Welcome to my instrumental ambient guitar cover of The Siren from the album Once by Nightwish. This powerfully atmospheric symphonic metal song stands out from much of the genre through it's strong eastern Mediterranean influence through the use of drone notes and tremolo picking (very fast alternate playing of a string with plectrum). For this performance I made full use of the stereo outputs from the delay and reverb pedals and had a lot of fun creating a variety of dark ambient sounds. I hope you enjoy the result!
