Serrana is a solo guitar etude that relies heavily on arpeggios and the technique of sweep picking. It was written and composed by neo-classical metal guitarist Jason Becker. Though the final orchestral trumpet version appears on his album Perspectiveits roots can be traced to almost the mids. Serrana was composed in the late s while Becker was in the band Serraja.

Around this time, the guitarist began to incorporate the composition into his solosusing complex sweep picking techniques. One such performance was sergana during an April concert in Japan.

Again inshortly before being diagnosed with ALS at nearly 20 years old, Becker performed a nearly ninety-minute guitar clinic at the Atlanta Institute of Music in Norcross, Georgia. This is his last recorded performance of Serrana. Melodically, the piece is mostly composed of one and two octave major and minor triadic arpeggios within the key of D major. The last serraba of the piece is composed of various minor and diminished arpeggios.

Serrana (composition)

The piece follows these chord changes: The piece ends on the note G. At the end of the piece, Becker uses his whammy bar on his Floyd Rose tremolo system to bend the notes up beckeg half step and back down.

Becker’s father played the trumpet part backwards on guitar on the introduction of the studio version of the song.

The recording was then played in reverse. Jason mentions this during the Atlanta performance of the song.

His ex-girlfriend and still best friend shares the song’s name. He thought her name suited this piece perfectly. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
