​Alone Mandolin Tab By Alan Walker

​Alone Mandolin Tab And Sheet Music By Alan Walker In D Major. As the Fiddle is tuned the same as the mandolin, this tab will also work for the Violin.
​Playing "Alone" by Alan Walker on the piano is moderately easy for an intermediate player. While a beginner can learn the core chord progression, mastering the song's iconic melody and capturing its electronic feel requires more skill and rhythmic precision.


Factors That Make It Playable

• Simple Chord Progression: The song is built on a straightforward and repeating chord progression. The most common piano arrangements use fundamental chords that are easy to learn and transition between. Once you have this progression down, you can play a significant portion of the song.
• Clear, Melodic Structure: The song's melody is simple, catchy, and memorable. It follows a clear, predictable pattern that makes it easy to learn and play by ear.
• Repetitive Sections: As is typical of EDM, the song has a very repetitive structure. The main melody and chord progression loop throughout the song, which makes it easy to memorize.

The Main Challenges

• The Signature Riff: The song's most recognizable part is the repeating synth melody that is an essential part of its identity. To play it authentically on the piano, a player must be able to execute this rhythmic and melodic riff with a high degree of precision, which is more challenging than playing a simple vocal line.
• Translating the Genre: "Alone" is an electronic song with a driving, percussive beat. To capture the feel of the original, a pianist must be able to play with a steady, robotic rhythm. This requires a different approach from playing a lyrical ballad and can be difficult to master.
• As the Fiddle is tuned the same as the mandolin, this tab will also work for the Violin.
  
• Layered Production: The original song is a complex piece of electronic production with multiple layers of sound. A pianist attempting to play a full, authentic version of the song would have to interpret these different parts and combine them into a single arrangement, which requires a good sense of hand independence.
