Song Description:
“The Climb” is a song performed by American recording artist and actress Miley Cyrus, for the 2009 film Hannah Montana: The Movie. The song was written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe, and produced by John Shanks. It was released on March 5, 2009, as the lead single of the film’s soundtrack by Walt Disney Records. The song is a power ballad with lyrics that describe life as a difficult but rewarding journey. It is styled as a country pop ballad, and was Cyrus’ first solo song to be released to country radio. The instrumentation includes piano, guitar and violins.

“The Climb” was generally well received by critics and was nominated for the Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media at the 52nd Grammy Awards. However, the song was withdrawn from consideration by Walt Disney Records because it had not been written specifically for a movie as the category’s eligibility rules required. The song achieved worldwide success and became a top ten hit on charts in Australia, Canada, Norway and the United States. In the United States, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the eighth best selling digital single of 2009. Five months after its release, the single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The song’s accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Rolston, and depicts scenes of Cyrus climbing a mountain or singing, intercut with clips of Hannah Montana: The Movie. Cyrus promoted the song with several live performances. The first, at the Kids Inaugural: “We Are the Future” event on January 19, 2009, was the first time the song had ever been publicly heard. Cyrus also performed the song as the closing number of her Wonder World Tour.

“The Climb” has been covered by several artists and was the most popular choice of song among auditioners for the ninth season of the American singing contest, American Idol. Simon Cowell, creator of the British television talent show The X Factor, chose “The Climb” to be the debut single of the winner of the competition’s sixth series. Winner Joe McElderry’s cover, released on December 14, 2009, by Syco Music, topped the Irish Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics:
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming





But there’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”

Every step I’m taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody’s gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

Promo for my Instrumental Guitar CD Cosmic Playground

There must be a lot of monkey bars and turbo-tube slides in DeGeorge’s playground. It’s fun to zoom through all the melodies, wah stabs, keyboard flurries, shred bits and harmony solos, and then collapse with giddy exhaustion.
Guitar Player magazine

“If there’s justice in the world, Rod DeGeorge will be one of the brightest stars amongst 21st century new guitar heroes…this is one of the hottest guitar instrumental records in the last few years. A must buy, no doubt about it!” – 10 out of 10 points.
HammerWorld Magazine, Hungary

“Check out this adventurous young fella: his playing is very exciting, and his technical proficiency is quite admirable.”
Elliott Randall (Steely Dan/Solo Artist)

“It almost frightens me about what we may see in the future from this incredibly talented musician. Cosmic Playground is more than a calling card…it’s a full-on statement of purpose that he has arrived and demands your attention”
Progscape.com

Rod DeGeorge is by far one of the most prolific talents I have come across in a long time. His international flavor is sure to become a heavy influence on future artists for years to come
Twisted Voice

“I would pity the Devil if he ever made his way from Georgia to Pennsylvania cause as bad a time as he had with Charlie, he would just be thrashed by Rod!”
Sea of Tranquility

“Rod DeGeorge has the potential to be a big guitar hero like Steve Vai or John Petrucci. Points: 15/10 (no, not 10…15!!!)”
Gitarren-Blog.de
“Solid, clean playing and great shredding skills abound, but unlike the modern prog-metal heads who are into shredding without making much of a musical statement, this guitarist speaks volumes in his writing, technique, and phrasing.”
Music Street Journal
“Then there was Rod DeGeorge’s legendary playing I’d heard so much about and finally got to see. And yes, he’s as good as the rumors and then some”. -Roving Reporter, Cindy Rutolo – Dietrich, PA Musician

“DeGeorge’s guitar work is nothing short of magnificent and his songs have interesting and inventive chord structure changes” – Jim Speese, Reading Eagle

This is the first video with my Carvin V3, but don’t critique the sound quality, because the camera’s mic is shitty. I do however like to think that its godly tone is somewhat showcased. I’ve been playing for three-ish years. It’s just a guitar solo (really more of a sweep picking exercise, hence the title). I was motivated to learn sweep picking by studying the work or artists such as Frank Gambale, Rusty Cooley, and Jason Becker.

Many have asked exactly how I went about learning sweep picking. There’s really no one way to learn. All I can say is practice it a lot. Nothing but sweep picking, sweep picking, sweep picking. Get a metronome, as doing it in time is very important and difficult, especially if you try to do it AFTER you’ve learned to sweep at a good speed. Everybody learns at a different pace, and sweep picking may be easier or harder for you than other players, that’s just the way it is. Personally, sweep picking seems to almost “come naturally” to me at this point. I find it easier than alternate picking.

Thanks for watching!
