  • Sounds magical. Well done. The opening harmonic bit always reminded me of Roundabout.

  • Nice job. I don't play the guitar except that I did pick up an acoustic guitar for one summer to familiarize myself with the fretboard so that as a piano player I would understand what the guitarist is thinking and doing. I always wanted to figure out how Greg Lake bent that G in this song. You explained it and demonstrated it perfectly.

    Thanks,
    Fezzy

  • Great instructor! I've played this song for a long time but it just didnt sound right. It's all the subtle things that you've pointed out that has made a huge difference.

  • Very satisfied i found YOU… whats yer name ? I'm 63, been rockin & rollin for a long time and finally decided to buy a 6 string. Not the biggest fan of ELP but, thought I'd be about the simplest to start with. I applaud you for the attention to detail and slow motion patience!! Baby steps. I would certainly pay you for one on one lessons all day long. Trust this statement >>> you are helping out countless people. THANK YOU VERY MUCH *

  • Thanks a lot from a 65 year old who doesn’t know how to give up like his middle school band teacher told him to ( I wanted to be the next Herb Alpert/Al Hirt)….you get me as close to getting it as anyone ever has. Your nice smooth patient way of showing the details makes it more insightful and inspiring.
    It’s been 8 years since you posted this. I hope all is welll with you and your family.

  • Hey you know I was able to take away what you were putting down and put it in the melting pot and make something that sounds about the same..

  • Great lesson.
    Lake definitely bends the low E @ the 2nd. He doesn’t slide up to the G, as some do.
    The bend on 2nd string 3rd fret walk down connector makes that work.

  • That fast chromatic run segues directly into the solo. I tend to just cram those notes before moving into the main melody. You mentioned the synth solo a couple of times, but no mention of the guitar solo. It's not the most technically demanding solo, but it's still pretty tastefully done.
