Days of Grace (Anthony Phillips)

[Harky1951]

I am a big fan of Allen (Carvetop) and saw your comment on his channel so I thought I would check yours out. Very relaxing. I have a friend who just bought a Taylor classical model. They do indeed sound soothing and sweet. Nice job......Pamela

2 Corinthians 12:9

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

[amccann7]

Excellent.

[troubleclef]

I appreciate the first comment on this in a year.  'old wives tale' is a different piece though. How is your comment 'mean'? Am i missing something?

Yes, Alex does a great job and i've been subscribed to his channel for a couple years so I don't miss new things he does.

[jesusrulesnow]

Are you a classical purist or are you doing amazing "fingerpicking?" You got it dude whatever it is!

[troubleclef]

Ant said somewhere on his website that it's very unlikely that he'll ever publish more sheet music after the book of 6 or 7 pieces he did 20 years ago. Not sure why. I would love to see more of his stuff in publication.

Nice to see a Phillips song on youtube. He and Hackett are both great. Thanks!

[yardenkatz]

Why can't I view the video? It says "embedding disabled by request"?

[troubleclef]

you're probably trying to watch it from some place other than youtube? otherwise, i'm not sure why that's happening. I can watch it from multiple computers

[reallyharried]

That's beautiful! What a great discovery! Your posts are one gem after another.

[troubleclef]

thanks a million

[Tahllulah]

;O)

[fngrpckr]

Very well played as usual! Some interesting chords in this. Beautiful!

[hedgewytche]

Most beautiful chord progressions! It actually brought tears to my eyes...

[hyperboreal]

Woo hoo, you're playing Ant at last :)

Just like the record only he adds a little bit of reverb in it. I'm not a big fan of reverberation myself anyway so the result it's perfect for me. More Ant!

[troubleclef]

thanks. I do like the recorded sound on Field Day though. I don't think the reverb is overdone (as it is frequently on a certain Mr. Hackett's classical guitar recordings...)

Yes, definitely will do more Ant. Will probably learn "Oubliette" from watching your version and listening to the track.

cheers.

[hyperboreal]

Sure, it's a subtle and balanced use of reverb on Phillips' recording and I like it a lot. I was particularly thinking of that outrageous overuse you mention on "Bay of Kings" and "Momentum" by Hackett. Just the amount needed to spoil some beautiful pieces, why oh why...

[matzac97]

great !;-)

[TwilightDrop]

really beautiul... do you have a cd out or anything?... I would love to buy a copy...

[troubleclef]

no, no cds. if there ever is one, i'll promote it on my channel, you can bet.

[lordrudy44]

please do

[Veralucy]

Obrigada Tony!

Never heard it before!

So lovely!

[feral07]

I'm sure I've heard this be4 in a film, but I can't remember the name of it...Old Age setting in. Excellent as usual Tony. Love the new look as well.

Well it's a pretty recent album so don't know if it's made it on to a film soundtrack yet. I wouldn't be surprised though since I'm pretty sure that Ant's music has appeared in film and television over there in old Blighty quite a bit.

thanks!

[jeffA911]

Made me pause and reflect with grace. Thanks.

[123michaelm123]

This is a great song from a beautiful album; I think Anthony Phillips was definitely inspired by some of Steve Hackett's spanish guitar work in the 80's-90's. Job well done.

[theriven1]

if you close your eyes and let yourself get involved...dream...the first part is awesome : ) excellent : )

[scudder99]

Thank you.  You totally get it.

[DashHopes]

Super as always!

[freecellfreaky]

amazing as usual

[toofast4love]

[frenchytouch]

[jgribin]
