Firth of Fifth

[klepetar]

the path is clear, though no eyes could seee.....

well done!!

[hellacott]

I love this! Genesis is amazing, as is Tony banks!

[SinthoAbled]

si capiva che eri uno che ci sapeva fare con i tasti ma non sapevo che ne usavi degli altri oltre a quelli della keyboard complimenti veramente bravo

[irons60]

Eccellente interpretazione, un vero piacere avere apprezzato le Tue doti. Complimenti

[spauracchio11]

bravo, bravissimo Tony, sei stato perfetto!

[mocat1]

Good job. I remember being about 7 years old, and my godparents' son sat down at the piano and played it. I was in absolute awe of the song.

[Deviant1853]

Excellent work, though you were rushing it, slow the pace down take your time!

Perfectly done though :)

[CuppaTeable]

Just love this piece .. you were fab but how much has your piano had to drink? Could do with a tune!

[Umitasan]

u play beautifully

[RussianMummy]

Bravo! Brilliant job! :¬D

[OnefortheVine]

great version! almost identical to the recording

[Delphi333]

Nice job and you nailed those fast triplets in the 13th measure really well!!! :)

[randomguyh8y]

since u didn't know the music u re an amazing piano player

[barrensoul]

Beautifully done. Slow it down and enjoy yourself! Bravo!

[maurasper]

complimenti....

[samubd]

Very talented!!! But I have to agree with other posts: in my opinion the execution of this materpiece requires A LOT of expression!!! Don't worry: with your talent more expression is very simple to achieve

[cosmonauta2001]

bravíssimo!

[memalley]

sick nast. spot on.

[scattz]

man that is perfick! You have yourself a talent! Ignore the whole expression thing! You were amazing!

[Kpex908]

Is this in the key of B Flat?

[Hyardacil]

It changes keys several times.

It begins with B Flat, yes.

[kipp0man]

I really enjoyed your rendition of this masterpiece, you obviously have great skill as a pianist/keyboardist, remember even Banks himself doesn't seem to want to play this live ( surely it aint too hard for HIM !! )

I think the quality of recording didn't help in letting us hear your expression, so don't be annoyed by some of the crap comments, just remember, there are those who can really play, & the rest of us become critics !!

[karakudam]

I guess ineptuser is mistaking musical expression by facial expressions.

[kittenlover777]

How can this be? It is indoubtedly a flawless performance, however, put EXPRESSION into it. this cannot be taught. You must find it in yourself, and you have,as of yet, not. I am so terribly sorry to contradict everyone here, but it was a very dry performance

[ineptuser]

you must not have ever seen the writer of this song perform.

Tony Banks has about as much expression as a shoebox.

[murphitz]

Musical expression is something Banks has in abundance. his skills as a writer and player are outstanding.

I much prefer Banks the way he is instead of those morons who concentrate on looks and image because they have nothing else to offer.

you obviously arent familiar with his works

[alessandrodamico]

chiudendo gli occhi... bravo!!!

[DrWolphry]

Actually the best performance in youtube. I learnt a lot thanks to you

[Zivass]

Molto molto molto bravo, complimenti!!!! Bravissimo!

[roesler]

Fantastic

[joewatson406]

Absolutely Jaw-droppingly fantastic. I keep telling my brother he should learn it, and for some reason he's not up for it :'(

[guyeylon]

this is very good- but if you'd play that along with the original performance- you'd find that there are quite a few mistakes along the way... nevertheless, that's great :D

by the way, i have written down the sheet music for this and printed it, i think it's fairly accurate... is anyone interested?

[mbrellin]

Bello, bravo, complimenti!

[Delphi333]

Nice job! I am working on this one now! :)

[ajmuqeih]

Everything looks simpler from the aeriel point of veiw, but i know that i couldn't even come close to playing that well. excellent work

[elements240]

Wow...this is the best one on youtube soo far...

[teddyz2112]

some people are so jealous, they make bad comments, but have no talent. you did a GREAT JOB and must have practiced a lot. thank you for posting this video.

[GeneralSeptem]

That's pretty awesome. I'm trying to figure out how to play that myself. Watching you play it could be of some help. Nice job. =D

[ianstronach]

very very nice. well done. Tony banks would be delighted.

[sanmiguelito64]

the best one yet i've seen on youtube and who isn't camera shy,nice job

[louco5]

I like how you play the fast triplets right before the high notes. Why can't my fingers move that fast? I ruin the tempo every time i reach it.

[blueredfred2]

my bassist can play it and he is 14 :S

[Jus90]

I played it, and I don't think it is very difficult... you just have to try and try, and you'll learn it ;)

[emercito]

Simply the best Tony banks´ solo that he has created

[rushyeskansas]

Hey man, looks really EASY how you play that intro. very good! but i know it is hard work. i also play it, but i always mess up with the damn left hand, because i never had piano lessons! keep on posting!

[tipappo]

now that you're telling me, i can hear it.

[tipappo]

good i am still learning it. but why don't you use the pedal?

[worstnews]

?!?

I DO use the pedal throughout song. Just listen to the beginning, there's a hold on the Bb bass...

[salmacis81]

A master piece... very good interpretation

[CiberFil]

nice ^^

i play it on eletric guitar

[MisterQuebec]

It sounds emotionless because he plays all the notes with the same loudness. Sounds robotic like someone talking monotone.

[worstnews]

I accept critics, but you have to say the truth... Just listen again, the truth is out there.

[prosoloist]

Nice job. I have the sheet music for that. I found it online about 5 years ago. It was transcribed by some oriental person, I believe. It's only 2 sheets of paper but I worked at it for a long time and eventually played the instrumental section with a band but I usually screwed it so we dropped it. We'd go from middle on out through the last verse, etc. If anyone wants the sheet music and can't find it I might be able to help. email me at jimhere1961 at yahoo

[californiasonshine]

I've heard/seen the nearly exact note for note piano solo of this song on four different youtube vids. All great. Wondering, is there a songbook from which all are reading from, methinks so. Keep up the great work. What do you think of "Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" Genesis youtube vid I did for my boy?

[prosoloist]

There are MIDI files available in the internet. Also, I found a transcription about 5 years ago which is accurate.

[PrZemek44]

God job! It's one of my favourites and you didn't screw it too much... Just kidding, keep working on it.

[coxkeys]

absolutely fantastic job!!

[xspire]

nice. you should take that middle part (the one in e minor where peter gabriel has the flute solo) and add that to the beginning, playing the flute part on piano like tony banks used to do after gabriel left the band.. i used to play this back in the day, and always did that. it made for a nice buildup to the main piano part.

[MarxNutz]

Nice!

[pianopiano]

you have no friends

[lindbergh]

Nice - but with no feeling

[CygnusRoc]

No feeling? It sounded almost like the original except for a few spots.

[splent]

Awesome; did you have actual music for that or did you learn it by ear? I got some music but after listening to the actual song again I realized that a bunch of it is wrong.

[Skyhawk432]

Nice beginning. All you have to do now is learn the whole song.
