As with all your videos, thanks a million times over for all the time, hard detailed work & passion that you put into these videos Lileigh!!

Also thanks to Francios & Analog Mike for providing the mind blowing insight.

@trople _ I thank you, again, Trople..for being such a stalwart and supportive viewer of this series. I echo you on the comment for Francois and Analog Mike...(and they don't even KNOW how "mind-blowing" they really are, in their pure love of the technical art of this whole thing!) *beaming smile* xoxo Lil

Thank you so much for sharing your love of this music, and its creators, with the world. These are amazing and informative documents, and a real pleasure to watch. <3

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@lbcsrw ~ You're very, very welcome, dear lbcsrw...it's such a pleasure to me that all our hard work, there in Tribeca, is being so enjoyed by everyone (who share our extreme curiosity for the electric AND eclectic! Lol ).

All my best... xoxo Lil

BTW, I play a lovely Gibson ES-335 semi accoustic (I mean, the guitar is lovely, not necessarily my playing lol...)

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@beatroot09 ~ hahaha! (You're a very funny guy, Beatroot! ;-)

[beatroot09]

Thanks for reply. So that makes me wonder: what he thought was unique about the sound of Les Pauls back then ( I always associated Les Pauls with quite a macho bluesy sound, which certainly doesn't fit Mr Hackett) and how he has changed his opinion about guitars these days (although I not very uptodate with what he is doing now). But will check out his web site. Cheers! More vids please! ;-)

As always, great stuff. Your work is, I think, a 'must see' for Genesis fans.

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@kyla2112 ~ Thank you, Kyla..it's so good to have you, here, among The Faithful ! *beaming smile*

I always wondered how SH got the 'out' tuning on Counting out time...mystery solved. One thing I always wondered too was why SH always played Les Pauls exclusively...most guitarists switch between gibsons, fenders etc depending on the sound and type of sing they are playing. But not Steve, loyal to the Lp to the end.

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@beatroot09 ~ Hi, Beatroot! Actually (and I didn't know much about this, until I started researching for this video) - Steve has expanded his guitar model Horizons (pun fully intended! lol) to the following models: Fender Stratocaster, Fernandes Burny Pink Strat (join the Fernanded Les Paul Black & Gold), Schecter Strat and more. His website Hackettsongs(dot)com features a truly superb "Guitars & Equipment" info page - which provides some excellent pics of both Steve & his guitars. xoxo Lil

God, I might as well shoot myself for not seing The Musical Box live when they played down here. I have totaly underestimated them, I hope I'll be able to catch them next time they are in town. I hear they sound even better than Genesis in the old days.. and their drummer is badass! Thanks Leigh, luv u

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@SuperGrayeagle ~ *grin* luv u 2, SGE. So very, very sorry you missed TMB as they careened through from my state to yours, last October. :-( Phoenix gave them a great reception (very well attended, very responsive crowd, here at the beautifully-restored Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix). They are currently in Europe-but, are set to return to the East Coast, in May. Perhaps you should look to taking a side excursion to NYC's Tribeca PAC to catch their final U.S. concert - on May?! xo Lil

[TheCorrectAnswer56]

I love this! Most of this stuff went right over my head but it's amazing all the different sounds Hackett was able to create with his guitar. He always looked like the guy who was just sitting on stage not really doing much, but wow, he really was a big part of the early Genesis sound. But I am a drummer, and I can't wait for you to post the drum kit tour. That was one of the most impressive drum kits I have ever seen. Looking forward to it! And great job again!

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@TheCorrectAnswer56 ~ Believe me, CA56..we are currently working VERY hard on coming up with as good (and expert) a material for the drumkit of Phil's area as we did for Steve's! We didn't have a drummer, on site, to door the tour...but, my esteemed collaborator Tom Lord-Alge stood in for it, did a great job & we're now adding on to his bit to make it as "chock full" as the Hackett video. Stay tuned! *happy chuckle*

xoxo Lil

Awesome! I am a huge Hackett fan, fellow guitar player, and student of Steve's music. I was snapping shots of his currrent pedal board and rack components on his last tour in the US. Some of the sounds coming from his current rig are truly amazing. I saw the Musical Box do the "Lamb" in Philadelphia several years back. Great show. God bless "The Musical Box".

My channel is dedicated to his Steve's solo work.

Thanks for posting

@TheHacketteer ~ god bless you, too, Hacketeer..for helping to promote one of the nicest (and most gifted, original) musician's to ever grace this planet. Steve is a singular originator of mesmerizing words...and a 1st-rate gentleman, to boot. ;-)

xo Lil

[Lasaril]

Leigh, you never cease to amaze me! What a great team you have assembled for this technical analysis. I have always been amazed at the sonic "atmospheres" that Steve could achieve with all of that old gear. I was surprised NOT to see his beloved ebow among all that gear. Perhaps he didn't use it on the Lamb? Again: great work, dear!

[LileighWhiteLilith]

@Lasaril ~ Crikey! We forgot to mention the E-Bow! *smack of forehead, in response* Goes to show there were so many pieces of vintage eye candy..we overlooked one that was there staring us in the face. *hanging of head, in shame*

BUT! I did get some shots of it, in the frame...so, I have added some short YT graphics to point it out, my dearest Lasaril (so people can see/know what we are talking about)!

As always, thank you for being "spot-on" with all your keen observational skills, Sean. xox
