[godu1111]

Superb !

When you finished I just stood up and clapped.

[kalisteboat]

Your soul is directly connected to your guitar. I'm sure everybody here feel it !

A great moment.

[papalazerus22]

Outstanding !

[kostas3D]

Absolutely amazing and inspirational! Thank you!!!

[davimundo]

Dudo mucho que pueda haber algún músico que interprete este tema tal como el lo hace.y si lo hay seguramente necesitara las partituras.como se dice en Chile, se llegan a parar los pelos.Gracias Troubleclef por mostrarnos tu arte.

[AMetal24]

Complimenti!!!!

[chordchaser]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[jamcouto1]

[amccann7]

truly an amazing feat for solo guitar! Impressed, once again!

[CBurton]

Quite impressive dear sir. Maybe it's my ear fooling me, but I believe you should flat down the bass note half tone at 3:37 and it's repetition later on (of course). Sorry for the poor English, learned musical theory in Latin terms.

Anyway, loved your arrangement, one of my favorite prog rock songs. I know being asked for scores gets annoying, but in case you've written it down since you recorded this, I would be most grateful for your patience.

[neew1985]

We are a genius !

And I am also musician by the way.

[MrRobeach]

you are really a great musician

[spippolo1973]

I would like to let you know how you made me happy listening to you. Thanks!

[4umtator]

If I didn't see this, I wouldn't have believed it. Wow, one of Genesis' best songs ever and totally transcribed from beginning to end! Great performance!

[carlscarlet]

This is truly incredible..an unbelieveable arrangement and executed perfectly.

[joguitac]

It's fantastic, congratulation !

Jo

[LesPaulZoso94]

IT'S PERFECT!

[darealkeyzz]

Magnifique !

[oldrichflorian]

How can anybody dislike it? It is awesome cover!

[EranProductions]

You look like a proffesor and you play like one

[godu1111]

Press "thumb up" if you play guitar and can appriciate this effort.

[ugtibo]

18 people simply do not play or enjoy guitar...

[Gooseberry51]

Pretty amazing!!

[stashwax]

this song is a musical mindfuck and you've brought such elegant order to it. if i was genesis i would be amazed, humbled, honored, and eternally grateful for this loving tribute. and i can say that about every video of yours i've seen. complete comprehension of the full potential of this music and perfect expression every time. you are a gift.

[EranProductions]

Taylor acoustics\classics are divine

[NotoriousAWOL]

Very beautiful.

[kbheff]

This is one of my favourites; very moving.

I love early Genesis (among much other music) & also acoustic guitar. You combine these 2 passions of mine, but also injecting an extra indefinable something that just adds up to the apotheosis of these pieces - capturing complex musical ideas, original arrangements and emotions into 'simple' arrangements for 1 guitar. If only it were that 'simple'! I play a little; like others, I am equally inspired & daunted by your work (arranging & playing). Thx++!

[DemonFuuck]

Love that song *-*

[johnharitason]

Whoa - awesome!

[johnharitason]

Whoa - awesome!

[StefHoff]

Tears in my eyes..... wonderful......

[arkariann]

Impresionante!

[jvelueta]

I just can't stop checking this video trying to figure how you do it, consider me a fan.

[dohertykaki]

Amazing!

[JuanSebastianGarces]

Beautiful version! Congrats!

[gg59o]

Really fabulous. It's hard to say but I played that live. Now I feel like a dwarf

[EvilGnome6]

What an ambitious version of an ambitious song. Not only is your arrangement spectacular, your playing is beautiful and passionate. Bravo. I stand in awe of one of the best solo guitar pieces I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring.

[troubleclef]

@EvilGnome6

thanks!

[labeviamo]

Tony Banks in recent interviews claimed Invisible touch sold more than Selling England by the pound and reached much more people ... true but noone thinks about doing a cover of Invisible touch !!!

[ruivazribeiro]

And just when I thought I knew how to play the guitar...

Brilliant.

Job well done.

[GoRoyk]

Best youtube version of this classic song. I've just send this to my fathers email, he is a huge fan of genesis (I know he will love this) Thanks a lot. Lucas.

[tibanotturno]

sei bravissimo =)

[Arsenal2981]

Great!

[TheLurMan1]

MASTERFUL! This is just amazing. There aren't any tabs or scores, but is there a way to figure out how to play this?

[joejoespratt]

beautiful sir 

[scones1able]

This is a wonderful rendition of a wonderful track.

[USAJungleGym]

wow. totally blown away. AMAZING man!

-ManTIs

[cinziaberardi]

Bravissimo...you played Genesis as I could sing...

[Nurserycryme1]

Brilliant. Incredibly well-performed. Congratulations

[jdmack01]

Wonderful! I've been slooowly working out the fast piano part of this song on guitar and have never come anywhere close to what you played. Fantastic!

[jonsilence]

Beautiful.

[Tony66ification]

SEI UN GRANDE............

[RockshadysGmail]

Wow! That was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. Very nice!

[davidaems]

[snacklofter]

[troubleclef]

@snacklofter

thanks!

[lnoland1]

Brilliant! There's something wonderful about hearing the music of greatly creative artists such as Genesis filtered through the minds of other creative artists giving it new life. Your interpretation is wonderful and I have very much enjoyed listening to it. Thank you for sharing.

[troubleclef]

@lnoland1

thanks. i appreciate it.

[lbrlcn]

Bravo,bravo,bravo. Ciao luciano

[gabzep15]

Your guitar sounds so sweet! Great cover!

[xa3phod]

Truly remarkable. Do you ever play publicly? I would love to see you perform live.

[ATOMICOELIA]

I love this song!it's great to hear a piece like this, played in this way!! thank you very much!!

[MrHarpom]

You captured the nuance of the song beautifully , I would love to hear you play suppers ready.

[earlofmar11]

Incredibly beautiful arrangement! It allows us to hear this wonderful piece of music in a new light that fits it very well.

[BigVomit07]

Bellissima esecuzione!!!

[stevenjackson1958]

This is a superb version of this classic track.

[yaasha23]

Magnificent!!!

[walterdalessandro52]

amazing.....................

[gg59o]

C'est évidemment techniquement irréprochable. Bravo. Mais musicalement et au feeling, la guitare peut pas remplacer le piano sur ce morceau. J'ai eu la chance de faire la guitare avec un mec qui était le clone de Tony Banks sur ce morceau, waouh.

[Carlosmr1984]

Much respect, what a great cover!

Just want to know, what is that thing you've got in the upper side of the guitar?

Greetings from Ecuador!

[troubleclef]

@Carlosmr1984

[kukynerd]

It would have been interesting to have the cam focus on your hands and the guitar. We're Genesis fans and we loved your interpretation of this memorable song. Your performance is very moving. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing.

Mariana & Mariano, Buenos Aires

[sorrisodomal]

Muito bom! parabéns! CONGRATULATIONS! :)

[chungiemunchin]

You reawaken the appreciation for the music that I loved way back when it first came out. I've always loved this tune by Genesis but after years of toil and dealing with life coming at me 100 miles an hour, I forgot about this music. Then I found you and your heartfelt version of this tune and my eyes watered and my heart swelled. Thank you. Your playing touches me deeply.

[yosiv]

if i could play like this i would be a king.can it be teched?is it wreten somwher? your the best

[gibderfenson]

@yosiv I made a guitar pro transcription of it,ask me if you're interested

[Earthlinggb]

Gulp! :-) Wonderful.

[lousarh]

Absolutely wonderfull !! Genius, the way you capture the taste and the complexity of the songs in only 6 strings....no words, really !

[tucker10]

You captured the song so well and had my attention for the whole thing, thanks! Very nicely done! :D

[Maresciallo1966]

Bravissimo, grande emozione sentire questa canzone solo con chitarre.Grande

[racintracy]

Guitar genius, gives this Genesis fan chills...BRAVO!

[blackrover50]

Excellent, as is your cover of Greg Lake's Sage...

[troublesomecorsair]

Oh mah goodness! Outstanding! Better than outstanding! There's no words to describe it!

[wizzzo83]

bravo!!!! superbe version classique...

[leclercq1963]

wonderful stuff!!! tastefully played, one of the most harmonically complex pieces ever written... and WONDERFULLY PLAYED bravo!!

[condican]

Not even SH can do it better...Best Regards..

[Claudion2]

I'm flying...thanks for this...

[SterlingRe]

What a tasteful, well played version of this classic. I know you and others who play this stuff so well have a true appreciation for the original material. I'm a lifelong Genesis fan and I firmly believe they are one of the top 5 progressive bands of all time. You are a superb musician. Thanks for such great nostalgia.

[troubleclef]

@SterlingRe

thanks a lot for your kind words.

[TheMarchon1]

nicely arranged!!

[mariocirina]

Suoni in modo sublime davvero tanti complimenti!!!

[kaludio60]

[LabGuitar]

[moondog33]

Wow, I have been amazed at your skills for some time now but that was a whole different level of amazing .....

Thank you so much for sharing....!

[rejtmand]

Muy Bueno ! (from Buenos Aires)

[TYRESIUSI714]

This is a superb arrangement. The complexity of the various instrumentation coming together in the single voice of one instrument is breath-taking. Tremendous.

[troubleclef]

@TYRESIUSI714

thanks Tyresius. :D

[c00l0]

Thank you for all your vids! You have excellent taste and an excellent ear. Your clips honor the music, even sometimes distill it into something more accessible than the original. My grandparents would have loved your versions even if they hated the originals. Great job.

[postagb]

breathless

[remnrone]

did you spend much time arranging this?

[troubleclef]

@remnrone

i spent more time just rehearsing it by far than arranging it. i learned the keyboard section from a score of keyboard music, changing it to guitar and that took quite a while. not sure now how long it took in all. a few days or maybe a couple of weeks i'd say

[remnrone]

@troubleclef

ah, ok. I just wondered because i've spent more than half a year arranging one longer piece of my own, and i'm still not finished :S

It is for keyboard though, not my strongest instrument by far ;)

[daonfpe]

Hey troubleclef, been following your musical takes on Genesis for quite some time now...they are awesome! Thanks! Many cheers man!

[peskypesky]

fabulous!!!! thank you for sharing!

[lele54700]

exceptionnel!

c'est vraiment magnifique!

étant fan de genesis, je ne peux qu'aimer!

Vraiment bravo!

[2thetigerscave]

Great! I love this song and I'm speechless...

[DmitriOrtsiev]

Very nice work.

[c00l0]

Awesome. Man I wish the camera angle was a little better. Love your version of this and gonna try to learn it. Thank you for this and all your other clips.

[sertwin]

Bravissimo.

[potufus]

Great job man. Amazing!

[wesmatron]

Blew me away.

[ontherush77]

Stupid new fucking youtube I can't work out how to give you 5 stars

[monkeymama11]

lovelovelove

[hrmerr]

Really inspiring. I watched hyperboreal's FofF intro too. I find it wonderful that two very capable musicians can come up with very similar but unique arrangements of the same music. I love the sound of your Taylor Classical. What a gem.

[SephynnXx]

This shows you how amazing their music was at one time, this is one of the most amazing musical arrangements in rock history. And this cover sounds just amazing. That solo part is awesome...

[chrisofnottingham]

F**k my old boots, that was awesome! Somewhat ironic that the hardest part to arrange in was the guitar solo :-) Perhaps you would be allowed to lay another track over for that.

[MrChickentikka]

apart from the annoying camera angle very nice indeed

[petergabriel99]

Magnifico!!!

[andrenalinewlf]

maestro...

[paride061]

porco giuda

[escordeiro]

Amazing arrangement. First time I fell compelled to comment on a YouTube video.

Please put tabs or a score somewhere :)

[JazzyJonas]

Bravo! I'm gonna go listen to Genesis now ;-D

[gigaluke]

[rjkidd]

[oalberto2000]

Thank you !!!!! So wonderfulll !

MERCI !

[EppingForest64]

Sei proprio bravo ! Well done, wonderful

[stilleman]

Really wonderful. Any chance you might get these Genesis arrangements published? I'm sure there'd be a demand for them.

[mugore70]

sweeet !!! :)

[PabloRGA]

maestro

[Brahmarsi]

O God.... Wonderfullll!!!

[sirjel2]

Absolutely perfect

[vampiroangelico]

Very well done!

I'm a guitarist myself, and I found Genesis songs such as "blood on the rooftops" and "ripples" on guitar, the same way you found "firth of fifth".

I hope you don't mind if I learn the way you play this song, it's very similar to the way I would have arranged it.

Great job!

:-)

[troubleclef]

thanks. no problem. I appreciate it. cheers.

[enricodg]

mangifico... che genio

[lovettfan]

Absolutely wonderful

[bwadt]

so falta levitar e soltar lasers pelos dedos!!

CABULOSO

[gutaroveralla]

Didn't Tony Banks write you in order to thank you for this arrangement?

[legalizethegreen]

The sands of time were eroded by

The river of constant change.

Phenomenal playing on that number.

[rushproject]

Very, very nice. Great job!

[lkoymans]

[joadboy]

Must take you ages to transcribe / arrange those Banks' keyboard passages for guitar. Thanks for keeping the music Genesis alive by the way.

[davimundo]

se paso. muy pero muy bueno. la cago. todos los instrumentos en uno solo. excepcional

Bien che, hay un par de pífies pero un laburito te tomaste en hacer los arreglos de la voz y piano en la guitarra.. Muy bueno.

[renzodepa]
