In the Cage

[pinamar13]

que bien Alex como siempre ! un saludo dsde aca !

[kaludio60]

Amazing....

[dezsanderson]

I'd give my right arm to play like you, thanks

[hyperboreal]

@dezsanderson

But how would you play then? ;o)

You're very kind, thanks.

[Beltempest]

wow!! Ya hace tiempo te habia escrito acerca de una cancion de Gentle Giant que tocas calcado, pero debo decirte que con esta cancion , aparte de felicitarte por la ejecucion de las piezas, te felicito por la seleccion de los temas. Conocer un musico como tu debe ser lo mas para formar un grupo tributo a esas grandes bandas.

Saludos

[hyperboreal]

@Beltempest

gracias. Acabo de grabar hace unas semanas la parte de guitarra de Firth of Fifth para una banda de músicos youtuberos, se trata de iGenesis. El video estará disponible en breve, no te lo pierdas ;)

[jimbojasper]

Beautiful!

[nicklassayshi]

You are very skilled! Do you transpose it yourself?

[igotthejuicereturns]

oops! my mistake I meant Tony not Steve...:O I was too overwhelmed

[igotthejuicereturns]

do you have the tabs for this of know where I could them. this is an important ideal excercise technique in my opinion

[igotthejuicereturns]

damn this is so amazing! steve is genius!

[gfgdafgdf]

Brilliant transcription. Genius infact!

[AlanGarcia86]

Greaaaattt job man!

Greetings from brazil!

[EduUshuaia]

Fantastico Alex !!!, es un tema muy "dificil" de sacarle algo y tocarlo con un solo instrumento, Muchas gracias!

[soulsistahmel]

holy sheet!!! In The Cage!! you rock

[Marcusvdgg71]

You are really good...keep it up !!!!

[JeffBend]

other Genesis fans may hunt me down and kill me for this, but - dont you think it would have been nicer if once or twice Tony Banks had said "Go on steve, you do this bit on guitar".. Hackett is truely one of the Gratest forgotten guitar heroes (well, not forgotten here obviously - but you catch my drift..

sir - i adore your videos.

[hyperboreal]

@JeffBend

Thank you very much. Totally agree Hackett was frequently overshadowed by the omnipresence (well-deserved on the other hand) of Mr. Banks during that time . It'd have been interesting to see what would have happened if he had more input in the band.

[MrMusicman456]

@JeffBend I've heard that Tony was actually jealous of Steve and thats why Tony handled most of the solos

[geffel]

FYI Francsi DUnnery has recorded a version of In The Cage on his latest album

[teedlebomb]

Christ - speechless!

[RCROSSH]

Hay que ver como nos dejaste con la miel en los labios con esta interpretación...!

eres un crack!

[Zavage45]

Aaaawesome!!! :D Really cool intepretation! I enjoyed it thoroughly!

[Jhensy2001]

You're great of course, but it also highlights how wonderful Genesis was at those complex melodic passages.

[boblaursen]

I really like your style, eh.

I have an idea...

What say if you made up something and put it on youtube. And just say I added bass to it...and maybe vocals. And suppose I played what you did on the tv, behind me, while I taped myself as I played a bass line I had made up, along with whatever you had done...

I think that would be something innovative and never done before on youtube.

Whata ya say?

[15FifteenMusic]

Sweet Jesus. This is amazing.

[neonbreon]

simply wow

[toracoplastia]

Genial!!!

[rael7894]

...!

[movingstereo]

hola eres muy talentoso , podrias dar algunas clases gracias

[LesPaulGoldTop21]

Very good.

[RCROSSH]

Soy un apasionado fan de Genesis de cualquer época.......que pena que solo hayas grabado un minutillo.....Muy bueno !

[hyperboreal]

Ah, qué bien que te guste Genesis también. Es sólo un minutillo pero bastante intenso :) Gracias!

[neonbreon]

Man! Now THAT was hot!

[artgonewrong]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

[cashman156]

Wonderful man!!

[lecheenpolvo]

incredible

[hoffmanbikes777]

do u have the music or tab for the arrangement on guitar?

[toobertunes]

Very very well done. I'm giving up guitar now... :(

[vagcbeato34]

Bem !!! " Como è possivel ...?!

[themi90]

what the fuck, please move to new york so you can start a band with me

[MarxNutz]

Sweet!

[voidstuff]

you only use the pick ? or do you use some fingers sometimes to stroke the strings in this song???

I have trouble playing 0:13.

[voidstuff]

love it

[fooger12345]

This is really cool. It brings another side of the solo to life. What you have done is very soft and sweet, while still kicking ass.

[ericjohnsen666]

very cool! how come you didnt use an electric guitar?

[hyperboreal]

Well, I first recorded an electric guitar version. But I wasn't satisfied with the audio and removed that post.

[ericjohnsen666]

ahhh okay, well either way, it sounds great man! awesome job! XD

[julyvalls]

sos un genio! que buen tema , realmente exellente , te felicito !

[GrayhenTor]

Very nice!

[spiralarch]

Now that's what I'm talking about!

[rjkidd]

so cool! im working on a guitar arrngment of 'firth of fifth' right now...very inspiring to me

[troubleclef]

holy shit. I totally missed this one. that's scary weird and amazing. like Django Genesis.

[qwfwq2]

Great great! One of the finest Tony Banks solo, sound amazing on acustic guitar! Compliments!

[julyvalls]

genial! *****

[aaron1tatamovich]

muy bueno !!!!

[aaron1tatamovich]

ehh veo q contestas en castellano de donde sos?

[plaxico28]

hyperboreal no sabia que hablabas español...muy buenas tus versiones...se ve que tienes un grado academico de guitarra ya que no cualquiera toca una fantasia de john dowland...no solo por la tecnica si no por su dificil interpretacion

[Laeblum]

Holy poop, that was amazing.

[BORNTORUNANDALIVEMAN]

Damn! all I can say

[MisterQuebec]

Can you try the Cinema Show solo, please?

[arvydas0069]

Awsome job man. I enjoy your videos. Genesis' 12 string work is most enjoyable to the ear. If you have the time you should do the 12 string part of Supper's ready and dub in you playing all 3 guitar parts

[SirPatricio]

je en otro video escribí en inglés pidiendote algo de Jethro Tull, se que no sigue mucho la linea progresiva de Yes y Genesis por ej, pero me gustan tanto como estos ultimos, y que lo que mas se destaca en esa banda es la flauta, pero el tema "thick as a brick" es interesante en guitarra. Sos un guitarrista muy muy bueno che!gracias

[Pukkits]

oido absoluto???

[hyperboreal]

oído relativo jejeje. ya me gustaría, de hecho ya tengo incluso problemas para mantener bien afinadas mis guitarras en algún que otro video :o)

[danavanwinkle]

OMG U R AMAZING!!!!!

[remoreno]

Qué bueno !!!!. Vaya digitación. Un fenómeno.

[brianedmunds]

Why not just learn to play the keyboards???

[brianedmunds]

You have obviously mastered the guitar - I think you have immense talent that could be directed towards another instrument.

[Hyardacil]

Coming from a keyboardist...

wtf is wrong with playing a guitar?

[brianedmunds]

You're a keyboard player? Where are your postings? There is nothing wrong with him playing the guitar - I was offering him a compliment.

[Hyardacil]

@brianedmunds Well, perhaps I misunderstood. It seemed like you suggested that his talents are "wasted" on guitar or something like that.

My bad.

(I don't feel the need to prove, that I am a keyboard player :P)

[motorpsych0]

Fantastic!

[hyperboreal]

Thanks buddy.

[Bflat]

Una de mis canciones preferidas de uno de mis álbumes preferidos. ¿Se puede pedir más?

Gracias por esta entrada de año.

[hyperboreal]

Gracias Berni, y espero seguir manteniendo vuestro interés durante este año. Un saludo.

[gardenwall07]

yessss!! very better now on the acoustic guitar...it's ubelievable the way you don't look at the guitar playing those notes and that melody that isn't easy at all!! 5 stars

[hyperboreal]

Grazie Sandro!

[hyperboreal]

Muchas gracias Neelan! El sonido no es de lo mejor pero bueno, a estas alturas ya no es como para asustarse. Mis guitarras necesitan un drástico plan renove. Esperemos también que este año nos depare más videos tuyos. Saludos.

[Jig1123]

I can barely play this on the piano. Very impressive, sir.

[SCARAMACAI2]

Simply Great!!!

[genesiscrimsonmusiKc]

You never seem to dissapoint me with your Genesis songs. Simply amazing! You should redo "The Lamb Lies Down on Bradway" album.

[hyperboreal]

Very glad that you liked it.

[machinianfpro]

:)

As always, great !

grtz from Poland

[alprog2]

trés bon jeu bravo!!

[frankibio]

como tony banks también solía tocar guitarra (12 cuerdas) me parece muy apropiado. un experimento muy chulo. tómate una Mahou 5 estrellas!

[hyperboreal]

Jeje, gracias por esa Mahou, Carlos. Me extraña que los puristas no se escandalicen con estos experimentos míos :)

[lucianocraveiro]

Fantastic!

This is very cool.

I Know This Theme Very Well

5*****

[hyperboreal]

Thanks for those stars Luciano.

[hyperboreal]

I guess I could make it sound more faithful the day I get my hands on a midi guitar. Thank you for your words of appreciation Ethel ;)

[guyeylon]

Great work, hard as it is on the keyboard, it's probably even harder on guitar! Thanks for this!

[hyperboreal]

You're welcome, yep, this Tony Banks fellow is hard to follow when he's on a synth rampage.

[gazzo45]

Incredible! - great to see it.

[ALanSaidTrujillo]

Sweet.

[chamacojesus]

Muy bonito, perfecto para comenzar el año lleno de dinamismo y energía. Gracias Alex.

[miaris]

Brilliant!

[hyperboreal]

Thank you Mia.

[PubliusDiamond]
