Genesis - Harold the Barrel

[Olav321]

I would love a tutorial for this video, or maybe a MIDI file or sheet music link :D And very good playing btw. :)

[NintendoJohnWii]

What's the chord progression of the song?

[jumb0j0ck]

I'd love to at some point although I've probably only got 95% of the tune as it should be. Also, I've given up the keys for a while, about 6 months now, but will probably go back to them at some point. Until then, I'll leave these videos up for folk to have a look at. Thanks for the comments.

Now, where did I put that head-cam...

[Killerproff]

Please do a tutorial for this song, or almost a recording with camera on your head!

[EasyCompanyMusic]

Super!! 

[MrChalinho]

Very good!



[kernowdel]

Absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed that.

[nbutlerdidit]

very well played! a fave song of mine also.

[jumb0j0ck]

I think my fingers are too short and fat to play keys any more. I wonder if it's too late to take up the bass guitar?

[notToast]

if the keyboard's a rocking, don't come a knocking

[godbluffvdgg]

banks's use of melody is second to none. this looks like a fun song to play. and I love nursery crimes.

[troublesomecorsair]

this is probably the second best song in Nursery Cryme. awesome job! i could watch this over and over again without gettin' tired of it! thanks so much for posting!

For all ye Genesis fans like me who want to play this song, download the midi version of this song

then download this program that opens the midi in notation (so that you can see all the notes)

[TheExeter]

Thats terrific.

Are you in a band?

[SantiTheBarrel]

but what's the name of the company? thanks

[jumb0j0ck]

Rugginenti...

[SantiTheBarrel]

Where can we get the "Rugginenti book" ??

Is it on the internet? or should we buy it?

[jumb0j0ck]

It's on the internet, an Italian company. Put ".it" after the company name and you're there.

[MrFritzkrieg]

hi

what are the chords to this song? could you send them 2 me?

frtz

[jumb0j0ck]

It starts in C min, then goes to Eb with a Bb root, then...actually this would take far too long. Like I said earlier, get the Rugginenti book and take it from there. If you're a Genesis fan, you'll love the book.

[MrFritzkrieg]

thanks!

[ChimeChimera]

@jumb0j0ck

Hey there, I'd love to buy the book but I can't seem to find it on the web. Maybe you could send me a link to what I'm looking for. Thanx in advance nice playing too. Later!

[alsantosmusic]

Wonderful! Many thanks for sharing it, this song is Genesis at their best. Congratulations!

[zeppidy]

great job! I love this song!!

[jumb0j0ck]

Many thanks.

[Anglagard1]

There are no prog-rock lessons on youtube. Would you ever consider doing some? Nice job by the way.

[jumb0j0ck]

I'm not sure how. Most music of this type consists of 3 elements: the notes, the sounds and the show. I'm not really interested in the third, but the first 2 if I can.

Under the prog rock umbrella, there's much variation between bands, so it would have to be Genesis related for me. Although I like to think I've made progress in what I've posted, there are others out there in tribute bands better-suited to instruction.

Check out the Musicians' Corner forum thread on the genesis-music website.

[Criswallmig]

Congratulations!!

[jumb0j0ck]

Thank you.

[fernald10]

Harold the Barrel is certainly a humorous song but it's more than that. There's poignancy too.

[dbeckster]

Do you have sheet music? If so please tell me where to find it!

[jumb0j0ck]

You can get the music from Rugginenti who do a range of books of earlier albums. But you have to tweak it to make it sound more like the original.

[sonicdeath10]

Love the chordings here.
