[jernskulder]

fabuleuse interprétation. j'adore.

[mannaggiacaz]

bravo!

[francesco21392]

I think you are just... Amazing

I play guitar for many years, and I can understand that your level is very high.

Thanks for the good music, and sorry for the english, but I'm Italian :D

[xfblanc]

Brilliant take on brilliant music. I agree completely with mario, you should make a record.

Cheers, Paco

[gg59o]

Wonderful ! How to manage 3 guitars in one

[abiliosimeao]

Awesome chord melody. Bravo!

[neonbreon]

simply incredible, an amazing song done amazingly, thanks

[teaflax]

A wonderful, wonderful version of one of the best songs ever written. You've really made my day (and I needed it). Thank you.

[xa3phod]

Holy Moly that was amazing! I am a long long time fan of Genesis and that was just fantastic!

[aspettaunmomento]

Sei molto bravo, complimenti !!! E' bello anche perchè io canto sui brani che tu suoni. Ciao da Napoli

[marterllll]

exellent job

[marterllll]

exellent!!!!!!

[Tumatan44]

It is really interesting to hear this song stripped down to just the guitar. I think it just shows how amazing early Genesis/ Steve Hackett is. Thank you for this amazing rendition, you bring out the beauty and power of the peice.

[LuInthesky84]

Excelente!! Congrats!

[Madispoiss79]

You made my day !

[frenchexperience]

tu sont genereux n'est pas merci bien!

[alnetworks2010]

What a fabulous job with this piece... too!!! S U P R E M E!!!

[Poil1958]

I'm a old fan of Genesis and I played a lot when I was young. After I saw your video I re-tune my guitar and restarted to play and try to play as good as you. I read then you play on ear.. You have much then that... Your a wondefull arranger for me and your comprehensive music is wondefull.. thanks... I hope you understand .. My english is not my first language. Long life to you

[troubleclef]

@Poil1958

thanks! I do a lot of arranging by ear, but also read music and occasionally play from score, etc. Glad to hear you're playing again. Never quit.

[Jagstaldincola]

@troubleclef troubleclef, how can you be this great? i myself are 20 years old, been playing guitar for about 8 years and i love genesis! i mean, this should be impossible to comprehend, it just stuns me to see something this unique!

[vulpecula999]

fantastic - your arrangement skills are extraordinary

[VVVS1974]

Really brilliant! Wish I could play like you!

[ivaraksnes]

Great taste, great job! Thanks man!

[megamanguitarguy]

Amazing! :D great job O.o

[c00l0]

Thank you for all your vids!  You have excellent taste, excellent ear and excellent talent. I like that your clips honor the music, even sometimes distill it into something more accessible than the original. My grandparents would have loved your versions but wouldn't have listened to the originals. Great job.

[troubleclef]

@c00l0

thanks, buddy

[drj602]

"Water retreats!" thanks again...Wow!

[cariocachioggia]

grande!! come hai fatto a impararla così bene??

[Hyardacil]

One of the most obscure and beautiful gems by Genesis.

THANK YOU! For performing this piece!

[Sovietico88]

AWESOME!!!

Genesis the best band of the world :D

[pachulay]

BRAVO BRAVO !!! YOU TOUCH MY SOUL!

[Jbeliski]

....effortlessly blowing....

wonderful!

[brianedmunds]

One of my all time favorite Genesis songs. You've done an excellent job of re-creating the sound.

[troubleclef]

thanks Brian

[mario94parrain]

@troubleclef You seriously should make a record... It really kicks my ass ! lol

[vulpecula999]

a magnificent arrangement

[Locomamonk]

I used to play this one on the piano, it's really fun to play it. Your version is beautiful, love it.

[trophine66]

I'm italian, my english is not very good , but I wanna say: I love,love how you can play Genesi with only guitar!!!

[0ldfinger]

Just stumbled across this now. It is just amazing - what talent you have, man. Perfect.

[Liizooou]

Bravo ;+) Quel travail et quelle oreille !

As-tu publié une tab ? Comment se la procurer ?

Encore merci pour ce bon moment.

[dmoonlitknight]

Brilliant!! one of my favourite songs!!!

[GLICKTON]

spot on :)

[MassimoAlberto]

Perfect

1,54 exceptional

[IVANP62]

Brilliant! Obviously a genesis fan who has n excellent ear for the better guitar pieces. Nice one!!!!

[troubleclef]

thanks, man

[KeithWhalen11]

WOW, exceptional playing man!

[TheGreatCthulhu]

Very nicely done sir!

[joefloydwonka]

whoa man... you're so amazing...

[Anathem0]

[fierfly25]

Awesome!

[irons60]

Eccellente arrangiameno, bravissimo!!

[troubleclef]

thanks

[Tuurke01]

Beautiful sound! Well done!

[mountainwoodnils]

That was great!!!

[exitpoll]

Thank you so much... just the right amount of "God I wish I could do that" and "I think I can, I think I can"... lovely and accessible

[checkmatehehe]

I'm determined to learn this. Is this standard tuning?

You're amazing by the way!

[troubleclef]

i think it's in drop-d. thanks

[tragicommedian]

Bravo!!!

[Catorzio]

Oooh. I am not the only one who remembers these songs. Where have those days gone.

[netenute]

You'd be surprised at how many 20 year-olds listen to the early genesis and other progressive bands from the 70's these days.

[sheer88]

I'm one of them!! :)

Great arrangement, anyway! As all the others!

[jamminjem714]

I'm one too! I am absolutely in love with this song at the moment, I can't help playing it on a loop... But generally, everything from early Genesis is just fantastic

[kickerman8]

I do too! Genesis is my favorite band, even at 21 years old. And I mean this era Genesis too, not even the more poppy 80s songs

[musighitta]

che bravoooo complimenti... ho cantato assieme al video!!! W GENESIS

[countryumb30]

id like to play guitar like you ... :(

[johnnytheb26]

oops

[johnnytheb26]

brilliant ..I bought this album in 73..everyone loved "suppers",..as did I,...but this was my second fave....written about King Canute trying to hold back the sea....near where I live in Southampton...

[mk1gte]

Holding it back somewhere near Ocean Village if I'm not mistaken!! I'm up in Bitterne.....

[johnnytheb26]

Thats right,across from Ocean Village,used to be a pub called "the Canute",it still has a plaque high up on the wall,bearing the legend.Its an estate agents now.

[fletube]

one of the my favorite genesis song

[joadboy]

How f-----g good was that???

Makes me feel like giving up playing!

[musicisalright]

it makes me feel like trying harder! i'm still young, this guy inspires me to practise classical style.

[bleachershane]

Stunning arrangement!

[EdisKrad73]

beautiful.

[arthurmee]

OK, thanks anyway, troubleclef, I'll just have to watch your fingers carefully:). had a look at your Kate Bush with La La Vox later. Absolutely wonderful, great presentation too.

[arthurmee]

Hi again trebleclef. I posted about a year ago. Love this. Do you have this in TAB form by any chance?

[troubleclef]

thanks Arthur. No, I don't write anything down. I find I can just relearn them myself by watching the clips once they're forgotten.

[blindpirate82]

brilliant

[jfreiwald]

DAMN... That was so friggin incredible, nice, no- EXCELLANT job!!

[Topographer]

I come back to your videos again and again. Will you be performing in Europe at any time? You're one of my favourite guitar players.

[gareloch]

Sir, I take my hat off to you. One of my all time favourite Genesis tracks. Great technique, great sound, and no histronics - just like Mr Hackett. A joy to watch.

[Moccij]

NOOOO you missed the last part - the hamond solo!! I was ready to follow you on the keyboards XD great play, I can clearly hear all your emotions and that's just great

[phenixreturns]

It's fantastic!

Their songs are fantastic and you 've done a very good job!

Genesis is very difficult to play without the good chords or tunings.

I'm a a drummer-guitarist fan of GENESIS, members and Phil .

5 stars ;=)

[genyouwin]

Brilliant! Please post your own stuff!

[XweAp0nX]

Forgive me,

I just watched the Genesis version, then I watched this one again... At forst I thought you were just playing Hackett's guitar parts.. NO! You did more! And I think what you did here deserves higher attention, you took the spirit of the WHOLE song and rendered it on ONE instrument and LOST NOTHING.

Also, the technique is astounding, I wish I had the level of concentration it takes to learn the fingerwork, you got it and you do it effortlessly.

My HIGHEST regards.

[troubleclef]

thanks. really appreciate your comments.

[XweAp0nX]

Damn, this is WHY Genesis was my favourite band up until The Lanb Lies Down on Broadway.

Steve Hackett himself couldn't play it any better! Who IS this guy... You got every nuance perfect, and just playing it on the acoustic, it is like the whole BAND playing. A fantastic rendition of my probably my favourite Genesis song.

[twostikks1]

Wow, Tony. Just amazing. It makes me want to practice my ass off!

[gazzo45]

Funny Tony has the opposite effect on me - after watching him I feel like giving up the guitar!!:-)

As the man said, I'd give up my right hand to play like this!

[leofres]

Awesome version. I like it very much. Genesis would be proud of you!

[troubleclef]

thanks

[BevelBob]

I'm sure you're not tired of "All singing, praise him, praise him" and neither should you be.

[monchoman]

Awesome performance. I realise now that I'll never be able to play this song.

[Ottocento80]

Compliments from Italy. BravOOOOOOO

[lapinman]

Great !!! Really as fresh as powerful. I' m impressed. Lapinman !!!!

[troubleclef]

thanks

[41253774]

amazing, i song alone to all your genesis covers, u shud play the full suppers ready

[YoureMagneticInk]

Hmmm. Bet you could do Justin Hayward some justice.

[troubleclef]

haha. nice username there, man. keep as cool as you can.

[YoureMagneticInk]

face piles of trials with smiles.

[churgn3words]

Wonderful. This is a Genesis gem that gets little recognition, even among the die hards. Very well played.

[troubleclef]

thanks. i agree, it is one of my all time favorites for sure

[ChocloManx]

This is one of your best transcriptions, and that's saying a lot.

Thank you.

[UncleSerenity]

Thank you for doing this one, TC.

[troubleclef]

you're welcome

[spikerooney011]

Cleffy, you do bring such sunshine into my life. Your prowess is inspiring. Besos, Spike.

[oliasdoug]

Great job, TC. (Are you the same guy who did the Focus/Jan Akkerman track "Le Clochard"?) This is a bit far-removed from Genesis, but have you ever considered taking on Leslie West's (from Mountain) acoustic masterpieces, "Alisan" and "To My Friend"? I'll bet you could do them justice!

[troubleclef]

thanks. Yes. I *think* that clip is still available. Not sure if i removed it.

Oh, I like Mountain a lot. The two songs I've thought of doing though are "Tired Angels" and of course "Nantucket Sleighride". (I was always more into the Felix songs than the Leslie songs, but then of course they wouldn't be the same without West's truly awesome guitar prowess, now would they?)

I don't know the songs you mention. I only really know a limited amount of their stuff, to be honest.

[xflat99]

yes prosciutto,.,.,.,., very well indeed ,.,.,.,a genesis reunion with peter would be awesome,.,.,,,.this song will live forever

[bezel333]

Dang! I thought I was on the mean streets of NYC! Nice Job.

[89DrAcoNiAn89]

Hola troubleclef! crees poder enviarme la tablatura para guitarra de esta magnífica canción, si es que no hay problema, claro.

[troubleclef]

disculpe, no tengo nada escrito.  gracias

[dalegrana]

Estimado amigo si alguna vez venis a la Argentina las puertas de mi casa estaran abiertas para recibirte y hacer amena tu estadia, tu interpretacion me ha conmovido realmente un gran abrazo y espero que sigamos en contacto, Marcelo.

[dalegrana]

Gracias maestro por esta alegria, saludos desde Argentina.

[troubleclef]

de nada

[fuzznutz18]

Hey Bro, You do all the Genesis pieces a great justice . Your playing and interpretations are phenemonal.Glad you are out there and keep up the great work!

[Prosciutto14]

Great playing!! Too bad the song finished just at the exciting part of it :-(

[troubleclef]

thanks. well, i think it's all pretty exciting but this is just an excerpt of the guitary bits. i quit at the tutti section because i just don't think it would work in this particular instance. or, i'm just lazy.

[Prosciutto14]

I'm very glad you responded to my comment. Just kidding, I like the whole song, a bit underrated Genesis number by the way. I also enjoyed your arrangements of non-Genesis pieces. You're very good, congratulations.

[titties0330take]

良いねぇ～！

[arthurmee]

Beautiful stuff. . . . like the chap who does an acousic guitar arrangement of Seven Stones, you've chosen another little gem hidden away on the early Genesis albums and done it justice. Fantastic.

[troubleclef]

hi, thanks.  i think i may *be* that chap. I have a version of "seven stones" up there. check it out. Is there another? You might also want to check out user "hyperboreal" who does some amazing things with Genesis numbers.

[arthurmee]

Yes, sorry. Indeed you are *that chap*:). I realised my mistake after I'd posted. I will check out "hyperboreal". So, are you going to record a CD? Many thanks.

[miaris]

You play like Steve Hackett himselfe! Brilliant!

[janlumega]

You make your guitar sing

wow

[greenapps]

speechless

[wscott16]

Beautiful! Loved every second..Made my day.

[Trilo]

Absolutely marvellous!

[muuuusic]

"far from the north overcast ranks advance" your awesome

[Baube3]

Incredible !!! It's one of my favorite songs !

[sanderspauls]

Very nicely done, well done. Faultless.

[alegareca]

Hackett and all Genesis would be proud of you man!!! Amazing!!! Great!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[pestechoris]

Nice work are you doing. Continue like this . Greatings

[troubleclef]

thanks

[guyeylon]

wow! of all of this piece, you chose to play my two favorite parts exactly one after the other :D

(the part after "all bent their knees", and the other one after "where they fell")

i love your work, it's amazing

almost comparable to the real deal (and that, i assure you, is one great compliment)

[jopio333]

great please publish these guitar genesis works so we can play this too (or try).

[talos50]

great tone,great phrasing,beautiful.

[styland]

Great stuff. I hope you get to publish these Genesis arrangements one day...

[eddiecurry]

That was great!

[kinglelly]

where do you plays da muzac man u iz awsome. what u doin on you tube.,

[prosoloist]

Very very nice!

[Gehn]

very nice, one of my favourite genesis songs. Keep up the good work!

[mrplant2006]

Fansastic playing and what's more - atmosphere. Really "flows" you can feel the passion.

[agusagaz]

Hey Hackett, watch out!!

[Topographer]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[JohnLennon100]

oh.......almost tears to my eyes.....beautiful!!

thanks!!

[MisterQuebec]

Great!!! More, please! Please play Dusk or Harlequin.

[sober8]

Very nice playing. Check out the clip I posted of some friends playing this song.

[ikhnaton]

Merci!

C'est tout simplement excellent!! :):):):):):)

[mrdodo]

Fantastic...Keep the Good work....(still waiting the Dancing with the moonlight knight) =)

[rpmartino]

Outstanding arragement... captures all the essence and magic of the original. These videos are incredibly inspiring for my own playing. You've got a great skill for distilling these full band pieces into a solo instrument performance.

[zelator72]

thanks to share this wonder with us... :)

you´re a great artist!
