[rindulus]

excellent I followed the tutorial now I can impress my friends at parties (especially girls funnily enough) well done .

[annabatarowicz]

Great version

[geonuine]

Great job picking! Never mind the few brain dead comments.

[MrSkeff]

also i think youve great diction in your singing!

[MrSkeff]

expert job!

[MyBadzs]

That's freakin' awesome my man! Thank you for sharing this. Love your arrangement!

[MrJoreilly12]

Warren, this is great. I watch this regularly but still not able to play it like you. Your tutorial is great too but I will bow to your skills.....

[MrMrEFE]

You play like heaven and have a wonderful voice. What else could anybody ask?

[chrischapman67]

do u know who wrote the guitar parts of the song in the original?? its quality!!

[fatchuk812]

Well that was just fantastic.

[joeypalooza]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[RollingRizla]

damn good! man! this is my favorite song of Peter Gabriel

[stinger139]

Very nice job! 

[jonnyshockwave]

Hi Warren, Thank-You for the tuitional! I've posted a version on here under jonnyshockwave. Great song!

[phildwstuff]

Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing that. Your voice and style reminded me of Bruce Cockburn for some reason.

[PmpknEtr]

Of all the versions I could find, the arrangement on this one is, not only the nicest, but the most rhythmically faithful!

I'd also be interested in your finger-picking pattern! Pleasepleaseplease! ;)

[Tchutney]

Great arrangement, nice left hand!

[saffronboots]

@Tchutney Thanks!

[malone1230]

great job

[saffronboots]

@malone1230 Thank you.

[moroccanroller]

Fantastic job! Beautiful guitar and singing. What an amazing song and words, eh?

[saffronboots]

@moroccanroller I really like this tune although I think I got some of the words wrong...

[73magpies]

Very Canadianized



[saffronboots]

@73magpies Extra maple syrup!

[ppauly]

very americanized

[saffronboots]

@ppauly I'm Canadian. You know - colonial...

[TheManxFella]

Not a regular visitor to You Tube but I've seen this video and another one of yours. The other being a cover of Brant and Larry's "I Don't Mind Mind At All". I'm not entirely sure what ppauly meant by "very americanized" given that (a), it isn't, and (b), Brent and Larry were both American anyway! I'm Manx/British so apologies if I should already know of you, but do you just keep to You Tube or do you have a recording contract? Cheers, Andrew.

[saffronboots]

@TheManxFella I just play for shits and giggles. Nobody special.

[GMcarsMAN]

@ppauly What do you mean by 'americanized'?

[digitalis7]

Nice guitar!

[saffronboots]

@digitalis7 The instrument or the playing?

[digitalis7]

@digitalis7 The guitar playing naturally. Great arrangement. Great sound.

[saffronboots]

@digitalis7 Thanks.

[theapocilip]

Very very nice. Wish I could do that.

[saffronboots]

@theapocilip Practice.

[saffronboots]

@theapocilip Practice.

[robertbhlr]

Very Nicely done!!!!

I've been trying to find a reasonably accurate tab forever, any tips?

[media88shuttle]

Awesome.

[msbilliejos]

Love your cover....going to check out the tutorial...thanks :)

[Kridremarc]

Great, any info about the finger picking ?

[mannekinjohn]

It could be Thom Yorke playing Solsbury Hill here.. Ha....

Very good version, well done man.

[saffronboots]

@mannekinjohn Another Radiohead reference. Is it the slanty eyes?

[doctormozo]

Excellent! Wish I could play like that. Loved the finger picking parts.

[DanBennetto]

Very very impressive!

[MrChrisFloyd1]

Excellent work. You have great taste in cover material and you do it well. Best wishes.

[coltonexley]

why are sexy bald men with goatees always so damn good at guitar?

[saffronboots]

@coltonexley Because of a lack of need for hair product application, we have the extra time to practice...

[rstretch100]

Very nice interpretation... would have loved to seen your right hand picking though.

[saffronboots]

@rstretch100 Honestly there's not much to see. My right doesn't move enough to pick out the finger/string relationship. However, have a look at the tutorial video - you might pick up some hints there.

[Hockeyplaya21921]

great job dude

[jfdomega]

very nice saffronboots makes me want to learn how to play it!........ well played sounds great!

[saffronboots]

@jfdomega Just do it!

[gsf67]

What a cool version, has anybody told you that you have long spindly fingers, that make playing this song look so easy.

[saffronboots]

Respond to this video...

[piguitar1]

Great version with excellent playing

[saffronboots]

@piguitar1 Glad you liked it.

[SarahGemini11]

That was beautiful. Thank you.

[saffronboots]

@SarahGemini11 Thanks Sarah.

[LisaCarrell]

Oh thank you so much for this excellent tutorial! My best friend and guitar partner died in his sleep this week. We were planning on working this song up when he got back from a business trip, and I knew it had to be the song I did for his memorial (which will be his friends gathering to play and sing and share stories) Thank you for helping me do this song, that was so special to us both, for him. I can't tell you how much it means to me.

[saffronboots]

@LisaCarrell You're welcome Lisa. So sorry to hear about your loss.

[deltaechoromeo515]

That's just downright amazing man.

[saffronboots]

@deltaechoromeo515 I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Aberinkulas]

What a marvelous cover. Cheers from Argentina mate, that was an inspiration!

[saffronboots]

Muchos gracias.

[seeenrulez]

Really nice work, man! This song makes me want an acoustic

[saffronboots]

Acoustic rulez. ;)

[whitto69]

You have just made my day!

I have been trying to find an arrangement for this song for ages, thanks mate.

Shame there's no tab anywhere similar and as good as this.

10/10 from me.

Well done. :)

[saffronboots]

Have a look through the tutorial if you're unsure of the chords I use.  Cheers.

[robertjameswade]

That's a nice piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[jessisastoner]

You've got the best guitar playing version of this song on youtube that I've seen!

Matt Calder has a good one, but you do the main riff way cooler and cleaner!

[tyboy63]

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!

Nice work man!

[saffronboots]

Thanks tyboy.

[DrewFaron]

Beautiful job! Keep up the good work!

[saffronboots]

Thanks. I'll try.

[OldSteamer]

you dont deserve that song dude

[saffronboots]

Ha ha! Is something lost in translation here? "Deservin's got nothin' to do with it... boy."

[OldSteamer]

@saffronboots

there are people who will understand that, if you dont have an open mind you dont understand it, if you have you will.

[saffronboots]

Circular argument.

You started off by saying that I'm somehow unworthy of performing this song...

You don't comment on the playing, the singing, the arrangement, video quality, etc. You've said nothing to either encourage or help me improve the performance, in your eyes.

I hadn't seen or heard a single solo guitar version of this song that tried to capture the nuances of melody. I enjoyed the challenge. Obviously you didn't. Keep it at that, and lose the personal attack.

[MaxRunham]

@OldSteamer

sorry, but if you had an open mind, you'd accept that this guy enjoys music and has just as much a right as anyone to play this...

[OldSteamer]

@MaxRunham

sry man but i just didnt like him,thats all.

[MaxRunham]

yeahhh, that's cool. constructive critisism is always welcome from most musicians, but just saying that he doesn't deserve the song isn't right. but yeah, whatever haha, shouldn't be something we get caught up about, just wanted to say what i said. take care man x

[jpgr1234]

thanks for the lesson.i thought that was good enough,but to scroll the chord voicings at the end was pure genius.much appreciated,cant wait to get started

[sellig]

merci à toi ! bravo

[saffronboots]

De rien. Merci.

[kpettway1]

This is seriously awesome.

[saffronboots]

Glad you liked it.

[LexxRash]

I love it man. Id been trying to learn it from this video for ages. Guide made things a lot easier :) only 16 but im getting the hang of it. And the ending is brilliant. Keep it up

[saffronboots]

Keep practicing, and don't forget to post.

[Spauchi]

just Great!!!

As soon as i find time i will try your tutorial...

REally Great...my favourite tune of Peter Gabriel...really great!

[saffronboots]

Thanks Spauchi.

[soluzioneshoum]

SEI IL MIGLIORE..... hello from italy

[saffronboots]

Hi!

[dorodini]

Do you know of a tab for this song thats right? I found one but it doesnt seem right to me. Great song nice job.

[saffronboots]

I don't know of a tab BUT I have just posted a video tutorial that may help.

[jepower]

Hi Warren,

I have to learn this song for a new band and I usually employ Youtube to help. I recognized your name immediately. I had a small trio in Gander in the early 90s with Jim Griffiths and Wayne St. Onge. Anyway, we shared the stage a few times. Sounds great!

Jeff Scott

Saint John NB

[saffronboots]

Hi Jeff, great to hear from you. I remember a few bands kicking around especially on Gander Day! What was the name?

[trivalentlogic]

great song and natural playing!!

[saffronboots]

Thanks!

[numbskull675]

Awesome cover of a brilliant song beautifully played! If I could learn to play this just half as good as you I would die a happy man, have you any news on the promised video tutorial? Thanks.

[saffronboots]

Now that we're through the holidays I believe I can take the time to do it. If I don't have it out by the end of the month, grab the torches and pitchforks...

Very Nice ! The best 1 guitar version I've seen of this great song.

[saffronboots]

Thank you sir.

[lucasdoc7]

[lik3s2spoog3]

compared to his guitar playing... he seems like an amature.but good none the less.

[souswee]

SWEEEET !!!  I always think music is best stripped down to 1 acoustic guitar and this is a fine example. Thank You Warren

[Elvislady77]

Hey man, your playing is awesome! Please, put up a tutorial for the song, as there is nothing useful out there! Please! Think a lot of people would appreciate it.

cheers from Germany

[saffronboots]

You know, now that I have the time, I might have to do that.

[heyimjoe]

Great video man, this sort of stuff is the reason I want to learn guitar, cheers for inspiring me!

[paulmercy]

Thanks for showing the left hand so clearly. I want to learn this and I'm crap at reading tabs. Great song & great playing!

[fatcatkaya]

Will or do you share the tab to this perfomance and if so where? It made my day to see how sweetly it was played. Bravo! How about a slowed down lesson?

Thank You so very much,

Joel from Baltimore

[Markopolo57]

Very, very cool. I'm trying to learn to play the song, and you've got it just nailed. Now if I can only play it like you've showed us all how....Thanks, man.

Bharm420 - DAE, mostly, then Fsharpminor.

[bharm420]

man im jealous. ive looked everwhere online to try to learn this song. the best tab i could find is shitty an complicated. can you let me know the chord progression? i cant figure it out by watching. i'd rele appreciate it.

[ed1ss]

GREAT PERFORMANCE THOUGH, REAL TALENT.

[totodn10]
