[la196]

Hey Desi, would you happen to know how to play that little run that leads into the solo?

[mumix01]

Thank very much.

[gagefixer]

treetop flyer !

[IwontConform]

very nicely executed

[nitoydec]

Excellent! Very very helpful! Thanks!

[buzz60016]

Bless you for taking the time to make this excellent instructional video. Thank you for taking the time to show the chords, so even I can understand..

[0209KMK58]

I really appreciate your unselfish sharing of knowledge with this song. Greg Lake should pay you for this lesson, knowing that when guitarists play and perform his music, it will be as the composer had intended and people won't make a mess of it.

[jurgen9943]

very good



[banzaimotorcross]

You break it down very well. THANKS. I had no clue when i click on your vid.. now hear the notes ring out lot clearer and some what cleaner :).. GREAT SONG FROM AN AWESOME GROUP I SAW IN late 70's early 80's.. And one i'll never forget.. Thank you

[1960jack]

thanks dude for showing knuckleheads like me how to play this song correctly, I really love this song

[doodahtube]

Very helpful. I had been playing something passable for this song but this got me much closer. Thanks.

[gaviddilmour]

so very helpful, thanks a bunch

[imagfan]

Desi, thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful. Do you have a part 2 for this song?

[techwest77]

excellent... all these years later!

[z0t1]

unbelievable 

[Olabec1]

really helpful thanks. The only other thing I would have really liked to have seen is the fast ascending run leading up to the electric guitar solo. Every demo I have seen sidesteps this - too hard?

[zodcolville]

Excellent Work! Thank you very much for posting this.

[TheElcio63]

[matthelix]

Incredible Job on the tutorial! The only question I have is about the reoccurring riff you said was on G and bend down. I thought it was on F#, but it does sound good on your guitar. Anyway thanks again!

I`ve seen many demonstrations of this song but this is the best so far. Everything sounds correct. Good job. I too have been playing it wrong for years....

[Garyintune]

Great lesson! I've been playing it wrong for years.

[tonesdeaf]

brilliant

i looked at tab - sort of an outline of the song, but so much was wrong, i only had to look at greg lake playing it to see that !!

it sounds sooo right the way you do it !

going to try to learn it properly now........

[eleve53]

Excellent tutorial! I know nothing, and I understand your teachings. Me being able to execute though, is another story. ;o)

[KingArthursDream]

[latitn]

thanks for the lesson got it down now

[timdoog42]

Very Nicely done Desi. Very nice.

[barakshulman]

This is going to be my new one. I heard it a bunch of times as a bumper song on Coast to Coast am, and it was driving me nuts that I didn't know how to investigate the name of this song, who did it, and where I could find it. Finally, it came on at work, and thankfully, the person I asked looked at me like I was an idiot and said Emerson, Lake, and Palmer! Shit ya!!

[kefrin]

Desi...great teaching and technique. I've been dying for years to learn the riff on the guitar after the last verse that transitions it to the musical section. Any tips?

[GuitarMusicTheoryTab]

My gosh I totally forgot about this song. It was recorded by a student. I'm not familiar with the other parts to it. Sorry.

[babocon]

Thanks for the video...Your video help me enjoy playing guitar...

[loduck]

the best ever !!!! thanks so much......please post more

[wheresjeannine]

Desi I really like your teaching style. You have a wonderul clear voice and it is not to bad following you. With a small bit of practice I am kind of doing the lead on Amy and am just about 100% on From The Begining - thanks - do more -  wheresjeannine
