Here is a quick demo of the Lamb Lies Down piano technique - sorry about the mistakes and the out of tune piano!

  • Brilliant Doug - made me smile when you put the two hands together - so that's how he did it! Saw the band at Shepherds Bush 2009 - great show as ever - somehow you capture the joy and fun of playing this music.

  • Thanks! Just getting to grips with some new stuff, but if people are interested I might make a short video about 'Cinema Show' as I'm working on it at the moment...

  • Doug is there anyway you can mention the rest of the rt handed chords and the lt hand fifths?? During that fast ascending (and descending) arpeggio, it is impossible to figure out what your hands are doing??? Much obliged!!

  • Hi, to be honest it's virtually all the same - the right hand is playing e minor, and the left hand variations on E flat minor! Hope this helps!

  • Awesome! Simply awesome! I must have waited all my life for this moment!!! Now I can attempt to learn this piece!!

  • Good luck - the principal is the same for the whole intro, it's just a matter of trial and error to find the right chords in each case.

  • that's so cool! never realized how straight foward this riff was! Great post!

  • @dougmelbourne Very interesting, I'll have to try this out sometime. I hope you do your video on "Cinema Show" and one for "Firth Of Fifth". Tony also has a cross-hand section on "Robbery Assault & Battery" so maybe you'd like the challenge of demonstrating that as well.

  • Yeah brilliant !! ... the Tony Banks Keyboard stuff is some of the most technically demanding in the world of rock music - both working it out and playing it must have taken a lot of work and you have done an excellent job in both of those respects!

  • Thank you for this and your other wonderful videos showing Tony's technique. You are a great teacher and also you play the Genesis parts excellently, with both passion and precision.

  • Brilliant - I thought the sound was done with an echo effect - now I know better!

  • This video helped me appreciate Tony Bank's ability even more.

    

  • Great! Thanks for Sharing!!

  • well done mate, thanks for showing, cheers.

  • Good work! Although I'd have respected Tony Banks more if he'd worn a slipperman costume whilst playing it live :)

  • tune your piano!
