@Kanoppo I like it on both classical and steel-string instruments. I think they each have their own pluses and minuses. I recorded my version on a steel-string Ovation...you can see it on my channel.

@Kanoppo I like it both on classical and steel string instruments. In,fact there is a whole school of classical players that play and write specifically for steel-string instruments. I recorded my rendition of "Horizons" with an Ovation steel-string guitar, but I was basically playing the album version. I like it both on classical and steel string instruments.

@garbeaj your are right. i had only listened to the live version, in which steve plays it with an spanish guitar, and it's sounds much better

@Kanoppo The original recording on the Foxtrot album was done on a Martin steel-string guitar. Though this is a classical Bach-inspired piece, the original recording was actually done on a steel string guitar...

All of those that put "Steve Hackett Cover" on their recordings are unfortunatley wrong. Steve Hackett is the guitarist for Genesis. It's not a cover. A cover means a different band/person did it. Only one person to my knowledge has ever done this piece, and that is Steve Hackett. Genesis is in my tags though.

Thank you! The guitar itself was a gift, but the retail value was $1800. I really should start posting again...

Well I had used the tuner on the guitar itself, which I had always found to be quite accurate, but for some reason this piece does seem a bit off. It's probably because this is about the 10th take and I had been cutting corners... Guess I need to take my time from now on. But I would not mind reposting it at all!
