Watcher of the Skies intro Cover

An attempt at playing the intro to Watcher of the Skies by Genesis. The midi keyboard is a CME UF5 and I'm using the free Mellosound VST from Batsounds (with plenty of reverb/delay added for extra goosebumps!
There are several wrong chords in this as I learned it by watching/trying to copy someone else. Google will find you the correct chords if you need them ...

Awesome! Care to share the chords with us plebeians? ;)

@ 1:33, I could hear Phil's hi-hat in my head!

Thanks v much. I've updated the info on this now because there are some wrong chords . There are more accurate versions elsewhere on YT. Also you can Google for the right chords ( I'd put them here but not sure if that violates any policy ..? )

Good luck learning it.. it's a great piece.

thanks, Iearned this by watching your vid!

[GrayhenTor]

Thanks very much Jeff.. Glad it was helpful to you.

I learned it in the same way as you - by watching 'Capacitor76' s version.. so I guess it's your turn to pass it on now :)

I'm sorry to tell you but you're wrong on the chord. I can post you the chord if you like. But nice sound.

Thanks very much matt. As far as I know, the CME controllers don't have any kind of arpeggiator function on them.
