Awesome track. Did you know that Brian May was influenced by Steve Hackett's style of guitar playing? I read this in a documentary or interview somewhere. But, I think Brian has got his own way of playing guitar. Anyway, I admire both the guitarists.

[ADYGUERRA1962]

I'm a Hackett's fan and do really respect to May but... this melody makes me remember Eric Clapton style...mmmmm

People keep talking about the Layla riff and I kind of see what they're on about, but I recognise it from Hacketts later instrumental track "Omega Metallicus" which must be where the idea got used instead when these tracks got shelved.

nice track, but... Layla

[CloudFROST]

lol, layla.

[QueenLaSignoraMay]

Is God playing?

yes..

@SPeacock Now it makes total sense why it sounded like that short lived project of his. Thanks for the info.

@vivelavidarocka This song was originally written during the GTR sessions but the two Steves (Hackett and Howe) split up, and GTR folded. Steve Hackett later reworked this song as a solo track - which finally saw the light of day in 2000.

@ajittffcure When May worked with Hackett, he said it made him have to relook at the whole way he was playing guitar. IMHO May is a lovely 'little fill' guitarist, Hackett is a seriously top notch one.

A pastiche of Layla by clapton

[vivelavidarocka]

@robertoocmunicacion No dude. Layla es de cuando Eric toco con Duane Allman en Derek and the Dominos en 1970. Pero no es plagio. Se parece si.

[vivelavidarocka]

Sounds like GTR.
