Reaper

Music by Anthony Phillips from Private Parts & Pieces.

There is no tab or score but you can always watch and try to figure it out. Tuning is Open D (DADF#AD).
However, it's not a faultless or totally accurate cover, and I screwed up the part where Ant strums with the side of his pick :)

I love Ant too.

If I could do 1/4th as well I might have quibble... mostly how a few of the notes were accented. AP did better, but in the studio version he could prob start and stop, 'splice' parts together. - (Hackett in an interview about Metamorpheus said he recorded his gtr in small segments of between 10-30secs long! Very 'humble' of him I thought.)

Do you do any of your own stuff? I'd like to hear some.

Thank you, I'd like to but don't have any stuff of my own.

Probably with that method one could record the perfect "Reaper".

what kind of guitar is this??? the sound is so distinct!

@vidgamer77

It's the same 12-string that I've been using... well, since this video actually. I guess it sounds good because it was brand new? It's a Fender DG14S-12 btw. You can find many 12 strings better than this one though ;)

Beautiful rendition of "Reaper!" Did you notice that in Ant's comments on Private Part and Pieces", his 12 string was actually out of tune? It's actually nice to hear it in tune for once! Great job! Wish I could play like that! Completely Jealous!

Thank you! I had no idea of that, does he really say that? I haven't found that comment on the cd booklets.

Two people disliked this?

@hyperboreal  It was on the back of the vinyl cover that I picked up back in the 80's

Well done Sir!

Yeah, I know, I've already ordered my signed copy ;^)

It's great that they're releasing new editions of Ant's work, some of the albums were hard to get if not impossible since were out-of-print. I hope they continue releasing more of the Private Parts & Pieces series. I read that they're also releasing Sides (remastered edition) and Sail the World. 2010 couldn't start better!
