      @@ericbrewerguitar1499 I listened to "selling England by pound" twice yesterday. I don't understand why I'm the only 47 year old guy that I have ever met who can sing along with the entire first seven Genesis albums.I just can't help it man I've been this way for years I'm stuck in the prog rock 70's. Now I think I'm going to go walk off and listen to "in the court of the crimson King(an observation by King crimson)".

    This was amazing, Michael! I heard about Tom’s channel in June, then rewatched everything I missed and has been must watch viewing every few days. I used to think I was a prog junkie growing up on King Crimson, ELP, Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush, etc. but watching that video from Tom made me a Genesis super fan at age 31. Masterful chord work. I give you credit for still posting this considering how much harder it is to figure out by ear than standard jam band stuff.

Carrie Underwood - "Last Name." The back half of the fiddle/guitar solo. That was what made me take note. I was sitting in my mom's car, and I went, "Who the %#^ played that?"

    This was one of my favorite records when I was 15, I was transitioning from the music on the AM radio to what we called album rock. We would actually listen to both sides of the vinyl while looking thru the liner notes. If i remember right, Mike Rutherford wrote the music for two 12 string guitars, he would play it with Steve Hackett playing the higher part. This guy managed to get it all with his 6 string, great video. Thanks for doing this one, now I have to listen to the original for the first time in decades.

    If you're not really familiar with it, "A Trick of the Tail" is an album well worth listening to. I'm a huge Steve Hackett fan, and this is one of my favorite songs. Another fantastic song, featuring arpegiated chords from the same album is "Entangled." When Genesis would perform it live, Steve, Mike and Tony would all be playing 12 string guitars at the beginning of the song.

    What is amazing about this rendition is that the original was played on a piano + 2 (!!!) 12 string guitars... And Tom is nailing it with only 6 strings. I mean, we're talking Banks-Rutherford-Hackett, here.

    Would be cool to see you partner with Rick Beato on one of his "what makes this song great" segments
