    Peter Gabriel's classic "Solsbury Hill" one of my all-time favorite songs. It's got a lot of beautiful chord changes and guitar work. Definitely tough to play and sing at the same time!
    I do not own this song.

      That sounds good bro. I haven’t been to your new place yet, so let’s make time. I just bought a house in Bally. It’s got an extra room I’m trying to turn into a studio/study. It’s really just the music room for now. I’ll hit you up tho.. maybe we can get together here or over ur spot.

    Bloody hell, man. You SMASHED this!
    I bought my first 12 string in about 1964, learned from the Pete Seeger 12 string guitar instruction record and book.
    I have a cheapo Guild, a fab Seagull Walnut Isyst and a very old Seagull S12 Cedar.
    King of guitars!

    • @ia5662
      @ia5662  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for appreciating that! It's very tough, I definitely don't always get it right with each pluck, but I do my best to keep it accurate. My fingerpicking could be a lot better - I suck at Travis picking

      Thanks, it's one of my favorite songs to play live, but it is murder on the fingers doing it on a 6 string, let alone a 12! Thank you for noticing the difficulty, I usually switch to a pick at the end of the song, so that relief is always welcome lol

    what do you think? Nice cover !!!

    • @ia5662
      @ia5662  2 роки тому

      It sure sounds like one and Dominic Miller (Sting's guitarist) went out and got a Taylor 12-string just for Solsbury Hill (for the Sting/Peter Gabriel Tour) , but I've seen a live show from the 70s where it's just a 6 string. Sure sounds like a 12 in the studio though.

    • @ia5662
      @ia5662  6 років тому +2

      Honestly, the guitar is just so bright and the camera so compressed, the bass doesn't come through at all. Not to mention Tony Levin's bassline stands alone, if you know anyone who can play like him, let me know so we can do a duo lol this is simply and solely the guitar.

    • @davidybarra7560

      I've got a Fender 12string so i empathize with you its hard enough to play then with a capo, it's that much tougher. But i just realized when you get to the Outro part you have to strum so it wouldn't work well if you did use a thumb pick...I listen to this version over & over...keep the songs coming brother, great job!
