  • This is a beautiful ballad by ELPs Greg Lake. The lyrics are rather open for interpretation. This is one of those bucket-list tunes I've wanted to learn for 40 years. Finally got to it with the help of the Covid quarantine and a new Breedlove Pursuit Concert 12 string.

    Best cover of this very difficult song I've ever heard. And true to form on a 12 string!

    Very good Johnny.. funny because I was doing the same thing with this song during covid. i remember watching this live version thinking, Greg is chewing gum and effortlessly just picking this like nobody's business. once you get the tuning down. it is a great song to play. Your vocals are pitch on. good job

    Great job. You’ve got a great voice for this song. It’s always hard to me to do arpeggios and to not screw up the singing. This is one of the best if not the best cover of this song I’ve heard thus far. Thanks for the post. I’ve just started learning it. Thanks, I saw ELP in the Capital Theater, a small venue in Salt Lake City in the 90’s and it was amazing to see them all together one last time before Emerson and Lake passed. Their music is an Iconic treasure.

    • @zing1music

      Thanks for the kind words Robert. Yes, 12 string arpeggiation is especially difficult with the closer spacing of strings. I've gotten a little better with arpeggios since acquiring the 12 string. Keep at it, the singing will come.

    I just viewed this again and realized... It's just you singing and the guitar. I never realized before how much this song is just Greg and his guitar for the most part. It works wonderfully as just a solo without Keith and Carl. Again, very well done.

    This is great, very well done. I've always loved the song, though the lyric of "someone get me a ladder" is beyond me....

    • @zing1music
      @zing1music  4 роки тому +7

      Thanks, clever songwriting often contain ambiguous lyrics. American Pie, Blackbird, American Woman and Jackson Browne's Rosie are a few great examples. I believe this tune is about the life of a Rock Star. It's the guitar or rush of performing that turns him on. I think the ladder reference is that it can all be overwhelming and he needs a way out.

    Is there any way that a 6-string chord voicing version could sound anywhere near as good as this cover? Also, can you share what open tuning you used to capture the ELP/Lake chord voicings so accurately?

    • @zing1music
      @zing1music  3 роки тому +1

      The low E string pair is tuned down to D. The other strings are in standard tuning.
      DigiTech makes a 12 string emulator called Mosiac. Other than that you could try a chorus or phase shift pedal.

      Thanks, arpeggiation is kind of tough on a 12 string. I normally play finger style on acoustic and it took some time and discipline to play it smoothly.
