A song by Tony Banks from Genesis' seventh studio album. My arrangement for solo guitar. Standard tuning, half step down. Guitar tab: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/...
Great arrangement (and playing as always). Wish I could play that well! I love the lyrics of that song- 'There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination'.. And you can choose your own meaning for the whole song.
That will be great and I shall be looking forward to it. I hope you do not mind but I took the liberty to post your video of you playing Gryphon's "Crossing The Stiles" on my review of the bands debut album I have published on my blogsite on Wordpress here: leespeaksoutaboutmusic.wordpress.com/2018/07/26/lee-speaks-about-music-93/ I am going to see them live twice again this year the first concert they are playing is in London in September and at that concert they will be releasing their brand new album.
Lee Lucas Not mind at all, I'm actually flattered! I love Gryphon too, lucky you to get to see them near you because I don't think they tour anywhere near I live. Very nice and detailed info on the band and their debut album. I'm going to add now a link to this article in the video description. Cheers!
Inspiration can be so rare and elusive..thanks for posting and providing a gem like this..I’m trying an arrangement in standard tuning capo on 5th fret
Hola Jose Luis! Esta canción no está entre mis favoritas pero aún así el álbum es una obra maestra. Gracias por comentar de nuevo y un saludo desde Tarragona.
hyperboreal Thanks a lot, man, much appreciated! I’ll sure give it a try. Just love this song; an underrated Genesis classic. I’ll let you know how I fare:)
Yeah, I like them a lot. I remember trying to work out a solo version for "Chelsea Monday" some years ago. Lots of memorable songs on their first album!
Acabo de "redescubrirte", porque ya estaba suscrita a tu canal. ¿Querrías que te pasara "Six pieces for guitar" de Anthony Phillips, de la Ed. Josef Weinberger? Me las pasó cuando él ya había dejado Genesis y daba clases en Londres, y sería una manera de retribuir tus aportes aquí. Un sincero abrazo y eres genial. Ah... -¿Sacas de oído o... cómo lo haces? ¡Gracias!
Ostras debió de ser todo un privilegio recibir clases de él! Tengo curiosidad por saber cómo impartía sus clases. Conocías su trayectoria por aquel entonces? Bueno, como te comenté en el video de "Time Table" lo saco de oído intentando incorporar detalles significativos de las diferentes partes. Gracias de nuevo!
Ya he podido subir la tablatura para este arreglo por si estás interesada. Puedes encontrar el enlace arriba en la descripción. Si miras en mi perfil de esa página verás algún arreglo más mío y también las transcripciones que hice de los arreglos de troubleclef (guitarrista "arreglador" de youtube impresionante!).
En el año 1975/76 me volví loca por Genesis y Peter Gabriel. ("Trespass" fue diferente a todo, aunque en esa época había muy buena música para elegir. Sin ir más lejos..., "Pink Floyd" pegaba fuerte con "Dark side of the moon".) Yo era una adolescente que pegó el salto desde "The Beatles", a "Creedence Clearwater Revival", "Deep Purple", hasta... -Bueno, más o menos por ese orden, aunque me dejo a unos cuantos por el camino, pero debo destacar que la música clásica me acunó de bebé, en mi infancia y no me abandonó nunca. Lo de las clases debió ser entre el 1977 y 1981. Ya que por entonces, estuve en Londres en dos ocasiones largas. "Ant" (así lo llamábamos) ya había sacado a la venta "The Geese and the Ghost" (para mí un excelente trabajo) y estaba trabajando con "Camel". "Privilegio", también fue que un conocido me lo presentó y pude estudiar unos meses con él de una manera bastante seria y a la vez informal en su casa. Yo estaba súper pirada, principalmente por sus maneras con su guitarra de 12 cuerdas y con los "Open Chords" de la banda.* *(Aunque con una Les Paul, "a pelo", al tipo no se le daban nada mal las cosas.) Y aunque parezca mentira, un día me dijo que ambos debíamos ir más al Conservatorio. Y si bien no sé si fue una manera elegante de que me apartase, (lo dudo) le hice caso. Fue un placer exquisito. También vi cómo se mezclaba y se hacía un disco, los efectos, las pistas y muchas cosas más. No te aburro más con "mi biografía" y quizá en otra ocasión mediante uno de tus "clips" te comentaré más. Muchas gracias. *(Ahora mismo -o más tarde-, debo seguir escribiéndote porqué con tu cover de "Entangled" tengo algunas dudas.)
No encuentro las transcripciones. (Creo que ya llevo muchas horas despierta.) ¿Serías tan amable de responderme con un "link" directo? *Con "troubleclef" he pasado muy buenos momentos. Muchas gracias.
Bored of the life in the city of gold He'd left and let nobody know. Gone were the towers he had known from a child, Alone with the dream of a life He traveled the wide open road, The blinkered arcade, In search of another to share in his life. Nowhere. Everyone looked so strange to him. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept as they led him away to a cage Beast that can talk, read the sign. The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame And questioned his story again. But soon they grew bored of their prey Beast that can talk? More like a freak or publicity stunt. Oh no They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out. He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out: There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold. Let me take you there, show you a living story Let me show you others such as me Why did I ever leave? They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept. And so we set out with the best and his horns And his crazy description of home. After many days journey we came to a peak Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out. We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all, But the beast was gone and a voice was heard: They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance Hello friend, welcome home

Great cover 👍

I would love to watch it once you finish it. Thanks!
Sei senza limiti, hyper!... 🙂
Muy bueno !
Cool! 😁👍
Genious
I see that this video is not so old, because it is from 2018. And playing these songs, really songs, I see that youth will really change the mute!
Excelente versión de una bella y clásica melodía. Me encanto el sonido del puente intermedio. Y como siempre estas en magnifica forma. Saludos
Hola Jose Luis! Esta canción no está entre mis favoritas pero aún así el álbum es una obra maestra. Gracias por comentar de nuevo y un saludo desde Tarragona.
Gracias saludos desde Guadalajara, Mex.

Great

Impressive.

So glad you understand the difficulty of it. Cheers!

Al final subiste la tablatura de Starless?
wasoto No, esa no la tengo.
I'd like you to play Cuckoo Cocoon
Your sound is beautiful
Do you like Marillion? Another really cool band. Maybe try a a cover of Garden Party or A script for a Jesters Tear. That would be cool.
Yeah, I like them a lot. I remember trying to work out a solo version for "Chelsea Monday" some years ago. Lots of memorable songs on their first album!
How are you doing this?🙏

Looks like someone went down to the crossroads .........
At the end of the first verses, it should rather stay in major instead of one minor chord as represented here.
Bored of the life in the city of gold
He'd left and let nobody know.
Gone were the towers he had known from a child,
Alone with the dream of a life
He traveled the wide open road,
The blinkered arcade,
In search of another to share in his life.
Nowhere.
Everyone looked so strange to him.
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence.
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept as they led him away to a cage
Beast that can talk, read the sign.
The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
And questioned his story again.
But soon they grew bored of their prey
Beast that can talk?
More like a freak or publicity stunt.
Oh no
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence.
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out.
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out:
There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold.
Let me take you there, show you a living story
Let me show you others such as me
Why did I ever leave?
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept.
And so we set out with the best and his horns
And his crazy description of home.
After many days journey we came to a peak
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out.
We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all,
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard:
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance
Hello friend, welcome home
Tabs pls or chords pls m8
Soon, I'll post the tab on the video description once I have the link.
It took longer than I thought but finally it's available here: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/genesis/a_trick_of_the_tail_tabs_2417939
😂
I’m sure that playing this is likely incredibly satisfying, and there are some decent parts. But overall? Nope, sorry.
Great performance!!
Thank you, Oscar!
