After the Ordeal - Genesis

[@walacenogueiraobeid859]

Man, what a work to emulate piano on a acoustic guitar! Props to you! Super!

[@claudecalade7151]

Super ! I could quite believe Steve is playing... Give us more Genesis guitar covers !

[@laurasanders6891]

That was so cool, love the bending of the strings and classical guitar stuff to start with! Keep going with the Genesis melodies!😊

[@hyperboreal]

Thanks again, Laura!

[@johnkk7863]

Amazing job looks highly complex but then Mr Hackett is a genius.

[@montecarlo9952]

Sei stato formidabile. Era un pezzo difficilissimo!

[@JasonThorneMagicLAMP]

Human hands at their best. Well done mate.

[@piewoman4]

Just found this - SO beautiful on nylon string! Fun to watch how it's played on electric in second part.

[@gsuderman]

What a gift finding YT channel today. Great playing! Shocked to find your video collection includes so much Prog that I also listen to. Incredible.

[@hyperboreal]

Thank you very much.

[@LeeLucas]

The electric was quite a surprise and you certainly had this fabulous Genesis piece nailed. Excellent stuff and very well enjoyed the top job.

[@ashersaipe]

Wow this is beautiful. To be honest, After The Ordeal was one of my less favourite songs on Selling England By The Pound, but after hearing your cover, I have a greater understanding of the beauty of this piece. Great cover!

[@GreatjayQ]

This might sound cheesy, but this music made me feel like i was flying above the clouds. Awesome guitar playing!

[@philB666]

I can't stop watching your video... I want to learn it this way too!

[@MAFussell]

Nice to hear this fleshed out as a guitar piece. As great a player as Hackett is, you took the whole thing and arranged it wonderfully for just guitar. Excellent!

[@troubleclef]

great rendition, Alex. The opening section is obviously quite difficult. You pulled it off admirably. bravo once again.

[@guyeylon]

A great track from my all-time favorite album. Thanks a lot!! :)

[@mendonca.marcos]

Man, I love your channel. Your covers and arrangements are amazing. Congratulations!! Sometimes, I sleep listening to your songs

[@frantisekrebec3241]

Pure awesomeness!

[@psuengineer84]

The most intriguing and beautiful song on the record.

[@hyperboreal]

@jimguitarfan Thanks Jim. Yes, the shirt is from their SEBTP tour gig in Madrid. In fact I'd like to see them now for their new tour since I missed their first Lamb. Hope they come to Spain this time!

[@uckbee]

The most underrated thing on "Selling England;" glad you included it - nice take!

[@marxnutz]

I love the "The Musical Box" t-shirt you're wearing! And a nice rendition of a favorite instrumental from SEBTP, thanks!

[@WinstonGuitar]

very beautiful - quite the labor of love. You did great.

[@andrewforrest108]

delightful...makes you realise how subtle steve hackett is too! thank you!

[@lzcenti1]

Bravissimo bellissimo arrangiamento

[@KingXanadu]

Wow that was beautiful. I love all your Genesis covers

[@hyperboreal]

@chrisofnottingham Absolutely, he's the master period. Thanks for watching.

[@damanyou]

FANTASTIC! RESPECT for this work!

[@jennie5269]

Excellent. Brilliant backing part for end piece.

[@giovannisquadrito7344]

Bravissimo!!!! Sei grande.

[@therehastobeme]

Very impressive , you do great on both acoustic and electric sections of this song

[@EixtremeDrummer]

Cuando uno se propone algo tan bonito y lo consigue, hay que felicitarlo. Un gran trabajo.

[@hyperboreal]

Muchas gracias extremadrummer!

[@in2gadgets]

Wonderful. Really lovely. I enjoyed this so much..

[@sayfearis]

Holy Sh*t, that was the most impressive thing I've ever seen!!!

[@Picaresque19]

Amazing rendition! You managed to capture many of the subtle details of the song, so much better than all other covers I've seen so far! :) Great work!

[@alegareca]

Excelente version!!!! and very nice T-Shirt too!!! Saludos desde Argentina!

[@makaroization]

el mejor cover en KZbin de After the Ordeal por lejos. Gran trabajo!

[@hillshepherd9444]

Excellent/Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@igenesisproject]

That's just lovely. One of my all time favorites. We might have to add this to our queue!

[@alejandrorobles9796]

Esto aprendiendo muchas canciones con tus vídeos que no conseguía sacarlas del todo amigo! Muchas gracias por tus vídeos! Me encanta Genesis :D

[@lilacandgooseberries6653]

Maravilloso. Como el mismísimo Steve. Bravo.

[@centralscrutinizer9]

excellent interpretation Alex looked like a few killer chord shapes going on in that

[@antoniomele422]

Excellent! I'm very keen of Genesis song. Could you send me the tab of this song,please?

[@cakemartyr5794]

Lovely version. Well done. Wish I could play that well.

[@josefranciscoromangutierre3365]

¡Impresionante! ¡Bellísimo! Felicidades...

[@johnnythelowery]

Just added this to my playlist for the after party for my Fran Dunnery house Concert! Sure he'll like it.

[@GalacticCowboy]

Frankie D!! Nice one, hope he enjoyed it.

[@jimguitarfan]

Excellent version. Looked like some bone-crunching fretboard work on the acoustic part :o) By the way, is that the T-shirt for the band Musical Box ? Saw them play TLLDOB in its entirety with all the original costumes and props.....mind-blowingly good, they were ! Great post. Cheers, Jim

[@oliverecords8524]

Receiving congratulations from Troubleclef is some sort of undreamt grail for me :) Great rendition Christos, the multi-tracking is nice too.

[@music2heart4u]

Very nice like how you switched to solo.

[@tomful74]

Sempre più bravo! Every track sounds better, I really appreciated the two versions acustic and electic...When I'll find free a moment, I'll start studying. Thank you!

[@gobinde]

Fantastico 🎉

[@hyperboreal]

@pleatedskirt18 Hope he likes it. I'm also looking forward to see Steve when he comes to my country.

[@pinamar13]

Hola Xavier !! siemrpe es un gran placer escuchar y admirar tu trabajo! un saludo afectuoso desde aca!!

[@angelserrano3655]

¡Que maravilla! Muchas gracias. Suscrito.

[@hyperboreal]

@troubleclef Sure, there are some tricky classical arpeggios going on on that part. Similar to the ones you can find in many classical guitar pieces from the 18th century (e.g. Giuliani's Grand overture). Thanks for stopping by Tony!

[@hyperboreal]

@Picaresque19 Thanks a lot Picaresque! I tweaked that arrangement a bit but praise goes to Christos. By the way, your cover of "The Colony of the Slippermen" is one the most original I've seen on YT. Keep rocking!

[@pleatedskirt18]

I'm going to have to show this to my son. Just starting to learn the guitar and we just missed seeing Steve Hackett a few weeks ago.

[@megattack2424]

What became of your son? You’re probably never gonna see this comment..

[@pleatedskirt18]

@@megattack2424 Ahah! I have seen it... thanks for asking, but he abandoned the guitar in favour of the [very Jethro Tull and Peter Gabriel] flute as well as rowing, which he became rather good at. Take care.

[@megattack2424]

@@pleatedskirt18 amazing, thanks for replying! :-) I wish your son all the best! Mine picked up the E-Guitar a years ago, let’s see how it ends

[@pleatedskirt18]

@@megattack2424 As far as I'm concerned any musical instrument is worth learning/playing. One of our son's friends from primary school went down the double bass route and has now graduated from the Royal College of Music and is playing for one of the well known orchestras.Our son followed a science route and works for one of the big Pharma companies on tumour analysis. I hope your son enjoys his time and remembers that acoustic is well worth playing too!

[@snacklofter]

Excellent.Thanks for sharing.

[@hillshepherd9444]

This was extremely impressive !!!!!!!!!!! If you can do Steve Hacket , Buddy You're REAL GOOD !!!

[@christospatras2371]

Just a little funny that a friend of mine just informed me , more than 5 years after your recording about the video ! It was one of my first fingerstyle arrangements 10 years ago to powertabs site and it was rather obscure there ! Flattered for your choice , too kind to mention my (nick)name also , you see on that period we felt like an outcast , violating the copyright of publishing companies even for just free arrangements !

[@hyperboreal]

Oh man, have I been waiting for your response to this. This one was maybe the only musical notation you could find for this piece back then. You must had been the only guy publishing prog repertoire for solo guitar back then at that site (and the internet!). I remember you also had "Lady of the Dancing Water" for solo which inspired me to record my video (even if it's not solo) and stuff from Yes (Starship Tropper?) Also, just rightly after I posted the 2nd movement of the Ravel piano concerto I realized you had posted your own solo arrangement to that which made me realize how similar our musical tastes were. So sad to find that the site was nuked after a short while just when I was expecting more of your amazing altruistic contributions. It would be great to know about your whereabouts and current activities, Christos! Thanks for your inspiration.

[@christospatras2371]

I must admit that all the credits on the electrical solo part ... return completely to you with your inspired decision to make a duet with yourself ! Keep on this very nice job you are making , I'll certainly find some time to have a look on your other recordings as well. I've seen so many different tab sites in the past that had for a while the tabs that we were uploading on powertabs (certainly without any permission at all) but in nowadays most of them are not active anymore (the unspeakable claim for the copyright violation that I mentioned above !) I ' ve actually made more than 60 arrangements (from Randy Newman to Steely Dan , Frank Zappa Marvin Gaye , Philip Glass or Ennio Morricone plus a few uncommon names like Prefab Sprout , Wim Mertens and Nicola Piovani) and I certainly continue preparing new ones whenever I find a little time and a proper song to blow my mind ! I have revised some of them lately for a private guitar site but there was not any interest at all for such "amateur" stuff (though I can claim of a ...dozen years of classical guitar education!) so I stopped there and I was really thinking of uploading them here some certain time ! You can find some great guitarists with excellent guitar solo arrangements here (e.g. Guido Mancino) but so rarely they share their own arrangements anymore . Have a nice time !

[@hyperboreal]

What a shame you couldn't find people interested in your arrangements at that site, they don't know what they're missing. It would be great though if you could share some of them here somehow, I guess they will have more public exposure on KZbin than at any of those sites. As for my arrangements I try to share the notation for them whenever I can and find the time to write them down (just tab though). You can find their interpretations at the proper section on my channel. I still have some more that I haven't recorded yet. Let me reccomend you, in case you don't know yet, this channel: kzbin.info He's been a fantastic source of inspiration for arranging and generally playing guitar for many years. He has an incredibly smart approach to the pieces, very resourceful subtle playing and is amazingly rich harmonically. Hope to hear more from you soon!

[@vibefrequencyable]

christos patras ..any chance i could get the tabs??? Is it a similar arrangement?

[@echored2259]

I also would like to get the tab. I am doing a set of Hackett music and would love to add this. Please let me know.

[@SucaMr]

Fabulous!

[@wuthering2]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angelsanabriateran7523]

Genial!!! La transcripción está buenísima!! La interpretación no tanto. Se nota que tienes el nivel como para corregirlo si le dedicas el tiempo necesario.
