[@winstongoodman3244]

Just graduated from high school in 72. This song highlighted a transition in my life. They dont make music like this anymore.

[@Peacheslaroo]

Ur right! Such a good groove

[@LA-zc9rg]

No they don’t!!!!

[@pangeaproxima3681]

What transition? And yes, we have Justin Bieber nowadays.

[@TS-Music-57]

Hey there, I wasn't far behind you as my class was '75. But I agree with you with regards to what kind of music is written now.

[@gregfuller9050]

Not sure I’m ever gonna complete that transition

[@rohmer50]

This is the way all lessons should be done. The chord diagrams and tabs are a huge help. Well done and thanks.

[@markmazzy5667]

Wow…. Incredible lesson very manageable tune… great explanation and tab! Thank you so much for these killer lessons of some of the most iconic tunes in music.

[@markchristman1076]

This is one of the great acoustic songs ever, never tire of it.

[@OFLHLGZ28]

I am in awe of anyone that can place this as good as Greg Lake. Just awesome….perfect!

[@johntucci8826]

It's tough you need a quality guitar, but this is one song I always wanted to learn and was psyched when I did

[@josephhaynessr.5099]

In the early 70s there was a music store in the Dedham Mall called Wurlitzer's and there was a guy that worked there who was a grwat guitar player. And he sat at the cash register with his 68 cherry red ES 335 all day long. 7:08 And one afternoon of many we spent talking with him he was figuring out this song. Took him a bit and then he taught it to me. Fast forward a few years and i formed a band with some elder guys I met ,during one of our weekend rehearsals who stops by but Pierre , from Wurlitzer's apparently he was in a band with the lead player's elder brother I had never seen him out side of the store. And he became part of our ensemble. I really looked up to him even though I was a bass player but that was better because I got to accompany the best guitarist that i have ever played with. Thanks for keeping one of the prettiest songs alive.

[@clivesmith6081]

I am old enough to remember these guys when they first started out, I live a short distance from where Greg grew up and wrote lucky man at a very young age, I worked with a guy who lived in his neighbourhood and was a friend and dreamed that I might be introduced to the man (it didn't happen). Cant believe that all these years later I decide to pick up a guitar and have a go at playing this, thanks for a great tutorial Howard.

[@morsky53]

This is an awesome post. You are an exceptionally gifted teacher and artist. Many thanks for sharing this lesson with us; and best wishes

[@DavidLightWill]

You are an amazing guitar/music teacher. Love your channel.

[@kettlecreek8451]

Fantastic lesson! I'm 73 and the way you teach this is very do-able for me and as complex as the music sounds you present it in a non imtimidating way. Thanks!!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Wow, thanks!

[@evianbidet3553]

Best tutorial I have seen, period. Than you, bro.And, yes, the chords do help a lot.

[@rongibsonmarshall2465]

Man that brings back memories.Brain Salad Surgery....hands down Howard you are the best guitar instructor on you tube...thank you...if everyone had music in their life there would be peace...

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

You're very kind... thanks si much :-)

[@jeffroberts_tunes]

Great lesson and important takeaway in "don't worry about the little anomalies, just play the song" -- which is of course what he did and it mutated over time (thanks for showing the evolution in detail).

[@Mike-qw7vf]

GREAT lesson and playing!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thank you :-)

[@cantstartafire]

Dude! How did I miss this???? Thanks man!

[@dufusbug]

FANTASTIC !!! this is the best tutorial that I have seen on You Tube to play that wonderful tune, by far. ... BRAVO !!! I'm subscribing. And Thank You!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Wow, thanks!

[@toneseeker4968]

Three songs that I have partially forgotten how to play since the 70's...this one, The Rain Song, and South City Midnight Lady. I'm back on track on this one...just by watching this video. Thanks for posting, Howard!

[@levigoldsteinbergowitz7391]

Out of curiosity you ever find a good tab/lesson for the rain song in standard tuning? I got a good chunk of the intro and verse by ear but some parts im missing.

[@BigMikesBS]

Damn, now I have to learn South City Midnight Lady..

[@wilhen1]

Can't get enough ELP. Thanks so much Howard!

[@GaryBook]

Absolutely great. In high school everyone learned this song and Stairway to Heaven to show off with. A signature tune. A multitude of thanks for doing this gem.

[@marcellemay7721]

I don't even own a guitar, I'm a drummer, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching you break this tune down. One of my favorite acoustic guitar songs. I enjoyed you explaining the little perhaps unintentional notes he hits in the song. I just chalk that up to a musician that is totally comfortable with his instrument and ad libbing his music. That's what makes a great musician.

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

There are many tutorials on this song, but IMO, this is the best with tabs. Thanks for the lesson and posting!!

[@beemanrunning977]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you for putting this together! Such a cool song. A great confidence builder.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thank you kindly!

[@kellystauffer5637]

Superb! Gosh, too be able to casually just strum thrift this with such precursor and grace. And you're a great teacher too...wow

[@barone57]

Fantastic 👋👋👋👋👋

[@gospeljohn413]

Great job I’ve been trying to learn a song I’m a beginner I’m an old man. I got slow fingers but I’d love to be able to perform this song live one day it’s in my bucket list. Thank you you’re you and then there’s a young lady this teaching this song also on her KZbin and you both have done an outstanding job. I will be following along and practicing and thank you. Happy new year.

[@FlugHerr]

thanks Howard for the above and beyond effort for this video. Excellent.

[@donlawler9510]

Love the dog cameo at 10 minutes!

[@ScottDKane]

Brilliant! Spot on rendition and superb teaching style. This is the first lesson of yours that I've stumbled upon. I will definitely be searching out more from you. Thank you Howard!

I've been playing this song wrong for 35 years. I think I stand corrected. Thanks Howard

Fantastic lesson - you have a gift for teaching music!

[@JohnDoe-tw8es]

Thanks, going to have to practice that up and down strokes you do so quickly on that Dadd9 etc. Great job....

[@FrankMatthys-r4m]

Hi Howard, just saw a beautiful acoustic solo from Greg Lake interview Q104.3, part 2. Maybe something too add? Love the teaching, greetings from Belgium

[@stringmantony]

Excellent, excellent video! 👍

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@12string-Randy]

finally, someone teaches the double bend correctly. Greg actually showed this to me after one of his concerts. Awesome , awesome lesson. one little teenie tiny critique, I don't think the very first note (low E string) is a harmonic like it is in "Roundabout". It's just open E, then the rest is harmonics. Sorry to be so picky because this is one of the best lessons out there. thanks so much

[@bustov75]

Great!!!! Thx Howard!

[@tommcnally3646]

Very nuanced, great lesson, always loved the unusual chords on this

[@daviddebord8529]

Well done. Better than others I have seen. Thnx for sharing.

[@kankankusdiana9500]

Thank you for your tutorial playing "from the beginning" with guitar like the original song.

My pleasure!

[@progfrogian9226]

Oh yes, if you can, please do the keyboard solo for guitar 🥰

great lesson thank you

Thanks, Howard!!

[@stephensanchez9590]

I wasn't real familiar with this song until I heard the cover by dokken on their live album in 1995 one live night now I really love this song

[@jorgeluna9009]

Excelente!!!!!

[@caravaggio1571]

I would love to see the solo for this.

[@seankagan5720]

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart Of course! I'll check out some more of your videos you're really amazing

[@johnallison2146]

Thanks Howard, came to your channel while looking for this song and love the way you teach it. Subscribed and checked out the rest of your stuff and can’t wait to get back and get stuck into loads of them. Not sure if I’ll crack the Ian Anderson stuff though 😮. Thanks again from England.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanks so much :-)

[@TheDhmcompu]

Please do a video on Keith’s key d on guitar. That would be awesome. I’ve already serenaded my girlfriend with this song.

[@rigobertosoler5174]

Thanks Very simple learn

I find this song very difficult currently even taking it apart in sections? Don’t understand why? 😊

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Hi - It's a Fender Paramount :-)

[@jaredchaney4643]

Hey Howard…I bow to you of course but I’m looking at the Dm7 arpeggio and wondering if it isn’t an F/D? Thanks for your fab lessons.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanks for watching :-) You can also look at it that way. I'm guessing you probably know already, but a Dm7 chord is just an Fmaj with a D in the bass - D, F, A, C

[@gospeljohn413]

❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏 working on it

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Wonderful!

[@TS-Music-57]

Do you ever get nervous when you make these videos or playing guitar in front of anyone? Thanks, Tim
