Top 10 Genesis Chords (Selling England album)

[@crag_]

I love genesis, I grew up with my dad playing the albums in the car, so cool to see someone from my generation revisit this bands material and make a video out of it. They are timeless, still great today.

[@progreviews]

Same here! We listened to we can’t dance when I was little

[@sergemoreillon1236]

I used to play them in my car in the 70's and I LOVE to listen to young musicians playing that beautiful NOT simplistic music for the new generations !

[@OswaldoLafee]

What a treasure to humanity. Music that will never be the same… Thanks so much for this great video.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

My pleasure!

[@drj602]

Yep. These guys, Yes, etc. - the Beethovens of our day.

[@daniellacroix-t9h]

Selling England... is a true masterpiece, mainly due to Tony Banks and Steve Hackett's work (apart from the other guys contribution of course). Have been listening to these songs since 1975, and I'm still astonished by the cleverness and the beauty. Great video for great music. Thanks a lot.

[@DCFreakable]

Very nice video! The intro of cinema show was solely written and played by Mike Rutherford - he loved using alternative tunings back then. There are a bunch of good tutorials that show the proper tuning and how to play the intro on YT. Still loved your version!

[@chrisbarry4467]

Awesome job man, Hackett's playing was sheer genius.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thanks for watching!

[@JP_Systems]

Thanks for this Antoine. If I'm not mistaken, The Cinema Show intro is the work of Rutherford, not Hackett. Like more than half of Genesis guitar parts at the time. Like Hackett once said, Mike could give any 12 strings players a run for their money. J'espère que le spectacle de Hackett à Québec en mars ne sera pas annulé!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Tu as bien raison, j'étais sur le pilote automatique en disant Hackett tout le long. Merci de m'avoir corrigé!

[@VincentAicardi-TerroirsEtPays]

Omg you re kidding me, I wasn't prepared, such a pleasure to hear this. Thank you, lot of work!!!

[@PTguitars]

The intro to "The Cinema Show" is actually created and played by Mike Rutherford on Electric 12-string. Tuning : dD gG aD eG bB eE

[@DrEdwinV]

As genius as Hackett is, let’s not forget Mike. Still remember seeing him play this with his twelve string

[@zunfdo]

Absolute gold -- to-the-point video production, crystal-clear explanations, perfect playing, nice chord selection! Thank you very much!

[@KevStevens-Music-Drums-Art]

What a wonderful tutorial. I have learnt so much about how to play my favourite album of all time. Thank you Antoine. What a gorgeous guitar tone you have. As commented below, The Cinema Show intro is Mike Rutherford, however, he was joined by Steve and also Tony on 12-string for part of the intro, as well, of course, as Peter's flute work. I didn't know that Tony played 12 string on this one until this weekend when I saw another Tutotrial. Over 50 years on and I'm still learning about this perfect album.

[@toslinked]

the most romantic of all rock bands. thanks for the great lesson!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

My pleasure!

[@NevermindTheHurt]

That’s incredibly cool that someone other than me finds their music “ romantic!” It’s so romantic! Thanks man

[@phillipmeighen3215]

Hi Antoine. What an unexpected lesson! My all time favourite Genesis album. You mention Firth of Fifth which contains my favourite guitar lead of all time!

[@fabiofanelli6030]

Bravo! I never heard so detailed explanation on the Genesis tracks...

[@charlesdauphin3324]

Tu viens de m'identifier l'accord "chair de poule" qui me fait vibrer à chaque fois que j'écoute "Cinema Show" (le #10). C'est ma préférée des préférées de Genesis! Quel voyage, et quel solo de Banks!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Un chef d'oeuvre! Merci Charles!

[@chrisbarry4467]

My all time favorite album ever.

[@Bernielandry]

Thanks so much, Antoine! (Well done) I saw Genesis in the early '70s doing the "Selling England by the Pound" at the Université de Montréal. Fantastic sound and the first time I heard a mellotron Live. Steve Hacket and Mike Rutherford should be proud of you for sharing this..

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thanks, Bernie. I was born too late for that, but that must have been something!!!

[@tomhenninger4153]

Excellent presentation! So well done. and easy to follow. Thank you Antoine!

[@carlosclaptrix]

Hey, what a great song choice! When you start the first some chords I am immediately in this inner "film" of Genesis music.

[@eric.paquet]

Hey Antoine! Thank you for covering my favorite guitarist, Steve Hackett! I'm going to re-watch this video several times. Are you familiar with Hackett's solo albums? You may want to have a look at Voyage of the Acolyte (1975), especially the last song Shadow of the Hierophant which is so atmospheric. His 1979 album Spectral Morning is a bit more ethereal and should please - I think - to most ambient music fans.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

I heard Spectral Morning a long time ago, but that are some great suggestions! I need more Hackett in my life, that's for sure :-) thanks Eric!

[@carlosclaptrix]

Eric - 100% agreed! Heirophant is a fascinating song!

[@mantra3000]

Extraordinaire, un vrai moment de pédagogie, c'est hyper précis, hyper détaillé et ça permet de cerner ce qui fait vibrer les cordes sensibles dans les harmonies de Rutherford, Banks et hackett! Génial!

[@greg-warsaw4708]

This is a great job in combining a presentation / explanation / interpretation and a lesson. It is revealing to carefully listen to detailed excerpts that otherwise (on the record, with all the arrangement and pace) may escape your attention for years. Very fine job indeed plus impressive guitar skill plus a very pretty sound.

[@louisndupuis]

Quel guitariste incroyable ce Steve Hackett! Super vidéo - merci!

[@ericdowning8705]

Antoine, you are so positive and full of amazing knowledge that inspires your viewers to play outside the box. Your like a breathe of fresh air during this pandemic! Cheers!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thank you so much, Eric :-)

[@joseramonanadonruizdelafue6252]

Thank u for sharing your wonderful knowledge of my favourite Genesis album...clean, neat playing and excellent explanations on chords and progressions... beautiful sound too..❤❤❤

[@PascalNagat]

Great lesson, I play these tunes for years but, as I don't like More Fool Me, I never treid to play it and so didn't notice the detune trick. Thanks a lot

[@jmorningwoods]

Thank you! What You are doing here is great. I Am a fan .U got me hooked

[@DrChorske]

The reworking of chord 9 is genius, great work

[@hafer88]

you have a good taste in music in my opinion. at your age it's something special to bring genesis "selling england by the pound" 🙂

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

You're very welcome! :-)

[@tramlad2]

Brilliant, so many things discovered on your demo, from a superb album, glad you are a fan of Steve Hackett, such an influencial guitarist, Genesis missed him when he left, they were never as good without Steve.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

I have to admit, I don't know much of Genesis' music after the mid 70's. All my favorite albums are with Gabriel and Hackett (Selling England being my absolute favorite, that's why I did this one). Maybe someday I will dig deeper in their discography, but there is so much music to listen to! It's hard to get to know all these bands, as a young man who has not lived through these eras :-)

[@paulflynn6169]

Inspired music , beautifully revealed . Thank you , Antoine.

[@raymondvaughan6262]

Just shows how good genesis was the early 70.s stuff and of course Mr hackett still turning it out saw them many times in early 70.s brilliant live

[@michielvdvlies3315]

Genesis is really underrated. their compositions are awesome

[@greg-warsaw4708]

By _underrated_ - music YT's most frequent comment, people usually mean not enough people actually listening to and appreciating somebody's music. With Genesis, there's a different peculiar trouble: many of those who call themselves fans break their output in two parts (sometimes three) and only choose one, rejecting the other. The key thing is to learn to enjoy the evolution of their music rather than wish to keep it firmly closed within a timeframe labelled '73 or '74 and refuse to develop.

[@arnoudvaes2658]

This is insane! Great lesson.

[@MartinJG100]

Excellent. So good to see an analysis of the best prog rock band ever :).

[@RodrigoAndrion]

Thanks for such a great genesis guitar lesson! What brand is your guitar?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

It's a Suhr Classic Stratocaster. Thanks for watching!

[@andrerenault]

Excellent dissection, your passion for the music is evident! I should mention that on More Fool Me, while the album version is somewhere between Eb and E, the live versions are definitely in E. I wonder if this is because they recorded it too fast on SEBTP, and so vari-sped it down.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thanks! I think it was common at that time to be ''in the cracks'' between tunings. You can hear that on many other albums in the 70's.

[@mikeygROCNY]

Is the progression in Dancing with the moonlit knight an earlier song? I heard the melody the other day on “ tranquility” type album playing in a massage spa. The triad part you showed.

[@vicentemontequin4113]

A masterpiece! Could you do "Sgt.Pepper's?

Amazing study and playing, man. I just want to pick up my guitar right now and start rippin' through these chords. What reverb are you using right now? (either brand or type) Sounds lovely
