How to Play Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel on Guitar

[@joshsinclair539]

Great lesson. I’m glad you broke down what the picking hand is doing and not just showing the chords

[@colangelofamily1824]

OMG - this song has been driving me crazy. thank you for making simple enough for a ham fisted drummer to learn

[@theJRgoat11]

Love this song, haven’t found a great tutorial before but this one is fantastic.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Glad you like it!

[@vollpfosten342]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Watched many tutorials before, but you's is clear and simply the best! But it is not easy to find you in youtube! Go on working on the search-machines … surely many guitar-players are looking for you!!!!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Voll, really glad you liked the lesson!

[@macintoshimann9892]

You know, this riff has a little more chill vibe to it when you play it with a little less attack vs. the recording...I like it!

[@RYDR6517]

Love this one, great leson

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks, great song

[@paulseoighemcgee5772]

The best , the best , the best .

[@joek7413]

Great tutorial, I have the chords down, thanks for also showing what your right hand is doing, most others don't explain it as well as you did. Thank you.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot Joe, glad I could help you out!

[@richardbloemenkamp8532]

Thank you very much! I'm learning the song now and it is slowly beginning to work. I learned Landslide and Jolene from you the last two weeks and that worked great (on my level). Watching a YT video is nice but learning to play a song yourself from a YT video is just great. In addition with all the videos at different levels it is easy to find a great song that is not too easy and that can be learned in a few weeks to a level that is fun.

[@johngreen1498]

Many thanks, that was great, I'm an old geezer with a Gibson, I can nail this.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Cheers John

[@Watchdog1953]

Well done, excellent tutorial. Keep it up. And many thanks.

[@aladdinsane3523]

I used three different videos to learn this song. Yours filled in a couple of sections I didn’t understand. Thank you very much.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

That's great. Really pleased to have helped you out.

[@mikeyhare3265]

Great teacher!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Mikey

[@Guitarfish64]

Thanks! This is the first of your lessons I have discovered but now subscribed and will be back for more.

[@dirkg7062]

Great lesson! You nailed it! Thank you.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot

[@Sweepdog700]

Watched a few tutorials of this and just not getting it. Thanks for a more detailed explanation.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Glad I managed to help you out

[@sam-dj8bt]

great job man, been waiting for this! also would love to see clay pigeons by blaze foley

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Sam. Yeah that could be a good one.

[@fiachoconnor]

Great video. Really good job. What about the rest of the song though?

[@mattys4312]

Thank you so much - very good lesson, well done :)

[@darrylmakepeace]

Hi, do you have any plans to teach it the way it is played in the live 1978 version (no capo)?

[@pmiller6960]

Excellent work as always! Thank you! Would you be willing to do a tutorial on the live version of Heart of Life by John Mayer?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot. In time I will teach all of John Mayer’s fingerpicking songs.

[@dstone3241]

I’m hearing strains of Cat Stevens here. Wondering if he used similar chord voicings

[@havardlarsen3410]

Great lesson! Would you concider doing lewis and clark by tommy emmanuel? Would be much appreciated

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks, certainly at some point. His songs take a lot of work.

[@adamb1671]

Awesome bro, the devil is in the detail 👍

[@Vicky-qu4yw]

What guitar are you using? Thanks

[@rosewoodsam]

good stuff, although there are a couple of bars of 4/4 towards the end of the song if anyone is trying to play along with the tune.

[@troytempest290]

Why can I buy your tab for this..?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Hi, just follow the link in the description to the full lesson. Cheers

[@MrTandtrollet]

Well, I did learn that this song is way to advanced for me... So that's something at least...

[@enzoconstantinoromo364]

For how long you been playing?

[@Ера-о3щ]

I will understand if you will ignore this,but what about Joy Division's songs?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

I started messing around with Love Will Tear Us Apart a while back. Maybe I’ll come back to it at some point, such a great track.

[@devikamittal8798]

Do you pluck with your fingernails or with your flesh? My fingers hurt a lot if i pluck with my fingers but i’m not sure if i should grow out my nails or keep them short and develop the calluses.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

I use mainly my flesh, sometimes I grow my nails a bit to add some brightness but mine are so thin they always break in no time. Your flesh toughens up over time, I can play all day with no pain at all.

[@devikamittal8798]

Six String Fingerpicking Makes sense, thank you!

[@theo9952]

Great video, amazing song, I'd love to learn to play and sing it, but it is devilishly difficult, so i 'd rather not try. I think it would be a very long and nearly fruitless effort for me (sobs )

[@CE-kd8uy]

You should do a video on Nothing else matters by Metallica.

[@Ash-fm6ym]

Theres thousands of those online lol

[@jstnxprsn]

I thought it was ""Salisbury Hill" but what do I know?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Haha, to tell you the truth I did too. Apparently Solsbury is a hill near Bath.

[@Guitarfish64]

I was lucky enough to live near Solsbury Hill for a year. A fabulous walk and I can confirm a great view across Bath's 'city lights'. Also not far from Peter Gabriel's Real World studio...

[@outerrealm]

Ummm, six string fingerpicking ? This song was recorded on 12 string, doesn't sound right especially on classical guitar
