The Cinema Show by Genesis TUTORIAL (plus FREE 'idiot proof' charts)

[@SarahEverett-yd8he]

I know you posted this ages ago but I went to see ‘Musical Box’ last night who were astounding and I decided to make it my life’s mission to be able to play Cinema Show. Thanks very much for doing this tutorial- much appreciated. I’ll have to save up for a 12 string though!!! :-)

[@rob7068]

Absolutely brilliant video and charts for arguably the most beautiful of Genesis tunes. Have adored it for decades. Thank you so much.

[@paulwilson308]

You are right, and absolutely brilliant. But I need to get a cutaway 12 string!? Paul Wilson Canada

[@StevePrentice]

Wonderful lesson and great presentation style, Rob, thank you! I am now in the process of convincing my wife of my need to buy a second 12-string guitar so that I can keep one in "Cinema Show" tuning.

[@mattmiskie]

Thanks Rob - especially for the tuning !!!! This song was going through my head over the weekend and i was ready to take a crack at it. I knew it had to be in some kind of semi-open tuning - thanks for taking the mystery out of it. This will blow my audiences mind when i get it down and play it live !!! Thanks again !!!!

[@kaycee2066]

Late to the party, but thanks for the arrangement! I didn’t realize quite the alternate tuning in this one. This song is fantastic end to end.

[@mattbrowne7862]

Nice video and accurate. Just a thought, no need to replay so many things as it's a recorded VIDEO! When you teach, leave all the parts first, then play the whole song. Doesn't need to be 16 minutes.

[@malcolmsutherland8585]

Thanks for that Rob. I’ve never had a 12-string but now feel a desperate urge to get one! One of my favorite Genesis pieces for sure….Blood on the Rooftops and Horizons. Thanks so much for this. Will you be doing a second part to this…..would love to play the whole thing?

[@hrebolledoc5159]

I am So grateful for your tutorial, this song is a real gem, thanks 🙏🙏

[@charlespeters9626]

Rob - top notch video as always. Boy did that track bring back memories of my undergrad days listening to Phil Easton play progrock on Radio City. Happy days and memories. Will have to get the 12 string out (a 70th birthday present to myself) and retune it. "Suppers Ready" has been going through my head this week - another classic. Take care. Regards from NZ.

Hi Rob, very good tutorial, like in a one to one demo with a smart paper support, something i looked for a long time ago, and very nice cap look !

[@james-gang]

Old Fans, wonderful music - thanks for sharing, stay well

[@paulwilson308]

Brilliant analysis of my favourite intro

[@karlstevens7062]

Well thanks for that , I thought my urge to once again buy a twelve string had dimished (it usually pops up around Xmas time due to greg lakes " I believe in ... ) but after only a few bars of cinema show I'm already scouring the Web. Many thanks for this lesson. I was wondering if you could cover the opening to ' farewell to kings ' by Rush also ' hope' by Rush is a great one for twelve string. Once again many thanks

Love it great job but unfortunatly can't get the sheets to downkoad

[@DavidJNann]

Wow Rob, have loved this song ( best version on Seconds out IMHO) for sometime, your Video is great, unfortunately I don't own a 12 string but I will have go on the Six, thanks for this

[@robertbeyer6910]

Now you've done it. I thought about it after your Solsbury Hill lesson. I have no choice but to buy a 12 string! ......I've been looking for an excuse. Well done, as always.

[@fennahrob6934]

Good man. Get that 12 string. Incidentally, Solsbury Hill is actually played on a couple of 6 strings. I did it on a 12 to sparkle it up and give the impression of 2 guitars. 🤣

[@michellarocque531]

Did you make a video for the rest of the song? This one is great, Tks

[@fennahrob6934]

No, just the intro. 👍🏻

[@patricerouet341]

please post the sequel

[@simonhonywill8656]

This is life-changing, but when do we get the rest of it?!!!

[@fennahrob6934]

I got a copyright issue with this one. Shame, otherwise I’d have done more.

[@tuna22lm]

I was not able to download your charts for this it said download pending, it might not be a trusted site. oh well, I do have a 12 string Eko Guitar that was made in Italy. I haven't played it for years but it is a beautiful sounding guitar it does sound like it echo's lol.

[@softburger1]

Well done. But I'd like to see how the cinema show goes on ;-)

[@smit70NJ]

This is great. Thx for putting this together!

[@jdharris7]

Excellent tutorial. Thx.

[@Dabberontour]

Thanks again Rob

[@LowDeath23]

Thank you sir!!! Do you maybe have an non-idiot proof chart? (I mean the normal ones?) Thanks again.

D’ya know what? As long as I’ve got a hole in my ar$e I’ll never be able to play ‘Never going back again’. But …. If I can get to the point where I can do a reasonable rendition of this, I’ll die happy 🙈😂😎👍

Are your charts still available? The download doesn't work?

[@lucmartin2994]

thank you bob but what king of tuning is this?

[@fennahrob6934]

Take a look at the vid and accompanying paperwork for tuning. It’s something unique to Genesis, not a ‘normal’ tuning. 👍🏻

[@lucmartin2994]

@@fennahrob6934 ok thank you

[@ianbennett992]

Is it possible to play this on a six string and still retain something of the original?

[@fennahrob6934]

Hi Ian, not really. Cinema Show features a really odd tuning on some of the ‘paired’ strings. Ie. They’re not tuned at octaves. This is what gives the track its unique sound. Even Steve Hackett, who didn’t play the 12 string on the recording, has to use a few instruments to get the same effect when he does it live. Solution; get a 12 string. ✌️
