White Mountain - Genesis

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

I feel like, even with The Knife and Stagnation on the same album, THIS was the song which made me truly love Genesis forever.

[@RamessesIX]

Yes!

[@stevenhaywood6027]

It was the wondrous, beautiful Trespass album that did it for me in late 1974, when I was 14 It has always been my favourite Genesis album! sttgaegoaktd

[@malkin_laboratory4692]

I like dusk and all of A.Phillips

[@brunocolesse7883]

same for me

[@pistol264]

Amen...

[@Jbeliski]

I used to always wonder, how did they do it at only 19 years of age. Such brilliant composers. Maybe Ant will see this.

[@hyperboreal]

They are geniuses indeed, their "monastic life" in Charterhouse & the cottage also helped. Their commitment to music around that era, given their young ages, was extraordinary.

[@stevenhaywood6027]

hyperboreal , age of the soul too. Peter was a very old soul. This allows the muse to visit to impart specific information. sttgaegoaktd

[@chevyband5989]

La belleza del album Trespass es incalculable. Aquí fué cuando aprendí a disfrutar la música de Genesis. Gracias, Maestro, por su adaptación a la Guitarra Clásica, impecable ejecución ❤

[@hyperboreal]

De acuerdo en que es una joya de album. Contento de que fans del album como tú aprecien mi versión. Gracias por comentar.

[@ItsRael108]

Shivers up my spine from your electrict ..thanx

[@ALLANROCK]

Poetic brilliance and a stellar rendition giving great respect to the legacy of a masterpiece,i was tearfully moved.many thanks for posting

[@chrisfox2890]

Phenomenal! What a fantastic rendition and beautifully played...

[@1ouncebird]

What the? That was fantastic!!! Wonderful version.

[@HaroldDemura]

This is simply Awesome and Beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us Alex

[@hyperboreal]

Mille grazie, Fulvio! A comment like that from a Genesis fan like you means a lot!

[@Griz1961]

Outstanding. -Longtime Old Genesis fan.

[@JackIsidore]

Great! It captures all the orchestral aspects of the original song just with one guitar - very impressive! Thank you for doing this!

[@hyperboreal]

My pleasure! I tried to include as many parts as I could. Some guitar arpeggios or keyboard parts are difficult to reproduce if you want to keep the vocals though. Thank you, Jack.

[@Dingus7696]

This song is so good. And you play so well buddy !!! :')

[@guytero8812]

Well played. Beautifully played. 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼

[@hyperboreal]

Thanks, Guy!

[@troubleclef]

Oh, man. Great. Particularly liked the way you played two sections: where Fang son of Great Fang hears his doom read out (my favorite part of the song anyhow) with that creepy bass. also the finger brush tremolo toward the end. really brings out the quality of wind-blowing-thru-the-icy-forest. Very nice, Alex.

[@hyperboreal]

Those two sections for me are the best parts from the original song. It´s a shame that, in this take, I couldn´t make the singing line at the lower strings more noticeable with that brush tremolo near the end. Thanks to you, if I hadn´t heard your arrangements I wouldn´t be doing these.

[@phremois734]

quel boulot ! superbe transposition, bravo 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Rickard1235]

One of my favorite Genesis song,beautifully done man.!!!!!!

[@hansvanlavieren7027]

Just awesome 👍❤

[@snacklofter]

From one of my favourite Genesis albums ever! Many Thanks.

[@massimofilippi8060]

bellissima , bravo .max

[@WTZubul]

I really loved the part around the 2:00 mark. The use of tremolo there was really inspired!

[@hyperboreal]

I wondered how to sustain the long notes from Gabriel's flute and that tremolo came to the rescue. Is one of the parts that needs more practice though. Thanks!

[@markprogrocker4220]

An absolutely beautiful rendition. Well done

[@TubboDiLuigi]

Amazing ... no other words to say ... the best version ever heard ...

[@hyperboreal]

Thank you very much!

[@andrealoleo1681]

Io mio pezzo favorito di Trespass! Bravissimo, arrangiamento meraviglioso !

[@MAFussell]

What improvement? None needed. A great rendering of an oldie classic. Thanks for making it come alive with a classical guitar!

[@hyperboreal]

I was thinking more in terms of better execution than of tweaking the arrangement. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

[@brunobisello2576]

Stupenda!!!!!! Complimenti comp!imenti!!!!! Sei diplomato in chitarra? Molto bravo!!!!!

[@akist8455]

Wonderful .... without words !!

[@music2heart4u]

Flawless Victory !! One of my favorite albums !!

[@jeff-bg2fn]

Bravo à vous, jeune homme. Et c'est un vieil amoureux de la musique de Genesis qui vous le dit. J'espère que vous prenez autant de plaisir à jouer que nous à vous écouter.

[@hyperboreal]

Merci beaucoup, Jean-François. J'ai d'autres morceaux de Genesis à partager à l'avenir.

[@Mark28644]

Just beautiful, Sir!! You make look so easy, as well. You're very talented, indeed!!

[@80paura16ciao]

Sei un genio straordinario !!! Un arrangiamento pazzesco !!

[@PeteGenesis]

You have nailed it. Bravo.

[@hyperboreal]

Thanks a lot again.

[@geyerking]

Perfect playing. Very well done. Thank you. Thump Up!

[@falapurdia]

Cómo echaba de menos tus vídeos. Me alegra saber que sigues ahí. [Nos tenías abandonados]

[@hyperboreal]

Jaja, gracias Berni. Tengo más cosas preparadas, próximamente en sus pantallas :p

[@tomystein4717]

[@amirhamra]

One of their greatest unique moments. Thank you for doing it again .

[@massimofilippi8060]

piu l'ascolto e piu mi piace . mette tranquillita nell'anima. bravo max

[@openswimmer]

Mesmerizingly beautiful. Bravo.

[@jimguitarfan]

Magnificent playing and wonderful arrangement, Alex. That brushing at the end is so atmospheric. Wonderful job. Thanks for posting this. Jim

[@hyperboreal]

The open tuning helped a lot. It wouldn't have worked as this with standard tuning. Thanks for watching, Jim!

[@stefancipriani4519]

You are really etraordinaire!!!!! What and Skill you have reached !!!

[@amccann7]

A little late on seeing this; haven't been on youtube much lately. But always come by to hear you, Alex.

[@jasonsteiner7109]

My fav from Trespass. Well done!

[@hyperboreal]

Mine too. Thanks.

[@oraziococlite7641]

I love this song so much and you are a so great player. thank to you from italy.

[@hyperboreal]

Molte grazie, Orazio. I love this song from "Trespass" very much too.

[@darrellsmith9099]

Very well done sir.

[@KingXanadu]

We didn't have to wait long after all! Beeeeautiful !

[@hyperboreal]

Yeah, in the end I decided to use the early take I had. Is not perfect but I get tired easily now if I have to go through several takes. Thanks!

[@PascalsGuitar]

Great arrangement Alex. Very well done. Must be a killer for the left hand !!

[@badrogue66]

Its a shame you don't get to hear the applause you deserve after the last note played , Alex. Great song choice to come back with and wonderfully executed as always. Now the photo makes sense. Welcome back my internet friend.

[@hyperboreal]

Hey Gerald, thanks a lot. Good to know you were intrigued by the picture. A pack of wolves in it would have been somewhat more revealing. See you!

[@carlolai9912]

Che classe...! GRANDE.

[@martinsimpson5883]

Beautiful ❤️

[@Tiercellus]

Amazing cover on a classic. Loved it!

That is really sweet, Alex! I've always liked that song and you play it beautifully! Thanks for sharing! ;)

[@hyperboreal]

Thanks, Chris. Good to hear from you. See you!

[@NadavMerom]

You are back !!! Amazing, as always... Thanks.

[@hyperboreal]

Thanks Nadav.

[@momothecat1]

Well done

[@jimhikikomoriarty9091]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@ripplesguy1036]

I could throw endless praise and suitable adjectives at this, but all I will say is that I hope one day Ant gets to learn of your playing. That said, it's hard not to say that, actually, this is simply phenomenal. Myself and all the others who have loved this video are now on a mission to find the two morons who have given it a thumbs down . Outstanding and thank you ☺

[@hyperboreal]

Thank you for your loving words, I really appreciate them. As for the dislikes it's really no big deal, I've come to terms with the fact that you cannot please everybody no matter how hard you try. About Ant, I really don't know if he's seen this one. I know for a fact he did with other previous videos of me playing his music because he actually got in contact with me by mail to compliment on my playing. What a shock! I wish I have had better guitars and sound equipment to make his music more justice though. Cheers!

[@ripplesguy1036]

@@hyperboreal Well indeed - I just find it extraordinary that someone would have to be so petty-minded as to find fault. You have brilliantly captured the essence of this wonderful piece of music. Anyway, I have sent you a friend request on Facebook - perhaps I'll see you on there - I could perhaps also share with you music of my own which I have on Soundcloud - thanks again and maybe we speak soon eh!

[@MrJes2007]

Excelente... Maestro... Algún día la sacaré... Jajaja

[@prehistoricwatergun0136]

Beautiful cover I think this song would be great to use for a dungeons and dragons montage in a movie

[@hyperboreal]

Thank you, I think my nerdy me aproves.

[@stevenhaywood6027]

Wonderful performance of this magical, timeless classic from 1970. sttgaegoaktd

Well good

[@ItsRael108]

Bravo

[@miaris]

Stunning :)

[@hyperboreal]

Hi Mia, thank you!

[@RamessesIX]

Neat guitar suggestion of equivalent mood where mellotron was used.

[@hyperboreal]

Thanks a lot. I love the Mellotron sound in Genesis' music. Good that Hackett convinced them to get their own Tron for the following albums!

[@RamessesIX]

Yeah, I think they bought a used one from King Crimson. I remember how the first Mellotron chords on Moonlit Knight felt to me like a magic carpet taking off.

[@JulyValls]

lovely lovely

[@marty9660]

what kind of playing Technique is that called at the 5:50 mark. I remember Mike Rutherford playing that part on the first trick of the tail tour. was very superhuman lightspeed like.

[@hyperboreal]

I have no idea. Let's call it "finger brush tremolo" although you can do the same with the side of the pick too. Rutherford did that a few times with Genesis and Ant also does it.

[@Sergione59]

Grande!!

[@user-qx5nt5bu5i]

Vamos genesis y suigeneris!

[@joseramonsagardi7014]

Sería fantástico conseguir esta partitura. Puede ser? Muchas gracias por esta maravilla de interpretación !

Gracias José Ramón, no tengo nada escrito pero si algún día me pusiera con ello o me enterara de que alguien lo ha hecho ya te avisaría.
