Ha! Ha! It only took 50 years for somebody to finally show how this brilliant song is played. Well done, great job. Any more from Argus or their first two albums would be great.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

Thanks for your kind words :) It's a brilliant album. Might return to it for future covers.

[@NevoAlmighty]

Holy cover. Not only did you did a crazy job on the solo part, you also tabbed it out for people. Thank you for this take! great stuff overall

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

@@NevoAlmighty Much appreciated! This is one of my favourite solos, so I'm glad you feel I did it justice.

[@tinaspendley2755]

Awesome dude, I was weened on Wishbone and the welsh rockers Man so this especially this track is engrained in my DNA. I'm now 62 and about to try and learn this solo for our 70's prog rock band, so the bar you've set is stratospheric. Thanks a bundle LOL. Steve

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

I won't BS you, I had serious callouses from all those bends. The solo is continually shifting, and working its way higher up the neck. Good luck, and feel free to share footage of your cover here. P.S. If you download this video as an MP3 file, open it in audacity, then delete one of the audio channels and play the other one in mono, it helps you to focus in on what that specific guitar is doing. They're hard panned, so it should cut the other one out entirely.

[@tinaspendley2755]

Thanks for the advise and encouragement BSP, can't say I'm looking forward to the skinned finger tips !! You're obviously a serious and talented musician, the craftmanship is mighty, please keep on posting these great rock tracks. @@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers

私も高校生の頃、47年ぐらい前のことだ。東京にwishbone ashがきたときにコンサートを見に行ったよ。そしてこの曲を一年かけて完全コピーしたよ。65歳になった今も時々弾いてる曲だよ。

[@davidhockley1082]

Good..very good....NO! This is far better than very good....BLOODY BRILLIANT, in fact.

そう思う

[@jeremyyork3538]

That was absolutely phenomenal! It was almost indistinguishable from the original studio recording and I just loved it. You put a lot into that performance and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. Well done to you!

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

That's great to hear! In my opinion this is one of the best guitar solos ever written, so I wanted to give it my all.

[@jeremyyork3538]

@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers I agree.

[@KDSima]

Wow, so we'll done! I've always wondered what it would look like side by side, like 2 Andy Powells. Kudos to you for actually doing this!

Cheers!

[@RByers51]

Amazing! Great work, this is my favorite twin lead solo of all time.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

It might be mine too. Amazing sequence. I think the only guitar harmonies that surpass it are on Opeth's 'Morningrise' album.

[@chuckholroyd7458]

Awesome !!!!!
