Could be the use of reverb, Hackett's recording is high on that. Thanks for the compliments.

That'd be cool. I would have to find a good 12-string guitar for that though. But I still have time 😉

Thank you. Actually, I got a bit distracted towards the end where I flab a bit on a couple of notes but I thought the rest was pretty decent so I wouldn't have to do another take. Very glad you enjoyed it.

Gràcies, Xavier!

I'm honored that you liked my performance so much. This piece is so well crafted and it really grows on you on multiple listenings. I wasn't sure if I got it when I first read the score but after listening to Ant's recording it clicked immediately into place. Thanks for watching, Paulo!

Somebody needs to fix that algorithm :D I'm glad you finally watched this one. I have to say I'm particularly proud of this one since it was one of the pieces I really wanted to be able to play back when I didn't know much about guitar playing. Thanks!

​@@hyperboreal Do you figure out these complicated pieces on your own or are there charts somewhere? Brought to mind Jon Anderson on stage, I once played guitar like that... It was in a dream, I remember it's vividly.

@@marksink1652 I did listened it out. I couldn't find any sheet music for this one back then, not sure if there's any.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much!

Doncs quina sort d'haver pogut trobar l'original en aquella època. En l'era digital en principi hauria de ser més fàcil trobar una còpia comercial per poder descarregar en format pdf o similar. Crec que vaig llegir una entrevista amb Ant on deia que tenien pensat publicar les partitures per al seu tercer Private Parts & Pieces, però en aquella època no van aconseguir, per temes de viabilitat comercial, trobar una editorial que es llancés a fer-ho. Una llàstima no poder tenir a mà partitures de la seva música que segurament deuen existir en algun lloc. Gràcies, Xavier per comentar una altra vegada.

@@hyperboreal Per cert, si vols còpies del llibre m´ho dius, i moltes gràcies per tot el que fas.

El pdf que tinc d'aquest llibre ve amb un afegit de tres pàgines amb la peça per a guitarra clàsica "Sospirando" del PP&P7. Sembla com un manuscrit fet a mà pel mateix Ant o potser només la feina d'un transcriptor anònim. Està perfectament transcrit per això dic que podria haver sigut fet per ell.

@@xaviersalsot Gràcies, no em farà falta. Vaig imprimir el document i el tinc enquadernat també ;)

Don't have any for this one at the moment, sorry.

Gracias por tu apoyo, Pedro.

Hi Pascal! This middle part has similar vibe than other Ant pieces, I'm thinking of the middle parts of "Danza Cucaracha" and "Study No.4 in G Major" from the same book. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Uff, no sé qué decirte. Al final es cuestión de echarle horas y ponerse el listón un poco más alto. Pero gracias, yo ,como siempre, pienso que aún se puede mejorar :D

Thanks Paulo for dropping by and watch!

Digital copy that somebody sent me years ago. I wanted to buy the original book but it got discontinued so it's very rare indeed. Thanks for commenting, those fast arpeggios in the middle call for a good warming up before recording :)

Very glad you liked this arrangement!

So nice to read that. I've always loved this tune so it was kind of a duty thing for me to do a fair arrangement and I always get a kick out of it when trying to "solve" tricky passages. Thanks to you for watching, Marianne 😃
