This piece was played on a 12-string guitar in dropped D tuning, Greg Lake’s white Gibson J-200 most likely. The arpeggio pattern that he keeps going throughout most of the song is really compelling due to the 12-string, mostly when he hits the 3rd string, which brings in the highest note of the sequence. When the guitar is in dropped D tuning, the main chords that are fingered differently are those with roots on the 6th string. In this song that would be G and F, where the bass note must be played 1 whole step higher than where it is in standard tuning.
So after an entire life of loving this song, and after a year and half of struggling through learning to play guitar after 35 years, I finally get the courage to attempt this song.
I get through the play through, preview, theory, and a look at the left hand. At the end of the video, Neil simply says "good luck". He's a really funny guy. Its going to take a lot more than luck for me to play this cleanly. :D
