Thank you very much! Now I know how to play one of the greatest song ever.Shame theres not more people into this good music.

Lovely stuff Frozenwhitebear!

The sage ELP

yeah I know, maybe Greg Lake influenced that. the opening of "The Sage" is affected by Edvard Grieg's "Solveig's Song". ;o) - what you said about the times: they broke up the doors to new musical horizons, but were tough times too (and a lot we've heard only by broadcast!). nowadays you have the whole choice, in the 90ies some very good musicians too, like Jeff Buckley or Elliott Smith... :)

Hey I enjoyed this, cool!;-)

very useful, thanks ;)

@media122 hi, thanks! you're partially right - the first 2 chords are almost the same, but then The Sage proceeds in another way (check it out). the question was, how did I play the version I had posted before. at 1:28 starts the demo how KC and Asia played the piece. cheers! :)

hi murdo, thanks for your nice comment - and congrats! don't miss to compare it with on stage versions by KC and Asia, for my experience it's the only thing you can trust in :)... thanks for sub too, more Procol to come soon... ;o)

thanks!! :)

I hear a little bit of The Call Of Ktulu from Metallica

Have you ever noticed the start of this song is very similar to the guitar in 'The Sage' by Emerson Lake and Palmer

I subscribed to you.

@riotstarter001 no problem! :) the only problem is I'm no good guitar teacher, I just watched Asia vids to have a look at their fretboard. which version/part do you mean? (it's simple anyway)

Thanks for postingyour simple and explicit lesson, could do you make a simple one on epitaph? I'll appreciate it---

I'm sorry , it's sound very different from this original, it's in E minor, ok I've seen , you propose in second the original in Em

And Metallica ripped it off in The Call of Ktulu
