Post Gentle Giant- A Reunion
Not to get hopes up that the band is getting back together, but here is an arrangement of the tune from the album "In a Glass House"!

I've been playing this one live for years, and some of the tricky chords required me study the sheet music posted on the Gentle Giant fan website, which has a lot of nice resources for fans of their music:

I love this, excellent playing, sound and video. "In A Glass House" was a favorite record
way back when :| I think I need to crawl back through some vinyl...

That backbeat with the LH forefinger always gets me. Such a fulfilling rhythmic device. Then there's the song selection and the sound. Another Stick classic?

That was a really nice, gentle thing to hear this afternoon - good music for feeling very sick.
Loved the tone, loved the quality of the video, loved the tune. Excellent.

Incredible.

The perfect band for stickists to cover. Great contrapuntal concept, insane melodies, one of my favorites.

Great work, Rob.
