Hi All. I've picked up a few gems here and there over the last couple of months so I guess it's time to start contributing as well. Much thanks to the genius who posted Pleiades by King's X! Anyway, what we have here is essentially the intro to The Musical Box by Genesis as it is performed on Genesis Live. I've also managed to pick out to first couple of arpeggios that immediately follow. Obviously, this is by no means complete! If anyone out there has more, or wants to make corrections, feel free! I'd like this to be a group effort, if at all possible. Key of F#min (I think, I suck with theory) Intro F# C#sus4 F# C#sus4 ---6--------6--7--6---4---4-----6--7--6----6--6--6---4--------- ---7--------7--7--7---7---7-----7--7--7----7--7--7---7--------- ---6--------6--6--6---6---6-----6--6--6----6--6--6---6--------- ---4--------4--4--4---6---6-----4--4--4----4--4--4---6--------- ---4--------4--4--4---4---4-----4--4--4----4--4--4---4--------- --------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not convinced that the C#sus4 is right, but there are two guitars going here, and it's tough to get the voicing exactly right. GTR I Play me Old King Cole.... Bm F# -----2-------2-------2-------2-------2-------2-------2-------2--- ---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2- -4-------4-------4-------4-------3-------3-------3-------3------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- :snip here: And that's it for now! Sorry! I'm pretty sure the next chord stays F# but with a different arpeggio. By the way, before I get flamed for posting such a tiny chunk of such a great song, let me just add that I have figured out more of the song, but I don't want to just throw in all the different bits until I get the bits in between. Don't forget, the live version has three guitars going at once, so this is going to be real ugly when I finish it. More Guitar, less Thesis! Here's the way I've figured out the closing section to "the Musical Box" by Genesis. This is the bit they segue into from "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" when they play live (Check out Seconds Out to see what I mean) Here are the major patterns for the first bit (the "she's a lady" part) all below are 2 beats each... F# pattern D#m pattern C# pattern E pattern e----9-7-9--------6-4-6--------4-2-4----------0-------------------------- B---7-7-7-7------4-4-4-4------2-2-2-2--------0-0------------------------- G-------------------------------------------1---1------------------------ D------------------------------------------2-----2----------------------- A--9------------6------------4------------2-------2---------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------------------ Below is 8 beats (2 measures) F# pattern 2 e------------------------------------------------------------------------ B----2---2---2---0----2---2---2------------------------------------------ G-----3---3---3---1----3---3---3----------------------------------------- D------4---4---4---2----4---4---4---------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------ E---2---2---2---0----2---2---2---2--------------------------------------- Putting it together: (the chord name is the pattern name here. each "/" is 1 beat) |F# / F# / |F# / F# / |D#m / D#m / |D#m / D#m /| She's a lady, she's got time Oh She's a lady, she is mine Oh C# / C# / |E / E / |F# no. 2 :|| Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh.

Questions, comments, corrections all welcome. If anyone has the rest of this, I'd love to see it! enjoy! -=Chris |
