A few weeks ago I was reminded about possibly adding The Palace Of Versailles to the TG Library. It seemed like a no brainer and it is live now.

Okay, I'm a little gobsmacked here. The mantra of my engineering career was "The Brilliance of Simplicity". Well, Al Stewart got a lot of mileage from fundamental chord progressions, and Dave Nach turned up the leads to eleven. And somehow, you made both voices available on one guitar, then even made it easily playable!

Well done, sir! And I think your suggestion to study further the works of Al Stewart is worth heeding.

Of the 2,000 or so lessons on TG, a few favorites stand out to me. These would be pieces that I like anyway, and happen to fit into my preferred playing style, and The Palace of Versailles probably will at the top of the list by noon tomorrow.

Thank you so much for this lesson.

Hey Wrench,

Thanks so much for the positive feedback, and considering taking the plunge into Al's music. Today's TG News has more of the story. Enjoy!
