Hi Gang,
As many of you know, I have been off on a Greg Lake/King Crimson/ELP tangent since the death of Keith Emerson. This led me to a bunch of videos that I had never seen, and were probably not around in the previous century, when I put the lesson together on From The Beginning. I have some new info now because of it and thought I would add an additional part to the lesson (one of the original 50 TARGET lessons, by the way). It is called Corrections & Variations. I hope you enjoy it and would like some feedback as you get a chance to revisit this classic song.

Neil- one of my favorite Greg Lake tunes (amongst so many). I'd love to see it tabbed so I can practice it correctly.
Thanks for the update! I actually noted some differences watching these videos!!

Yep, I too noticed that he kept his index finger on C, while he went thru that picking thing. But Since I've been using this song as a picking exercise since the day you made it a lesson, it's hard for me to wanna change much.
I saw one of those videos, (Greg in the white jacket) a long time ago. Maybe the entire concert wasn't available, but "From the Beginning" was, so I've heard these changes for a while, and I really do like them.
Thanks for revisions Neil.

I tried this year ago and put it aside.
That is a great addition, it's definitely worth watching this addition before the earlier lesson.
Lots to think about.
I liked the sound of the cross picking and alternate picking as in in the earlier lesson.
