Hi Everyone,

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live, Trilogy by Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Trilogy, the title tune from ELP’s 4th album, released in 1972, is a great example of what the three members could create from the starting point of a simple ballad.

I never considered doing an acoustic guitar lesson on this until I ran across recent videos of Greg Lake playing Trilogy in all its stripped-down beauty.

This short lesson covers the unusual chords with a simple, free-rhythm, arpeggio accompaniment, along with the melodic intro and a nice end tag that Greg added in a couple of the performances.

Enjoy this level 5 lesson!

Thx for this Greg Lake/ ELP series of lessons Neil.

At the risk of committing a heresy, back in the day i found it hard to get past all the piano pyrotechnics and into their music. Now i can hear the underlying guitar parts i am much more sympathetic to their sound, and also to what Keith Emerson was doing.

Now if we could just wind the drums back a bit haha...
