The ONLY thing wrong with this video is it's LOUSY 144p quality.

Through earing this out and careful analysis of the fingerings (thanks for the closeups!) I find the tuning to be E B E A B F#. There was a songbook published for the album and it has music and tab for "SITS" but it says the tuning is E B E G# B E, which simply doesn't jibe with the shapes you can see Steve playing when the first chords start up. Apparently the transcriptionist eventually realized this too because when you get to the open harmonics at four bars from the end, what's written makes absolutely no sense. In other various recorded versions of the song, it's down a whole step from this, making the tuning D A D G A E.

Always liked this one.

Thomas Tallant

A huge favorite of mine. Saw GTR live. Just... damn. When the internet came about I searched madly for this video to re-convince myself that it was only one guy.

Richard Mills

10 dislikes? I'm sorry, but what's not to like about this stunning piece of guitar playing?! Crazy........

Sun Fellow

Used in The Remembering too, at the beginning.

Herbert Lewis

Happy Birthday Steve.

Chuck Cheesman

This is a cool piece! I've loved this since I was a kid. It's like a celebration of the 12-string guitar sound.

Southampton Guitar Academy

Awesome! Howe does he play like that?

Caroline Locke

Thomas Tallant

:) SO happy for this post! I saw this concert when I was 13, and was convinced it was played solo.

Its definitely his own piece. It comes from a GTR album and he is given sole credit for the song.
