First off, I want to thank cheezy for posting this. I appreciate his comments and those of all posters in this thread. Criticism is great and it helps one improve. Even (and sometimes more importantly, because of) the negative criticisms. I'm always looking to improve.

I pretty much agreed with almost everything that has been said in this thread. But, I'd like to add a few things. Note that it is a keyboard solo that I transcribed for guitar. So, I think it is difficult to judge the performance because, well...90% of my concern was making it justs simply WORK on guitar, lol. It was a pain in the ass to work out. The notes just don't fall in natural places for a guitar player. The fact that I could even make it sound anything like the original at all was a triumph for me. Even if no one liked it, for me personally, it was a huge milestone.

In the end, the bottom line for me is that I absolutely love this keyboard piece, and I LOVE Boston. It matters less to me if anyone thinks I'm a maestro or a total hack. For me, I'm just really happy to pay homage to such an awesome band that produced way too little music. If others can find some enjoyment from my version of this great piece of music, that's just bonus. I can only hope to have done it some justice.

Thanks cheezy and everyone,
Alexis

I don't mean to demean the guy but I can find another 100 of his type on youtube. In fact probably another 1000.

He's good, but he's no revolution.

Transposition isn't particularly a talent on the guitar, you just move the same shape up and down the neck.

I repectfully disagree.

Don't consider the number of guitar players capable of this, consider the percentage of overall guitar players that can. I've been in a jillion bands and have never played with anyone better at guitar than myself. This dude is better trained and has better technique than I do, and I'd venture to say he'd shred me under the table.

He is in fact, particularly talented.
