Solsbury Hill is a very deceptive song to learn to play on guitar...first of all, on the album, there are two guitar playing, not one. And in concert, there are always more people playing the guitar part on other instruments other than just David Rhodes on guitar, sometimes Tony Levin on Chapman Stick, a 10 stringed instrument that he can play both bass and lead guitar or chords at the same time. So usually, there is one guitar playing the chords, and another guitar or instrument playing the lead. Or sometimes reversed...I've seen Peter Gabriel in concert 4 times now...and they like to rework Solsbury Hill almost every tour.
Most of the attempts at teaching this song try to mush the two of the parts together, making it a very challenging song to learn, and when you then learn it and try to compare it to the album, it always sounds subtly wrong...
