1404 Jethro Tull - Velvet Green

1404 Jethro Tull - Velvet Green

From: Songs From The Wood, Year: 1977

Genre: Progressive Rock/Folk Rock

From the songs that I've tried to play from the band, this has to be one of the hardest, if not their most difficult, to play. Probably what makes this song the most problematic is the odd time signatures, which are all over the place. After taking that into account then you have to deal with very complex melodies and counter-lines, but in the end this is an awesome track.
