Solsbury Hill?

When Dave and Friends covered this tune did Dave play or just sing? The copy i've got I can only hear an electric playing the main riff. I guess i'm looking for a decent solo guitar tab for the song. Anyone know how Peter Gabriel plays it?

Gabriel plays acoustic along with the piano or vice versa. At D&F, Dave played acoustic and sang, ray played piano, timmy played an accompanying part on electric, and trey might have doubled dave's part on electric until the part where he cranked up the destortion for the power chords near the end.

guitartabs.cc has a decent tab of the gabriel version.

guitartabs.cc has a decent tab of the gabriel version.

and Dave taps on the guitar and sings.

Dave does play at all? Are you kidding? Damn, the guitar part isn't that hard. i could see why he would not want to play the guitar part for american tune, but solsbury hill? Thats weak.

I doubt it was because it was too hard for him - perhaps he feared the song would sound too 'busy' if they all played.

Could be, but I like the song acoustic better.

Did anyone ever find a good tab for this song?

I just said there was a good one on guitartabs.cc
Enter peter gabriel into the search and find the tab.

It's kind of boring without the piano/keyboard.
I can play it acoustic but sounds lame without singing to it.

I watched it the other night. Dave was not playing at all during the intro or verse
