where's a good place to start learning some marillion tunes?

racefaceec90

steve rothery has to be in my top 3 of fav guitarists,but it has been ages since listening to any marillion.

have always wanted to try and play some of his music though.

what might you recommend as something to begin with (not too difficult ;-)

I used to have site bookmarked that had a lot of tabbed Marillion tracks but it seems to be down at the moment. 

I only wanted to do some simple bit,  Sugar Mice, Afraid of Sunlight (into),  a crack at the Fantastic place solo.

Couldn't get my fingers around the arpeggio's.

Made Again, from Brave is a gentle stum-along,  afraid thats about the best level I got.

Hey - I bit my tongue on this!

There are a lot of women in their 20's called Kayleigh so as a musical chat up line I would start there. Might be also be a song you might use in a band situation that isn't a Marillion tribute act. I should also imagine you could find the tabs for it ( if needed).

1982?

Is nobody else going to do this? No, ok, I guess I'll have to:




Tongue firmly in cheek, mind. I'm a big fan of both bands, even if the guitar part for He Knows You Know really is basically Follow You Follow Me twisted a little bit, just like the title!

Marillion = Awesomes

Not much help but felt I had to show my solidarity.

I had a bootlegged Marillion rehearsal from about 1981 where they cover "I Know What I Like".

Just booked a ticket for the Steve Rothery solo tour next year (Robin 2) :-)

I have tickets for Rothers London Gig at Bush Hall.  An album that was funded via Kickstarter,  apparently the fastest funded project ever in the UK and the 3rd fasted worldwide.

Marillion have released albums every couple of years since the 80s.  The last in 2012 "Sounds That Cant be Made" was followed by a world tour.  Members are working on solo projects this year and will be recording a new album later in the year.

Their fan base is huge and continues to grow.   They are one of the best live bands, and they have an incredible connection to fans via their own website and forum as well as Facebook and twitter.  

Knock then as you will, but they broke free of their record company EMI years ago so they could make the music they wanted and not be forced to produce music at the behest of a corporate management company.
