I think I can play quite well the tapping solos from Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, but I'm too lazy to make a video of myself. Maybe later... It's rather easy anyway, if you're not an absolute beginner.

It's really not that hard... the electric guitar does well the trick... that hard part was perhaps to CREATE the solos... playing them is the easiest part IMO

Sonic Mat:  That's actually pretty good!
 
Now all you need to learn is to look like playing the solo is causing you great pain.
 
I've seen Steve H play several times and this is a characteristic he shares with many great guitarists.
 
Go for the cross between, the: "my neighbour has just brought the mangled body of my beloved cat he just mowed over" look and the: "I have had all the tips of my fingers removed and I still have to play this solo" look and you'll be pretty much there!
 
Great stuff! Clap

I can play The Knife and The Musical Box and some fragments of other Genesis-songs. It is really not that difficult.

By the way, I love Hackett's style. Clap

I think there are a lot of people who play Horizons pretty good. I know I do ;) It's a solo, right? Anyway, it's just consentrating on certain notes that make it sound like Hackett. Play along the tracks, not the tabs and you'll get it.
