Holy Crap! A 27 string guitar. So what would Grieg say?
Thanks to Stine for sending me a link to this dude.

I think ol' Grieg would be pretty happy with that interpretation.
Here's one of Pat Metheny on 42-string guitar:

It's good--but I like the Keith Medley one better.

Lots of groups have covered this song--Savatage, Rainbow, Who.
