First track off of "The Yes Album".
One of the most difficult parts of this song, for me, were the quick bits played on the E string. During the verses, it's the same part played over G, then A and finally A#. While it's a simple part, it's a little quick for me to play finger-style. When I'm about to play something quick, I tend to tense up and play harder, which are the two things I really don't want to be doing as both will slow me down and put me at a much greater risk of choking. I really had to focus on relaxing and not digging in too much while playing those parts. - เพลง

Excellent....keep the YES covers coming!!!
ka hafa Thanks.
YES! You're amazing dude, making that Jazz sound like a Rick with a Pick!
no clue how I missed this one all these years. love it
It's about time! Thanks.
Was listening to yours is no disgrace today and thinking "I should learn to play that, maybe that channel I like had already posted a cover" and here I am! Your channel is awesome!
Excellent! I hope you find it helpful. Thanks.
Most of my favorite players are pickers but I've never had any success using one myself. I've had to augment certain parts to make finger-style work but I try and stay as true to the original as I can. Certain songs, like "Heart of the Sunrise" may remain completely out of my range.
No picks on basses!
I come from the future and Im telling you now: you DID GREAT with Heart of the Sunrise! Maestro
@@SQCGirl why not?
@@DannyBoi2112 not really serious, but I love watching bass players and it doesn’t look right to me when they use a pick. 😀
@@SQCGirl Chris squire, the worlds greatest bassist used one.
TJH3113. You are amazing. I saw YES for the first time around 1972 and 50 years later, would never have imagined that I would now be learning bass guitar at age 65!!! Watching you play gives me motivation, and inspiration to try! This is one of my all time favorite songs by YES, and even if I only learn a few bits of this, I will be so happy, and grateful to you for doing it. Love all your videos!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks so much JoAnn. Congratulations on taking up the bass and welcome to our world. I have to tell you that I've gotten many comments from people who have decided to take up the bass later in life and it is always so nice to hear. I've actually been thinking of doing a video on the topic. Try hard. Do your best. And understand that the satisfaction will come from playing through your frustration. I am not talented. I just have (when it comes to playing bass) an enormous amount of patience. Everything I do comes from practice and repetition. Play the things that challenge you, but when you find yourself becoming discouraged or overly frustrated, switch over to something you don't struggle so hard with and just enjoy it. For instance, "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" by CCR has been on my daily playlist for some time now. I could play it with my eyes (and ears) closed, but I enjoy playing it, every time I play it. As far as learning long, difficult pieces goes, yes, learn what parts you can. Make up what you can't figure out. And just string things together as they come along. Every song comes together differently, but they all start with the first note and end with the last one.
@@TJH3113 thank you so much. You are a Killer bass blayer!!!! I can only hope to do the basic stuff. You are a rock god player, for sure. Thanks so much for your encouragement!!!! I will keep trying. And I LOVE YES. And chris squire. Thank you for keeping this music alive!!!!
I think Chris Squire did more to bring the bass to the front in rock music than anyone else did. He also does it without taking over the song.
From punchy to silky smooth with "spot on" tempo and precision. Just absolutely fun to watch and a inspirational mentor by which to learn. Such style! I do believe I've ran out of adjectives. You are a very talented bassist. Another fantastic cover. Great musical taste in your choice of covers. Beautiful instruments to boot. Thanks for making the time to share!
For the numbers of times i've requested it... Finally man!
Great cover, great song, great band!
You are totally awesome. What a great rendition. This really increases my appreciation for this bass line.
Wonderful! Extremely complex, brilliant! Your sound, your style, there is only hear you enjoy. a real treat!
I'm now learning this song, and I knew instantly who I should watch first. Thanks Troy!
This is an old one, isn't it?
@@TJH3113 Might be, but I had to learn this one and you're the only one I trust lmao, I might post a video trying to play the whole thing later this week
tom & I went on a tour of your sacred room. I call it a museum. We both enjoyed it very much and appreciated your extensive knowlede of all the precious items on display. thank you Troy. You da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Marvine.
@@TJH3113 Tom is taking me to Santa Cruz for a few days. Will write when we return. Marvine :-)
Dude you are sick on that Bass!!!!! Awsome Chris Squire cover!!!!
1st time I've heard this one. Great song. I love your description also, it's helpful to know the process by which you arrive at the final cut. Best to you and the fam!
Brilliant as usual!
Excellent! You played it so clean! Great job.
It’s great hear these tracks in a ‘bass-first’ format, so to speak.
Thanks, Paul
Going to Yes on friday in Philly, wanted to make sure I can appreciate it in all its (morning )glory! Thank u!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! If you ever get the chance to see Jon Anderson with The Band Geeks don't pass it up. Take care!
Completely accurate and well-played. Love this whole album. Hope you are doing well health-wise these days. Take care man.
Great cover of a great song, as always!
Thanks a lot. I've always been a fan of maple fretboards myself and black blocks rock.
Excellent job Troy.
I love every note of this, amazing cover!
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks Sage!
Man, great job on this. Seen a bunch of your vids. Great, great stuff. Love the bass you're using here. Black/black+maple board= my favorite look.
Great job as always!
as a Rush & Yes fan I must say: great job (as usually). congrats.
Nice to see you reply. I play a fretless and have followed Yes since day one. YEP. What I like is how smooth you play. No tweaked out facial moves. All that. Really clean. Singing with it gave me unbelievable respect for the late Mr. Squires' true abilities. Multi faceted simultaneous..... DAMN! It's not easy to sing in opposite of the notational flow timing. No day dreaming! Good mind set training. You play him straight up. NICE
I always try my best to respond. I'm sure some people can't help but pull porno faces when they play but it wouldn't come naturally to me. Big truth about his playing/singing talents. Thanks a lot.
Brilliant…I am an old fart trying to learn how to play again after 40 yrs plus…can't figure out much yet, practicing scales, modes, arpeggios, but nothing like this…awesome….!
Thanks. Keep at it and play what you enjoy playing.
You're great, Troy!! Fantastic job. Happy New Year to you :))
Marvellous!! As always
Great Job Troy!
Love that song too!
Nice work, Troy! I need a nap after that...that's a lot of notes to remember!!
I got to tell you you make it look very easy. Great job. Great Song.
Cheers.
Thanks Ron.
So far, so good.
Love this song! Wish you would get more attention I love your stuff and just got into yes as a long time rush fan. Keep up the good work!
That's great to hear. I am fine with the amount of attention I get. It allows me to still respond to each comment personally.
Thanks a lot, I will try.
Take care.
Great job as always, hoping to hear you do Sound Chaser someday :)
Great stuff. Love this song
Excellent!!
Excellent, and my favorite record.
Thanks.
That was quite awesome!!! Not a single mistake that I could hear.
wow , i thought this song was hard to play, now i have no doubt in my mind lolo !!! great job !!
haha. Thanks.
Don't think my comment went through, Thanks for your playing and videos, I appreciate great Bass Players n teachers and you Troy are the Best. Cally Caine Bassist in L.A. you rock.:+)
Thanks. That was nice of you to say.
I love the Yes covers! Squire, and yourself, rock so much! Heart of the Sunrise would be a good one hahah Cheers :)
Great playing. My favourite too.
+mepsley Thanks.
Well done on this one....we used to play it back in the 70s....took me a while to learn it and then had to transpose it down a few semitones....I think I had to count to 27 to keep me in time in the instrumental break!
Thank you. Wow, I couldn't imagine learning it in another key! Haha... I hear you.
Awesome playing🤘👍
Thanks ✌️
I agree 100% with your first statement but think he came dangerously close to taking over a song or two in his day. Not that there's anything wrong with that from time to time.
recently got roku and i am a big yes fan stumbled on to your bass cover series. totally impressed i cant wait to listen to the other yessongs you should be in a yes tribute band or maybe with the passing of squire be in yes itself. i really appreciate your talent.
Thanks a lot. The YES covers have been some of the most challenging that I've done since I play finger-style and Chris was a pick-master. I'm not sure if I'd be up to the task of playing a full set of their songs. Thanks for the kind words.
in the 70s i was in a band that played roundabout,yours is no disgrace,your move and all good people. our bass player went from finger-style to pick-master because he admired chris so much. watching you kind of made me realize that he really did not have to change and just how intricate the bass parts in yes are. i was the lead singer and i realize after watching you just how much work was involved for him to play those parts. i also discovered yesterday that your catalog of bass covers is much bigger than just yessongs i listened to teacher,dont stop believing,do you believe in love and i plan in time to listen to all your covers. yesterday was my birthday and in someway your efforts, talent and hard work was my favorite birthday present.
Happy Birthday! And thanks again for the kind words.
Great job, congratulations. Great bass sound. Thanks for share. Yes music is in a very complex framework.
Thanks a lot!
WOW!!! AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING JOB My Friend!!! Absolutely LOVED watching this one!!! (and THANK-YOU for adding a bit of personalization to it at 1:35,takin a nice sip of java to help PUSH YOU through all those "quick-bit" parts!!! LOL.) Till next time........
Bravo! Marvellous!
Thank you very much.
I love your vids! Theatrical masks not withstanding, your playing is so in the groove! Keep them coming!
OK.....I dig the masks!
I looked and looked...DID NOT SEE the part Squire played with the coffee cup. I surmise it is coffee although it should be tea I think. So lets go with tea. Too casual...makes it perfect. You are a much cleaner player than others offering the same. Spot on my man. No need to reply.
Was I sipping away during this one? Always coffee. Thank you, but I always try to reply.
Coffee! Nice. You could at least black out or pixelate the mask of my girlfriend. Nice collection lol
Wow. Surprised you've never heard this before.
Thanks, I had to write something.
The best to you and yours as well.
I am always deeply impressed with anyone who plays squire without a pick. I find pick playing very difficult, but most YES pieces difficult to copy with fingers.
I enjoyed, awesome job!!!
Thanks a lot.
Excellent! And good advice about staying relaxed for the fast part (I’m a guitarist & tend to tense up for fast parts).
Thank you very much!
i just love the sound of this black jazz of yours, and i don't know what, but there's something different about the sound of this jazz compared to the other one
I agree. I think it has to do with where the frets are...or to the point at which they are worn down to. It gives the bass a bit of "crunch" and "sizzle" that that the other one cannot get.
amazing!
Great job dude!
Thank you!
Damn that was awesome. Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Thank you kindly.
Marvellous!
Sorry Troy, this is a very old videos. The cover band I was in wanted to do this song. (I am 70 now) . Now I considered myself as a c-plus bass player, maybe a B on a good night. It took me about 4 weeks to learn this song on my vinyl record player, (way before TH-cam tutorials lol. For this one song, I thought I was an A bass player. Thanks for showing me I was pretty close.
You get an A+ from me! Thanks for the great comment, Larry.
That was totally Rocking!
Thanks Steph.
Thank you very much.
Cool. The guitar sounds pretty wild.
Great job especially without a pick, great playing!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Thank you very much.
Your English is very beautiful. I understood every word.
Thanks a lot.
I haven't watched any of your vids for a while. I used to watch your Rush covers when I was first learning bass. I've been teaching myself for 7 years or so. I'm 53 now. I Started late. We've talked before. You said your first Rush show was right before mine got cancelled at Cape Cod Coliseum? Anyway I've been learning this Yes tune this week. Came cross your cover. Immediately, I thought cool, This guys got it. Your musical taste seems similar to mine anyways. I notice a certain Geddy style in your playing here. Granted your playing it without the pick. I never have learned to use a pick in my playing, which I probably should have by now. Sounds cool the way you throw in the Geddy style triplets with your fingers. That's kind of how I've developed too. I love your talent on the bass. Your VERY good. .
It's never too late. I've long used triplets to create the illusion of speed. They are a handy tool to have in your arsenal. Thank you so much for the kind words, I really do appreciate them.
Great cover! To have a more relaxed right hand, I hang the bass fairly low and I play with a very light touch. This way the wrist remains almost straight. This technique allows me to play fast for a long time without any stress at all.
Just like Dee Dee, except for the light touch! 👍👍👍
@@martymcfly8733 Sort of. 😂
Who in the f**k gave this a thumbs down? This is an amazing cover! WTF is wrong with you people?
Thanks.
jajajajajaa... 8:12 you nailed that mr.howe's harmonic...niceeeeyy!!!😀😀😀
I had to look at what you were talking about. Haha.
Thank you.
You have quite an ear. To hear all those details is beyond what most people ever notice. As an ex- bass player I heard some things here you did that I never was aware of. Those black fret markers freak me out. I'm all into the dots, especially the double dots at the octave to keep things organized.
Thank you for the kind words. I actually like the blocks, myself.
God Bless you!!
And you too!
Thanks Jim.
dont put yourself down you are fantastic!!!!!
Thanks.
I really like this cover, because your bass sounds more like the original copy of TYA I used to have. Somewhere along the way it seems like the bass was turned down in a remaster because it doesn’t stand out quite as much. It’s even more noticeable on Starship Trooper. Anyway, great job!
I don't know what TYA is. Thanks a lot.
The Yes Album :)
Lots of "stuff" to memorize on that one. NIce job Dr. Smoothe! Doesn't get any better than that.......unless your Squire himself!!
Gracias.
Wowwwww fantastic... I love thos song. Man please start a band and come to play in Brazil. You are so good. Thx!!!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it.
Will you do Heart of the Sunrise? And You And I? You're awesome man!
Jason Campus "Heart..." might be impossible to do finger-stlye and I'm not very familiar with the other one. I'll check it out. Thanks.
No problem man, hey, I wish we could be Facebook or email friends, I have a band with all original music you might like, or I hope you might like!! My email is jcampus2095@gmail.com, I would love to send you some songs to listen too!
TJH3113 most of heart of the sunrise is "do-able" finger style.....there was tab for it in a bp rag around '07 ......it's around 12 pages long so converting is a tad time consuming if you only read dots......i have it .....if you want a copy i can snail mail it,but you may want to figure out an alternative,more secure way to address it......
Odd for someone so good as Yes baselines to not be familiar with the Close to the Edge album, as it is their most well respected album afterall
@@TJH3113 I promise you it's not impossible. I used to do it back when I was a teenager as practice for orchestra class. Its hard but not difficult.
Thanks for the compliment but there are plenty of people with tone and technique better that mine out there.
Feeling good. My one year post-treatment anniversary was in October and I got the all clear. The first year is an important one.
Thanks a lot. I like the Ric but find it to be a very temperamental instrument, requiring constant adjustments. I also think it has a very unique sound that does not work for some applications. I find it easier to get the sound I'm looking for out of the Jazz basses and find them a little more comfortable to play as well.
Well done and without a pick
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. Actually Mr. Squire does own a Fender Jazz bass and brings it on the road with him. He recorded the song "Going For The One" using his Jazz bass instead of his Ric and sometimes uses it onstage for this song. b.t.w., would love to see you cover Yes' "Silent Wings Of Freedom" with your Ric.
Love the eyebrow raise!!!
Just making sure people are playing attention.
Thanks a lot. Most of my favorite players have been pick users. I think that might have had something to do with my trying to develop a crisp, articulate style of playing. It has its downside. At times it can come across as a bit "stiff".
great job your a real trooper......opps!
Thank you so much for the very kind words.
Thanks.
I think you're right.
Thanks.
I think Soundchaser is a little out of the finger-style realm but I'll check on it.
My favorite part is when you drink coffee during the rest!! Nice job.
I think that was my favorite part too. Thanks.
Thanks. Just the bass into a SansAmp Bass Driver into a small Fender SP-10 guitar amp which is miked to pick up the bass and the music.
