@@Thundergod- I was being somewhat facetious....but you're right, Steve never fit truly in with the other members since he kinda considered himself an 'outsider' with the band. He grew up very introverted, never attended public schools like Tony, Mike and Peter. But in the end, it's the same story as so many others like Steve who decide to leave....and that is, just not enough of his (Steve's) creative material was finding it's way onto Genesis Albums.

I can't get my head around how Steve and the other members of Genesis were writing such complex music when they were like 18 or 19 years old. They are all geniuses on their instruments.
@@iangarner8857 Yeah that's true. I wouldn't really file that one under "complex" like you were suggesting though, it certainly wasn't made at the heights of their abilities. I'll admit I'm splitting hairs though, they still made remarkable music at a very young age.
It was the British school system. Musical talent was considered prestigeous within British society so any kid that had some potential (or even if they didn't) was encouraged with strict lessons, at school and at home. The same was true of the VH brothers. Any that say they were self-taught is usually only half-true. It really just means that they went againt the grain and learned the blues or rock and roll on their own from listening to the records.
The thing I love about Steve is that he believes in the "less is more" thing. What I mean is that he has written a vast amount of music and fantastic songs, but a great many of those songs don't incorporate "out front" solos. He simply does what is required to create beautiful music. He holds so much back in reserve because we all know that, when required, he can blow down walls with brilliant solos. So humble and reserved...a great guy.
@@Thundergod- Exactly ! I've read this about Peter Gabriel, and Carl Emerson too ! They were "very underrated" in a youtube comment. TH-cam is always funny :)
Steve is one of the most kind and humble musicians I have ever met. it has been my pleasure to welcome him as a guest on my show 4 times now. The last time we spoke it was about his book A Genesis in my bed. I highly suggest reading it. For anyone that's interested in hearing the interview feel free to join my Facebook page. Waxx Traxx to the MAXX on wusb.fm NY.
For the record Eddie Van Halen never said he invented tapping, that was ascribed to him! Eddy's extreme Talent allowed him to incorporate tapping into many of his solos which to me are quite memorable. Bottom line guitarists work with a limited amount of cliches that are played over and over again. What makes a unique guitarist is how these cliches are utilized. Clearly Eddie Van Halen and Steve Hackett were able to creatively use this technique in a way that was truly brilliant.
wow...its really encouraging when you see that you have things in common with a major rock star and hero like Steve Hacket. I didnt realise it when I went to see him in concert, but I realise it now I watched this video. All those years practicing and learning...blood...sweat and tears to realise it was all to get closer to perfection like him. Yes I am proud of our thing in common, and it will spur me on to greater heights What is it (I hear you ask) Well its this. I have the exact same Fender Guitar strap!
Such a gentleman, and so eloquent. This is no doubt one of the best sources of information on the instrument, technique and even history. Really what a jewel, and all of it in slightly more than 10 minutes.
Mr. Steve Hackett , I am a musician. Me daughter Rachel is a great musician. My Son Junior Charles J.Heberling as well. My daughter Courtney lives in Brighton England. I love Genesis. However Neil Young is my hero. I your age. Mr Banks inspired me. Music keeps you young. Keep trilling. It is a gift on the guitar. Peace, Rock ON
Thank you so much Mr Hackett for these incredible lessons. Unlike so many other great guitarists, you feel free to share your skills with us. I also aspire to play the electric guitar like you some day.
maybe Hillage isn't as technically as good as the other famous Steve's from this era but his stuff was just as "out there " - checkout " rovo feat System 7 , Phoenix Rising 2007 " . UPLIFTING IS THE HILLFISH ☺☺
Footage of Steve in action should be required watching for any guitar player! His playing is so tasteful and the technical aspects are always in service of the music
A true master and innovator. I have also a Fernandes guitar, from years ago, feeling absolutely satisfied, so I sold all the others I had. So precise and well crafted...japanese wizards
It is so entertaining to watch you do this now. Thank you. Back in my teen years, it drove me nearly insane to capture all the things you did in our cover band. 40 years later, I can laugh now!
Brilliant Steve, keeping the early Genesis fire burning, thank you! As for tapping, yes, Steve obviously predated EVH but was not the first rock player to use the technique; that would have been Harvey Mandel. As for Eddie, you can read in detail how he really connected to tapping in Greg Renoff's fantastic book "Van Halen Rising"; a bit of a spolier, but the EVH tapping lineage is as follows: Harvey Mandel>>to Terry Kilgore via lessons>>Terry Kilgore to EVH>> via woodshedding & hanging out together. It is unlikely that EVH was aware of Steve Hackett's earlier & limited usage of the technique.
... The real thing... He's still publishing good albums and collaborations, such as playing with Djabe and others, quite good the last several years. I've never seen anyone else playing a Fernandes (Japanese) guitar. "It's all about the sustain."
note 1 of my 2 Fernandes guitars in my avatar, 2002 Raven Elite w/ sustainer, built for me at their LA custom shop ... I feel connected to you Steve, my fav player!

I've only watched the first couple of minutes or so but already I have an idea as to why I often did not recognize the guitar in many Genesis tracks (and some other bands for that matter).
I think he is highly rated, by people in the circle of great music. If you love music, and he is on your list, you understand the diffrence of good music and great music. Like a good cigar soaked in cognac and it is fermented year of great taste after another- one does not just smoke it, you savor it, let it resonate, and just.. enjoy.
People giving shit to EVH saying that he did not invent tapping when he never claimed to have invented it. He just mastered the technique by himself and used it in a more creative and versatile way. Obviously Steve was doing this technique way before EVH in the same way but I think both guitarists deserve the same appreciation since they found out how to do this technique properly by themselves and without knowing each other. EVH did not know about Steve when he started tapping.
First of all you are my favorite ever guitarist. And I’m a guitarist as well and love so many different players of all styles. You never seem to mention you use no guitar pick ! Lastly I find it interesting of all the straps you could have ,you have the standard Fender strap ..lol Ok , love you and your playing Steve .Thank You.
I'm English, and I was reading the subtitles! So Steve can speak in English, and it's the same in French! Who would of thunk it. The music crosses borders. He's so talented.
I never had a volume pedal, so I would use my volume knob at the same time as playing. Quite tricky! After 25 years of playing, you'd think I would have invested in one...
There is actually a taped note in the solo on All Right Now by Paul Kossoff. i once thought i was the inverter of the first acoustic phaser/flanger (i first used a cornflakes box but modified it to a book) and then i heard an early recording by Django (40's i think) and there on the end of the track was him phasing the sound of his acoustic guitar. Anything we do on guitar has probably been done before, good fun all the same. i was never into Mr Hackett's playing, and sadly time has changed nothing.
I would like to know if it possible to use a sustainer without the pick up set on the guitar. Maybe it's possible to use a pedal to get the same effect? Thanck you for the response from Steve or other.
In a way Steve Hackett got the fate of the Russian explorer Semyon Dezhnev. The latter was the first European to sail through the Bering Strait, 80 years before Vitus Bering did. However the strait was named after Bering. Similarly most of the people link taping with Edie Van Halen though Hacket did it before him.
Great Musician ... I think Eddie Van Halen must have learned tapping from Steve Hackett... Van Halen was originally named Genesis ... Genesis played in LA touring in the early 70’s ... I can picture the Van Halen’s going to check out some English band of the same name to see if they were any good and if they needed to change their band name...I think they were blown away and it inspired EVH, but realized they now had to change the band name. .. just a possibility maybe.
" You invented tapping not van halen" It's a very old technique going back at least to the 30's, Vittorio has been doing it since the 50's, Eddie never invented it, Just did it better than anyone else up till that time th-cam.com/video/cWQF9FdAr1A/w-d-xo.html
Are there any rock guitar players that were two hand tapping before Steve Hackett? I am curious who was the first rock guitar play to do it. Here are videos of Hackett doing two hand tapping live in 1973. These links start at the point he is two hand tapping. th-cam.com/video/DaY4r_9xIOI/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/-GXQTEtAc1w/w-d-xo.html
Steve Hackett I have play the guitar, keyboards. etc. You can trill. I am 60 come back to Rochester, NY. The lilac festival. My 33 older daughter. RAYE BLACK can play with your band. I rock on everyday. Look her up on you tube. My name is Charles J. Heberling. My offspring are all musicians. Dancing out like the moonlight night. Sorry. However, I am a fan of the slide guitar. I was born on George Harrison's birthday. Me sister was too. February 25th. My favorite is Blood on the Rooftops. Best song. Steve you have the Spanish guitar the best. I am a fan.
Not so modest in private at work..for a long time he was close to tyrannical in Genesis making tantrums when things where not going is way...he joke's about it himself today... He is the main reason behind the departures of Gabriel and Hackett...
A real musician, sadly now in the 2020s only the legions are capable, seemingly music is in decline were lyrics use profanities and everything is based on a beat machine.
I sat in the dentists office Thursday for four hours. The whole time they had a modern station and 19 of 20 songs were auto-tune and the same cadence as all of those songs. I was trapped. And the three of them kept saying "didn't they just play that song?". When I finally got free at the end I pointed out how they kept saying that, and that it's because they are all autotune songs and they all sound the same.

If only he could've foresaw how big Genesis were to become a few short yrs later in the 80's, I'm sure he never would've left.
Can't forget the outro to "The Lamia"
@@corkydukeII5898 Steve never fit in with the poppy Genesis of the 80's and he was never in it for the money so IMO your'e dead wrong....

Well, like, 21 or 22, but yeah, close enough.
@@rizz7604 From Genesis to Revelation came out in 1969 when they were 19. I know Steve and Phil aren't on that.
@@iangarner8857 Yeah that's true. I wouldn't really file that one under "complex" like you were suggesting though, it certainly wasn't made at the heights of their abilities. I'll admit I'm splitting hairs though, they still made remarkable music at a very young age.
They were rich and talented

'Selling England by the Pound' is my go to album by Genesis.
But then again, all the Genesis's albums with Steve Hackett are fantastic!
Probably one of the greatest albums ever made

Für mich sind das alles fantastische Musiker, die zeigen, was man alles bewirken kann.
One of my absolute favorite guitarists. Supper's Ready, Dancing Out With the Moonlit Knight; there are so many great songs he has done.
A "Slogans" fragment at 8'33''. May the Gods preserve "Maestro" Steve Hackett forever! This man tranformed a guitar into a synthesizer back in 1971

I´m your number one fan !!!
What a humble Man!
Steve Hackett vs EVH 1 - 0

My favorite guitarist, Creator of what I like to call the Ghost Guitar
So many of his contributions were crucial for Genesis. My favourite is his powerful solo at the end of
"The Lamia" on The Lamb.
Brilliant, Steve. 🤗

Erick McNerney Absolutely unnecessary.Rock on!🔥✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨🇨🇦
That's the way I did it. When I first started playing electric. You live and learn.
Walter Trout was fond of this technique, I used to see him a lot in the 90s.
1:51 It has that amazing King Crimson flavour to it....
I love Hackett, a nice guy ! Genesis cracked it with this guy !
Great, GREAT Musician.
The Man!!!
fantastic!!!
Amazing what a talent.
Super interview comme d'hab !! mais, "cela proviens avec un S ! " waouh lol 3'54", ça c'est du tapping orthographique !!
Looking good Steve - sounding great as always
Fraz Milne I think it’s the solid state amp he’s using probably really tiny
Simply GOD on Earth...
Excellent thanks for sharing!
great Steve hackett
Overlooked great guitarist

genio em absoluto !!!!!
A genius of the guitar
How candid. I agree, there's a difference between being able to read music and playing by ear. Reading music slows me down too.
Maestro!!!
the original metal guitarist -.-
you rock steve!
Hackett to pieces 😎
I love his bend vibrato! I cant do it, but Im going to make it
LEGEND
guitar Fernandes , like a Gibson Gold top , one of the best sound of guitar .
I would like to know if it possible to use a sustainer without the pick up set on the guitar. Maybe it's possible to use a pedal to get the same effect? Thanck you for the response from Steve or other.

I am sorry if you don’t like Steve Hackett, you are not a guitar player🔥
We want the back Guitar of The Carpet Crawlers from the Shine Auditorium Los Angeles in 1975, Is a different riff respect the Vinil Album.
Master Hackett
ça vaut plus que les tutos à la noix des plus connus
Steve Hackett est une référence malheureusement trop peu considérée.
anybody know the year of the guitar?

These Fernandes are modern guitars, from what I recall it's a 2002 model.

Steve Hackett I have play the guitar, keyboards. etc. You can trill. I am 60 come back to Rochester, NY. The lilac festival. My 33 older daughter. RAYE BLACK can play with your band. I rock on everyday. Look her up on you tube. My name is Charles J. Heberling. My offspring are all musicians. Dancing out like the moonlight night. Sorry.
However, I am a fan of the slide guitar. I was born on George Harrison's birthday. Me sister was too. February 25th. My favorite is Blood on the Rooftops. Best song. Steve you have the Spanish guitar the best. I am a fan.
I think Tony banks is the most modest man in the band and ironically the most talented .
Not so modest in private at work..for a long time he was close to tyrannical in Genesis making tantrums when things where not going is way...he joke's about it himself today...
He is the main reason behind the departures of Gabriel and Hackett...
Needs a spot of reverb, it helps the "free standing vibrato" just ask Jeff Beck, get my drift Steve?

He should have never left Genesis.
But his solo stuff is amazing too!
Wrong, he absolutely had to - can you imagine him wanting to play shit like "I Can't Dance"?
Way Unrated! He's so good & tasty too.
More tasty than a Bacon Cheese Whopper ? :/
No Hackett, no Genesis.
