    I'm not surprised it was the most difficult; Im not a guitarist but I've always felt that Steve Howe's guitar parts go to places most guitarists can't reach. You did great though.

      Thanks! Part of what makes it tough is the rapid switching between different parts and techniques. And of course just remembering what comes next!

    Beautiful rendition. Beautiful choice.
    I absolutely love the way that, after Chris' unique bass section at the beginning, Steve's guitar comes in quietly and then grows louder like he's walking in from a distance, slowly and in my mind like out of the distance up to Chris.
    Things like this are what makes Yes, IMO, the best band ever. That volume swell isn't to show how he shreds, or can do 100 time and key changes per second. It's to convey emotion and to serve the composition and hence, the listener. Shredding, key and time changes are used, but only when they enhance the composition, not for their own sake. This is something so many critics get wrong. Everything is to make a better song, not to impress and show off merely *technical* prowess. They have those abilities but [usually] don't use complexity for complexity's sake. Loud/soft, fast/slow, hard/soft, simple/complex and various moods all appear in all songs where needed.
    Sure, there are more technically advanced players.
    But no one comes close to using those skills to fulfill their brilliant compositions.

    • @randinmusic
      @randinmusic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes to all this! And I'll add that even when people criticize complexity for complexity's sake, I say... well, for some of us, it's FUN to challenge ourselves and make complex music. There's nothing wrong with that!

      It's true that this volume increase adds emotion. It makes me feel like i am in a spaceship and the sound of the guitar gets close from the sun

    • @jskypercussion

      Absolutely right. Yes wasn't technical just to be technical and make complex music, they expressed extreme musicality as well and the way it comes out is technical beauty and high expressions of musicality. The sounds and textures, the harshness and gentleness really create a mood and tell a story while taking you on a trip.

      ​@randinmusic Excellent cover and I have the same guitar by the way. I absolutely love it. It's my baby. I have had it for about 20 years now. I am a lefty. I was lucky to see it sitting on the shelf.

      @@jskypercussion Agree 100%. Music first. Simplicity/complexity/loud/quiet/fast/slow/hard/soft, whatever was needed. Contrast and dynamics. One cool thing for me was when I, at first, actually would dislike a song, and then over time begin to love it. That was an advantage of listening to entire albums. Especially cassettes. At college, every moment outside of class I had the headphones on. _They guy with the headphones_ . Since fast forwarding was bad for the tape and batteries, I would "suffer" through these songs. Then they became -- in some cases -- actually favorites, but at least liked very much.

    Insomniac man wakes up in the middle of the night, goes down in his jammies and plays along to Yes. I was doing this at 1.a.m. this morning but playing Starship Trooper. You did a great job and don't you love those HOTS chord changes in the middle. They're so soothing! I discovered when I started listening and watching more classical players including flamenco guitarists, my abilities to comprehend melody improved dramatically. Nice space you have there!

    • @randinmusic
      @randinmusic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha, thanks. Yep, that was me in my jammies in my basement studio. This was several years ago, but that's all day attire now!
      I thought about doing Starship Trooper, too. Hmm. I'm mostly doing stuff with a band now (th-cam.com/users/thediscographers) and don't really have all the pieces in place for Yes tunes unfortunately.

      Dave R Thanks much! I started this series of guitar cover videos after 26 years of playing specifically to get myself out of the plateau I was in. As a teen I saw ABWH play this in the late 80s but never learned it properly until the week leading up to this video. So don't give up!

    • @randinmusic
      @randinmusic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, thanks. Yeah, the guitar is a bit quiet in a few parts. But if I go back and remix any of these several years after I did them, that'd be an even sadder indication of not moving on past the midlife crisis. :P

  • @yes_head
    @yes_head 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks, and nice job. I don't think I've ever seen the guitar part isolated like this. It seems like everyone *else* in the band gets more of the spotlight compared to Steve. The guitar is really a textural element as much as a lead part, which must have been unusual for the early 70s.
