      Good observation. I was teaching in the 70's and some of my students wanted to learn Steve Howe licks. I told them that I couldn't really pin him down to some licks, but we'd write out (some) of his parts and then see how they related to the musical structure of the song. (As much a lesson for me as for them.) At that time I could play Mood for a Day, but I couldn't do the Chet Atkins style required for Clap.

    What a reminder of Steve's thorough grounding in various American styles of music and guitar playing. They inspired him right from the start. Listen to his first two solo albums "Beginnings" and "The Steve Howe Album" and then early Yes' ten minute version of Simon & Garfunkel's America. He is a wizard, always making the guitar serve musical composition in his playing and soloing, instead of the other way around, as too many guitarists eager to show off their technique do.

      First of all, thanks for liking this page. Few guitarists could cover this stuff - never mind guitarists that have developed world-class reputations as Howe has. This music style is actually his child-hood music and he caries it off immaculately well.
      With respect to "Close to the Edge" if you listen to Yesshows live version I have always believed that Howe's guitar is semi-improvised and is one of the most powerful song introductions ever. I would seriously put it with Beethoven's 5th, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Oldfield's Tubular Bells.

      @@hughmoss9884 If only there was away to put some soul into him, would be far more accurate. When you have musicians composing songs with the main aim to show off their virtuosity then they have no soul. Comparisons with Beck are plainly ridiculous, he never did an Asia or GTR or produced the dross that Howe was involved with. It is well documented that this is the music he grew up with along with the music of Atkins and that comes across on this performance because he is clearly enjoying himself. Very good guitarist, but not particularly an important one and one that lives off of the reputation from his early years.

    So grateful - for lack of a better word - That Steve Howe recognized the Genius of Les Paul, and ( I'm assuming ) made an effort to want to take the opportunity to play with Les .
    Without the likes of Les, there would be no Steve Howe.... What an amazing video, each Artist acknowledging the others' gift .

      Alot of people don't take YES serious. They think their music is too long winded and pretentious. Like alot of progressive bands, their short songs pop songs got them really noticed.

      In the 60's he used to play (British branch of) rhytm 'n' blues before moving to psychedelia. In the 70's he was already in Yes when he helped out bluesrock group Stone The Crows to fill their tour contracts after Leslie Harvey died to electric shock onstage due to faulty amplifier.

    Who remembers early YES photos of a young Steve Howe playing a Gibson es-175 or Birdland that looked like he was wrestling the guitar as it was almost bigger than him, he was fuc**** phenomenal back then, such a versitle guitarist, Look at all his material Yes, Asia, GTR etc. Great great player. And not to forget Les was the god before we had guitar gods, Les and Edward Van Halen were good friends it would have been something to see them play together !

    • @skierpage
      @skierpage 6 років тому +3

      Sure some Les Paul in Steve Howe's country licks, but a whole lotta Wes Montgomery and Jeff Beck too. Steve Howe takes it to another level compositionally. Those guitar solos move Yes songs from one section to another, while most country and blues just jam in one place.

      And yet all the music media hacks do is fawn all over Jimi, Jimi, JIMI as if there has never been nor will there EVER BE, anyone higher.
      Steve Howe IS and always will be ‘The Maestro.’

    • @skierpage
      @skierpage 6 років тому

      There can't be anyone "higher". Jimi took the electric guitar further than anyone else has, every electric guitarist is playing in his footsteps. That's not to say there can't be "better" guitarists. John Mayer plays "Wait Until Tomorrow" "better" than Jimi, and I think Steve could outplay Jimi on pedal steel, classical, dobro, flamenco, ... ;-)

    And this is why I think Steve’s the best guitarist , period ...
    I’ve seen lots of people that played at the club , but Steve really honors Les !
    The only other one is of course , the fantastic Jeff Beck , who did that show after Les died with Imelda Mae ... Jeff is well , Jeff ...

    • @alexjung9724
      @alexjung9724 3 роки тому +1

      You read my mind! Les, Howe, and Beck are 1-3 in my book (in no particular order). Jimmy Page and Django have got to be in the convo as well. Derek Trucks has become quite godly as well... And don't forget Zappa! But they all play different styles so I won't bother comparing, I'll just be blessed that we have all of them to choose from!
