He is a Phenomenal guitar player. As-a-kid, I remember the Jazz Musicians in NYC telling me: "Rock-players are good, (not great) Except Steve Howe from Yes . . . that guy can play with anyone" "He is a master guitarist" - True story.

I can remember Fragile coming out, buying it and being enthralled as only a 15 year old boy can be! I saw the tour in Bristol and it was magical. They really were the most incredibly talented group, individually and collectively.

The Moody Blues had kicked that door open for many of us well before we heard Yes. "Days of Future Passed" was released in 1967, the year before the first iteration of Yes was formed.

I didnt care much for the album when it came out, but as a young guitarist, the challenge of playing the songs on that album changed my perspective immediately! Roundabout was extremely interesting but I had a more fondness for south side of the sky. Taking the lead solo near the end of that song was where I fully appreciated his artistry. Moving forward to gates of deliruim and sound chaser I strongly suggested for my then band members to step up the game!
A lot of great guitarists have graced this planet. Steve is one of those guys that actually stretched the boundaries of guitar playing...on a number of levels.

I think YES was one of my first live concert experiences . . . either YES or King Crimson . . . back in 1972. Was a great album to listen to after smoking a little of this or that. I just played it on Amazon HD a couple days ago for grins.

Steve Howe, to me, is by far the best guitar player that has ever walked the planet...God Blessed Him beyond that of which we know musically...So Etheric and technical and spiritual beyond the dream state...Pure Love, Steve Howe Changed my life as a musician. He's all in "ONE". I have been fortunate enough, to have worked with musician's, and producers who have worked with YES as members in my bands. So We Are All Family With YES. Thank you all members of YES for bringing, and sharing the best Music Human Beings Have Ever Heard....Yes is the Band to share with the youth of today. So they know what real music is, and where it can take you.
True that Kevin. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Steve Howe has certainly influenced me. I learned "Mood for a Day" decades ago, and it's still a song that requires using good technique,
but to call him "by far the best that has ever walked the planet" is just a ridiculous claim.

One of the greatest guitarists of the last 60 years. Why doesn't Steve Howe get talked about more? Fragile was an amazing album and Roundabout one of the top 10 or so songs of all time
Indeed Joe! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Steve WAS one of the best guitarists in the 70s (yessongs is the best live guitar album from that period) but something went wrong with his playing after the Drama album. It lost it's attack and energy. Maybe it was to do with 10 years of not eating meat?
@@yaxyaxbaby or maybe he's just getting older. Same thing for Townshend and others.
Thank God for guys like Steve Howe, he doesn't know it, but he was also a great baby sitter for us, we spent hundreds of hours sitting around with him, learning to play his guitar parts!!!! Thanks for posting!!!

@@mapleext I like the way you can pick different aspect to listen and study too. like Tony Kayes organ and moog parts . or Steve Howe's amazing picking styles or, the amazing drum and bass guitar work by Bill and Chris (rip) or just the simple genius of the whole band on the entire album . 'A venture' also fascinates me and on the Steve Wilson remix, it is extended to hear sections of 'a venture'i.e. after the fade, id never even heard before.
The "I Get Up, I Get Down" segment from "Close to the Edge" was originally his guitar?!? That keyboard/choral arrangement was the first piece to actually take my breath away! Thanx, Mr. Howe!

It kills me until is gets reigned in and then melodic, Da dnt ta dnt da dnt da danna kna! this man and Yes Elevated music to the level of Mozart, schubert and Wvagner! And then there is The Clap! All joy!
I love Steves candor and complexity! I learned the Mood for a day, the Clap and Roundabout! Almost nothing else! It seems so structurally pure!
I saw YES at the Cow Palace in Oakland California in 1974 and it changed my life. He wore this Egyptian kind of kilt and little cape and sandals. My first guitar effect was a volume pedal because of Steve.

You have a right to be proud of the masterpiece that is YES' fourth album: "Fragile". It is the wonder of 1971, following closely on the heels of YES' third album: The Yes Album, which was a triumph, and the first YES album you played on. Your playing was breakout, with so many cool guitar styles and sounds, you took us to where no music had gone before, and we all rocked out with it for the last 51 years, and it never sounded better! Even the young folks today are appreciating the genius of YES, and you, Steve. Now I am 61, and I listen to YES every day in my car from Bluetooth on my smartphone (smartphones were science fiction 50-years ago in 1972). phone and UA-cam. YES music stimulates my intellect, makes me smart and happy. It also expands consciousness, and aids in spiritual evolution. Peace.

The best overall guitarist. And certainly the best guitar 'composer' of all time. IMPO.
Indeed Todd! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
I'm a fan of Steve Howe, but saying he's the best guitar composer of all time is just an opinion. Steve may be a more technically sound instrumentalist than, for instance Jorma Kaukonen, but Jorma's "Embryonic Journey", "Mann's Fate", and "Water Song" are beautiful compositions in their own right that are unique, original, and just as pleasing to the ear as "Mood for a Day", etc.
Lol that’s just your opinion.
@@jhandle4196 There's this kooky abbreviation at the end of my post: IMPO. It actually means: 'In My Personal Opinion'. And it remains so.
It's criminal he's so often left off of greatest guitarist lists. So underappreciated were his contributions to the mainstream, but hailed were his efforts when the conversation shifted to the progressive side of things. I enjoy all his work immensely.

Outstanding musician. What a complete and unique guitarist. Mega respect for Mr. Howe.
I sat with my guitar in my bedroom in 1973 and laboriously learned the intro to Roundabout. The fingerpicking exercise led me to abandon picks and use fingers only ever since. Thank you Mr. Howe.

I first heard Roundabout on AM radio, WABC 770, in 1971. I used to get upset when the radio station played the shortened version of Roundabout. Fragile was the very first album I ever bought, and I still have it. Steve Howe in my opinion doesn't get half the recognition he deserves. So sad that the RRHOF only inducted Yes after Chris Squire had passed. They should have been inducted long before some of the other bands who were in there ahead of Yes. Same for ELP, it is a crime that they are still not in the RRHOF. The 2nd album I bought was ELP's Brain Salad Surgery, I still have that one too. I feel blessed to have had such music during my "formative" years, and feel so sad for the kids who have any form of rap music as their formative music.

There are some songs that just immediately start playing an earworm in your head anytime you hear them.

The first day I heard Roundabout was a Saturday afternoon at a friends house. 3 or 4 of us and we played the whole album over and over until we left. So different and mind blowing.
Around 1981, my parents bought our first VHS machine .. It was definitely an exciting time for a kid of 14, and while we were in the store, they told me that I could pick two VHS tapes to buy : so I chose Lucio Fulci's horror masterpiece "Zombie" and the other was Yes' "YesSongs" live concert ... I had always had a good relationship with my parents, all things considered, but that Yes VHS - with Steve Howe and his mastery of the guitar - was something that really bonded my Dad ( who played guitar and loved Chet Atkins ) and myself ( who was just starting out and loved this new thing called metal ) .. We literally wore that tape out, Dad sitting with his acoustic figuring out how to play Clap and Roundabout ... Without that VHS, I'm not sure I would have had the same lifelong friendship that I did with my Dad

It's great to actually hear Steve Howe speak. Extremely tight and musically complex. To me they really launched prog rock as a thing. While other bands compete in listen-ability, depth, and audacity. I don't think anyone quite matched Yes in terms of tightness and musical complexity. And if they did, I haven't found them as listenable.

Eddy was pretty much a member of the band at times, I had never heard Steve mention he was extra tight with him before but not surprised. I am guessing Steve is still an expert on tape splicing. Huge fan of Steves musical adventurous travels, if only the subsequent 70s records were equally well engineered.

Steve Howe. The enthusiasm of a five year old child and the wisdom of a Wizard.

I remember one time a friend if mine and i decided to split a quarter ounce of mushrooms and put on the first 4 yes albums. We were both heavy into mysic theory and composition, plus serious players. We heard stuff on that trip that we will never hear again. We both really love yes, but we heard it in 4 dimensions that night. We transcribed like half of fragile on guitar and piano, but we could never play it with the intensity like it was recorded until after that trip. God i love those first few yes albums. Some of the best material of the last 60 years. There are plenty of world class musicians out there, but few can play as cohesively as them. Maestro howe alluded to it: space. Theres enough breathing beyond the furious riffs.
