3 Steve Howe Licks From 1971

- Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Steve Howe Licks From 1971. I've had a number of requests to feature some of Steve's famous fretwork, and that's a great thing because I'm a HUGE prog-rock fan/nerd, so this lesson reveals a little of his unique and inspiring fretboard magic.
The licks in this lesson came from a live tv appearance from 1971 in England during Yes' 'Fragile' tour. It showcases the band at their fiery best and captures Steve during an extended showcase guitar solo/jam during an energetic version of 'Yours Is No Disgrace.' The ideas shared here include an unusual open-string pull-off phrase, a wicked rolling chromatic legato lick, a melodic phrase featuring some of Steve's signature chromatic legato movements, a twisted b5 legato phrase, and much more!
If you're a fan of progressive rock and/or the music of Yes and the classic era with Steve Howe at the helm - this lesson is for you!
And bring your fingers, you're going to need them.

Steve Howe ... so refreshing to hear non-blues/neo-classical mastery that isn't superficially 'jazz' sounding either. What a superb player.
Blues is awesome too.. Dont tell me you do not love Jimi, SRV, Allman Bros too! But I love Yes also.
@@michaelcraig9449 variety, the spice
To understand where Steve was coming from, he was mixing his influences, Barney Kessel, Chet Atkins, and his own twisted psychedelia. There will never be another like him I think. Fantastic work on these licks brother.
Steve is the man! Definitely was on fire during that 71 to 79 period.
I always urge people to check out the work of Yes' late "forgotten" guitarist- Peter Banks. He was an energetic and creative player that is highly underrated and well worth hearing.
Steve Howe was at least 10 years ahead of its time. He came up with that "yours is no disgrace" solo stuff in the early 70s, when all guitar playing was blues based. Amazing.
Brewster is not the typical “this is how you play it” UA-camr. You actually learn so much more beyond a chord lesson and get historical knowledge of the song and player. He makes every video interesting and is a master of teaching. This is a great channel.
I remember skipping school in 1979 (15 yrs old) to get tickets in Bridgeport Ct to the Yes show at New Haven Coliseum..(i the round) rotating stage. I thought i had shitty seats they were 10' in front of me!! I threw a joint to Jon and he caught it:} Great Show!!!!
Thank you for doing this. As a Yes fanatic since the age of thirteen--first saw them in concert at Madison Square Garden in 1978--I've been there for nearly the whole ride. I have often heard guitarists "slagging off" Steve Howe, to my amazement, I think partly be the Van Halen, high speed, technocratic revolution in hard rock and heavy metal hadn't happened yet when Howe di his seminal work. Here's what these people don't understand. First, Steve was completely self-taught, and not just guitar but mandolin, pedal steel (something he used to great effect in Yes' music), Dobro, resonator guitar, etc. But here's the really important point too many people miss. Yes' goal, originally, was to use rock instruments to achieve fully fleshed out, many part compositions, in the same way that an orchestra would have a string section, woodwinds, brass, etc. It doesn't take much listening to Yes to realize that Howe figured out that his role in all this was to use the many stringed instruments he played, each in it own way, to represent a section of that orchestra, layering harmonies and melodies upon each other as an orchestra would. That he might not have been able to play arpeggios and neo-classical like Yngwie was not the point, it was always his thoughtful, creative and appropriate contributions to the music that mattered.
Thank you very much for posting this lesson and insight into Steve Howe's techniques.
Yes is my favorite band and Steve Howe is my all-time favorite guitarist. His playing was so organic. It never sounded like he sat home practicing specific licks until he could play them really fast. Licks like those in this video just came out naturally in the spur of the moment off the top of his head. So refreshing. Great video!
South side of the sky, always been a Yes favorite from the Fragile album.
The Dixie Dregs! Now *that* is a name I hadn't heard in quite some time! Along with 'The Steve Morse Band'! 😀
I would love to see one on Steve Morse!!
Yes, love Steve Morse!
Dig it!
I don't think I have ever listened to Steve Howe where I didn't say to myself "What the hell was that?" at least once.
Wow, fantastic!
Howe was incomparable.❤
I think I have that issue of Guitar Player, David!
Great demo. Saw them live in the early '70s and Howe was amazing to watch, being so different in tone and licks. Phenomenal band.
EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND VERY INSIGHTFUL VIDEO..
I AM A HUGE FAN OF UNCLE~MR.STEVE HOWE...
PHENOMENAL VIDEO..
Back in the day, went to see various versions of the band. Saw the Howe version dozens of times. We kept going back because the compostions and musical vituosity were unmatched by anyone exept fusion players., Mahavishnu, Return to Forever etc.. He was voted best overall in Guitar player Mag something like 5 years in a row. Very few other players were anywhere near him.Claimed to be self taught as well. Cleaner tone most of the time too. A battery of guitars through the tall cab Dual Showmans.
I'm on a rampage through your 3 licks videos. they're all so good
Interesting! Steve is, and was, a total monster.
I really learn a lot from you great way of teaching, thanks for your help been playing 38 years, theses are the 1st lessons I can understand, so keep up the great work.Thanks Tommy Hubbard.
Found this so helpful would love more Steve/Trevor content!!
Seen Steve Howe in 75 and 76 on the relayer tour. It's was like wow, how does he do that. Great experience. Thanks.
Howe was one of my main influences when I first picked up the guitar in the early 1970s, when still in primary school. Kids tend to play along one string as they are learning. And my older brother listened to Yes constantly (on 8-track) and Yes songs have lots of runs that aren't supposed to be played on 1 or 2 strings.... but my ear could pick them out and I learned things that way first... before learning it "properly" later. Even though I started out playing it wrong... it helped with left hand speed on the fingerboard and right hand accuracy in picking.... and Howe's tone was so clear and easy to hear .... it made my ear training/listening skills that much better as I got older and more "educated" to the right way of playing things.
Yours is No Disgrace from the live Yessongs album is still my favorite song, and favorite version of that song from Yes' entire catalog of music.
Did you get frustrated trying to follow him???
This was great! I'd love to see you analyzing more of Steve Howe's playing!
I love Steve Howe and 1970's Yes! Thanks, David!!!! "South Side of the Sky" is one of my favorite Steve Howe showcases!
Steve Howe was 5 times in a row elected word’s best guitarist by Guitar Player Magazine in 70’s
I'm almost 58 years old and Steve Howe has been in my top 5 favorite guitar players since forever! I've always called Steve "The Professor".
✌👽🎸🎼🎵🎶🧠🌌♾
My favorite Steve Howe guitar work is on "Perpetual Change" from the "Yessongs" live album of 1973. His guitar solo on that track is not to be believed.
Very cool, thank you for this.
Yes they were awesome! I saw them back when Fragile first came out & Rush that was an awesome concert!
If I were forced to choose a favourite guitarist, it would be Steve. Have seen him live with Yes a few times and you are on the edge of your seat with disbelief.
Been waiting for this for a long time.
I also saw them on the union tour and they were great and you're also right about it seeming like it was not that long ago.
You must have magical powers. I said it before, Amazing lessons. Band after band , player after player, you continually put out the greatest variety of music. You are truly unique, I'm impressed. Wow.
One of my favorite creative guitarists! Not many guys are instantly recognizable from one lick but Howe is one of them! Thanks 🍺’ski.
I think his licks in yours is no disgrace, and Perpetual Change in Yessongs were some of those unique and hard to play that I have ever heard anybody play. I’m trying to work them out and was hoping that this video had some. Thanks for posting.
Saw the Union tour as well. I remember my chest shaking when Chris Squire did his bass solo, and would pluck single low notes! I wish Steve and Trevor had a little more interaction. It seemed like they were both there but, Steve just kept to himself.
Steve ain’t a Trevor fan because he’s an egomaniac and can’t stand the thought of sharing.
@@Bartysquire Steve is or Trevor is? Then later on they were in a band together playing all the Yes songs, and looked like they were much more present with each other, AND, Steve didn't walk off stage for Owner of A Lonely Heart, lol.
Steve Howe is a genius, no doubt - self taught and all - but he is rather eccentric…
Steve Howe, really original master of guitar.His ideas in playing was just his
Awesome lesson, Dave, thanks!!! So many great aspects to Steve Howe's playing. As much as I grew up on the blues influenced players, I enjoy the fact that Steve comes from a whole other place, fascinating approach to the instrument.
We'll I'll be...! When Mr. Brewster says "This episode came from your requests"--he isn't kidding! THANK YOU SIR!
Saw them in ‘75!
Great lesson Dave
Steve howe at heart is a country guitarist, a country guitarist with a jazz side gig, he makes playing diatonically so cool
Great job in pointing out some of the quirkiness that makes Steve's playing especially from this time period so fascinating and exciting. My favorite solos from him are YIND and Siberian Khatru from Yessongs.
Yesterday I thought, "How cool would it be if Dave did something about Steve Howe."
Thank you!
Good lesson keep up the great teaching... I have not heard much of this guitar player or the yes band but I'm a have to check it out more.
you don't look old enough to have been in high school in '81. Love your videos. Thanks
Not that I want a different channel because this is awesome, but I'd love to see a feed dedicated just to prog rock players.
Holy wow. What a great lesson
You rock bro. How can I make my fingers do that???
Well, my brain too😭
People forget that back in the day Steve was always listed with Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck as among the best. One of my all time faves, thanks for doing this one! He was also definitely influenced by Chet Atkins
Great guy to cover! 🙌
Thanks for this. I like that you focussed on these curious little licks with their nuances that really characterise Steve's playing, rather than set piece riffs and solos. I've been fascinated by his playing for nearly 50 years now. I loved the fretboard geometry piece too when that came out a year or 2 back.
Play all these licks over a Gmin7 to C13 (or even C7) vamp and they all sound incredible! All licks work great in a Dminor/Fmajor key center.
I agree with the comment below, I’d like to see a video on Steve Morse!
I love what you do brother, you explain things really well, your insightful you’re playing is clean, more Steve Howe yes please… Thank you and also maybe aerial bender of Mott the Hoople especially the live album the warm up to “walking with a mountain” is an amazing piece of guitar work on the live album…✌️🎼❤️
YES! pun intended
Is Gary Richrath gonna be soon David ? For some ideas, watch Golden Country live in 1977 👍🏻
Gary Richrath, Heck Yeah!
Me too!
YES just came out with a new album. We need another Rabin lesson big time because he uses out of key notes to learn from.
YES has been my favorite band since band since 1977. But I only recognized the third lick. I then began to suspect, and confirmed reading your description, they were from that extended guitar solo Howe showpiece in Yours Is No Disgrace. I've seen him do this song a many times. Sometimes he does this extra solo sometimes he doesn't. When he does, it doesn't necessarily sound like any before it. I think you listened to the Yesssongs version.
Is there any way you can address the confluence of you being able to play nearly everything and how that intersects with what you write..? I am consistently astounded by your ability. Where that meets what writing songs is like breaches the unknown.
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
So different! Thanks for the lesson=)
I saw Yes for their Union tour as well. They were amazing. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I heard that Steve Howe and Ritchie Blackmore once had the same guitar teacher?
Steve never had a guitar teacher. He's self taught
Any chance of having a look at another great 70's band Wishbone Ash please?
That opening lick appears to have maybe been borrowed by genesis' Tony banks in Hogweed.
Can you post up Steves licks, riffs, songs with tabs? His style is too complex for me to learn it with no tabs.
1977 steve howe was guitar player magazine best overall guitarist
Actually he won the Guitar Player readers poll best overall guitarist five consecutive years, putting him in their "Gallery of Greats" hall of fame.
@@SeriouslyLarry Yes, that's what I remember is Steve Howe year after consecutive year grabbing G.P. magazine's best overall mack daddy guitarist honors and well deserved.
@@SeriouslyLarry Wonder how many others are in that "Gallery of Greats" Had Subscription to G.P. way back in High school
Can you post a link to the YIND video that you're referencing. btw I also posted a cover of the Starship Trooper/ Wurm solo he played live at Wembley 1978, you might enjoy all the trippy and tricky licks involved. Thanks for this lesson, I appreciate you sharing your experience and skill.
yessongs album
Some of those licks from Fragile I suspect were originated on the keyboards by Rick.
You have a really good guitar sound. It really suits Steve Howes licks. What are you playing through?
Steve may be the soul reason there was a thing called art rock or progressive rock/prog-rock. No blues (one simple scale only) music. That was mostly unheard of then.
Pretty cool but are these riffs "in the style of" Steve Howe? Some of them sound like parts from the live Yessongs of the same-ish era. I liked it.
Do you know what are steve howes amp settings as in: gain, treble, mids and bass? Im looking for a yes album-fragile guitar tone
If God had drawn up a guitar player it would look like Steve Howe. He walks alone.
i used to listen to YES a lot in the early 70s, and was impressed by them.....but in recent years i prefer clear and simple blues and rock.....all these "supergroups" from that era didn't make it further....i think they actually overkilled it.....people got bored of it after a while....
i can only speak for myself....50 years after the fact im still in awe of the early yes works....still not bored...
Here is a great song from the 1977 album "Going for the one ". Steve Howe rips on peddle steel.
SH is arguably the greatest guitarist of all time or at least tied
Hey Dave are you sure the tabs are correct?
Too much for me but awesome lesson.
They call James Brown the hardest working man .
Seems that Howe is the hardest working guitarist
Just play the guitar.
