I really I can't believe this , man you are amazing!!!!! This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time my friend. Great Job!!

[rmalone77]

Awesome man, great job my friend!!!

[tforal2]

Another video and never stopped impressing me..

For how long have you been playing the guitar?

For a guess i'd say since you were 6/7 and your parents bought you a ukele but you bought a guitar when you were 12 cause the ukele hadn't enough beautiful notes hehe..

Truly amazing

[LowRider1500]

YOU ROCK .

[yesmuseum]

What a great performance. I've Tubesocked it! A great pleasure to hear your work.

[paulvalletta01]

One of my fav retro Yes tracks, and this version, is really cool.

[julyvalls]

that acoustic is a Fender CD 220?

[zappatx]

Send this to Peter Banks - He reads all the mail on his Myspace page - a real nice chap. Love your work!!

[redgriff]

This is SUPERB.

[tirmey]

Chris,

You´re the guy!!! Great covers of beautiful songs. Keep that good work!!!

[markvz]

This must have taken a lot of time and dedication. Watching this nearly brings tears. It makes me so happy.

[Bluntfacts]

Wow. I don't believe I am seeing someone cover this song from some 40 years ago. I hate to sound like a bloody idiot, but this is truly splendid. As usual Chris, the production quality and audio is fantastic.

And that little lick at 2:36. Words cannot describe that.

5 Stars

[betwes]

My favorite song. And you did a GREAT job!! Congrats

[mdanderson1114]

Cool! What a great rendition of Survival. Nice job,

[LOSTHOMEY1]

Excellent. This is such a pretty song, and you pulled it off.

[sausabe]

That is very impressive. :) It's difficult to express how mind-blowing this is but this is simply incredible.

[danielrust]

Very nice reproduction of Survival,perfect performance.Steve Howe himself would be amazed to see this!

[10dudes]

Fabulous, such a cool song.

[LA2TIGRE4VOLANTE]

Put out an album !!!!!!!!!!!

[impeachthebastards]

Great job. You are a wonderful musician and you pay such respect for this masterpiece composition. Nice timing, phrasing, and tone throughout. Very inspiring- I'm currently working on some drum parts for early Yes stuff.

[jschmidty]

Hey there, Ive seen a few of your videos and it seems like you are plugging your guitars directly into your recorder/computer.. Have you tried using a mic? I've tried both and I think the guitar sounds really flat when plugged into the recording device - It loses its balls! Cool vids though.

[BuhTutu]

PERFECT

[jsilence418]

Excellent job! nice guitar sounds!

[chris21125150]

Thank you. :)

[justAquickNut]

i didnt agree with how you played all your parts in here but this was very very cool to watch and i think you guys did a great job

[chris21125150]

Thanks. You have a right not to agree. :) And it wasn't anyone else but me in the video. I did all the parts. Thanks for watching. :)

[Hovenaut]

Did it justice and then some. Well done.

[pinamar13]

genial!!!! eres mi idolo !!

[NaigatorN]

I was seven years old when my older brother played me the first Yes album. True genius... Squire, Bruford, and the long-forgotten Peter Banks. Jon Anderson still plays this in concert when the mood hits him, he remembers the older days of Mabel Greer's Toy Shop and the Syn. Listen to the first few bars and Squire on the Rickenbacker. Every note is perfect.

[MattyT43]

Truly amazing

[kevin1178]

Outstanding! You are so talented. Appreciate your interpretation of a great piece of music.

[iMoviesMaker]

I love yes and you are bringing something good to even better! Great job dude.

[hellmuth26]

Awesome stuff, I look forward to watching all your videos!

[keylargo151]

I am 13 and love Yes thanks for not murdering this song gave it five stars

[n8omic]

Again,a beautiful interpretation of this piece.

As I work my way through your contributions I continue to be impressed.

Are you involved in,or have you considered any sort of tribute band pursuits?

Keep it rollin'-

Cheers,Nate

[toobusytothinkaname]

Wow, good work. That had to be difficult. Congrats!

[chris21125150]

I'd love to be involved in a tribute project. Unfortunately my network is quite small and to top it off I have terrible stage fright. I don't even like being in the same room when people are watching my videos. :)

[toobusytothinkaname]

Haha, you should overcome your fears and show the world how good Yes were. Thanks for such a good video.

[Symbol57]

Awesome Chris. Sorry it took me so long to find your videos. I am watching them all this morning.

Not only are you an awesome musicain, you have some great video talents too.

[sorayalis]

Beautiful!

[hwkjunk]

Made my day. Hell, made my week!!!!

Just absolutely beautiful.

(I'm another long-time Yes fan)

[FrizzyMike]

From a Yes fan of 30 years standing - that was pretty dammed awesome man!

[fperdomo]

PETER BANKS FOREVER

[DominickBlack]

Bald men are just higher caliber upstairs. ;)

[yesyadda]

B-yootiful!

[idclip]

That was awesome.

[hyperboreal]

Excellent rendition and great choice.

[GTRJam]

Been listening to that song for 30 years+, love it. SOR w/ Jon Anderson recently did it as part of their shows (I went to the Collingswood, NJ show & met Alan White during the break). Excellent arrangement of the material, quality job all around!!

[EvH920410]

My Favorite Video Youve done so far!!! i really love the new effects you are using on your videos now the overlapping guitarsetc.... I loved the flaming guitar bit that was AWESOME!!!!! Great Job anxiously waiting for new videos ......ps: request for south side of the sky

[MrZuLu]

Nicely done, Chris!

You have to forgive YouTube. There are so many people uploading stuff they have to overly compress EVERYTHING so as to make files smaller. Sound and picture quality suffer as a result.

I live just South of the Border in Ferndale. We should hook up sometime and play some music!

[bazwillrun]

Brilliant my favourite song by them

thanks
