Sarah, 14, Playing Mood For A Day, By Yes (Steve Howe)

[StephenArgonneProd]

Less rushed please. It's a moody classical song, not a rock solo.

[theloy729]

R.I.P you will never be forgotten

[Harley492]

I like 1:40 -2:10 when you put in the slurs.  Sounds cool.

[berserk2012xxx]

show yo tits

[splattfedding]

Have you tried playing drums ?

[xxsavannahwebbxx]

I would have enjoyed this if you hadn't said "Holler". Thanks. Anyways, I wish I could play guitar, you're good. Just don't get self centered please.

[Boufloudoublou]

You just ruined this awesome song thanks

Keep practicing.....your head and heart are in the right place musically, but you need to give the music the personality and beauty it richly deserves; do not be concerned with speed; slow down and enunciate each phrase rather than blowing through them like you're in a rush for a hot date. Don't give up, keep on going no matter what anyone says; follow your heart and your fingers on the guitar will follow! Nice initial attempt.

[sufcok]

Nicely played!

[bearmassaro]

Some people have talent, others have a gift. You, my dear, are gifted,...

[RinhTruth]

Good evening to you! May Music fill your life with joy.

It's amazing, enlightening, and heartwarming to hear someone your age play this piece. I was very impressed to hear it done on electric, where you can take advantage of certain tonalities that acoustics just don't offer. And while you have a slight bit of sloppiness in your technique (which you'll outgrow as a player and eliminate as an experienced 10-year+ player), you have the heart and the essence of the piece in your ears and in your

[MasterWarfare2]

parece q ta sofrendo demais pra toca....

q jossa por min acho q tem estar bom para postar no youtube n essa coisa

[yesokunchannel]

Sarah... Freakin' Amazing!!!!!! You have the god hands xD

[raasray]

lovely

[helloaidan]

the chords at the start are wrong but other than that its ok

[frungahr]

you got the tone nearly perfect, I'm impressed 

[TheElectricSalad]

im gonna make a cover now lol

[visog]

Cool! More scratty than Steve Howe! Great Job!

[stedley21]

nice playing

[Echoes978]

This is amazing that chu learned this. Holla=D

[oliverrak]

good



[misterr00ts]

Screw all the haters, Good job!!! Im going to make a cover myself now

[PerfectParasite]

You piss me off!

Because, you are so much better than me and 4 years younger than me. lol

How long have you been playing? Have you had lessons?

[rollipolioli]

hallerrt

[tolitsky9366]

great playing for a girl like you at your age, keep ti up

[noodlage]

thats really fuckin good keep up the good work and remember to shred til yer dead

[subzeroscorpion8787]

wow and that kind of age u can play this good great job

[1984Joshie]

I never wanted to commit suicide...until now!!!

I hope

Steve Howe never hears this!!!!!

[TellingYouTwice]

Way to make a magic song, much less magical.

[schmittelt]

Years ago, I was standing by the sea in northern Germany listening to this song dreaming of doing what you have done. I love that you have done it you're own way and on whatever kind of instrument you choose. Don't listen to snobbery. Keep doing what you're doing. Peace.

[yescatuk]

The fact that a 14 yr old girl appreciates such a masterpiece as Mood for a day is very refreshing, it was good to hear her play her own take on it on electric rather than accousic giutar, ive bookmarked this page as it brought a smile to my face, keep up the good work Sarah im sure Steve Howe would be impressed....John....aka..... yes_cat

[IsraelFerrao10]

not bad .. I liked ...

[rickoberuc]

Another decade of practice,

and I might be able to play it as well as you do.

Excellent work!

[jwk333]

All these people are jealous! not being sexist. your 14 and play better than most guys do that been playing for years!

[swordgarna]

HOLLERRRR!!!~~~~~ that made me rage, because of that i am disliking this.

[PistolPackingPatriot]

@swordgarna I AGREE! Why must negroisms replace our fine white culture and language? Especially disturbing to hear a young white girl forsaking her own culture. She's a fine and gifted guitarist. But please spare us the hip-hop lingo.

[s0undch4ser]

play how ever you like, but it seemed like you were racing through the song.

I would slow the tempo a bit ,other wise nice work

[ChordCluster]

Young lady... screw the detractors. You playing is good and your interpretation is entertaining. 

Keep on playing.

[musicluver14]

u suck

[rubikschris23]

intro is g (bar) and f# (:

[mruskew]

congratulations!!!......

[MrFlatspace]

well on one hand she's not playing 'humpRap' (dry humping on the dance floor) but if you can get past that she rocks !

[lupuslupus1]

Better than me!!!!!

[ihopwaffles69]

sounds fantastic not my kind of music id say but wonderful indeed... if your that great you may want to invest in a higher quailty setup... i just made a vid of me just jamming on my acoustic if any1 is interested...

[BilboScotland]

Damn --give this girl a break--if she wants to play mood for a day and give it some whammy bar and jazz the whole thing a bit, then why not----its not a steve howe copy--shes poutting her own twist on it and it sounds great to me-----FREEDOM

[kenlea5150]

1984Joshie U R WORTHLESS! the only thing u do is bring this girls hopes down for the future! GIVE IT UP! GO AWAY! U R REALLY GOOD GIRL!

[kawiklx450r]

@1984Joshie thats awsome shes 14 and likes playing yes thats so cool classic rock will never die

[GetBackJack123]

I do not deny the skill I see. But please, play it on a classical. It will sound so much better, especially the beginning.

[aliaseltopo1x]

lol

[faningo276]

Sounds good, maybe a little dry since you're playing electric. If you enjoy finger picking you should invest in a classical, much fun. Good job

[stevenmachine07]

I like it...nice finger picking, it is better on a classical guitar though.

Check out my channel @ stevenmachine07

[headhunter998]

there's no rhythm, it sounds way nicer on classical guitar.

[kttunstallator]

what in the f**k where you thinking to play this on an electric guitar? you blew off some of your talent already, b/c you could do so much better on classical which is what it's meant to be played on

[wishwizard100]

tonytony819 is a jealous moron. you play GREAT. AMAZING. electric or not, ya make do with what ya got

[bluescaracas68]

You are amazing! To say the least!

[yuusukekubota]

Sarah. Amezing plays ! ^^

[tonytonytony819]

A lot of mistakes but the basics were there. Mood for a day isn't a song to be played on an electric guitar. The sound is REALLYYYY bad.

[parkergmatas]

holler! lol awesome

[livelyx]

definitely got the ability to be an

accomplished classical guitarist

[1rscott]

I could be wrong but I don't think your taking this very seriously.Don't fuck up your potential with attitude.

Putting your stuff on itunes is like flushing it down the toilet.

trust me ...the odds of you playing that song 10yrs from now nill

[108vasudeva]

ok, how's this for constructive criticism: you are absolutely adorable and very very talented. mood for a day is not only a beautiful piece, but also a complex one that requires a level of skill to play that most guitarists never reach in a lifetime of playing. Well done, my young friend!!

[igobyRt]

Woah! Great job.

[tet1963]

Very good, just need to relax a bit, you may find sitting up a bit straighter will help and getting more right hand control so your pinky stays closer to the fretboard, we all never stop learning on guitar, it is what makes irt so amazing!

[ragglefraggle09]

O wow, nylon strings on an electric guitar??

Finally, a girl who likes rock music in this age >_>

N you're absolutely adorable!! (im 15 so technically that comment wasn't pedo material)

[mts2]

beautiful genius

[seraphiss]

Pretty cool, keep it up! I hadn't even picked up a guitar at your age!

[schifferbrainz]

Play it faster!

[Bon0]

like someone said before, its rather sloppy and out of tempo but the girl is 14, we should give her a break for that...

[JRCrowley]

You're a cool chick!

[erlendskar]

Good job! But i think you need to calm down a bit and don't stress so much in some of the parts.

[1i1feat]

Your name isn't Sarah Howe is it ? very well done!!

[panther4555]

o-o nice

[spidanez]

aw, its all good. just next time try giving a compliment instead of downing someone. it doesnt feel very good getting slammed. i just hate that when someone is trying their hardest at something on these videos and people just shoot em down.youre not so bad yourself. i am also self taught and i applaud you for that.

[Specialtee21]

Correction: don't listen to the negative comments after reading back almost everyone agrees that was brilliant.

[spidanez]

good god man leave the girl lone. i think its pretty damn awsome. are you a professional? probably not. and i know that as soon as i post this you are going to try to defend yourself, just like people always do on the damn internet. proove that you are better.

[Specialtee21]

Very Nice Don't listen to the other comments this is not easy to play. Rock on

[Mopheadbanger53]

next time you should use an acoustic/ classical guitar. other than that pretty good.

[sejje]

fml. you're awesome, but you already know that.

[nrmignonne]

Buen trabajo, pero opino que seonaría mejor con una acústica o una clásica. Igualmente tu versión es excelente.

[jfk1976]

you are the coolest girl at your school.

[AndrewGurn]

This has brought great shame to my own abilities...

[dandamagetoo]

bravo, excellent choice of music and points for the woodshedding it took to play this piece.

[PsychoGuitar66]

holy fuck! that was amazing! i only listened to 45 sec of it and i was amazed..

[fossie32]

nice

[stefanlowe]

sorry, but if you were a 14 yo boy, this wouldnt be looked at as anything

[nospam3001]

Says the guy who hasn't uploaded a single video. She was excellent.

[stefanlowe]

it doent have anything to do with if i have videos or not. she was good but because shes a chick and some guys probably think shes cute everyone feels the need to comment.

[RICbass78]

dude... she's 14.

[GaryNull]

nice work kid, . .

your hair looks like Steve's back in the 70's lol.

[dtowno351]

tallented girl .. is there anything you cant play? lol

[Abonisher]

Fantastic! Keep playing and you may someday become the next steve howe!

[funnyguise]

pretty cool for 14. even just the fact that you're listening to such good music. I like how you change things up a bit to make it your own... he never plays it exactly the same each time himself.

Assuming you've seen his tutorial-type vide here on youtube? if not: watch?v=LY0c6qc95oI&feature=re­lated

[padrezzin]

try use a acustic guitar .....

[codenameblitz]

NAILED IT!

[blisspheme]

i dont say this often, but im thoroughly impressed

[Heli3000]

Great job, keep playing.  A+

[smookums]

wow i like it, good job! YES rocks!

[bakilacat]

cool and neat interpretation. awesome girl!! rock on!

[sixstringobsession]

You rocked it, girl! That was awesome and is more difficult on electric. I liked your interpretation. Jeff

[ladd0]

nice but you souldn't use a stratocaster to play it!!

[GUITARPLAYER45324]

Very well done....few more years and it will be flawless.... thank you ..Impressive!

[atsar24]

I'm so really impressed ...very nice..GODBLESS _24

[SpartanOstrich15]

please do it on an acoustic. Good job though :D

[gibbo3408]

Fab!! I'm so really impressed that you put your own personal mark on it. It sounds so cool! Long may your great playing continue.

[carrietide]

Keep up the good work Sarah good girl yourself!Try to play it on acoustic guitar,you will hear the difference....and keep on watching Steve Howe videos!

[carrietide]

Unbelievable!Awesome!I sincerely hope Steve has noticed you.

[DVincentW]

Dang you got chops!:)Keep going!Indeed!

[s1914]

Bloody hell. You're fantastic!

[ArvaF]

You are playing Yes, little girl! I am so proud of you, even if I have no idea of who you are =) I wish I had your talent when I was your age.

[StarvinArtistSue]

You rock man!

[Z1nOnlyPepiman]

WOO HOO!!! Nice job! I love how you had fun with it and did it your own way!...I didn't learn this until I was 16...and it took me 3 days..moving the needle back to relisten and learn the bass parts, and then the higher parts..and then teaching my thumb and fingers to play in a way they hadn't before..LOL. I call my method, "monkey hear, monkey play" :)

[ToTheGalaxy]

I really wonder what Steve Howe would say to that play. Did you ever ask him? ;)

[resorael]

Holla right back atcha! I had to shake my hand out too just watching you. Awesome!

[putkettleonfilms]

Nice job gal!

[2bfrance]

Great Job ! Tough song, you 've done such a great job

[rushfloydzeppelin]

wow to see a 14 year old girl appreciate good music as well as do a good job at playing it is nice.

[joebobohobo]

very nice :D nice bass guitar in the background

[flamehead100]

nice (with no pic)

also watch my videos i play guitar but metal

[Luicfer0999]

There should be law made to prohibit 14 year old girls from being anywhere near a stringed instrument. Or it will do severe damage to peoples eardrums.

[ProgMom67]

Awesome! Love to see young people studying the great Steve Howe! Keep up the great work!

[roycesboy]

k so your a genius, unbelivable!!! and good luck with your future making millions as a famous musican, because if your playing that at 14 when your older its just going to be dispicabal.

[hoiikbenbert]

you suck

[bassweakness]

y0u are qute :P

[tashcoverley]

are you like really good on guitar hero haha

[yetibrain]

absolutely cool!

[tonesbe]

listen to michael chapdelaine-and don't listen to all these assholes who wanna discourage you-keep it up

[sabrinalovesguitar]

YOURE SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD !!!!!!!!

IM SO JEALOUS

omgg, i love youu ! ♥

youre deff gunnah become a pro guitarist :)

at least, you should be :)

[GUATINGUATON]

Does it hurt?

[raspa1710]

im not gonna lie the only reason i said that was cause i wanted my boy to win which he did... but i gotta admit this is a bad ass video, and the fact that shes like a young girl shreding like that even better. so bravo to you no hard feelings

[duddy74]

asshole. dont say shit and just take it back. die in a fire.

[raspa1710]

aight bro i admitted i said it just to the fact that i wanted my friend to win, which means the first statement wasnt true. the real statement was the second one when i said she ripped it up

[silencenogood]

"Some opinions aren't worth listening too."-Plato

[raspa1710]

Platos dead for a reason

[PrivateBuckwheat]

Stop being so much better at guitar than me! Or keep on doing it... it doesn't really matter...

[Brad2070]

Great

[raspa1710]

your finger tips should be chopped off to rid the world of the terrible sounds they produce

[BeastofGboro]

no offense sarah but vote David Bakey

[piratesgoxarr]

you're better than your brother ^_^

[silencenogood]

I'm in love with the idea that you're learning to play this song... I say learning because you still could improve it in a lot of ways. Good, though. Why in the world do you want to play with Weezer?

[undescribedlovex]

i'm sooo jealous.

you're realll good.

[life12222]

im sorry your good but dave is great

[DarkninAngeI]

no dave sux sarah is so much better!!!

[katexlovex4u]

you are sooooo incredible!!!!!

i totally envy you kid!

<3

[WeenisWarrior]

((:

[axelkarp]

Job well done, kudos

[candikane21]

Girl if I could play like that I would be hitting the stage RIGHT AWAY xD omg ur AMAZING:]]

[goatgoesbahhhhhh]

really good cover, but, and this is just my opinion, and it's intended to be constructive, the way this song sounds changes when it's gone purely with finger-picking. if you've ever watched steve play this live, he hybrid-picks it. other than that, really well done, little much with the whammy, but it personalizes it. great job!

[undefinablehappiness]

hey, everyone.

1. YOU DON'T KNOW "MR. HOWE" PERSONALLY

2. YOU DON'T KNOW THIS SONG ANY BETTER THAN SARAH DOES. AND IF YOU DO, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW, AND EITHER WOULD SHE

3. SARAH IS IN THE TOP PICKS, SO IT'S REALLY NOT THAT FUNNY AT ALL THAT SHE POSTED THIS ON YOUTUBE TO GRACE YOU ALL WITH PERFORMANCE

sarah, you are phenomenal and the people who claim they are God's gift to the world really have no idea who they're dealing with. see you in school (:

[dyhanendra]

this was really fun to watch...as a life-long YesFan, ithink Mr Howe would be amused, as well. Every artist likes to hear new takes on their stuff...every live performance by Steve is a new take on his own stuff!

the whammy was a little over the top, and playing in on a strat was 'different', but it was nothing if not interesting and entertaining.

well done. 'interesting and entertaining' is the whole point.

[reallykek]

I think you should really sitt down and listen to Mood for a day, and then try to feel the beauty of the song, and try to copy it. Because you play abit...ungood for playing this song and put it up on youtube. I can play this song totally flawless,but then i have been listening to MFAD just to learn to play it as hamonic as Steve himself. This is just a tip tho :). otherwise it was pretty good. 7 / 10 points.!

[jexplink]

Excellent performance 10/10.

[hoiikbenbert]

just play it on acoustic

[ToTheGalaxy]

You are really talented, I'm watching forward to Clap :)

[InvictusIII]

A 14 year old playing Mood for a Day? There is hope in the world! Progressive rock lives!!

Rock on little rock goddess of the future!

Put your lighters in the air people!

[carrietide]

Absolutely!YES!

[misscrazydevilgurl]

OMG YOU GOT SUM MAD SKILLS!

[darkshyne69]

never heard this song before..but...you should sooo put a video up of you playing this on accoustic..it would be amazing!!!! i am sure of it

[aksionjaxon]

very good ive never heard the song but its good sounding

[luckiweeman]

Kid, You Rocked this...This is one of my favorite pieces of music and you took it to another level. Steve Howe would be proud..

[zp4eva]

awsome job maybe slow it down when i ply that i like to take it slower just for the feel u know what i mean?

[TarkusNYC]

playful version, well done.

[cdresaw]

excellent go 4 it girl

[chiara03]

:-O

[cjcrooker]

thats pretty crazy. i play this song as well and for a 14 year old girl thats just amazing

[violinbloke]

I can't believe it!! I know it's not easy to play steel strings like a classical guitar! On top of that, you've got great expression. WELL DONE!!!
