@steelerfan4317 That is very sad. It makes one wonder who is doing the voting. I think that the mindset today leans more toward metal guitarists and shredders. I seriously doubt that there is a guitarist alive that could hold his own with Steve on the same stage. Maybe Di Meola. Watch his instructional videos. Awesome.
la primera vez que escuche este tema tenia como 5 años y se me erizaron los pelos.han pasado ya 28 años y poder ver como toca howe este mismo tema en vivo es casi orgasmico
Chill, man, that crap is funding all that mind-blowing shite - like FUCKING PROFFESOR STEVE HOWE here - that is a whole new reason to be alive. Anyway, all you gotta do is press that little "x" on the ad - or, better still, save the video to your hard drive
At the end of "Clap", when he looks at the audience he seems to be asking: "so you like it?" "how about you" "well, I like it". That moment his music gave me the chills, and I responded with a loud: "HELL YEAH!"
The man is a lutist in the purest sense, just a cat with a guitar doing amazing things on the fretboard, that no one else can, and Howe refreshing! Inimitable style!
Apparently, sometime in the past 8 months, there have been 2 more idiots to add to your list SonicBrunoth-hard to believe, isn't it? How could anyone NOT like this demonstration of the heights that genius and musicianship can rise to produce?
This man is beyond a virtuoso at guitar--he is truly great in a way that relatively few musicians can ever become at their respective instruments in this life! Sincerely, BobbyK And to think, Yes was making great music when the Beatles were still together! Simply amazing! BobbyK
not saying P.Keaggy or Howe is better,I'm not douche,love em both equally for different reasons,and Keaggy has never been in band like Yes, but as guitarist,Keaggy can really do it all,I mean ALL,like all the different types of rock/jazz/classical stuff Howe does,all the different stringed instruments,try em out.and Keaggy does something I've yet seen any guitarist do...he makes up ALL his own tunings..it'll twist your mind,some of his acoustical albums,the tunings
got another one for you Steve Howe fans,who can play ALL the stringed instruments and just as good,maybe even a little better cuz he can do the DiMeola/McLaughlin shreds too,...Phil Keaggy..check out HIS body of work..you'll be shocked,,he's been around just as long as Howe too...you actually could compare the two,their similar,apples/apples
I've been to six Yes shows and enjoyed each one incredibly!!! Saw Steve do his acoustic thing at Massey Hall too - that was wild!! Play on Steve -thanks for the joy!!
He's the overall best guitarist as voted by Guitar Player Magazine - 5 years in a row, putting in the Hall of Fame. The absolute best IMO! Steve Howe forever!!
brilliant! I have had the honour of seeing Yes perform live, and Steve Howe blew me away...well the whole band did, but man on man this guy is sooo good!
I saw Steve play this in 1971 or 72. Yes was the front band for Ten Years After at the time. Fragile still hadn't been released. To say we were blown away is an understatement. We made the band come back for 4 encores making Alvin Lee wait 45 minutes. When he came out, he was po'd. You could see it. Yes never opened for anyone again after that tour.
well i think its because most of the people that listen to music only want to hear songs about hawt girls or from hawt girls , and well yes sings about love not lust , love is not as hard to sell as lust so love looses the popularity game.
The perfect tribute to Americana and the Atkins/Travis picking style, done perfectly by an Englishman. The 7th;s and right hand picking style are spot on. If you get a chance, look up any of the short videos on Merle Travis, Chet Atkins and Joe Maphis, Steve Howe has summed up that amazing indiosyncratic style when it was totally out of favo (in 1971). I haven't listened to this in years. Fantastic.
Steve howe is awesome. But as a composer AND guitarist, Richard Thompson is THE MAN!! Check him out if you haven't heard of him. Often rated the greatest acoustic guitarist in popular music.
i feel sorry for some people that i hear saying that metal guitarist is the best or that hard rock guitarist is the best....they just miss the important part of the music.....maybe is media fault though....i am happy to be able to appreciate the good stuff...
@moderator67 I'm a metalhead/metal guitarist, and I totally agree with you. There's a lot of typical and generic playing in the contemporary metal world. And the metal or hard rock guitarists who are more diverse with their sound and technique get it from the old prog. bands/guitarists. Mikael Akerfeldt is a huge example.
Steve, el más grande de sus tiempos y de todos los tiempos!!! Recuerdo en Rosaenz de Mendoza cuando nos juntábamos a tocar éstos temas!!! Qué buenos recuerdos eh?
Steve Howe always melts my face, truly and uber technical talent. He kinda looks like a creepy guy that bagged groceries at a neighborhood market where I went to school.
This must be track 3 from the live ABWH album. I will never understand why this guy is never mentioned with the supposedly great guitarists of our time. I've seen Yes a few times and Steve has the longest fingers that I've ever seen. Most recently was a special concert by the original Yes a couple of years ago. There he sits at a steel guitar playing it like he was born with it. Never broke out the ES 175 but he did play the Martin 000. Fantastic. It just doesn't get any better.
@robadude32 Ditto ! It's Steve's knowledge of music and his ability to write it that makes him so great, not to mention he has the longest fingers I've ever seen. Steve, Di Meola, Page, Clapton. These are the true musicians, plus a few more.
First rock concert I ever went to changed this 49 year old man's life. Donovan opened, solo, for YES, at Madison Square in NY, 1976. Some of you were what -- negative 15 in age back then?
Here's to YES, learning what came before us, so we can take it where it needs to go.
And the youtubes of the world. Where in the NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.
@SonicBrunoth Don't be too hard on the children who don't like this. They've been raised in an age where music wasn't created by musicians but by corporate entities for the purpose of making money. The 3 minute sound bite has come of age, although most of the pap these days has a bit of a job padding out an advertising jingle to the required length; hence the dingbat talking in the middle, sorry rapping.
@fairmount1935 You do realize that Yes included Rick Wakeman and other keyboardist over the years, using... synthesizers and such, right? Not trying to burst your bubble at all, your statement is still true in any case. :)
@fairmount1935 U're overreacting... rap can be very creative, and moustly intensive on it's lyrics... I love rock over all in the world, but maybe U'r too close of mind... just a thought
Why don't we not only hear more about Howe, one of my all time favorite guitarists, but Yes as a band in general. They are certainly up there in leading edge music, musicianship, song craftsmanship . . .. everything.
i saw Yes around 1979 in new haven ct Steve played this masterpiece the concert was in the round i thought i had crappy seats and when i got there i was six rows back.One of my all time favorite shows!!
Wonderful guitar music. Howe is extraordinary and possibly the most unique of all, and I'm including Morse, my all time favorite in there. I saw Yes in early 2010 and they were fantastic. Really really fantastic.
"The Clap" is his tribute to Chet Atkins, which is obvious. I once read an interview with Howe where he was asked why he named this "The Clap"; especially given the term's use as a nickname for an STD. He said the title had nothing to do with that, it was him "clapping" for Chet Atkins, as Chet changed the way he thought about and approached the guitar.
En cuanto a the clap,es una mezcla de picardia,humor y trascendencia..Es que el ser espiritual no excluye al vagabundo de Chaplin que conquista el amor de la ciega obligandose a pasar por rico, o que come de la mesa del rico pagando a cambio con una demostración de principios..Finalmente trasciende tanto que pareciera como si un dios se riese tambien a carcajadas...Sublime composición,.
La belleza de este tema se sustenta en su dualidad cual somete sus texturas,Mood for a Day es una suma de lo clásico y lo popular,el sentimiento que evoca es tan personal de Howe como su busqueda de un sonido que se interne en el espíritu humano para lograr su conciliación..Esa tristeza es pasajera,la tristeza no debiera durar mas de un día y va acompañada de la lucha por retirarla y superarla.
Howe is brilliant. I keep banging on about Wakeman to my friends but I can't forget the other members. Even so, what on earth is he wearing? It looks like a cross between a suit and pyjamas.
Much as I like and admire Steve Howe, I do wish he would stop messing around with Clap. Why fix something that aint bust? The Yes Album version was the original and best. I have to say that some amateur guitarists on YT are coming very to close to that too. Look in my fav's for a prime example. He should also have stayed away from playing the, nylon strung, classical guitar. He is very clumsy when he ventures in that direction.
@Gangly1 Well the original may be the best, but I for one hate when musicians play their solos exactly the same way every time. He always plays Mood on nylon.
Mood is not as difficult as he tries to make it appear. Even I can play it...and I have a day job! His unnecessary opening passage is clumsy and disjointed. Admit it.
He quotes the music from the Fellini film La Strada (by Nino Rota) before he starts "Mood..." Very cool! Its on Youtube...I don't know how to link to video...
I can't understand why the media rant & rave about the likes of Hendrix & Clapton, but guys like Howe & Hackett are unheard of by comparison. I only know Steve Howe through my dad.
Just goes to show, the music media couldn't care less about actual 'music', what's more important is 'image' and 'cultural significance'. Plus, the fact that the music media has waged a war against anything remotely prog rock since the sex pistols came along.
@LordRassy maybe because only you and i, and some other few prog lovers are interested in this. most of people likes instead "pop", meant in every way, also as guitar playing. unfortunately the "war" has been done by people who buy records, preferring punk instead of prog, and not by music media or labels. they simply work for people's demands... the problem has always been "our friends don't like our same strange music"
It's all about the looks man, especially these days.
And Yes is a great band but even in the 80's when they hit it big with Owner of a Lonely Heart most bandmembers were allready 40/50 years old so that was always a problem, Hendrix didn't have that probleem because he became an idol with his upside down guitar ''magical'' clothing and afro hair do.
@MrDunkJunk Really sad because I prefer Howe over Hendrix and Clapton anyday.
Listen to the track Shock to the System and other songs like that.. it isn't always difficult or very technical but the sound that comes out of his guitar is always mindblowing..
@LordRassy Apples and oranges man..all are amazing players just with WAY different styles ..Music media haha.,,,they're stupid.. Just look how they passed over RUSH for the R&R hall of fame again this year..37 gold n platinum albums isnt good enough i guess LMAO
@LordRassy yeah same i only heard of steve through my dad id only been exposed to the guitar through the likes of hendrix,clapton ....etc. i know for a fact those guys have nothing on steve howe in terms of the guitar thankgod other generations can now apreciate him through these youtube videos
@TheReilly8 thats not true my friend. Hendrix was a genius. You can't compare the mind of a psychadelic player to the mind of a prog guitarist. In terms of technical ability and versatility, sure he's better. But when you look at it, learning and getting good at a lot of styles isn't the same as being a sonic visionary. granted howe had that to a degree, but one listen to All Along the Watch Tower or Bold as Love and you can hear that no one ever did that before Hendrix. He deserves the credit.

Wonderful guitar music. Howe is extraordinary and possibly the most unique of all, and I'm including Morse, my all time favorite in there. I saw Yes in early 2010 and they were fantastic. Really really fantastic.

"The Clap" is his tribute to Chet Atkins, which is obvious. I once read an interview with Howe where he was asked why he named this "The Clap"; especially given the term's use as a nickname for an STD. He said the title had nothing to do with that, it was him "clapping" for Chet Atkins, as Chet changed the way he thought about and approached the guitar.
BRAVO, MR. HOWE!!!!!

En cuanto a the clap,es una mezcla de picardia,humor y trascendencia..Es que el ser espiritual no excluye al vagabundo de Chaplin que conquista el amor de la ciega obligandose a pasar por rico, o que come de la mesa del rico pagando a cambio con una demostración de principios..Finalmente trasciende tanto que pareciera como si un dios se riese tambien a carcajadas...Sublime composición,.

La belleza de este tema se sustenta en su dualidad cual somete sus texturas,Mood for a Day es una suma de lo clásico y lo popular,el sentimiento que evoca es tan personal de Howe como su busqueda de un sonido que se interne en el espíritu humano para lograr su conciliación..Esa tristeza es pasajera,la tristeza no debiera durar mas de un día y va acompañada de la lucha por retirarla y superarla.

Howe is brilliant. I keep banging on about Wakeman to my friends but I can't forget the other members. Even so, what on earth is he wearing? It looks like a cross between a suit and pyjamas.

Much as I like and admire Steve Howe, I do wish he would stop messing around with Clap. Why fix something that aint bust? The Yes Album version was the original and best. I have to say that some amateur guitarists on YT are coming very to close to that too. Look in my fav's for a prime example. He should also have stayed away from playing the, nylon strung, classical guitar. He is very clumsy when he ventures in that direction.
On the Gibson he is unsurpassed!

@Gangly1 Well the original may be the best, but I for one hate when musicians play their solos exactly the same way every time. He always plays Mood on nylon.

Mood is not as difficult as he tries to make it appear. Even I can play it...and I have a day job! His unnecessary opening passage is clumsy and disjointed. Admit it.

@Gangly1 I never said it wasn't. I only said that he always plays it on nylon. I find no fault with the opening.

I can't understand why the media rant & rave about the likes of Hendrix & Clapton, but guys like Howe & Hackett are unheard of by comparison. I only know Steve Howe through my dad.
Just goes to show, the music media couldn't care less about actual 'music', what's more important is 'image' and 'cultural significance'. Plus, the fact that the music media has waged a war against anything remotely prog rock since the sex pistols came along.
LordRassy 1 year ago 47
@LordRassy maybe because only you and i, and some other few prog lovers are interested in this. most of people likes instead "pop", meant in every way, also as guitar playing. unfortunately the "war" has been done by people who buy records, preferring punk instead of prog, and not by music media or labels. they simply work for people's demands... the problem has always been "our friends don't like our same strange music"
danielexr 1 year ago
@LordRassy Yeah you're absolutely right.
Do you know why?
It's all about the looks man, especially these days.
And Yes is a great band but even in the 80's when they hit it big with Owner of a Lonely Heart most bandmembers were allready 40/50 years old so that was always a problem, Hendrix didn't have that probleem because he became an idol with his upside down guitar ''magical'' clothing and afro hair do.

@MrDunkJunk Really sad because I prefer Howe over Hendrix and Clapton anyday.
Listen to the track Shock to the System and other songs like that.. it isn't always difficult or very technical but the sound that comes out of his guitar is always mindblowing..

@TheReilly8 thats not true my friend. Hendrix was a genius. You can't compare the mind of a psychadelic player to the mind of a prog guitarist. In terms of technical ability and versatility, sure he's better. But when you look at it, learning and getting good at a lot of styles isn't the same as being a sonic visionary. granted howe had that to a degree, but one listen to All Along the Watch Tower or Bold as Love and you can hear that no one ever did that before Hendrix. He deserves the credit.
