Steve Howe - Wurm

[theamazingzivmaster]

Its weird how you can listen to nearly 4 minutes of the same 3 chords going over again and not get tired of it.

[MrAlfredoferreira]

I lkoveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeee



[Raelspark]

The 3 chords are G, Eb, and C, I notice that the fingering is the same, I am not sure of where he's putting those fingers. I have to keep watching and pausing this video.

[talpajam]

very easy to play actually...EJ sorta copped this kinda riff in his bag of tools...i jam on it all the time again simple to execute

[Doctorbeermaker]

It's worth listening to Bodast's Nether Street to hear the first incarnation of this riff.  Mind you, Yes do take it to an art form, surely the best three chord progression ever.

[TheSponky]

what is the chord?

[tednugentlives]

@TheSponky basically C/G slash chord.

[BrommaExpress]

Took only two views and after that I could play it!

Thanks Steve!

[TheReilly8]

i couldnt help mouth guitar soloing over this

[bmwluvr2003]

best chord progression ever, period!

[Doctor50120]

klap, klap,...

[LtStarkiller]

My favorite 3 chords ever.

[1234tetsutetsu]

I didn't know that the bass sound of this part was played by Steve not by Chris. I first knew it a few minutes ago. I've been listening to Yes for more than 20 years but still I'm a novice audience. *sigh*

[cheeseppuff]

omg PERFECT, just found the chords(some of my favortie) and have been learning it, cant play it like you but ill get there.

[PinoKakelkip]

@cheeseppuff I don't think you will... This is Steve Howe!

[chest002]

@cheeseppuff You do know that is Steve showing how to play Starship Trooper. This riff has been branded into my memory since 1973. It is my understanding that Steve use to sell "how to" dvds at his later concerts.I dont think it was likely that he planned on having it on Youtube. None the less I can appreciate learning from the man himself. Thank you Steve for sharing your technique. I look forward to another Yes tour.

[simpletones1]

awaken

[wccoffee1]

i was humming this song in my head 26 yrs ago this week to stay calm before i got married.sitting in the back room with the preacher,my best man and yes is one of my great memories.thank you steve.

[MARI007100]

facil a simple vista je je linda manera de deslizar sol....!!!

[magicalbilly]

why are people talking about cumunists?

[cheeseppuff]

amazing, love how you moved your finger up to get that bass sound

[leeinbgky]

All rise for our national anthem. :)

[wideawakeinotown]

@leeinbgky i love it man!

[zbaby82]

Nice!

[ke228]

One of my favorite riffs!

[jstarang1]

i think this is the simplest piece howe ever wrote and the only one i can play lol

[CarlloLombardo]

Just slide the chord position, right???

[gsrezende]

so simple and, yet, so lovely

[lxKazxl]

This section just hypnotizes me... Whenever i listen to Starhip Trooper, this is where i shut my eyes and enjoy the music.

[OssieSG]

@lxKazxl Yeah... me to... it takes me to another fuckin' place!!!

[cdmacdonald2112]

It's only basic information I laid down, and yes, YES and Steve Howe are musical genii.

[UngratefulLiving420]

communists? stalin? idk wtf you guys are talking about, yes is the shit though

[altractors]

How did the comments get onto 'bugger everyone but me'? We should be dicssing the quality of the music

[OssieSG]

@altractors Totally agree.

[altractors]

Thanks!

[ubpunked2bad]

WTF ! hey I thought we we digging Steve, what went wrong here ? Im not getting into it but it does not look like anything about Steve.... I have been into Steve and Yes since 1970 and OMG ... im black. Been to every concert since then, I have met them several times and thank goodness they see things through non polarized eyes...

C'mon guys enjoy what we wont have forever....

[ODonnell94]

@ubpunked2bad What has being black got to do with anything?

[lolodlavielleho]

@ODonnell94 dude, or your joking, or your a plain dumbass.

[JesuitFarmer]

@ubpunked2bad hahaha you're funny. A black guy who likes yes, OMG!

[raynsung]

@ubpunked2bad man i hate being 14. no one knows about/ enjoys yes and steve howe at my age. Wish i was listening to these guys since 1970 like you...

[chest002]

@raynsung I think it is highly unlikely that you are not the only young person to admire this extremly talented group. Most old guys that have the music thing in them culture their kids properly. I saw Yes in 1973 at duke University. During those times, if you were cool, that is what you did. You looked in Rolling Stone Magazine for the next big gig. That was before cable tv and the internet. I saw many shows, but Yes is my favorite. They are fantasitc live. I hope they come to NC one more time.

[acr08807]

@ubpunked2bad How much does it cost to get your eyes Polarized?

[aureliosjc]

rednecks:

retards like you

[aureliosjc]

shitty redneck and bush lover.

[TheRemorselessCold]

I love your artistic ways of getting ideas across the internet.

We should discuss this use of the English Language over tea. :)

[manferot]

Aaaaaah so that's how I was playing it wrong.  It's only a C/G voicing the first few times, then you jump from the 5th string to the 6th string into A G/C shape for the rest of the way. Clever.

[poetlorryit]

Is that lead guitar strings? I am unable to replicate this with mine tuned to ebgdae. New to guitar pls forgive ignorance.

[s1914]

Wicked tone. Wonder what amp he's using?

[ChaosInExpansion]

I think it's a fender twin reverb

[FutureTimes]

I have this CD but it is so old it won't play on newer computers how did you get them off your CD?

Thanks,

Tim

[Cash2112]

I can even play this one! ;^)

[aureliosjc]

NO, YOU CANT. SON OF A BITCH AND LIAR.

[Cash2112]

Even an obnoxious POS like you can learn to play Wurm.

[aureliosjc]

be quiet, retard son of a bitch

[Cash2112]

fuck off cuntbag.

[aureliosjc]

I ordered you to be quiet, piece of shit.

[aureliosjc]

NAZI AND RACIST REPUBLICAN

[Cash2112]

I ordered you to FUCK OFF!!!

[Cash2112]

You're a savage from the 3rd world, you sad sack of shit.

[aureliosjc]

SHUT UP, RETARD NAZI MONKEY

[Cash2112]

This is what happens when they let 3rd world savages have computers.

[aureliosjc]

be quiet, retard republican shit

[Cash2112]

Being a Marxist/Leninist is nothing to be proud of.  Where are you from, communist Venezuela?

[aureliosjc]

No, Im from Brasil and Im not a communist/marxist. You should study more and check that not all south americans are communists.

[Cash2112]

Those SA banana republics are all the same; don't you have your own version of Hugo Chavez? He said something to the effect that the economic crisis was caused by "blonde people with blue eyes". Quite a brilliant communist I'd say.

[aureliosjc]

You should STUDY some politics and all.

You are one more RETARD REDNECK that doesnt like to read and study.

[Cash2112]

You don't even know what a red neck is you wetback beaner.

[cdmacdonald2112]

No on is or ever has been a proper communist. It never reached that far, to get to cummunism you have to go through socialism, where one person dictates all the rules of communism out, then to begin the period of communism gives us his power. Now can you guess what went wrong? Yep they dont want to give up their power. So it is more apt to call people socialists rather than communists.

[Cash2112]

Oh really? I just returned from a trip to Ukraine and guess what they call the Soviets who usurped their government and occupied their country for 70+ years? Communists. Are you saying that Stalin wasn't a communist dictator?

[cdmacdonald2112]

Yes. Simply because to have 'true communism' there is no dictator, don;t you see? I'm not denying they have communst goals or tendancies, i'm just saying it's innacurate to call them communists when they are truly lving in a socialist state. You can call them anything it's your right, i'm just pointing out the fact that there never has been a true communist state, because it's pretty impossible to achieve. So long as one man has power over another, it's not communism.

[Cash2112]

So your message is: "Communism is just dandy; it just hasn't been implemented properly yet". I understand that this is the propaganda that the leftist professors are spewing in our universities these days.

[cdmacdonald2112]

I have never been to university, and no, when in my previous comments have i stated that i support communism? Not at all, i wasn't even attacking your opinion, simply wanting to point out what i saw as an interesting fact.

[memberofslash]

yo.. you need to shut the fuck up. now!

[Cash2112]

@ memberofslash: yo, you need to fuck off bitch. I didn't start it, but I finished it.

[memberofslash]

i don't know who you are. but don't you EVER swear at me again.

[memberofslash]

i don't care about your opinions

[magicalbilly]

@TheRemorselessCold

[PMLonergan]

Porra, esses americanos são fodas. Não aguento eles...

enfim, você gosta de Yes mesmo ?

É bem raro achar uma pessoa que goste

[CarlloLombardo]

Eu gosto do YES.Sou brasileiro.

[CarlloLombardo]

Jesus.You´re a real ASSHOLE.Just back off from this web site.

O imbecil ainda usa no nickname o título do glorioso trabalho do Rush.Uma vergonha esses primatas metidos a sofisticados acessarem a rede mundial de computadores.

Just grow up!

[Cash2112]

Hey CL: Fuck off. Its always hilarious when 3rd world Brazilians get on the internet and use portuguese like its a top secret code that can't be translated.

[Jig1123]

o_O That was entirely uncalled for.

[lummond]

I could listen to that all day. Over and over again. Seeing them in Toronto tonight!

[FretMaster90]

There's nobody that plays the solo part of Wurm on youtube....please post it!

[scyen]

Do the solo, please. There are already a MILLION videos like this showing the backgroud guitar outro.

[roanmol]

Great collection "dance songs"

its posible adding "AMERICA" ????

[roanmol]

hi man

have you a vachalia ¿???????????

i´ve asked all around Portugal and "nobody knows about it ¿?¿?¿?¿?

then i luv still more a vachalia

[hoty1957]

hi man

have you a vachalia ¿???????????

i´ve asked all around Portugal and "nobody knows about it ¿?¿?¿?¿?

then i luv still more a vachalia

Steve didn`t know what it was at the time so he called it a "vachalia". It`s called a Portuguese 12 string (bandurria) and can be had for a few hundred dollars.....

[TrueBeginner]

Would love to see "Disillusion" too!
