Cool that Steve has provided these finger-by-finger guides. I turned onto Yes in 1975, as a freshman in college. At their best, they are hard to beat. But not for everyone. They played in odd times and continuously changed times and keys. To this day I can't play Bruford's lines on LDR or even hit the accents on the last movement of Siberian Khatru. Howe's solo on SK-Yessong's is just one of his many classic recordings. 7/8 time I think. For me, Howe will always be one of the very best.

@Helicon2112 I can certainly recommend King Crimson (anything from 1969 - 1974) as pretty blooming magical, and some of it is VERY heavy, and would certainly appeal to most metal heads. One of the heaviest pieces of music I've ever heard, are the choruses to "Larks' Tongues in Aspic: Part 1", that song blows my mind so deliciously when the chorus comes in!

@jhnrcknjr Actual music with talent must seem strange and unfamilar to them

@PutItAway101 no 30 seconds to mars sounds like this...



Listen to your friends. They have great taste in music. I grew up listening to Ozzy, Metallica, Iron Maiden etc., but before I started listening to that I was listening to Pink Floyd, YES, Jethro Tull, Zeppelin, The Who, etc. Broaden your music horizons with these older bands. There's more out there than just metal. You'd be surprised at what you'd get into if you give it a chance. Your missing out on some of the best music ever made.

...that's because Howe is MUSICAL. Melodies like this are eternal and Howe is tapping into something deep -- like YES or not, it is hard to argue with this! Lots of people can play, but not all are musical.
