nobody can pay like him. nobody. im a classicaly trained guitarist and i recognize that this isnt as technically proper perhaps as a "real" classical guitarist, but there is nobody alive who can say as much with a guitar as he can (or play so well in as many genres!). his sound, tone, technique (though not "proper classical"), and emotional connection are unsurpassed, and there is something else about his playing but its not sometihng that can be described with words. as he says. when words fail

The most versatile guitarist of all time!!!

@ASeasonedWitch Well I was really stretching the truth when I made that comment. The truth is I haven't played that song in over 30 years. As a matter of fact I haven't played anything hardly. I just put it down one day and never picked it back up. My guitar used to go with me everywhere. I have been thinking about picking it up again. I still have an old classical sitting in the corner of the living room.

@CoastConFan - I'm with you in those sentiments. I am also fairly certain that at least some works of YES will be heard in the near centuries.

@charliemc2 - well I understand how you feel. Still it's lots of fun playing isn't it? Cheers from another YES listener.

[charliemc2]

yes he is great I used to play mood for a day until I saw him on YouTube and realized how poorly I was playing it.

those jokes were not funny, at all

muzikislife9 what a load of bullshit you speak. You should listen to John Williams playing this. Nobody my arse1

@muzikislife9 I totally agree! Given the same piece of music, a classically trained guitarist will be pleased by different sounds compared to the rock guitarist (or jazz guitarist, etc.). Thus, there will be two different "playings" of the piece; neither necessarily "incorrect". Howe's interpretation of the concerto is acoustically superb.

[CoastConFan]

Vivaldi's works are remembered 300 years later, I can only hope that Steve Howe's are appreciated 300 years from now.

All I can say about Steve Howe and this may seem contrite or clique' , but WOW!
