Steve Howe - And You And I

[@kylergarcia7359]

I love how he tapped out the little drum part before the chord strumming comes in.

[@lesHanalala]

Ummm... Bass part, no?

Steve Howe was voted ‘Best Overall Guitarist’ in Guitar Player magazine five years in a row (1977-1981). I repeat --- 5 years in a row!!!! In 1981 he was the first rock guitar player inducted into the Guitar Player Hall of Fame. He was the and is the greatest --- enough said

[@54jonesboy]

Thanks HoweEs175 for your Gift of music!

[@robertm4757]

Apart from being a virtuouso, Steve is also the cleanest and most honest guitarist of all time which this clip effectively illustrates.

[@iamboomer.4673]

Honestly i disagree. From what i've seen from a few songs,Howe has this thing where he alternates from a sloppy guitarist to a clean one. Not bad by any means,actually one of my favourites. But something like the guitar solo of close to the edge,while jaw dropping is extremely sloppy. Also something like the yours is no disgrace solo,and the multitude of solos on gates of delirium also the clap. But then his rhythm section just steels the show by how clean it is.

[@lotusglobe2671]

@@iamboomer.4673 Yeah but COME ON MAN!!! Have you heard how sloppy Jimmy Page is when he plays guitar solos? That's sloppy in a cringey way! Steve's sloppiness seems intentional if you ask me. It's what gives his playing a special edge. When you compare to the guitar solo on Awaken from the original GFTO album to the live version on KTA, the album version actually sounds way cooler. The live version seemed a bit too sanitary (although still awesome). You're being a bit too harsh with Steve's technique if you ask me.

[@jskypercussion]

@@iamboomer.4673 Steve's solo on CTTH live Keys To Ascension 1996 is flawlessly clean. Remember, back in the early 70's it was really hard for guitarists to keep clean control sound of the guitar live before these new convenient digital systems came out. He is a clean precise player.

[@serphvarna4154]

Im a huge fan but he's pretty sloppy and you can clearly hear his mistakes on official song releases (not that its bad, its cool to notice these details) so i wouldnt call him clean at all

[@dariodiiasio6786]

wow if steve' s sloppy then I AM SHITTY! ahah

Steve Hower is the greatest rock guitarist who ever lived.

[@vibefrequencyable]

I would agree he maybe up there...technically maybe not ...but when ypu include musicality and composition...perhaps.

[@ciliaris2]

No one plays as many styles and kinds of guitars as Steve. No one is close.

[@ricklogan3328]

Howe...

[@juana1483]

Certainly in the top two. Lol

[@jskypercussion]

@@vibefrequencyable Technically he is up there. He has stuff more challenging than some of the others guitarists that are always viewed as technical.

Steve Howe has to be one of the most underrated guitar players ever!

[@michaelkerins897]

Not so - he's the only guitarist to hold "best all around" titles for some years in a row on Guitar Player Magazine.

[@sgtpepper91]

he's literally one of the most acclaimed guitar players of all time, how is he underrated lmao?

[@michaelkerins897]

You are correct I have seen many make the false assertion he is underrated. He's won best guitar player 7 times in a row Guitar Player magazine. Bill Nelson is underrated

[@weps2097]

My favorite guitarist since the early 70s. Clap and Mood for a Day are the best acoustic pieces.

[@junebugger19]

This is mush easier to grasp from a 6 string and seeing exactly what he does. After mastering it, its a fun piece on my 12 String. Too many people being critical. He showed us on a 6 string and now its up to you, what you do with it. This is for learning............not entertainment!

[@andrerenault]

It certainly doesn't sound the same on 6 strings, but it does help figure out what the correct notes are to fret.

[@VTwinFunster]

Whatch Steve play this at Tavistock Wharf on Monday this week. I now feel inspired! Thanks for the video, Steve :-)

[@19del69]

He's the best there is - just unparalleled in abilities and delicate touch! Though he looks like Skeletore He'll leave you wanting more!

[@JCridford]

I've run out of superlatives to describe Steve so I will just say this: I have never seen anyone other than him fret a D chord shape that way!

[@mtebor]

I never even thought of doing a D like that

[@JCridford]

@@mtebor It's so strange, I can only assume he learned it that way when he first started playing and just never altered it.

I saw Yes for the first time on June 16th, 2010 and was truely blown away. Howe, Squire and the rest of the band took me to a place emotionally that is difficult to express in words. I plan on trying to learn some of the tunes off Close to the Edge. Thanks for the video and to Steve for sharing these licks with other guitarists.

It was Yessongs on VHS recorded December 16,1972 at London's Rainbow Theater...he holds the Giannini Craviola 12-string in an odd straight up position and plays the "Cord of Life" intro section...

[@pschroeter1]

The part that's always bedeviled me is the section in the middle where he reprises this but then goes into some very fascinating strumming starting about "Sad preacher nailed upon …" I think he's just hitting open strings but I could never get it to sound right.

[@stewartfraser2574]

I listened to this beautiful virtuosic solo all through my teenage years, it is truly sublime and ageless, thank you Steve Howe for this piece of magic.

Why isn’t Steve Howe mentioned in Every list of Best guitar players ever??

[@igorrodrigues97.]

because he didnt play so much mainstream stuffs

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

Many thanks for posting, Steve. My problem is that, although I'd previously figured this part out myself, I've never quite been able to suss the chord directly AFTER this, which begins the NEXT part. I like to think I have excellent melodic sense but that is one challenging chord change... I think I'll go see what the other AY&I lessons say... Thanks again!

[@Yanto-Bardic]

Most guitarists when fretting "D" Shape use their First,Middle & Third Fingers. Mr Howe uses his Middle, Third & Pinky.🙃

[@juana1483]

[@juliodavid49]

Thank you Steve. I love this song and every time I picked up my twelve string it reminded me of it. So I stumbled on to your video and did what you did and it sounds great. Right now I'm just doing the chord part and later I'll try to learn the other parts. Great video. Thank you.

[@GreenGestalt]

This is probably the most memorable guitaur intro and it was accidental. Steve was just checking his Guitaur before they recorded the song in the studio but it was so good they had to keep it.

[@Yanto-Bardic]

True. That's why he says "Okay"... as he is then Ready, he hadn't realised they were already taping.

[@uv77mc85]

Shame he never plays it like the record. He always improvises it and it's never as good. It's easy enough to learn as well.

[@pinamar13]

Ateve Hawe love you!!! and you and i .

[@stlflyguy]

I think I requested this before, and I just wanted to say "thank you."

[@joetahoe777]

@34tgroan I am sure there are times when a sweet series of chords or picks "comes to you", something new yet strangely familiar at the same time. Record them in any way you can, no matter how short they are, and then piece them together with your heart and you are well on your way my friend. I never thought I could play Roundabout until one day I broke it down and realized the beauty is in its small simple parts...all strung together.

[@LeathanL]

Been playing guitar for close to 30 years now, and I have never seen another guitarist fret out a straight "campfire" D major chord with his middle, ring, and pinky, like Mr Howe is doing. I can see how it would leave your index free to hit bass notes if desired. Heh, you learn something everyday!

[@Squammish]

Yes, it's standard, as are most of Howe's other pieces.

[@NilezII]

I like the "percussion" he provides at 1:00!

[@LosBombero]

Try D-A-D-G-B-D tuning. Lets that D bass note ring nicely during chord strum. Playing single notes is an EZ adjustment.

[@DoU12Rock]

@mjw9363 it is standard tuning, he uses drop d on sketches in the sun on twelve string, but usually he is in standard eadgbe

[@cheapcharlieredhorse2286]

Kool! :)

[@boanerges144]

From now on whenever I do a D chord I am doing it the Steve Howe way.

[@unnombreaqui]

what's the name of the first technique? very good play!

[@CanalFalarFluente]

Harmonics are not the same he played on the studio version, but are equally beautiful, though.

It's a 1977 Martin SOM-45. A re-issue of Martin's early OM design.

[@sheistcoff]

Watching these Steve Howe videos, it appears as if the guitar is not being held (like it is being held in place on a stand of some sort) by Steve Howe. One never sees the neck or the guitar moving. Anyone have any thoughts on why this might be?

@mjw9363 yes by watching and playing along and i do play it right, i bought the music from steve howe and i do also play rainsong and play it correctly in dgcgcd tuning bought that music to and it is right on with the way page plays it. just because you can't figure it out doesn't mean others can't
