Yes - Siberian Khatru - Guitar Cover + Lap Steel (Second Time)

[@newhampshirelifestyle4233]

I remember watching Yes in the Boston Garden in 1979. They opened with this song on the round stage. I was just 10 rows away, I was mesmerized.

[@JulyValls]

Amazing! You are very lucky

[@martinmaddock8674]

Madison Square Garden for me in NY! I also was in the first 10 rows . Sending vibrations right on through me. YES! ❤

[@marktheelf53]

I remenber YES many years ago in Rome. They opened the show with this song but, due the terrific acoustic on Palasport concrete-made, i never heard the bass...then tecnicians modified something to have a good concert...

[@M400fan]

They should have reversed the track order on CTTE - this has “album opener” written all over it - and concert opener too! Steve’s riff here is one of his best ever! Great cover!

[@edf13]

Saw them in July that year. Best concert ever for me.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Impressive. People don't realize the skill & complexity of The phenomenal Steve Howe. Enjoyed your playing.

[@michaelgraham9774]

I don't think I've ever met someone who hears Howe era Yes and said "that doesn't sound too hard"

[@lohollywood1f428]

I'm trying to play Heart of the Sunrise and Howe's playing is really weird, his picking style is really confusing to get down and his phrasing of riffs are hard to get down at some times, especially when its doubled by organ and getting in sync with it.

[@michaelcollums4452]

Great job it's good to see the younger generation digging Yes

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot Michael! very happy that you enjoy it : D

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

Ditto

[@Existmusiccloud]

great👍👍👍!!

[@marzzz1]

Why did KZbin wait nearly 7 years to recommend this to me? Truly a superlative rendition! But now imagine singing the harmonies at the same time...even Howe has said he has a great deal of difficulty doing so.

[@yes_head]

Nice job. This is a perfect demonstration of why Bill Bruford called Yes compositions "head arrangements." What made the band so great is how they made playing a song like this sound so effortless.

[@Bret-]

Damn good. Fun to watch.

[@boycewebb]

44 k views! I’v only watched it maybe ten times. - Boyce Webb - well done 👏

[@petersuitch3129]

Awesome! Steve Howe would be proud! If Steve goes on vacation you could step in.

[@martinmaddock8674]

Fantastic job! Keep rockin"!

[@batugoker3158]

It is a pity that you will never be appreciated enough since even the Steve Howe himself could not get the appreciation he deserved.. for me he is the best guitarist ever. His ability of playing and composing is way beyond every guitar players and even guitarists you can name of. Well played July!

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot. There is no problem in no being popular. I mean i make this videos becouse I love the man and his music. I think the same. I think Steve is incredible. He has amazing skills in the instrument but is even better in composition and arragment. I really love his music soo much! I'm soo happy that you enjoy the video The best to you

[@MrLeoYaus]

Fruisciante called this outro the best solo... being disconnected yet perfect

[@learn_live]

Right on. . .one of my fav pieces!

[@mikeolivier6794]

Agree, Steve is the best. The way he fuses jazz and rock and effortlessly meanders around the fret board with jazz cords between time signatures (as if he's pondering what to play next or just improvising) is truly amazing. Even infusing rockabilly. For all his talent, he never lets you forget that his music has humble beginnings and it's a shame he's under appreciated. Masterful composer. Siberian Khatru is grounded in rock while at the same time, the lap steel transports you into a different world. You captured the song as it spoke to me after all these years. You have a great talent - thank you!

[@Palabrist]

This made me cry my fucking eyes out. I grew up with this song. Well played, sir, damn well played.

[@petermastronardi6641]

I could only move my body to this song for years this guy is actually playing it, pretty awesome!! Saw Yes 40 times live loved every show. Best band all-time in my opinion!!

[@CommeSpock]

merci et bravo, ça fait tellement plaisir de voir des jeunes reprendre ces vieux morceaux !

[@dev_john_]

BADASS!!! Killed it man

[@oraziococlite7641]

Bravo, ma bravo proprio. E che suono stupendo.

[@Xeopuppy]

Truly awesome, I could never imagine playing that, Steve Howe is too hard for me to try, love the slide guitar, nearly got the Steve Howe head movement right too.

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot !!! very happy that you enjoy this video :) The best to you : D

[@eduardoOlima]

Nice playing Mr Howe😃

[@michaelward5670]

That opening riff is jaw dropping, heart stopping, awesome. Pops up pleasantly in my head from time to time. Been that way for years now. Thank you.

[@noordcop1]

Fantastic how you nailed this classic.......

[@paulbennett772]

Isolation of instruments shows how each member of Yes served the song, and Siberian Khatru is easily the best example, since it's one of the most logically assembled of all YesSongs. There was no lead guitar break, but Steve was playing lead throughout! It can be argued that the lead instrument is the bass! But again, Chris served the song by playing what it required.

[@dannyortega382]

clean 👌🏽

[@Wikingo]

Superb cover and exercise. Great good job July!

[@tjsound1258]

Sharing on my FB feeds. Great performance. Love the tone as well. I realize this is from seven years ago. I hope you have enjoyed a phenomenal musical experience since!

[@papunAlicea]

Congratulations, great job God bless

[@bradnewman7018]

Wow! Just WOW! Amazing,,, and it makes me appreciate the complexity of the song and their music

[@peterkropp5603]

Excellent …

[@singhhalla1624]

Wow! I am stunned. What a performance! Brilliance, accuracy and just happy playing! You've got it!!

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot my friend :)

[@timsharkey1993]

Nice work! 👍🏻👍🏻 Once again we see why there are not many YES cover bands. 😄

[@HyperboreanBreeze]

Fantastic!

[@jonfinger6482]

Steve Howe has always been my favorite guitarist and you give me hope in carrying the torch so to speak on enlightening a new generation of musicians to Yes

[@JulyValls]

+Jon Finger thanks a lot Jon!!! :)

[@sydviscous7006]

Amazing playing dude! You crushed it!

[@wuthering61]

Grande! Bravissimo!

[@joemoore5830]

[@rogerc2058]

Oh my God! Wasn't expecting the lap steel too!! Extraordinary!

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot really :)

[@tramlad2]

Brilliant job, one of my favourite Yes tracks superb

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot :)

[@joeceonnia1954]

Very very nice, spot on mate

[@MrJazzharmonie1]

excellent work and also what is rare in this kind of video excellent balance between the CD playing and the guitar of this excellent musician !!

[@mirageowl]

This is one of the best covers I have listened on KZbin of any song. Amazing sounds!

[@Tarkus7]

Excellent! Very smooth! You make it seem so effortless. I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you! One of my favorite pieces of music.

[@todddrake5567]

Nice work thanks for posting.

[@philiphamer4764]

Wow, brilliant.

[@martinmaddock8674]

Awesome! Hope you’re in a Yes cover band w like minded and talented musicians. We’ll need the music to go on long after all the original band members are gone. ❤

[@Zanthanee]

Fantastically done!! Bravo..

[@757flyer]

Your majesty-I am speechless.

[@axeltaglia]

Genio total July!

[@JulyValls]

Hola Axel!! jajaja gracias ya estoy ansioso de subir lo nuestro!

[@davekovak]

July you are amazing. Ive been playing since 1979 and I've always stayed away from Steve's stuff (my favorite guitarist and reason I play guitar today) but you have inspired me, now I can play Clap, Heart of the Sunrise and I'm working on Siberian Khatru and enjoying every minute of it. I guess I was intimidated, you've gotten me past that thank you so so much!

[@JulyValls]

+David Kovak Hi David! thanks a lot really :) I try my best. What you have said is one of the best thing something could tell me, I'm very happy that I help you to get close of Steve amazing playing. Thebest to you !!

[@davekovak]

I just figured out Roundabout, and met a Drummer and Bass player who love Yes. Oh and just moved to Florida, life is good, I wish you well my new friend, if you ever come to the US you are always welcome in my house!

[@Millstreamer]

Dude. Really good. Steve Howe is no joke

[@fauredaniel57]

Qué lindo ver a un pibe joven haciendo Yes. Felicitaciones July

[@JulyValls]

Graciass 😁

[@johnwhittaker346]

Wow flawless intro. Literally nailed it.

[@JulyValls]

@@johnwhittaker346 thanks a lot :)

[@aritoran]

Llevo 6 años o más admirando a July. No me canso de admirar tu interpretación de la guitarra de Siberian Khatru. La disfruto regularmente y seguiré... Lo siguiente a corto plazo en mi vida, visitar alguna vez Buenos Aires, Argentina. Es mi sueño.

[@aritoran]

No me canso de oírte. Cada vez disfruto más. Impecable tu interpretación

[@DrumGalaxy]

BRAVO July!!! Absolutely nailed it!!!!! -Tom

[@JulyValls]

Thanks Tom! I'm glad that you like it : D

[@ph6376]

Damn dude! I don't think I ever appreciated how tough this song would be to play for those of us who are not Steve Howe :-) Well done!!

[@albertcanadasigarrido3620]

Great job, and better taste. Thank you for sharing!

[@JulyValls]

Thanks to you :)

[@brianalpert2383]

[@sharadeva]

Also what a great tone.

[@JulyValls]

Thanks a lot! I love Yes if you look at my chanel you will se lot of collaborations :)

[@Yarsh52]

You definitely cover the subtle nuances of Steve Howe's guitar playing quite well. If I was not a looking at a video, I would swear it was the man himself playing. Excellent job!

[@JulyValls]

thanks a lot DrJonAngus :) very very happy that you like it : D

[@JohnBogansky]

Wow, so many hidden harmonies and musical ideas. Thanks for this!

[@JulyValls]

[@RATAO157]

This cover is very good, for me it's in the top 2 best covers, first is the cover of "Red" from "King Crimson" done by "pat mastelotto & victor sågfors" hahaha

[@jamesjones-rp6cl]

Saw Yes in the round. !!! PERFECT COVER. !!!

[@JulyValls]

[@MTheoOA]

Very nice, looks a hard song to play.

[@JulyValls]

Yet another amazing cover by Mr. July!

[@JulyValls]

Hi thanks a lot my friend, the best to you :)

[@boycewebb7445]

Your tone is outstanding on this recording. If I had your chops I'd want to do a cover of "The Nature of the Sea". Spot on as usual.

[@JulyValls]

Boyceeeeeeeeee :) Thanks very very much :) happy that you like it, thanks too wach most of my videos : D

[@naturerules3371]

I just picked my jaw up off the floor! Damn...That was INTENSE! One of the BEST guitar covers I have ever seen! Truly a MASTERPIECE!

Well done brother.Feels so good that art isn't lost♥️

[@hminkema]

I SO enjoyed your playing! This is what they call 'vicarious learning'! Hope to follow your example some day.

[@JulyValls]

THANKS A LOT :)

[@harescuts9300]

Excellent job by the way. You remind me of myself back in the 70's. I learned a lot of Yes. Close to the edge side 2, one of my favorites. Too bad I sold my pedal steal guitar. Nice.

[@barrettarq]

Very accurate and great tones you have... Sad that there is 4 thumbs down from jealous haters with no skills. Their thumbs down is their way of crying in frustration. I have played guitar for 35 years and only have played prog rock, all I can say is it brings me joy to see a person more talented than myself.... Keep playing never put it down.

[@JulyValls]

Hi Barret!! Thanks a lot! Don't worry about the 4 thumbs down, I'm really happy that you enojoy it, thats the important thing :) I will I promise! The best to you : D

[@javiermasegosa5888]

My compliments for your cover A great job. Part of an old Spanish 53-year-old admirer of the music of yes from the 13, who also plays the guitar.

[@JulyValls]

Hola Javier!! muchisimas gracias :) yo soy argentino mucho gusto , te mando un abrazo

[@javiermasegosa5888]

Un abrazo también para ti. Me costa que en Argentina hay grandes músicos de todo tipo. De hecho, está Genetics, que es una de las mejores bandas del mundo de tributo a Génesis . Siberian Kathru lo has trabajado muy bien. Tu podrías estar en una banda tributo a Yes.

[@JulyValls]

lo estoy :) y nos presentamos por capital, se llama Yesstories :)

[@javiermasegosa5888]

Que tengais mucha suerte, y espero ver vuestros montajes. Hasta pronto.

[@TheCream14]

great job!!

[@anguitenens]

Awesome!!! ;) You must be a true Steve Howe aficionado. You have the technique, the moves, the feel, the mannerisms...everything!! Excellent job!

[@JulyValls]

HAHAHAHA you make me laught! I love Steve he is amazing :)

[@anguitenens]

July Valls 😀 Yes, he is. And you're pretty amazing yourself!

The best Siberian Khatru versión IMO

[@cvidaud]

July, I've seen some of your Yes videos and your grasp of Steve Howes playing is amazing! I'm a Yes fan from waayy back (before Steve) & I must say I've never seen anyone do this. Keep playing and I'll keep watching and learning. Thank you!

[@JulyValls]

+cvidaud Thanks a lot really :) i will and very happy that you enjoyed my videosss! :)
