My guitar teacher tabbed this out for me and taught me the entire song in 5 1hr lessons. It took me another 6 months to polish it. Now I see this and realize that I'm in the wrong positions in a few places, but overall right on the money. This is a masterpiece. I bust this out at campfires. People come from everywhere within earshot to hear it.

Steve can play scales well with his fingers, few other rock players can, only hardcore flamenco, classical, jazz=Joe pass etc....beat SH, But they don't play rock guitar +write songs we hear every day.@@ciliaris2

Steve Howe was a rarity in 1970 because almost all the guitarists coming out of England at the time were playing straight up blues. Instead, he was into guys like Tal Farlow, Chet Atkins, Les Paul and Wes Montgomery. Really sophisticated players. I just find it so interesting - as a lifelong Yes fan - that this little ditty could be sandwiched right between Yours is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper, without sounding the least bit out of place. Steve Howe's playing is the reason Yes sounded like no other band.

I once stood on stage with Steve Howe. He’s about 5’9” and weighs approximately 130 lbs. soaking wet. He was not an imposing figure. If he decided to act on his threat, he’d be going up against a guy who’s done lots of heavy lifting, and who was probably substantially younger.

He also (on a day off on a Japanese tour) figured out Siberian Khatru note for note. Including the entire outtro solo. He even played (on guitar) the keyboard parts where there's no guitar. In one day he figured it out. The guys a genius.

This did something to me as a guitar player that no other song has done before. My drummer sent me the song one morning, I thought it sounded pretty cool and decided to try and learn it. Spent about an hour figuring out the first riff and getting it up to speed, almost got it down but got frustrated and decided to take a break. After a few minutes, decided to pick up the guitar again. The feeling I had when I got the riff to sound right for the first time was something I've never, as a guitarist, felt before. I was suddenly filled with undescribable joy and realised I was tearing up, all the while looping the riff over and over. Amazing feeling, cannot really put it into words.

That's because his pinky is the length of your index finger.

His ring finger is longer than his middle finger. It's no exaggeration to say that most people 'couldn't' play this. Because we couldn't. His hands are ludicrous.

Such a bloody cool song. I love the fact that you'd think this nice-sounding song is named after an STD then you realise he wrote it after watching his first born son clap his hands. Humorous contrast :p

Kevin James; Just play it for your own pleasure. Whether or not you perfect it, it'll still enhance your natural abilities as a player. Besides, this is Steve Howe we're referencing, I often think he's not human.

Kevin James man don't look at it that way... I've been playing for over 50 years and I'm only now taking the time to figure this tune out... I had a friend back in the 70's who could literally play anything... and it sounded just like the recording. A true prodigy but the rest of us rely on our own interpretation... if you want it bad enough and stay after it you'll play it and people will be amazed!

+Watremez Guillaume Don't feel bad. After playing it for 30 years there are a couple of parts that are still very difficult for me and that I can't nail 100%. It's annoying I guess, but I can play most of it very well, except for maybe 10 seconds!!!! I'm just happy I can play guitar at all and can make some sounds that I dig and people occasionally like. When I taught at a music store I always told my students that the most important thing is to have FUN!!! If it ain't fun, do something else. As for Howe, he will always be my main guitar guru. He can't do some of the more modern Eddie Van Halen/Yngwie/Vai tricks, but he's just so completely different and unique, more so than any other guitarist I've ever heard (while still being accessible and not getting into atonal madness).

In 1978, I listened to these musics with real pleasure, and at the same time a kind of despair we tell ourselves, at that time, that we will never know, or we will see how to play these magnificent musics, The clap, your moove ... Etc ... And one day, we discover the internet, youtub ... Etc ... And our despair of 1978 turns into joy, to have, in a few "clicks", everything you thought about playing, to see, at will, the way and the way to be able play yourself, and all of a sudden, with exercise, discover that you can become Steve Howe, Hendrix, Gary Moore, Gilmoor… etc… Magnificent… THANK YOU Mr. Howe,
