Steve, like all the truly great solo guitarists, makes it look effortless and sound like two instruments are being played. Wonderful. Please God in the next life bless me with this gift.

Agreed! I spent most of my teen years trying to learn this by ear now im in my 50s LOL-almost there! Ive arranged a version for classical six-string which sounds almost as good. This has always been my favorite piece by him, (not sure why its not more popular, clearly a nod to the famous Saltarello early Renaissance piece for (lute?)-yet literally NO ONE, has put it to sheet music! Unbelievable

Steve Howe is an amazing guitarist. Even today he's able to do those complicated sequences he did with Yes. I'm sure Jon Anderson and Chris Squire were happy when they got him to join the band back in 69. This song is very entertaining and his other solos, including the ones on the Live in Montreux DVD are some of the best guitar play you'll ever hear. The other posts talk about guitar types and strings, but for us Yes fans, the guitar doesn't matter. Steve Howe's music is fun and entertaining.

For anyone who may not know what is taking place in this video Steve is playing both parts(rythm and lead at the same time. Just watch his right hand and if you can play guitar just try to do the opening alone and you soon see what I mean. Keep in mind he is not alternating back and fourth from low e string to high e string, his thumb and index finger are holding the pick creating the 1.2.3.4.and the rest of his fingers are creating the lead.

To whoever suggested that "There isn't much to this," keep in mind that a lot of Steve Howe's work looks easier than it is. You get the true appreciation for its difficulty when you actually try to play it - especially in front of a live audience! I think his picking hand work is what is particularly amazing, much more so than the fret hand. He has big-time hand strength.

@flickded I attempted to play guitar pretty late in life and was never very good. Got converted to play bass and loved it (even though I am not all that good). After being around people like Jay Roberts (Howard Roberts son) and seeing many jazz legends, I can really appreciate the skill they have. My limited music lessons by very talented musicians has taught me some music theory. Once you understand what it takes to play Melodic or Harmonic scales, you cannot help but be impressed....

To keep flat picking the bass notes as you are finger picking the melody notes is not an easy thing to synchronize...believe me, it took me quite a while ! This is from the rare "Making Of GTR" video. While the triads look easy, in the midst of all that you have lightning fast descending and ascending runs to do without breaking rhythm... It's not that easy ! Love this a lot !
