STEVE HOWE is internationally recognized as one of the finest guitarists of all time. From 1977 through 1981 he was voted Best Overall Guitarist in Guitar Player magazine's annual reader's poll, making him the first guitarist to enter their Gallery of the Greats for that category. While making his mark in the music world as a tasteful virtuoso with progressive rock supergroups Yesand Asia, he has also demonstrated a true creative versatility with his solo recordings and performances. He isjust as comfortable writing and performing solo classical, ragtime and country guitar as he is with his rock and jazz-rock ensemble contributions.
Every dedicated guitarist should include this book in their library. This folio captures some of Steve's most powerful and tasteful solo acoustic steel-string and nylon string pieces as well as his immortal electric guitar solo on "Sound Chaser." Steve Howe has included some notes of hisown, giving insight into his attitude and approach to his music.
As the main guitarist for progressive rock super groups Yes and Asia and as a solo artist, Steve has not only proven himself to be a versatile virtuoso but he has also distinguished himself as a tasteful and creative musician. This folio captures some of Steve's most powerful and tasteful solo acoustic steel string and nylon string guitar solos as well as his immortal electric guitar solo on "Sound Chaser." The titles are:
notes by Steve Howe
THE ANCIENT
In the midst of the controversial Tales From Topographic Oceans, this excerpt from "The Ancient" was a formidable challenge although I had prepared the piece whilst working with Johnny Harris who was to have arranged it. This piece was recorded on my Kohno concert guitar and must be played lightly with a little zest,
CLAP
After writing songs for two years, in 1969 I wrote my first instrumental, "Clap," Around this time I had been re-listening considerably to Chet Atkins and waiting for my first son to be born. Soon I joined Yes and have performed this at almost all of our concert appearances, Over time I have been playing it with a much more relaxed finger technique, which helps keep the speed up and maintain smooth control. The YesAlbum recording was made on a Revox at the Lyceum Ballroom on my Martin 0018, which I still use for concerts now, aided by a Barcus Berry pick-up,
DIARY OF A MAN WHO VANISHED
It's always nice to write tunes that have built-in sections for free-form playing, and "Diary of a Man Who Vanished" is one of these, I found that it builds towards the C minor improvised section and then eases through the repeat of the A section on to the end. On The Steve Howe Album, I played this piece on a Fender Stratocaster.
MEADOW RAG
from TheSteve Howe Album
It was with children's help that I completed "Meadow Rag" after the bent notes appealed to the little ones' imaginations, Whilst practicing it, I also imagined a sleepy clown wandering aimlessly about the countryside, Once again the Martin 0018 footed the bill,
MOOD FOR A DAY
At the time of recording Fragile, I finished "Mood For a Day," Some new interests gave this piece a rather special quality, The changing passages gave space for a little flamenco influence and cycles of simplified guitar performed on a Conde flamenco guitar.
RAM
I wanted my first solo album Beginnings to contain a ragtime guitar piece, so "Ram" was that basis for this, After recording the Dobro guitar, I added various typical street instruments,
SOUND CHASER
from the album Realer
To write a cadenza for the electric guitar with synthesizer and percussion accompaniment called for a short composition that the group could work from and inject into a song, In this exerpt from "Sound Chaser," the song goes at a high speed and the guitar has to lead off from this, Until the bass enters, the feeling is of tension and uncertainty, but from there on we devised a slightly "Hammer film" quality, This piece was played on a Fender Telecaster and recorded live with the group,
SURFACE TENSION
from The Steve Howe Album
My style of playing Spanish guitar with my fingertips runs through all the nylon-string pieces and concludes with "Surface Tension," This seems to me to be a London theme and needs a similar approach to "The Ancient"-gentle but positive, Before settling for a studio recording, this piece was recorded in a London church, but, unfortunately, the English weather didn't allow for a warm interpretation, My Kohno guitar eventually let me play it without squeaks.
