I hear you. That was from almost four years ago. My newer attempts are much smoother.

Thanks!

Such a great song!

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Amp: Roland Jazz Chorus 120, great for 80s; Effects: Digitech RP 1000, preset 46 HairDay, added compressor, distortion and delay.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! It's such a great song! I might do New Thing at some point.

@@stringtheoryboston8243 please do!!👍

Hi Dillon! So my guitar teacher taught me a different process than tabs which has drastically improved my playing. I use a program called Transcribe! to slow down the music, throw on headphones and learn everything by ear. It helps with ear training, makes me think about music theory, ingrains the song in my memory and helps to create the muscle memory to play it at faster speeds. I've added to the process by first looking for live performances by the artist to get a sense of their positioning. On my channel, I purposely keep the camera tight on the fretboard slow you can slow my videos down to help with learning the song. Hope this helps. Keep rocking!

This was a fun one

Thanks! Agreed, my favorite era of Yes.

Thanks Julie! Sounds way better when we do this song together!

Thanks! When the band lost the keyboard player, I picked up some of the keyboard lines to round out the sound. It's been fun playing with the arrangements. Have a great day!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! If you slow the video to 50% speed, you should be able to see the riff. Keeping in A major, fretting notes on the second string (E, D, E; B, C#,B; C#, D, E; B, C#, B) and throwing in the open first string E in between. Hope that helps.

Many thanks indeed 🙂

Thanks! Me too. At some point, I plan on taking on all of Operation:Mindcrime, but right now have new material to work on for the band. Have a great holiday!

Thanks!

Thanks! This one only took a couple days of disciplined practice. It also helped that I was super familiar with the song from hearing it so often. Others have taken a week or more, and some have become part of my daily exercise routine because I still can't quite get them where I want them to be before posting. It's more about the journey than the result for me, that is until the band wants to add something to rehearsal. Have a great day!

Thanks!

I haven't written out the tab for it, but I don't like to use tab anyway because, as you point out, so much of the tab out there is wrong. My process is to run songs through Transcribe!, which allows you to slow the song down and maintain the pitch, using headphones at anywhere between 30-70% of the song's speed. After I get it right, any faster or more difficult parts I practice at 50% and gradually increase the speed. I set my videos up so that hopefully one can reduce the speed and get a good sense of neck positioning. Hope that helps. Keep rocking!

Thanks Julie! Sounds even better when you're singing it!

Thanks!

Thanks! One of many reasons I'm a huge Trevor Rabin fan. Hope to add Lift Me Up and Shoot High Aim Low soon.

@@stringtheoryboston8243 yes it's an awesome band

Thanks! I like your channel name. For me, it's guitar restarts at 50.

@@stringtheoryboston8243 thanks. 😂 good luck 👍

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Thanks! You raise a totally valid point. While one of the goals of this channel is to showcase ability for a "pre-audition", I also strive for a pleasant listening experience. In an apartment at low volume, I felt the need to sacrifice some tone for sufficient gain to allow palm muting and sustain. Using way less gain at band rehearsal at higher volume, and it does sound better. Hope to have a better recording setup later this year. Appreciate the feedback!

@@stringtheoryboston8243 Well, I understand.... try to mitigate those issues.... it will be beneficial for your playing output well. Keep Rockin'... Good luck!!

Improve the tone and less sustain

LOL, I would end up with a guitar sticking out of my ceiling

Thanks! That's such a cool piece of equipment to have. Bet it still sounds awesome!

@@stringtheoryboston8243 LOL Yes it is passing it on to my 20 year old when he graduates from Audio Engineering school next year JCM 800 2004 in a Road Case

Thanks, mine too!

Thanks Tommy G!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Should be adding Empire in the next week or two. Have a great day!

Thanks, Happy New Year!

@@stringtheoryboston8243 Happy New Years to you as well my friend.

I know right! Trevor is the man! Have a great holiday.

Thank you! You too!

Thanks. Love the Ibanez Gem! Enjoy your holiday season.

Thanks!
