I remember the first time I heard the song, and the solo was like nothing I had ever heard before. The slow behind-the-nut string pull was a surprise, too. Trevor is great.
Nothing beats a how-to guitar video with the original player. Ultra-fine revelation of how this outrageous sound was created and the solo, done. Great idea/job!
It was Chris Squire. The new incarnation of the band originally was going to be called Cinema until Jon Anderson came onboard after hearing what they were doing.
Absolutely one of the greatest to hit a stage and one of the nicest guys of this professional level Ive ever met , Met him in the most oddest of gigs who 'd ever thought that this man would have sat and listened to 2-3 sets before introducing himself ,at the end of our night.he hung out with the band until after daybreak then we gave him a ride back to his hotel , just a nice guy with some great funny yes stories
One of the finest and seriously gifted musicians to pick up an instrument. It happened to the guitar and the rest is just music. However it can get out of him it’s going to be musical and interesting. Genius!
That guy Ramos is bad ass wow is he good and he can sing to. What a great guy!!!!! I like rick to best key board player. Ever. Bar none. Loved the bass player to Rip buddy I have listened to yes all my life I'm 68. I like John to
Awesome. If you listen to Trevor Horn talk about the album and this song in particular, it sounds to me like he throws shade at Rabin for being a "South African pop star." Well, kudos to Horn for pulling it all together, but, frankly, everybody involved in Yes should have been thanking their lucky stars for Rabin.
Glad to see the real deal without holding back. Not insecure at all and nice to see what was really going on in that riff. Thanks for showing this fine riff Trevor!
There's something about the solo that for me always expressed the kind of difficulties and frustrations one experiences in life trying to respond to the claims on you by society, and the anxieties of self-perceived inadequacies - essentially the struggle to maintain the chorus of voices in your head pulling you in all directions, before it suddenly clears up into a clean, atmospheric guitar riff that breaks through into the 'a-ha' moment of realizing your freewill.
I got to meet and talk to Trevor when he and Chris Squire came into the Gallery Night Club on St Pete Beach, FL. YES was staying at the Don Cesar Hotel as they shuffled to each of their FL concerts. Trevor was great to talk to and it was an honor to meet them both. Just so happened that our band, Diamond Alley, did Owner of a Lonely Heart in our set list. We had to do it 3 half steps lower just so someone could sing it. That made the guitar parts challenging.
@@fachin2688 The pedal is just adding a pitch a 5th above the pitch he is playing. If he plays an A, the harmonizer adds an E. If he plays a D, the harmonizer adds an A...and so on.
Alot of naysayers and shredder snobs would disagree with a boldly stated "one of the greatest guitar silos " but common sense would have to question why would one disagree? Always a damn competition. It is an amazing solo that helped a mad and truly artistic music video. Yes bashed the door wide open for a generation of early Mtv to see and witness prog rock. Always loved to watch Police,Rush,ZZtop,Yes and Motorhead videos. Owner of a lonely heart is that sort of solo fans hum and grit their teeth making faces and feeling the expression of each note played.
You know, he could have just played a conventional guitar solo on this song and it would have sounded fine. Instead, he played an extraordinary, unconventional guitar solo with a cool effect we'd rarely heard from at that time, and created an all-time classic. I love a bit of music that goes the extra distance and doesn't just settle for the same old same old. One of my favorite guitar solos of all time, completely remarkable and unforgettable.
Owner of a lonely heart, changes and love will find a way are my Yes favorites. Trevor is a great vocalist as well as a guitarist. Wish he sang more as lead with Yes.
cool and very helpful, concise breakdown of the classic solo. Great because it opens up other ideas and options as well - Trevor Rabin teaches us how to think about things, and not simply what to play.
Neat! I wondered for a long time if it was him and Tony Kaye playing a fifth apart --- but I couldn't get how they managed to bend exactly in parallel... So Eventide Strikes Again ;)
@rg2027x A-men!! This is EXACTLY how I feel! I get soo tired of today's music. It's sad really. Ever notice that most of today's songs are forgotten in like a week or so, when songs like this live on for years!
I've always been intrigued by that Fender Strat of his. Does anybody here have any knowledge of this guitar? What year is it, etc? Did Trevor do the paint job on the body as well? Thanks in advance.
I remember when I learned it I didn't have a harmonizer so I made the keyboard player play the 5th. NOTE: There is a little wah-wah riff behind the solo at the .14 second mark. That is not addressed in this video.
Trevor genio de la guitarra!! Está entre los mejores guitarrista luego de Hendrix y Edd Van Halen, y Randy, el fue un músico que llamó mi atención como guitarrista! Lo admiro y aún lo sigo escuchando. Muy buena la explicación de su propio autor!
Check out Trevor playing with Paul Rodgers. Trevor handles the lead while Neil Schon plays rhythm and if course Rodgers singing. Pretty cool stuff. A one-off super group!
"...it's a useful effect to..STOMP CLICK-CLICK ...use to achieve a unique STOMP CLICK-CLICK sound. Start with D and F# STOMP CLICK-CLICK...then it adds A and C# STOMP CLICK-CLICK..."
I don't know of trevor rabin,but i have to say i know of him now.Thanks for the tutorial on owners of a lonely heart,you through in a bonus trick with that thing you do behind the tuning keys.Hey thanks! jblack57
Actually it was more than a collaboration. He joined Chris squire et al of Yes and renamed the band cinema. When jon Anderson came to sing on the album, they renamed the band back to yes and called the first Trevor Rabin/Trevor horn/Chris squire album, cinema. They kept the name yes for the following 3 Trevor Rabin/yes albums after which he was non-plused and left the group to write movie scores. YES,he was a breath of fresh air for Yes. A real hook-master.
Sorry if I sound stupid but what song should my guitar be tuned to to play this solo? I mean I think he said it or was he referring to what tuning the harmonizer puts it in?
This solo is pure genius. So is Trevor Rabin.
The solo that sold a billion harmonizers.
@@XenoghostTV I remember when I bought the boss pitch shifter, this was one of the songs I played on it. lol
Hahahahahaha you sre right.
Greeting from Perú!
That is so true. After this solo Edward D. Harmonizer became the richest man in the world. Thank god we stopped him before it was too late.
❤
Also spawned a billion unknown musicians out in the wild too. I’m guilty as charged
I remember the first time I heard the song, and the solo was like nothing I had ever heard before. The slow behind-the-nut string pull was a surprise, too. Trevor is great.
Thanks for your beautiful comment I appreciate you
He makes it look so easy! 🤯💚
@@trevorrabin2834 And you are not THE REAL DEAL lol
All guitar licks in that song is pure art. I applaud to the guy.
He's amazing on the entire album. People say underrated a lot (too much) but this guy is definitely that.
Nothing beats a how-to guitar video with the original player. Ultra-fine revelation of how this outrageous sound was created and the solo, done. Great idea/job!
Whatever member of Yes thought the band should hire Trevor Rabin is a genius. Made the band popular and relevant to a whole new generation of fans.
It was Chris Squire. The new incarnation of the band originally was going to be called Cinema until Jon Anderson came onboard after hearing what they were doing.
@@SPQRTempus Chris and Alan White were the genesis of Cinema who brought on Trevor.
One of the best rock guitar solos ever!!!

one of the best solo's ever in my life
AGREED
From one of the most brilliant in-your-face solos ever right into easily my favorite clean lick of all time! So much brilliance.
One of the finest and seriously gifted musicians to pick up an instrument. It happened to the guitar and the rest is just music. However it can get out of him it’s going to be musical and interesting. Genius!
i saw this guy playing with YES long ago in sao paulo brazil....amazing....one of best shows i ever seen..... congratulations mr trevor....

This is, without hyperbole, one of the best pop songs ever made in my opinion. Everything about it is almost a magic in how perfect it is.
Total brain bender of a solo when I first heard it and decades later. Perfect for the crisp style of the production too.
Glad to see the real deal without holding back. Not insecure at all and nice to see what was really going on in that riff. Thanks for showing this fine riff Trevor!
absolutely mind-bending, awesome and creative and thats just the hair.
Well done hahahha

Bikewithlove Well said!
Didn't you have a difficult childhood?
I knew there was something eerie about this solo but could not put down what until I read your post.
Sounds like an art critic overanalising a paint splatter that is categorised as a modern masterpiece.
@@KlausSgroi So you’re saying Trevor Rabin sucks? That his playing is just a bunch of spattering? Seems to me you’re just wasting space here.
04:07 - "And then you end it with a...speedy thing" HAHAHA! xD
Such a wordsmith. :3

oh oh!, harmonizing in 5th!, one of the greatest guitar solo ever made..
what does it mean bro? I use a GT100 effect processor how can I get that tone?
@@fachin2688 Just play what he is playing.
@@fachin2688 The pedal is just adding a pitch a 5th above the pitch he is playing. If he plays an A, the harmonizer adds an E. If he plays a D, the harmonizer adds an A...and so on.
Great solo... made a good song even better
In the guitar solo on the record there's actually two harmonisers; there's the original source, and there's a 5th above, and an octave above.
Alot of naysayers and shredder snobs would disagree with a boldly stated "one of the greatest guitar silos " but common sense would have to question why would one disagree? Always a damn competition.

Tom! I listened to this tune every day when I was driving around SF back in the day One of my favorite tunes and sol!

❤❤❤❤This man is a musical genius! I’ve said that since the 80’s! Love him!!!!!!!
This guy seems to know his stuff. With his understanding of harmony he should write film music.
;o))))))
***** Yes I think you are correct, sadly being a great composer cannot make up for a crap film.
This guy? Trevor Rabin of Yes?
He has. For over fifty films en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Rabin#1996.E2.80.93present:_Film_scores
What??? His main career was composing soundtracks for Hollywood...
Owner of a lonely heart, changes and love will find a way are my Yes favorites. Trevor is a great vocalist as well as a guitarist. Wish he sang more as lead with Yes.
this solo ... too magnificent , unique
One of the best musicians of all time doing what he's know, just excellent music.
Fantastic solo.
The guitar sounds was also heavily compressed through an Urei compressor unit.
cool and very helpful, concise breakdown of the classic solo. Great because it opens up other ideas and options as well - Trevor Rabin teaches us how to think about things, and not simply what to play.
Trevor Rabin! A technical Guitar Master!!!
Everything Trevor put into that solo sonically, the interviewer appeared to have achieved with his hair
😂😅
Tell me why the hell are Fender NOT making a Trevor Rabin signature guitar like this famous one... ???
I saw online where someone built a replica of this guitar, it looked great!
Trevor Rabin's talent is endless
can that be done using BOSS PS-6 HARMONIZER ?
pure genius
AGREED
@pietro1kk Trevor Rabin used the MXR Pitch Transposer 129, try do a search on Google.
How do we play the chords arpeggio after wards ?
Neat! I wondered for a long time if it was him and Tony Kaye playing a fifth apart --- but I couldn't get how they managed to bend exactly in parallel... So Eventide Strikes Again ;)
I always assumed the solo was double or even triple tracked.
Great guitarist/musician/composer.
I had a Dream Years ago I was the Drummer for YES. We were rehearsing in a Trailer. It was Totally Awesome! It was like a Dream come True!
This kind of stuff is why I love RUclips. I started playing guitar around this time and would think, "How does his guitar sound like THAT??!"
This song is almost universally loved by folks of all backgrounds born in the mid 1970s.
I always knew that the solo was with perfect fifths, but I thought it was with two guitarists, amazing solo
AGREED
one of the greatest guitarists on this planet
I first heard it on "The Mighty 690"-station - in 1983. (Total ear-candy!)
Ahhh the 80's. rhythm guitars dripping with chorus and solos stung by harmonizers
Wicked solo I love the harmanizer
Seriously knowledgeable musician is Trevor Rabin.
Does anybody knows if he is the same musician who composed
the music for the movie ROCKSTAR? I saw his name on the credits.
Wonder what harmonizer he's stomping
One of the elements that took Yes into the 80s.
Drama was a precursor.
90125 LP still their biggest seller
brilliant! thanks for sharing!
This solo is a masterpiece.
@rg2027x A-men!! This is EXACTLY how I feel! I get soo tired of today's music. It's sad really. Ever notice that most of today's songs are forgotten in like a week or so, when songs like this live on for years!

I've always been intrigued by that Fender Strat of his. Does anybody here have any knowledge of this guitar? What year is it, etc? Did Trevor do the paint job on the body as well? Thanks in advance.
How long ago😊
I remember when I learned it I didn't have a harmonizer so I made the keyboard player play the 5th. NOTE: There is a little wah-wah riff behind the solo at the .14 second mark. That is not addressed in this video.
this solo and" beat it " solo are unique in 80 's era!
Trevor genio de la guitarra!! Está entre los mejores guitarrista luego de Hendrix y Edd Van Halen, y Randy, el fue un músico que llamó mi atención como guitarrista!
Lo admiro y aún lo sigo escuchando. Muy buena la explicación de su propio autor!
This video looks so dated yet that solo sounds as good today as it did in 83’ when I first heard it.
effect set up please!
Trevor te vi en el 94 en Bs. As.junto a YES y me dejaste boca abierta (genio total)
Check out Trevor playing with Paul Rodgers. Trevor handles the lead while Neil Schon plays rhythm and if course Rodgers singing. Pretty cool stuff. A one-off super group!
Great teacher.
One of the solos that made me want to learn guitar
Trevor, you the man!
DId you get that?
I swear he was playing that exact same guitar at the Anderson Rabin and Wakeman concert I went to in Akron a few days ago.
looks like an older one also, wonder what year?
Master Sessions with Trevor Rabin (2000)
I think.
pschroeter1 Ya he's still using the same guitar. He's been using it since before he was even in Yes.
Damn... I Love FENDERS! They can ROAR like a Lion or Purr Like a Kitten.
One of the greatest sonic architects of all time
It's a vintage Strat, middle pickup is probably Bill Lawrence, the other 2 can't figure out
"...it's a useful effect to..STOMP CLICK-CLICK ...use to achieve a unique STOMP CLICK-CLICK sound. Start with D and F# STOMP CLICK-CLICK...then it adds A and C# STOMP CLICK-CLICK..."
😄
Impressive Knowledge!
thank you for sharing! amazing guitarist
That’s a great paint job on the guitar
what harmonizer? h3000?
This solo is epic!
Amazing!
Several cans of hairspray gave their lives for this video.
Simply Genius
Whoa. A computer. Straight out the future
Ironic that the video is the exact same length as the song.
I don't know of trevor rabin,but i have to say i know of him now.Thanks for the tutorial on owners of a lonely heart,you through in a bonus trick with that thing you do behind the tuning keys.Hey thanks! jblack57
Awesome! 🔥🔥🔥
Another great harmonizer guitar solo (though not as classic as Trevor's solo here) is on voivod's "none of the above"
¿Artista Bill Brufford? (Artist: Bill Brufford?)
A monster on the guitar !!!!
Great Guitarist & Vocalist I thought his Collaboration with Yes was like a breath of Fresh air.
AGREED
Actually it was more than a collaboration. He joined Chris squire et al of Yes and renamed the band cinema. When jon Anderson came to sing on the album, they renamed the band back to yes and called the first Trevor Rabin/Trevor horn/Chris squire album, cinema.

A real hook-master.
Joseph Miller you forgot the part where they changed the name of the album to 90125...
The only song the was number 1 was owner thanks to Trevor Horn all the rest was crap .why was he asked to leave and they brought Steve Howe back
Does anyone know what kinda guitar Trevor is using and what guitar pickups?
Sorry if I sound stupid but what song should my guitar be tuned to to play this solo? I mean I think he said it or was he referring to what tuning the harmonizer puts it in?
The method he's using Jimmy Page used in Heartbreaker. Bend behind the nut and arpeggios. He learned from Jimmy (10yrs earlier). You can tell
Esto es música 🎸 🤟🇬🇧
