@@trevorrabin2834 Hey Grover Jackson gave you a shout out on David Friedman's podcast Tone Talk 2017 so I'm gonna check out all of your videos here on RUclips 🎵🎸🤩👋
I remember when all the Yes fans complained about Trevor joining Yes for 90125. They came back from seeing the new line-up in concert with their jaws still dropped from Trevor's performance.
And the effects units he demoes here are mind-blowingly high-tech. Way, way advanced beyond anything anyone else is using these days. I wonder if any of them will ever become available to other musicians....
Trevor had a large vocab on the guitar & he could really shred. However, he played without ego. He let the song dictate his parts. That's prob why he's not mentioned more often among guitarist because he valued taste over showing off. And considering the 80's was all about who could play faster, that says a lot for his humility & artistic integraty. Rock On!
Well said, I also got the same impression of Steve Steven's. I thought he was a bit if a wanker, style-wise, but digging into his interviews & playing, he knew how to play the song first, as Rabin did as well. Both fantastic talents.
Jesus, I feel like I gained 20 IQ points, just by listening to Trevor Rabin talk. I dont even play guitar, and I really enjoyed this . What a great musician
@@johannjensson6190 I started with the early Yes line up, and it was great for it's time and then Trevor Rabin, just bringing great energy AND songwriting skills that would shut all of the early Yes purist down. And to be honest, in the 80s all of the progressive groups went pop, Karate kid soundtrack type music including Steve Howe, Steve hacckett and all. TO me the best composer was always Trevor Rabin. I mean listen to Endless Dreams from the Underrated Talk album. It rivals Close to the Edge. Yes the group is incidently what got me off of progressive music, because that crow can be sooooo musically conservative, just like the metal crowd. Trevor got me interest in sound engineering, songwriting with this very video.
Trevor is a master musician!! I've loved his style of playing since I first heard him back in '83. Now many years later I can hear a bit of Eric Johnson and Al Di Meola in his playing but overall his own style is just incredible. He has it all....the voice, plays many instruments, writes/composes and performs.....just unreal what he's done in his career. I wish him the best and hope to hear more from him....time is ticking a bit. Also....I wish there was a way to get some company to re-release the Yes - Talk album. So difficult to find.
I absolutely love Trevor Rabin. As a part of YES when their brilliant album 90125 was released back in 1983 his immense talent can't be denied. He went on from there to become one of the very best movie score composers in my humble opinion doing films like Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nicolas Cage. Fantastic artist and truly great guitar player. 👍
The best part of this (for those of us old enough to have to have dealt with this) is how literally over 1,000 pounds of gear now ranges from 20 to 40 pounds of gear and is FAR more versatile. The only bulk now are your cabinets but even those are still less cumbersome than just a single guitarists effects rack system from back in the day.
That acoustic/electric sound he does at 8:35 , is used at the beginning of Walls off of Yes's 1994 album Talk. I think he does something similar on one of the solos from Shoot High, Aim Low off of 1987's Big Generator.
80s taste in music legends were different I'm sorry to say since 90s went down all we hear screaming, yes specially changes I couldn't stop hearing so meaningful so emotional I wonder if he was the lead singer or Jon Anderson they both amazing anyway
Wow - that electric TV thingamajig that Trevor demonstrated at around 5:50 looks super high tech!! Any chance that will be available to consumers at some point??
Had this on VHS years and years ago. Trevor is a brilliant mimic. You get the sense he isn’t especially comfortable talking music theory. His playing is fast and articulate but his vocabulary is informed mainly by the world around him. The new album, Rio, for instance is pure pastiche, meticulous, self-conscious, and vain.
It is an original piece Trevor recorded in like, ten minutes, while the interviewer was on the way to Trevor's studio to record this instructional vid. I asked him what it was in a recent interview on my channel. Check it out...
He even ditched/bitched at the idea of including Pete Banks in the tour. Eventhough many yes fans doesnt seem to give that bloke his credit, since they're not listeners of his style, that doesnt take anything regarding his style, wich he sure has. He sure can hold his own on the taste department with Trevor and Steve. But nope, thanks Steve. Really sad stuff, eclipsing ppls talent and chances to delight og yes fans. Shame on the record company too.

This guy is an 80's guitar legend

Great vid. Trevor Rabin is a legend. A true musician in all aspects and dimensions.

Thanks my friend. I appreciate your comments. You are a great fan
@@trevorrabin2834 The fact that you replied to this comment. Wow. Been a fan since 1983 and your album Can't look away is jaw dropping.
He’s Jewish ✡️❤️
@@johnbarrett4846not him 😂
Big generator was an incredible album
IKR? I never understood people who prefer the early Yes years. The Trevor Rabin lineup is the real Yes, IMHO.
And still is an incredible album!

I love the Shoot High Aim Low guitar solos. Really captures the emotion
One of my favorite guitarists ever. Mr Rabin can do it all.
Love what he brought to Yes in the 80s. Super talent in many areas. Thanks for sharing this in its entirety.
Lift me up Solo begins at 30:42 and is one of the most phenomenal solos ever recorded. I love watching Trevor play with such an economy of motion.

I saw Rabbitt live as a teen. Only started playing guitar in my thirties and can now appreciate what incredible musicians they were.
I just recently found the 'Boys Will Be Boys' album after years of looking, it is very cool stuff.

Amazing hearing him explaining Pro-Tools way back in 1992… pretty much altered the future of recording and production and he was an early adapter.
Now we hold the right to rearrange how the stories can be heard

Thank you Trevor for shredding us into the Unseen Realm !!!!!!!!!
There are moments when he sounds a bit like Eric Johnson. Fantastic player...
Trevor is one of the hottest, most talented, yet humble rock guitarists to ever live. :) By the way, I'm loving the Nike hightops :).
That acoustic/electric sound he does at 8:35 , is used at the beginning of Walls off of Yes's 1994 album Talk. I think he does something similar on one of the solos from Shoot High, Aim Low off of 1987's Big Generator.
Also the THE CALLING from Yes 1994 album TALK has this amazing acoustic sound
Brilliant
Another great South African
Starting at minute 35 was his Owner of a Lonely Heart solo... good stuff
What Trevor is playing right here it has something of a Middle Eastern feel to it..Don't you guys think so to?
My goodness; he's obviously inspired by John Mclaughlin! Wow!
@ 35:35 That’s his signature sound right there!
On the 8th day God created Trevor Rabin !!!!
My guitar hero!!!
I love your music
80s taste in music legends were different I'm sorry to say since 90s went down all we hear screaming, yes specially changes I couldn't stop hearing so meaningful so emotional I wonder if he was the lead singer or Jon Anderson they both amazing anyway
Thanks so much for posting this!
Shoot High Aim Low solo here 40:00 🔥🔥🔥🔥
41:43 is pretty cool
Wow - that electric TV thingamajig that Trevor demonstrated at around 5:50 looks super high tech!! Any chance that will be available to consumers at some point??
Alvarez acoustic guitar, the brand i have, nice

Joke
Those TR Yes albums were one master composition after another. Though I don't think it took that much gear to put a man on the moon. 😉
@ 12:29 that was a badass lick!
I think Trevor was leaning towards sounding like Joe Satrinai during this album cycle.
I probably would have been a better guitar player if my ankles weren't so cold.
Skinny jeans were all the rage in the early 90s.......Just ask Metallica.
the intro song name please?
20:36
1992
Song at the beginning?
I believe it’s called Lift Me Up from Yes’ Union album.
It is an original piece Trevor recorded in like, ten minutes, while the interviewer was on the way to Trevor's studio to record this instructional vid. I asked him what it was in a recent interview on my channel. Check it out...
@ 11:40 Eruption??
I don't think so. What he did was a slide/tapping combo and in eruption it's only tapping (towards the end of the song)
Sounds more like Erection
who's the interviewer?
Wet Noodle
It looks like Tom Kolb
I thought it was wolf Marshall at first ,don’t know
Steve Howe, i suspect really didnt like him. (Union tour).
He even ditched/bitched at the idea of including Pete Banks in the tour. Eventhough many yes fans doesnt seem to give that bloke his credit, since they're not listeners of his style, that doesnt take anything regarding his style, wich he sure has. He sure can hold his own on the taste department with Trevor and Steve. But nope, thanks Steve. Really sad stuff, eclipsing ppls talent and chances to delight og yes fans. Shame on the record company too.
