First track off of "The Yes Album".
One of the most difficult parts of this song, for me, were the quick bits played on the E string. During the verses, it's the same part played over G, then A and finally A#. While it's a simple part, it's a little quick for me to play finger-style. When I'm about to play something quick, I tend to tense up and play harder, which are the two things I really don't want to be doing as both will slow me down and put me at a much greater risk of choking. I really had to focus on relaxing and not digging in too much while playing those parts.
Most of my favorite players are pickers but I've never had any success using one myself. I've had to augment certain parts to make finger-style work but I try and stay as true to the original as I can. Certain songs, like "Heart of the Sunrise" may remain completely out of my range.
No picks on basses!
I come from the future and Im telling you now: you DID GREAT with Heart of the Sunrise! Maestro
@@SQCGirl why not?
@@DannyBoi2112 not really serious, but I love watching bass players and it doesn’t look right to me when they use a pick. 😀
@@SQCGirl Chris squire, the worlds greatest bassist used one.
Was listening to yours is no disgrace today and thinking "I should learn to play that, maybe that channel I like had already posted a cover" and here I am! Your channel is awesome!
Excellent! I hope you find it helpful. Thanks.
Excellent....keep the YES covers coming!!!
ka hafa Thanks.
I think Chris Squire did more to bring the bass to the front in rock music than anyone else did. He also does it without taking over the song.
TJH3113. You are amazing. I saw YES for the first time around 1972 and 50 years later, would never have imagined that I would now be learning bass guitar at age 65!!! Watching you play gives me motivation, and inspiration to try! This is one of my all time favorite songs by YES, and even if I only learn a few bits of this, I will be so happy, and grateful to you for doing it. Love all your videos!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks so much JoAnn. Congratulations on taking up the bass and welcome to our world. I have to tell you that I've gotten many comments from people who have decided to take up the bass later in life and it is always so nice to hear. I've actually been thinking of doing a video on the topic. Try hard. Do your best. And understand that the satisfaction will come from playing through your frustration. I am not talented. I just have (when it comes to playing bass) an enormous amount of patience. Everything I do comes from practice and repetition. Play the things that challenge you, but when you find yourself becoming discouraged or overly frustrated, switch over to something you don't struggle so hard with and just enjoy it. For instance, "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" by CCR has been on my daily playlist for some time now. I could play it with my eyes (and ears) closed, but I enjoy playing it, every time I play it. As far as learning long, difficult pieces goes, yes, learn what parts you can. Make up what you can't figure out. And just string things together as they come along. Every song comes together differently, but they all start with the first note and end with the last one.
@@TJH3113 thank you so much. You are a Killer bass blayer!!!! I can only hope to do the basic stuff. You are a rock god player, for sure. Thanks so much for your encouragement!!!! I will keep trying. And I LOVE YES. And chris squire. Thank you for keeping this music alive!!!!
YES! You're amazing dude, making that Jazz sound like a Rick with a Pick!
no clue how I missed this one all these years. love it
It's about time! Thanks.
Brilliant…I am an old fart trying to learn how to play again after 40 yrs plus…can't figure out much yet, practicing scales, modes, arpeggios, but nothing like this…awesome….!
Thanks. Keep at it and play what you enjoy playing.
It’s great hear these tracks in a ‘bass-first’ format, so to speak.
Thanks, Paul
From punchy to silky smooth with "spot on" tempo and precision. Just absolutely fun to watch and a inspirational mentor by which to learn. Such style! I do believe I've ran out of adjectives. You are a very talented bassist. Another fantastic cover. Great musical taste in your choice of covers. Beautiful instruments to boot. Thanks for making the time to share!
tom & I went on a tour of your sacred room. I call it a museum. We both enjoyed it very much and appreciated your extensive knowlede of all the precious items on display. thank you Troy. You da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Marvine.
@@TJH3113 Tom is taking me to Santa Cruz for a few days. Will write when we return. Marvine :-)
I'm now learning this song, and I knew instantly who I should watch first. Thanks Troy!
This is an old one, isn't it?
@@TJH3113 Might be, but I had to learn this one and you're the only one I trust lmao, I might post a video trying to play the whole thing later this week
I agree 100% with your first statement but think he came dangerously close to taking over a song or two in his day. Not that there's anything wrong with that from time to time.
You are totally awesome. What a great rendition. This really increases my appreciation for this bass line.
Going to Yes on friday in Philly, wanted to make sure I can appreciate it in all its (morning )glory! Thank u!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it! If you ever get the chance to see Jon Anderson with The Band Geeks don't pass it up. Take care!
Nice to see you reply. I play a fretless and have followed Yes since day one. YEP. What I like is how smooth you play. No tweaked out facial moves. All that. Really clean. Singing with it gave me unbelievable respect for the late Mr. Squires' true abilities. Multi faceted simultaneous..... DAMN! It's not easy to sing in opposite of the notational flow timing. No day dreaming! Good mind set training. You play him straight up. NICE
I always try my best to respond. I'm sure some people can't help but pull porno faces when they play but it wouldn't come naturally to me. Big truth about his playing/singing talents. Thanks a lot.
I am always deeply impressed with anyone who plays squire without a pick. I find pick playing very difficult, but most YES pieces difficult to copy with fingers.
Wonderful! Extremely complex, brilliant! Your sound, your style, there is only hear you enjoy. a real treat!
Sorry Troy, this is a very old videos. The cover band I was in wanted to do this song. (I am 70 now) . Now I considered myself as a c-plus bass player, maybe a B on a good night. It took me about 4 weeks to learn this song on my vinyl record player, (way before RUclips tutorials lol. For this one song, I thought I was an A bass player. Thanks for showing me I was pretty close.
You get an A+ from me! Thanks for the great comment, Larry.
I looked and looked...DID NOT SEE the part Squire played with the coffee cup. I surmise it is coffee although it should be tea I think. So lets go with tea. Too casual...makes it perfect. You are a much cleaner player than others offering the same. Spot on my man. No need to reply.
Was I sipping away during this one? Always coffee. Thank you, but I always try to reply.
Coffee! Nice. You could at least black out or pixelate the mask of my girlfriend. Nice collection lol
i just love the sound of this black jazz of yours, and i don't know what, but there's something different about the sound of this jazz compared to the other one
I agree. I think it has to do with where the frets are...or to the point at which they are worn down to. It gives the bass a bit of "crunch" and "sizzle" that that the other one cannot get.
Who in the f**k gave this a thumbs down? This is an amazing cover! WTF is wrong with you people?
Thanks.
Dude you are sick on that Bass!!!!! Awsome Chris Squire cover!!!!
Well done on this one....we used to play it back in the 70s....took me a while to learn it and then had to transpose it down a few semitones....I think I had to count to 27 to keep me in time in the instrumental break!
Thank you. Wow, I couldn't imagine learning it in another key! Haha... I hear you.
jajajajajaa... 8:12 you nailed that mr.howe's harmonic...niceeeeyy!!!😀😀😀
I had to look at what you were talking about. Haha.
For the numbers of times i've requested it... Finally man!
Great cover, great song, great band!
I love every note of this, amazing cover!
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks Sage!
Excellent! And good advice about staying relaxed for the fast part (I’m a guitarist & tend to tense up for fast parts).
Thank you very much!
Great job, congratulations. Great bass sound. Thanks for share. Yes music is in a very complex framework.
Thanks a lot!
dont put yourself down you are fantastic!!!!!
Thanks.
Great cover! To have a more relaxed right hand, I hang the bass fairly low and I play with a very light touch. This way the wrist remains almost straight. This technique allows me to play fast for a long time without any stress at all.
Just like Dee Dee, except for the light touch! 👍👍👍
@@martymcfly8733 Sort of. 😂
Don't think my comment went through, Thanks for your playing and videos, I appreciate great Bass Players n teachers and you Troy are the Best. Cally Caine Bassist in L.A. you rock.:+)
Great job as always, hoping to hear you do Sound Chaser someday :)
Thanks a lot. I've always been a fan of maple fretboards myself and black blocks rock.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
You have quite an ear. To hear all those details is beyond what most people ever notice. As an ex- bass player I heard some things here you did that I never was aware of. Those black fret markers freak me out. I'm all into the dots, especially the double dots at the octave to keep things organized.
Thank you for the kind words. I actually like the blocks, myself.
Great job especially without a pick, great playing!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Steph.
Thanks Jim.
Thank you.
Completely accurate and well-played. Love this whole album. Hope you are doing well health-wise these days. Take care man.
Thanks a lot. Most of my favorite players have been pick users. I think that might have had something to do with my trying to develop a crisp, articulate style of playing. It has its downside. At times it can come across as a bit "stiff".
as a Rush & Yes fan I must say: great job (as usually). congrats.
Gracias.
I'm using a SansAmp Bass Driver pedal on this. It gives it a little sparkle and grit.
6:57 best part
wow , i thought this song was hard to play, now i have no doubt in my mind lolo !!! great job !!
haha. Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Will you do Heart of the Sunrise? And You And I? You're awesome man!
Jason Campus "Heart..." might be impossible to do finger-stlye and I'm not very familiar with the other one. I'll check it out. Thanks.
No problem man, hey, I wish we could be Facebook or email friends, I have a band with all original music you might like, or I hope you might like!! My email is jcampus2095@gmail.com, I would love to send you some songs to listen too!
TJH3113 most of heart of the sunrise is "do-able" finger style.....there was tab for it in a bp rag around '07 ......it's around 12 pages long so converting is a tad time consuming if you only read dots......i have it .....if you want a copy i can snail mail it,but you may want to figure out an alternative,more secure way to address it......
Odd for someone so good as Yes baselines to not be familiar with the Close to the Edge album, as it is their most well respected album afterall
@@TJH3113 I promise you it's not impossible. I used to do it back when I was a teenager as practice for orchestra class. Its hard but not difficult.
Love this song! Wish you would get more attention I love your stuff and just got into yes as a long time rush fan. Keep up the good work!
That's great to hear. I am fine with the amount of attention I get. It allows me to still respond to each comment personally.
Thanks a lot, I will try.
Take care.
Excellent job Troy.
Wow. Surprised you've never heard this before.
Thanks, I had to write something.
The best to you and yours as well.
Love the eyebrow raise!!!
Just making sure people are playing attention.
I really like this cover, because your bass sounds more like the original copy of TYA I used to have. Somewhere along the way it seems like the bass was turned down in a remaster because it doesn’t stand out quite as much. It’s even more noticeable on Starship Trooper. Anyway, great job!
I don't know what TYA is. Thanks a lot.
The Yes Album :)
I haven't watched any of your vids for a while. I used to watch your Rush covers when I was first learning bass. I've been teaching myself for 7 years or so. I'm 53 now. I Started late. We've talked before. You said your first Rush show was right before mine got cancelled at Cape Cod Coliseum? Anyway I've been learning this Yes tune this week. Came cross your cover. Immediately, I thought cool, This guys got it. Your musical taste seems similar to mine anyways. I notice a certain Geddy style in your playing here. Granted your playing it without the pick. I never have learned to use a pick in my playing, which I probably should have by now. Sounds cool the way you throw in the Geddy style triplets with your fingers. That's kind of how I've developed too. I love your talent on the bass. Your VERY good. .
It's never too late. I've long used triplets to create the illusion of speed. They are a handy tool to have in your arsenal. Thank you so much for the kind words, I really do appreciate them.
Thank you kindly.
My favorite part is when you drink coffee during the rest!! Nice job.
I think that was my favorite part too. Thanks.
Awesome playing🤘👍
Thanks ✌️
Thank you so much for the very kind words.
Nice work, Troy! I need a nap after that...that's a lot of notes to remember!!
I got to tell you you make it look very easy. Great job. Great Song.
Cheers.
1st time I've heard this one. Great song. I love your description also, it's helpful to know the process by which you arrive at the final cut. Best to you and the fam!
recently got roku and i am a big yes fan stumbled on to your bass cover series. totally impressed i cant wait to listen to the other yessongs you should be in a yes tribute band or maybe with the passing of squire be in yes itself. i really appreciate your talent.
Thanks a lot. The YES covers have been some of the most challenging that I've done since I play finger-style and Chris was a pick-master. I'm not sure if I'd be up to the task of playing a full set of their songs. Thanks for the kind words.
in the 70s i was in a band that played roundabout,yours is no disgrace,your move and all good people. our bass player went from finger-style to pick-master because he admired chris so much. watching you kind of made me realize that he really did not have to change and just how intricate the bass parts in yes are. i was the lead singer and i realize after watching you just how much work was involved for him to play those parts. i also discovered yesterday that your catalog of bass covers is much bigger than just yessongs i listened to teacher,dont stop believing,do you believe in love and i plan in time to listen to all your covers. yesterday was my birthday and in someway your efforts, talent and hard work was my favorite birthday present.
Happy Birthday! And thanks again for the kind words.
awesome cover. its a shame that Squire is losing his influence on most modern bassists. He has so much to offer
Thanks for the reply. Actually Mr. Squire does own a Fender Jazz bass and brings it on the road with him. He recorded the song "Going For The One" using his Jazz bass instead of his Ric and sometimes uses it onstage for this song. b.t.w., would love to see you cover Yes' "Silent Wings Of Freedom" with your Ric.
Haha,Troy..........JUST WONDERIN...............(JUST a suggestion (wink-wink).........Would LOVE to see You do a rendition of the Jethro-Tull tune "Teacher"!!! I think that'd be a rather "unique" challenge for You on the bass!!! All the Best My-Friend!!!
Thanks for the compliment but there are plenty of people with tone and technique better that mine out there.
Feeling good. My one year post-treatment anniversary was in October and I got the all clear. The first year is an important one.
That was totally Rocking!
I love your vids! Theatrical masks not withstanding, your playing is so in the groove! Keep them coming!
OK.....I dig the masks!
That was quite awesome!!! Not a single mistake that I could hear.
Thank you very much.
WOW!!! AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING JOB My Friend!!! Absolutely LOVED watching this one!!! (and THANK-YOU for adding a bit of personalization to it at 1:35,takin a nice sip of java to help PUSH YOU through all those "quick-bit" parts!!! LOL.) Till next time........
Great Job Troy!
Well done and without a pick
Thanks!
Wowwwww fantastic... I love thos song. Man please start a band and come to play in Brazil. You are so good. Thx!!!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks.
I think you're right.
I've never been able to get around the bas using a pick even though most of my favorite players use one.
Lots of "stuff" to memorize on that one. NIce job Dr. Smoothe! Doesn't get any better than that.......unless your Squire himself!!
Chris Squire appealed to me as a keyboard player. I could never figure out why. With other bassists, I was like "meh". I'm STILL like "meh".
Listen to Jon Camp in Renaissance. Top, top bassist and virtually unknown and untalked of in the bass-playing world. Criminal
@@youandwhosearmy6339 Now look at that, one of the rare fans of Renaissance. Guess we're 3 now, counting me and my father
Yeah, and a few more but nowhere near what they deserve. Great band were Renaissance. @@marcelosena8955
Marvellous!
Bravo! Marvellous!
Thank you very much.
Man, great job on this. Seen a bunch of your vids. Great, great stuff. Love the bass you're using here. Black/black+maple board= my favorite look.
Brilliant as usual!
Thanks.
I think Soundchaser is a little out of the finger-style realm but I'll check on it.
I love the Yes covers! Squire, and yourself, rock so much! Heart of the Sunrise would be a good one hahah Cheers :)
Great job dude!
Thank you!
Great job!! I never saw a bass player play that song without a pick! Now I know it can be done and still sound great!! How long did it take you to learn and memorize the piece? Looks very challenging. I’m thinking about giving it a go
Thanks a lot! I always say, if I could play with a pick, I would play with a pick, but I can’t, so I need to find a way around it. This video is pretty old, so I don’t have a clear recollection. Learning the song is one thing, getting it to the point where I can play it straight through without making any glaring errors is another. I’m sure I had a few weeks of rehearsal into this one.
Love that song too!
Damn that was awesome. Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Your English is very beautiful. I understood every word.
Thanks a lot. I like the Ric but find it to be a very temperamental instrument, requiring constant adjustments. I also think it has a very unique sound that does not work for some applications. I find it easier to get the sound I'm looking for out of the Jazz basses and find them a little more comfortable to play as well.
Great playing. My favourite too.
+mepsley Thanks.
Excellent, and my favorite record.
Thanks.
Thanks Ron.
So far, so good.
Cool. The guitar sounds pretty wild.
God Bless you!!
And you too!
Excellent! You played it so clean! Great job.
I plan to show my kid what proper tone and technique look and sound like thru your postings. Hope you're felling better.
On a note unrelated to bass playing but related to the band, I was horrified that Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time did NOT include Steve Howe.
because Rolling Stone is a very comercial magazine
Steve Howe playing best of most of them, the man is virtuoso and can play some simple chord progressions sounds amazing, like the acoustic interlude at 6:57
Its basically D - E - G and C, some Bminor, and look how he play that!!!
