Starship Trooper First Guitar Part
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июн 2012
- This is just the first part to Steve Howe's Starship Trooper - one of the best guitar songs IMHO. Lots of cool techniques and sounds. Hybrid picking, use of open notes, drones, difficult pinky work - all great stuff. Enjoy!

You're welcome. Let me know if you want more "YES".
Nice tutorial . Helped me on the intro for sure.
I'm going to give this a go the next week or two. This is a good lesson. Thank you.
Your tutorial is the only one that got me up and going on this, very nicely done and explained MZ and Thanks!
+superfuzzymomma Thank you!!
You haven't lost it my man! Consider myself lucky to have played along side you. Crossover rocks
Hey man. It will happen ... soon ... gotta get some time in for fishing too! Seriously, thanks for commenting.
Thanks!
Sure. I can do that! I'll post it soon. Thanks for asking!!
You're welcome. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks Jeff! Fishing took its toll on my fingers this Summer, but I'm getting it back again. Maybe I can still do Spirit of the Radio or even YYZ soon!
BTW, the honor is all mine with you on the bass. It's one thing to have chops, which you certainly had, but another to play well with others and have fun, which we did.
Thank you for the lesson. Great explanation and demo. I subscribed :)
Thanks! Let me know what else you'd like. This is and old video. I've gotten slightly better (only slightly) at recording now! :)
oh my god your'e right. when it came together my eyes nearly teared up haha. i'm just now reaching the point that i would even have the nerve to search for a steve howe lesson. maybe i'm finally getting somewhere.
if you could continue the net part of the walk down through the start of the verse..... your teaching technique is very good. - thank you for your contribution.
Heheh, well if you're feeling bold I've got a lesson on the solo to "Seen All Good People"! Glad to help!
Thanks for this one!
I have short fingers so I really can't play it the way Mr Howe and you do, but from this one I improvised and found a different way that is much easier for me to play it, without having it sound like shit ;)
Glad to help. I should really update this and add parts, because the recording is so low quality. Thanks for the nice note!
Well, I think it's good enough :)
Thanks for sharing!
after 3 yrs....is there more s-trooper?....or am i just not finding it....i like your lessons....after 10 spinal surgeries i cant sit long enough to work out songs from start to finish...at least not yes songs...you give me a nice starting point and then i watch how Steve plays the part...i know he rarely plays thing exactly same twice....but there are parts that he plays a certain way for a reason..eg. in your ld runaround lesson, the arpeggio run ascending, steve spreads across the 1st 3 strings as opposed to 2...sort of like triads which frankly was easier for me to play to speed but it leaves you that "jump" to the head of the line, where if you use the "triad" metheod it puts you exactly in position to start...so thank you very much for the time it took / takes you to produce / upload these lessons....so how about the rest of trooper?. anything from Tales..ummm clap?, anything yes, steely dan, steve morse, jean luc ponty, al dimeola...thanks again!!!
+Rick Thaler Hi Rick. I have many Steely Dan videos. (Don't Take Me Alive, Kid Charlemagne, Rikki, Bad Sneakers, My Rival) Feel free to check them out. I never got around to doing more Stormtrooper, though I really like the riff and solo at the end. Just never did the video. Haven't done any Morse/Dregs, but I may do some soon. Not really a DiMeola fan. Do you have a specific suggestion for me to try?
Yes is a tough. Steve Howe is a great and odd player who improvises a great deal. Yet, as you say, Yes songs were often intricately worked out even if his solos were semi-improvised. But Yes is tough also because people have strong opinions on what should be played or what "the right way" to play a certain line is. I don't have that approach to guitar at all. A player very well may have a reason that he played in a certain position, used a certain fingering or so forth. But if I solve the problem in a different way, I'm not going to fret over whether it's "right" or not. Guitar is about solving problems to make music. I present my solutions. I'm also a teacher and I think about what might be easier for someone learning. But people have different strengths a weaknesses, so what I present as "the easier way" may be actually more difficult for some.
Anyway, there you have it. I appreciate the listen and the comment!
+Mark Zabel totally agree w/ your approach...im just now apprcciating the "reasoning" behind why Steve plays certain parts the way he does...usually to set up the next phrase, but also at times it changes the sonic signature of a phrase...he is ...genius!!!
thanks
Very clear explanation - a rare talent by itself. Thank you for this tutorial. This one works. Now to get busy learning all this.
You're very welcome. Glad I could help!
Mark Zabel Just started viewing this. One observation: the A you played at the 5th fret is actually an A9. Howe plays it by simply sliding the three fingers of the E Major Chord so that the G# is on the 6th Fret 4th String.
Hi Tim. I'm fairly sure the A I'm playing on the 5th fret is an added-9 chord - Aadd9 - rather than an A9 which has a dominant 7th type of tonality. Is that what you meant - Aadd9?
I'll have to try what you suggest. (Unless I'm missing something is playing what I'm playing, but not playing the A note on the 6th string.)
Thanks for the listening and for the comment!
Looks like A Major and I didn't hear the 9th. You are correct about A9. But Howe plays it differently.
Yeah, I'm leaving the top 2 strings open. That Howe plays it differently is exactly what I took away from your second comment. Thanks!
