Thx for the kind words.Georgestrings, I wouldn't want to tackle ANY of Howe's parts! Yikes!! Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rikb@ss Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Wow. Awesome job on the cover. The bass tone was really good and the vocals were _much_ better than what I expected. I was watching and thinking "sounds great. It'll fall on it's face when they get to the vocals." Needless to say I was completely wrong very pleasantly surprised. I'd love to see the whole video if you got it somewhere else. Personally I love jamming to that song. Never found a band that could/would handle it. It's interesting that you played the beginning in the first position on the bass. I always play it up in the second position. For some reason it seemed easier/more comfortable that way. Regardless, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ModmanQ6 Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Great job Matt! You are lucky. I've been trying for 30 years to get other players to cover Yes tunes with me to no avail... I jammed once with a guitarist and drummer who played a couple of tunes with me, but only once and no keys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did 4 Yes tunes (helps when you have an awesome female keyboard player that sings well too!). We also did a medley consisting of Beginning of Roundabout, Starship Trooper, Long Distance Runaround, and the end of Roundabout. We also did a lot of Rush and Zeppelin. Needless to say I put a LOT of hours in on the bass during those days! Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 I love playing that song. Very fun. I learned some Howe licks when I played more guitar, the opening to "Siberian Khatru" for instance. Hard stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
