Roundabout!!!

Mike, you have made my day!!

To be truthful, perhaps out of my league this song but I will work at it!

My best band ever and an amazing song and album!!

Thank you!!!!

Just learnt "Wurm" taught by the man himself on Youtube!!

My pleasure!!!

Mike

I know better than to take any credit for Mike mastering this classic but I do find it interesting that I've made two specific song request studies to GT............both heavily acoustic based: 1. From the Beginning ELO & 2. Roundabout by Yes.............and our fav GT instructor has more than done us all justice by teaching both of these classics!! Perhaps the two greatest intros ever on both songs.......and this tune cracks me up as I'm always trying to get my disinterested wife to desire to play rock classic trivia "Can you name this band that played this song??? You have a 50/50 shot at the correct answer!!"

At any rate.......great job once again, Mike.......and perhaps GT did listen to me.........I put in requsts for those two songs plus your great Pete Townsend study so GT does listen and act on great suggestions and places one of their aces onto the case!!

Hey stratman, isnt it amazing that both songs have the "same" intros with the harmonics!!!!

Also two of my favourites and both rather challanging particularly Roundabout!

An amazing lesson Mike and just confirms what a great guitarist you are. I have tried to play some of Steve Howe's songs before and simply cant play his chords!!!

Absolutely! Plus.............this is dating things for certain.......the first use of feedback or whatever you wish to call this effect done years before Jimi: The Beatles with the beginning of their early 60s classic" I Feel Fine"!!! Jim C.

Mike the chord progression on the Chorus is a nice work out. I am familiar with the c shape major chord so no issue. This song and Crossroads are the two of the songs I an using for chop building. I am implementing that chord thing in my originals.

Right on!! Indeed, it is quite the workout, and awesome training for your fingers. Glad to hear you are using the approach in your own music!

Cheers!
