This is something I’ve been working on since I was in high school. Steve Howe’s guitar solo from Yes’ version of Simon and Garfunkel’s America. It’s deceptively simple sounding but it’s really difficult to play. I removed the guitar from the backing track using AI so it would be all my guitar to “keep myself honest” when working it out. There are a couple of passages where the guitar got through but mostly the backing track is just Chris Squire’s bass and Bill Bruford’s drums with a bit of Rick Wakeman’s keyboards. So MOST of the guitar you’re hearing from my playing so that there’s no relying on the backing track. There are a couple of sins but this was a particularly good take. #stevehowe #yes #guitar #progrock #simonandgarfunkel
“Steve Howe” digital oil by Fred Raimondi using Procreate on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
Painted from two still frames painstakingly chosen going frame by frame from the Yessongs film.
I wanted to do it this way so it would truly be captured from an image that was not from an existing photo.
