More about this title

About the Artist: Steve Howe

Steve Howe is a virtuoso guitarist and founding member of the progressive rock band Yes, where he has defined the sonic landscape of art rock since 1970. His technical mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar, combined with his compositional sophistication, has made him one of rock music's most influential instrumentalists and a touchstone for generations of guitar students seeking to expand their harmonic and textural vocabulary.

Why we love this

This piece captures Howe's signature blend of rock energy and technical fluency in a format that rewards close study. TAB notation makes the specific fingerings and string choices transparent, so students can see exactly how a master guitarist voices chords and navigates the fretboard.

What to expect

Sound Chaser pulses with rock urgency while maintaining a sense of forward motion and harmonic intrigue. The playing is direct and energetic without sacrificing the thoughtfulness that defines Howe's approach to the instrument.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to expand their rock vocabulary beyond standard chord progressions. This is ideal for students comfortable with power chords and barre chords who are ready to explore more sophisticated voicings and rhythmic complexity.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the TAB's fret positions rather than assuming open chord voicings; Howe's choices often favor unexpected string crossings and register shifts that create movement and color.
  • Balance articulation between cleanly separated notes in faster passages and letting chords ring through for harmonic resonance where indicated.
  • Use the recorded reference (if available) to lock in the rhythmic pocket; the groove is tighter than it may appear on the page.

How to use it

Program this in a guitar recital or ensemble concert to showcase a student's technical range and rock credibility. It also works well as a teaching piece when you want to bridge classical technique with contemporary pop-rock repertoire.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading guitar TAB and translating it to fretboard navigation
  • Voicing chords across multiple strings with attention to register and timbre
  • Executing rhythmic figures that combine picked and fretted techniques
  • Balancing precision and feel in a rock context
