Chris Squire covers

[Rogue Valley]

I discovered this gentleman on YouTube who primarily does Chris Squire/Yes bass guitar covers. David sports some nice gear ... Rickenbacker and Lakland here. Chris Squire 1948-2015 was the bassist for Yes for 47 years and was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017. His bass lines are melodic, elaborate, and difficult to faithfully reproduce. Mr. Keep covers Chris very well. Due to the cam angle, I'm not quite sure if he is accomplishing this by memory or reading tabs or both. Nevertheless, he is quite good.

Not only was Squire one of the greatest bassists of all time, he was also one of the greatest backing vocalists of all time.

We lost that old guy too soon.

And Steve Howe & Jon Anerson weren't exactly lightweights, either!
