It's hard for Chris Squire to not be on any greatest list.
I consider this intro phenomenal.

Heart of the Sunrise


Even the main groove was cool, fitting into what they were doing at the time was something I would never come up with.
Thanks for the live version link.

Yes happens to be one of my favorite prog rock bands, and although I have attempted to jam along with a handful of other bands I have yet to attempt a jam-along with any Yes song.

They have a complex syncopated timing ability and brain wiring far different than mine. For me, significant study time of any of their chord progressions/basslines would be required to even decide to give it a go. Maybe someday, but I doubt it . . . but they sure are fun to listen to.

I wonder if anyone here is confident (on any instrument, except tamborine) to tackle a Yes song?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
