Here is the 2nd of the four Yes/Chris Squire tunes I covered, 'Heart Of The Sunrise.'



Sorry about axing the "Love comes to you, you follow, etc..." line, but there was no bass there. You can see the bind I was in!

Most Excellent, Mark. That's one tune I had already worked out, thanks much to Miguel's examples, but you put some interesting touches on a few parts (I may borrow ). All very musical and that 68 sounds great!

Yeah, you're definitely better off following Miguel's example for accuracy. While I tried to nail some parts, I still took the liberty to stray from the path in a couple of places.

YES!

nice job Mark... love the feel and the tone!!!

Awesome, Mark! One of my favorites!

The '68 sounds great!

Very Nice! It made the hairs on my arms stand up!

If the general masses sees this, the backlog for Ric basses will increase a ten fold. It wasn't until around 1976 that I became acquainted with this song, but it has always remained one of my favorites.

Very cool, Mark. Those old basses have the sound..!! Great job man..!

Thanks guys!

Luke - maybe I can get a RIC endorsement deal just by playing old YES covers! HA HA!

Simmons - I remember us jamming on this and 'The Fish' at one of the MARFs in recent history. Wasn't the bass you were using at the time a V63 FG? That would be great to jam again with you & your '69 4001LH MG, which looks almost exactly like my '68.

I digs it, Mark!

Great job! Wonderful tone!

Nice, Mark! Now I need to go and relearn the song!

Yes! Very nice! I am most impressed and even more importantly...MOTIVATED.
Thanks for the kick!

Absolutely! No reason for me to hog all the fun!

If Geddy Lee comes across that, he kick himself for giving up on Ric and selling out to Fender.

Benedict Geddy - don't get me started...
