[REQUEST] Yes - Close to the Edge (full album)
Posted: 13 Aug 2012, 07:14
Hi all,
Down to the point, does anyone have any Yes Patches already made for any song in the Close to the Edge Album?
Long Version:
In the coming weeks I will be immersed on a project that consists on playing Close to the Edge on its full album length to commemorate its 40th anniversary. Unfortunately, its most likely we wont be able to do it on the exact day, but we will be trying our best. So I've been listening to Yes quite a lot on this last couple of years and I think I will base my playing from the Live at Montreux live album, since the Studio album is quite dull on keyboards at most parts. So I will try to immitate Wakeman's more "modern" playing and add some of my own falvor. So that is why I am asking for the patches. Also I am aware that is MY homework, but it'd be nice to have some starting points
so not to start blank. Eventually I would end up modifying things to my taste (not necesarily to sound more wakemanish), so I'd share all of my patches with you guys, although I plan on using my MOPHO (or eventually a Tetra) for some leads, specifically I have in mind the hard lead on Close to the Edge (just before the really hard organ solo).
Anyone has some useful scores available? A friend of mine has got the Yes Deluxe Edition Score Book, which supposedly has around 6 albums completely scored, but I do not know how precise it is. It would also be nice to be practicing based off on something digital for home use. I will dedicate myself to searching for good midis and pdfs but at the end those will only be the base, as I might just end up playing something different and the solos may be just an aproximation to wakeman's, depending on how the band feels about it.
Saludos,
Gustavo
