Steve is a world class guitarist , when people talk about the best guitarist you hardly ever hear his name but he deserves to be in the conversation for he is one of the best guitarists that ever lived .

The line up of Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson is probably the greatest band line up of any band ever.

To this day I consider their music some of the most extraordinary music ever created! Thank you Steve!

500 years from today, people will remember the guitarist Steve Howe. He is one of those musicians who will transcend time when this Era of music is over.

All I will say about Steve Howe is when he joined yes and the Yes Album was released the band was now on a different plateau, they were now a serious & legitimate top notch band. Everyone has their favorite Yes album but The Yes Album was the first album I ever bought when I was 14 and til this day its still my favorite Yes album mainly because of Starship Trooper. That song is just unbelievable & one of the best songs I ever heard. Steve Howe found his calling thank God and he never looked back. He is a master guitar player and one of the all time greats in his profession. He deserves a lot of credit for helping Yes get to the top !

One of the most underrated guitarist ever. His playing on Yessongs is untouchable

I love how both Yes and Rush recognized the concept that the credit for songs can belong to the entire group, that the contributions of each member is what made the songs as great as they were.

I saw Yes on the Topographic Oceans tour in 1973 when they were at the height of their powers. Steve Howe was completely off the scale. I have seen many of the legends of classic rock at their peaks, but I don't think I've ever seen a guitarist play as brilliantly as Steve Howe did that night. You should have been there!

Steve Howe is so humble in this interview. If you ask me, Steve single-handedly drove a majority of songs YES produced. Steve's mastery of the guitar is rather impressive. The whole band seemingly was in a one upsmanship contest with each other on every song they played and they all shined.

Steve's mind is as sharp as ever at age 76. Most rock stars his age couldn't recall half of the details he pulled out of the air.

The man is a damned legend. No one else in music history like him.

I saw Jon Anderson in concert a few weeks ago his voice is still fantastic.👍👍✌️✌️

Steve Howe is such a gifted guitarist and consummate musician. Thank you for all the amazing music. I hope more to come. I think his brand of music elevates the human spirit also.

Steve is one of the greatest guitar players ever!!!

I've seen Yes in concert some dozen times, most recently almost exactly one year ago in Torrington, Conn., when Yes were marking the 50th anniversary of "Close to the Edge". Mr. Howe has been the one constant in all of those different shows. Yes are a band which has always featured top-notch talent no matter the lineup, and even well into his 70s, Mr. Howe is still brilliant. He's a consummate artist whose contributions to music can't be overstated. (He also holds the distinction of being the only non-Queen member to play guitar on a studio recording of a Queen song: "Innuendo".)

My favorite all time guitar player. And, I've been playing for over 50 years!

Steve Howe is a gift to the music world! Brilliant guitar player

Man, I can't even imagine how cool auditioning for a band of Yes' caliber would be. Great story.

Brilliant guitarist that I saw 31 times with Yes.
