    After we heared that Chris Squire, the former member of Yes and one of the most creative bass players in the world died, we was really shoked. He was one of the musicians who brought me to Progressive Rock.
    His passing away was the reason for this Acoustic Cover. Onward was one of the songs, that Chris wrote for the "Tormato" Album. We think it is a really lovley track and I rearranged it for DADGAD-Guitar Tuning.
    R.I.P. dear Chris! You were one of the most important musicians of the Prog Era!
    Onward written by: Chris Squire
    Arranged by: Martin Schnella
    Produced, Mixed, Filmed by: Martin Schnella @ Overlodge Recording Studio, Germany 2015

    This is not just an excellent “cover,” this very well may be the greatest version of this song ever recorded. The triplet arpeggios on the guitar, the harmonics, drop D, & the alternate suspended note on the high vocal all sent chills down my spine. This version is very “Yes” but so “next level.” Thanks for sharing - it’s exactly what I needed to hear on the day I learned of Alan White’s passing. This is just gorgeous. 👍👏❤️

      @@MartinSchnella Yes was the soundtrack to my youth and development as a Lutheran pastor to share Love with everyone. This indeed is a stellar performance and I know Chris and Alan share the greater rhythms, arpeggios, and harmonies of Heaven. Can't wait to sing with them one day, there... but, for now you open that door! Thanks!

    YES was my personal key becoming a Prog fan and Chris Squire was the key to form YES.
    Hence I am still sad and shocked, that he had to go much too early.
    Like you and me, millions of people will always remember what he had created and presented to us.
