I remember the first time I heard the song, and the solo was like nothing I had ever heard before. The slow behind-the-nut string pull was a surprise, too. Trevor is great.
Nothing beats a how-to guitar video with the original player. Ultra-fine revelation of how this outrageous sound was created and the solo, done. Great idea/job!
You know, he could have just played a conventional guitar solo on this song and it would have sounded fine. Instead, he played an extraordinary, unconventional guitar solo with a cool effect we'd rarely heard from at that time, and created an all-time classic. I love a bit of music that goes the extra distance and doesn't just settle for the same old same old. One of my favorite guitar solos of all time, completely remarkable and unforgettable.
Absolutely one of the greatest to hit a stage and one of the nicest guys of this professional level Ive ever met , Met him in the most oddest of gigs who 'd ever thought that this man would have sat and listened to 2-3 sets before introducing himself ,at the end of our night.he hung out with the band until after daybreak then we gave him a ride back to his hotel , just a nice guy with some great funny yes stories
It was Chris Squire. The new incarnation of the band originally was going to be called Cinema until Jon Anderson came onboard after hearing what they were doing.
One of the finest and seriously gifted musicians to pick up an instrument. It happened to the guitar and the rest is just music. However it can get out of him it’s going to be musical and interesting. Genius!
There's something about the solo that for me always expressed the kind of difficulties and frustrations one experiences in life trying to respond to the claims on you by society, and the anxieties of self-perceived inadequacies - essentially the struggle to maintain the chorus of voices in your head pulling you in all directions, before it suddenly clears up into a clean, atmospheric guitar riff that breaks through into the 'a-ha' moment of realizing your freewill.
Glad to see the real deal without holding back. Not insecure at all and nice to see what was really going on in that riff. Thanks for showing this fine riff Trevor!
Alot of naysayers and shredder snobs would disagree with a boldly stated "one of the greatest guitar silos " but common sense would have to question why would one disagree? Always a damn competition. It is an amazing solo that helped a mad and truly artistic music video. Yes bashed the door wide open for a generation of early Mtv to see and witness prog rock. Always loved to watch Police,Rush,ZZtop,Yes and Motorhead videos. Owner of a lonely heart is that sort of solo fans hum and grit their teeth making faces and feeling the expression of each note played.
Awesome. If you listen to Trevor Horn talk about the album and this song in particular, it sounds to me like he throws shade at Rabin for being a "South African pop star." Well, kudos to Horn for pulling it all together, but, frankly, everybody involved in Yes should have been thanking their lucky stars for Rabin.
I got to meet and talk to Trevor when he and Chris Squire came into the Gallery Night Club on St Pete Beach, FL. YES was staying at the Don Cesar Hotel as they shuffled to each of their FL concerts. Trevor was great to talk to and it was an honor to meet them both. Just so happened that our band, Diamond Alley, did Owner of a Lonely Heart in our set list. We had to do it 3 half steps lower just so someone could sing it. That made the guitar parts challenging.
That guy Ramos is bad ass wow is he good and he can sing to. What a great guy!!!!! I like rick to best key board player. Ever. Bar none. Loved the bass player to Rip buddy I have listened to yes all my life I'm 68. I like John to
I don't know of trevor rabin,but i have to say i know of him now.Thanks for the tutorial on owners of a lonely heart,you through in a bonus trick with that thing you do behind the tuning keys.Hey thanks! jblack57
@rg2027x A-men!! This is EXACTLY how I feel! I get soo tired of today's music. It's sad really. Ever notice that most of today's songs are forgotten in like a week or so, when songs like this live on for years!
Neat! I wondered for a long time if it was him and Tony Kaye playing a fifth apart --- but I couldn't get how they managed to bend exactly in parallel... So Eventide Strikes Again ;)
Check out Trevor playing with Paul Rodgers. Trevor handles the lead while Neil Schon plays rhythm and if course Rodgers singing. Pretty cool stuff. A one-off super group!
"...it's a useful effect to..STOMP CLICK-CLICK ...use to achieve a unique STOMP CLICK-CLICK sound. Start with D and F# STOMP CLICK-CLICK...then it adds A and C# STOMP CLICK-CLICK..."
Actually it was more than a collaboration. He joined Chris squire et al of Yes and renamed the band cinema. When jon Anderson came to sing on the album, they renamed the band back to yes and called the first Trevor Rabin/Trevor horn/Chris squire album, cinema. They kept the name yes for the following 3 Trevor Rabin/yes albums after which he was non-plused and left the group to write movie scores. YES,he was a breath of fresh air for Yes. A real hook-master.
I've always been intrigued by that Fender Strat of his. Does anybody here have any knowledge of this guitar? What year is it, etc? Did Trevor do the paint job on the body as well? Thanks in advance.
Sorry if I sound stupid but what song should my guitar be tuned to to play this solo? I mean I think he said it or was he referring to what tuning the harmonizer puts it in?
This solo is pure genius. So is Trevor Rabin.
The solo that sold a billion harmonizers.
@Payton Izaiah Shut the fuck up
@@XenoghostTV I remember when I bought the boss pitch shifter, this was one of the songs I played on it. lol
Hahahahahaha you sre right.
Greeting from Perú!
That is so true. After this solo Edward D. Harmonizer became the richest man in the world. Thank god we stopped him before it was too late.
❤
He's amazing on the entire album. People say underrated a lot (too much) but this guy is definitely that.
I remember the first time I heard the song, and the solo was like nothing I had ever heard before. The slow behind-the-nut string pull was a surprise, too. Trevor is great.
Thanks for your beautiful comment I appreciate you
He makes it look so easy! 🤯💚
@@trevorrabin2834 And you are not THE REAL DEAL lol
All guitar licks in that song is pure art. I applaud to the guy.
Nothing beats a how-to guitar video with the original player. Ultra-fine revelation of how this outrageous sound was created and the solo, done. Great idea/job!
one of the best solo's ever in my life
AGREED
One of the best rock guitar solos ever!!!

Whatever member of Yes thought the band should hire Trevor Rabin is a genius. Made the band popular and relevant to a whole new generation of fans.
It was Chris Squire. The new incarnation of the band originally was going to be called Cinema until Jon Anderson came onboard after hearing what they were doing.
absolutely mind-bending, awesome and creative and thats just the hair.
04:07 - "And then you end it with a...speedy thing" HAHAHA! xD
Such a wordsmith. :3
One of the finest and seriously gifted musicians to pick up an instrument. It happened to the guitar and the rest is just music. However it can get out of him it’s going to be musical and interesting. Genius!
i saw this guy playing with YES long ago in sao paulo brazil....amazing....one of best shows i ever seen..... congratulations mr trevor....
Total brain bender of a solo when I first heard it and decades later. Perfect for the crisp style of the production too.
Great solo... made a good song even better

Bikewithlove Well said!
Didn't you have a difficult childhood?
I knew there was something eerie about this solo but could not put down what until I read your post.
Sounds like an art critic overanalising a paint splatter that is categorised as a modern masterpiece.
@@KlausSgroi So you’re saying Trevor Rabin sucks? That his playing is just a bunch of spattering? Seems to me you’re just wasting space here.
Glad to see the real deal without holding back. Not insecure at all and nice to see what was really going on in that riff. Thanks for showing this fine riff Trevor!
oh oh!, harmonizing in 5th!, one of the greatest guitar solo ever made..
what does it mean bro? I use a GT100 effect processor how can I get that tone?
@@fachin2688 Just play what he is playing.
This guy seems to know his stuff. With his understanding of harmony he should write film music.
;o))))))
***** Yes I think you are correct, sadly being a great composer cannot make up for a crap film.
This guy? Trevor Rabin of Yes?
He has. For over fifty films en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Rabin#1996.E2.80.93present:_Film_scores
What??? His main career was composing soundtracks for Hollywood...

This is, without hyperbole, one of the best pop songs ever made in my opinion. Everything about it is almost a magic in how perfect it is.
Awesome. If you listen to Trevor Horn talk about the album and this song in particular, it sounds to me like he throws shade at Rabin for being a "South African pop star."

Tom! I listened to this tune every day when I was driving around SF back in the day One of my favorite tunes and sol!
this solo ... too magnificent , unique
Trevor Rabin! A technical Guitar Master!!!
One of the best musicians of all time doing what he's know, just excellent music.
In the guitar solo on the record there's actually two harmonisers; there's the original source, and there's a 5th above, and an octave above.
pure genius
AGREED
Fantastic solo.
❤❤❤❤This man is a musical genius! I’ve said that since the 80’s! Love him!!!!!!!
This solo is a masterpiece.
Trevor, you the man!
one of the greatest guitarists on this planet
Trevor te vi en el 94 en Bs. As.junto a YES y me dejaste boca abierta (genio total)
Great guitarist/musician/composer.
thank you for sharing! amazing guitarist
This kind of stuff is why I love CZcams. I started playing guitar around this time and would think, "How does his guitar sound like THAT??!"
brilliant! thanks for sharing!
I always knew that the solo was with perfect fifths, but I thought it was with two guitarists, amazing solo
AGREED
@pietro1kk Trevor Rabin used the MXR Pitch Transposer 129, try do a search on Google.
That guy Ramos is bad ass wow is he good and he can sing to. What a great guy!!!!! I like rick to best key board player. Ever. Bar none. Loved the bass player to Rip buddy I have listened to yes all my life I'm 68. I like John to
Great teacher.
Damn... I Love FENDERS! They can ROAR like a Lion or Purr Like a Kitten.
The guitar sounds was also heavily compressed through an Urei compressor unit.
Tell me why the hell are Fender NOT making a Trevor Rabin signature guitar like this famous one... ???
I saw online where someone built a replica of this guitar, it looked great!
Amazing!
Seriously knowledgeable musician is Trevor Rabin.
One of the solos that made me want to learn guitar
This video looks so dated yet that solo sounds as good today as it did in 83’ when I first heard it.
One of the elements that took Yes into the 80s.
Drama was a precursor.
90125 LP still their biggest seller
I don't know of trevor rabin,but i have to say i know of him now.Thanks for the tutorial on owners of a lonely heart,you through in a bonus trick with that thing you do behind the tuning keys.Hey thanks! jblack57

God. What a bad ass.
Neat! I wondered for a long time if it was him and Tony Kaye playing a fifth apart --- but I couldn't get how they managed to bend exactly in parallel... So Eventide Strikes Again ;)
I always assumed the solo was double or even triple tracked.
@pryt86 Absolutely! One of the best musicians period! Pure genius!
A monster on the guitar !!!!
Harmonizers are so awesome
What a beast!
Best hair ever on the interviewer.
Check out Trevor playing with Paul Rodgers. Trevor handles the lead while Neil Schon plays rhythm and if course Rodgers singing. Pretty cool stuff. A one-off super group!
Esto es música 🎸 🤟🇬🇧
Trevor gave Yes the kick in the pants it needed to survive in the 80s.
"...it's a useful effect to..STOMP CLICK-CLICK ...use to achieve a unique STOMP CLICK-CLICK sound. Start with D and F# STOMP CLICK-CLICK...then it adds A and C# STOMP CLICK-CLICK..."
😄
Let's hear it for those amazing Video Toaster wipes! Oh, uh and a great solo.
Aww...thanks, kitten! That's so sweet of you.
Ahhh the 80's. rhythm guitars dripping with chorus and solos stung by harmonizers
awesome
Trevor Rabin is a god.
15 years of classical piano training before he ever picked up a guitar and Never had a guitar lesson..
Great Guitarist & Vocalist I thought his Collaboration with Yes was like a breath of Fresh air.
AGREED
Actually it was more than a collaboration. He joined Chris squire et al of Yes and renamed the band cinema. When jon Anderson came to sing on the album, they renamed the band back to yes and called the first Trevor Rabin/Trevor horn/Chris squire album, cinema. They kept the name yes for the following 3 Trevor Rabin/yes albums after which he was non-plused and left the group to write movie scores. YES,he was a breath of fresh air for Yes. A real hook-master.
Joseph Miller you forgot the part where they changed the name of the album to 90125...
The only song the was number 1 was owner thanks to Trevor Horn all the rest was crap .why was he asked to leave and they brought Steve Howe back
look at the very end of the video looks like he put his initials in his guitar with a pocket knife
@rumplebunny agreed!
The solo is out of this world but the interviewer's hairdo is what's driving me insane 😂
Trevor thought he had a mullet, until he met that guy
effect set up please!
Does anybody knows if he is the same musician who composed
the music for the movie ROCKSTAR? I saw his name on the credits.
The method he's using Jimmy Page used in Heartbreaker. Bend behind the nut and arpeggios. He learned from Jimmy (10yrs earlier). You can tell
Another great harmonizer guitar solo (though not as classic as Trevor's solo here) is on voivod's "none of the above"
As Colonel Kurtz said: “The hair.. the hair..”
Very in your face!
Is that using a Octaver effect? How much distortion is it right to use? Awesome playing!
I've always been intrigued by that Fender Strat of his. Does anybody here have any knowledge of this guitar? What year is it, etc? Did Trevor do the paint job on the body as well? Thanks in advance.
It's a vintage Strat, middle pickup is probably Bill Lawrence, the other 2 can't figure out
😮👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ironic that the video is the exact same length as the song.
Yes is so underrated
I loved it when geddy played bass at hall of fame
Behind the nut bend!
@yamilchedraui Quite probably. All Trevor does these days is sound tracks. He's done some major ones. Armageddon, etc
I swear he was playing that exact same guitar at the Anderson Rabin and Wakeman concert I went to in Akron a few days ago.
looks like an older one also, wonder what year?
Master Sessions with Trevor Rabin (2000)
I think.
pschroeter1 Ya he's still using the same guitar. He's been using it since before he was even in Yes.
Fucking amazing!!!
The nerd with the hair, really makes this video.
No your hybrid Seagulls doo puts it over the edge.
can that be done using BOSS PS-6 HARMONIZER ?
A speedy thing at the end....this guy knows hi stuff...;-)
Sorry if I sound stupid but what song should my guitar be tuned to to play this solo? I mean I think he said it or was he referring to what tuning the harmonizer puts it in?
