Yes Album Listening Guides – Tales From Topographic Oceans Part 5 – Steve Howe’s guitars – 601

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I returned to Tales form topographic oceans to consider Steve Howe’s guitars, based on Mark’s expert knowledge and thanks to Geioff Bailie kindly sending us photos of the Steve Howe guitar collection book. After recording I also heard from Nick Kokoshis that he has assembled a set of photos on Facebook all about the guitars on Tales so please see the link below to see what he has found out. You may need to join the Facebook group to view the photos. What guitars did Steve Howe use for Tales and why? How did he create consistency? Did he use his 'usual' guitars? Let us know if you agree with us!
