"They were cosplaying with these new sounds" - Steve Howe’s guitars on Tormato with Fernando Perdomo - 525

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

Mark and I just about manage to stay in control of the ‘spirited’ Fernando Perdomo this week. Ask him about guitar tech and he will literally talk for hours - which is exactly what we want on the YMP of course. What we were left with are many fascinating insights into Steve Howe’s guitars and approaches, all based around the greatest Yes album, Tormato. Stay tuned for that hurricane of enthusiasm a little later.

• How did Howe get those sounds for Tormato and why?
• Where is the steel guitar?
• What are the secrets to his guitar approach?
