CD - Steve Howe - Guitarscape

1CD - Import

Guitarist Steve Howe's his new solo album "Guitarscape" marks a new chapter for the Yes and Asia legend as he presents, what amounts to, a guitar masterclass. "Guitarscape" features 14 new instrumental tracks in a host of musical styles, from rock through to acoustic and classical, each bearing that unmistakable Steve Howe sound.

Steve plays acoustic, electric, steel and bass guitars along with keyboards and is joined by his son Dylan on drums. Steve has written all of the tracks and produced the album. "This album has given me the opportunity to do something different", says Steve. "I bought a Novation Summit keyboard and found that it had a wealth of inspiring sounds.

It gave me a golden opportunity to create my own keyboard structures - chordal movements and structures that I thought were a bit different. Because it's a different sort of album, I'm not using terribly conventional chord sequences but things that give me a fresh feeling and opportunities to improvise and stretch out as well as be melodic and make this a nice tuneful experience".
