toymaker Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 What are your favorite Squire riffs? Maybe that could be a new thread, but I'm not sure where it should go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 His solo on Ritual from Yesshows is my favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I just love the ferocity of the main riff in Heart of the Sunrise. I'm not really into Yes, but Heart of the Sunrise is very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm Running. The seeds of that go back to Drama and then it was jammed on the XYZ thing as well. Killer bass jams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 For me it's the classic Roundabout. That's when I first heard him. But learning their catalog later Close To The Edge is a benchmark for how he interplayed with Bruford. Also Heart of the Sunrise is another favorite, Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, Ritual, Going for The One, Parallels, so many great examples of his playing. He was the first guy to split his Ric pickups to separate amps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy Jazz Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I love the solos ( HOS, Ritual, Fish) but for some reason my all time Chris´favorite bass line is the one from Siberian Kathru..... opening statement at the concert beginning to set the pace for the rest of the night´s electric bass guitar performance....growling.

Detonator Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 RIP this big, amazingly talented man with big heart. One of the best bass players in rock'n'roll history. Dave Bassquez wrote at Yes' FB page: "Sick to my stomach. I ordered a signed copy of the "fish out of water" CD and when it was held up due to a postal strike in the UK he personally called me on my cell phone to apologize. That's the man Chris Squire was." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyG08QMKt8oNever heard this. Bruford and Moraz too. Cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanNlv Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 As a young, cocky bass player (around age 13) I hung out with dudes that were much older than I was. I boasted that I could learn any song on bass from any artist and play that song from front to end. The older dudes schooled me by putting a YES song on the turntable. Can't remember which one but that is irreverent anyway. RIP Chris Squire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
