Hi

Yes - it looks like he uses to hold down a tone cluser first, then a short gliss. Interesting.

Every Blessing

Tony

My wife and I saw Rick Wakeman in concert at a local theatre a few years ago and to say he was amazing is an understatement. A most enjoyable segment of the show was when he played Pachebel's Canon in D 'as other composers would have played it'! A brilliant musician and fantastic all round entertainer.

Hi Freddie,
I know Rick Wakeman is a gifted musician, I think it would be great to see him live. I think all of the members of "Yes" were very talented musicians. The group are still touring but not with Rick Wakeman. (Personally although I admire their musicianship, I dont find prog rock particularly enjoyable to listen to.)
Cheers,
