excerpts from Starship Trooper by YES from The Yes Album transcribed by Ed Schaum version 1.0 May 25 1998 THIS FILE IS MEANT FOR PRIVATE STUDY ONLY. Here are a few parts from Starship Trooper. I will add the rest of the song later on but a lot of people have asked for these sections. I did this from memory without referring to the album so I hope I didn't forget any notes! You can always find the latest version of this file on my site: The Guitarist's Complete Guide to Yes http://home.att.net/~deb.ed/yes/ All comments and corrections welcome. If you find this file useful please let me know. Ed Schaum deb.ed@att.net ******************************************* Opening theme - there are a lot more notes in this section than it sounds like unless you listen closely. All of the other tab I have seen of this section leaves out a bunch of notes.

This builds on the original opening. Be sure to keep the accents going on the descending bass notes.

You'll have to be on your toes to toggle your effects at each changeover without losing your place. I also had no way to notate the all the bends correctly but most players won't have trouble with this. guitar 1 E---||-------10-----------------------------------|--------------------- B---||--10^------10^\---8--10-----10h11p10p8\6----|-----6-----7/8------- G---||----------------------------------------h8--|--8-----8-------9---- D---||--------------------------------------------|--------------------- A---||--------------------------------------------|--------------------- E---||--------------------------------------------|--------------------- guitar 2 E------------------------------------------------||--------------------- B------------------------------------------------||--------------------- G------9p7\5p0-----7p5p0---------7p5p0-----------||--0--2--0-----3------ D-------------------------7p5p0---------7p5p0----||--------------------- A--------------------------------------------h5--||--------------------- E------------------------------------------------||--------------------- E-----------------3-----6/8--------8--8h10--8-----10/12--10--12--|------ B------------4\3-------------8-----------------------------------|------ G---p2h3---------------------------------------------------------|------ D----------------------------------------------------------------|------ A----------------------------------------------------------------|------ E----------------------------------------------------------------|------ guitar 1 E---12/15-----12h15p12\10-----12--10----------||-------10--------------- B-------------------------------------13--10--||--10^------10^\--------- G---------------------------------------------||------------------------ D---------------------------------------------||------------------------ A---------------------------------------------||------------------------ E---------------------------------------------||------------------------ E------------------------11--11/13--11--|--13--13/15-----12h15p12------- B---8--10-----11p10--11-----------------|------------------------------- G---------------------------------------|------------------------------- D---------------------------------------|------------------------------- A---------------------------------------|------------------------------- E---------------------------------------|------------------------------- guitar 2 E--------12-----------------------------------||------------------------ B---15^------15^\------12---------------------||------------------------ G--------------------------14--12--12--14--0--||--3^-----3^-----3^------ D---------------------------------------------||------5------5---------- A---------------------------------------------||------------------------ E---------------------------------------------||------------------------ E-------------|--------------------------------|----------------3--5---- B-------------|--------------------------------|--5h6-----5--6---------- G------3^-----|--3--3--3-----3--3--3-----3-----|-------5---------------- D---5------5--|-----------5-----------5-----5--|------------------------ A-------------|--------------------------------|------------------------ E-------------|--------------------------------|------------------------ guitar 1 .
