The lazy way to do the solo in a cover song is to just be sure that you play the beginning and the end of the solo the same way that the original artist did.
The middle can just be in the same vibe and no-one will notice.

Yes without Steve Howe is kind of sacrilegious to me. Trevor Rabin era......

From wiki:
"Rabin's disorienting, schizophrenic guitar solo, which was played through an MXR Pitch Transposer, which mixed the original note with one a perfect fifth higher."

do you have another guitar player in your band? You can just have the other dude play the fifth.

nah, just me on guitar. though i've been messing with my bass players octave pedal. not the same, but sounds pretty nice for the solo.

I'd say get the Behringer copy of the PS-5. Cheap and fun. Think of it as an excuse to get a new toy.

Yeah, just fucking buuuuuuuuuy it Prog! It'll do what you want for this Yes solo plus a buttload more. Must I tempt you further?
