- Wasn't too happy with my first version of this song and wanted to redo it. I decided to play it on the Fender this time since it is my main bass and this is a hard song to get through! Happier with this take (and got it a lot quicker than when I was using the Ric)!
I'll do some easier older Rush stuff on the Ric as a tribute to Geddy's 70's playing but I wanted to have bit more fun jamming to this song for my cover and the Jazz definitely makes me play a lot better.
I made a backing track from the isolated tracks and recorded my bass on top of that. No Keyboard track though so filled in the synths in the guitar solo with some bass.
I would kill for your right hand technique! Other than Dirk, you and one other bass player I've ever seen, can pull this off. You are a most impressive bass player. Bravo.
Thanks. Very kind of you to say, I'm glad you like my style! Thanks for watching
BRAVO
Thanks :)
Wow!
Thanks :) More coming over the next few days
Nailed the solo at 4:51! Amazing work man🤘
Thank you! Always satisfying to get that bit right
Almost
That was some fantastic bass playing!! Loving the addition of some parts/fills that Ged would play live. Make sure those fingers and hands are well insured, they're worth their weight in gold ha
Thanks Chris! Glad you liked it :)
Great!!! Bravo!
It will help me a lot at playing this song......
Thanks!!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Heck of a job here pal! I enjoyed all the extra licks, especially at the beginning. Got that live show style.
Thanks! Ye I normally end up playing more of the modern live version stuff. I think the way geddy developed this bass part over the years really added to the song
@@hemibass It definitely did, Rush live is just another level altogether man
Perfection , love it ,
Thanks! :D
the sound and eq on this is spot on!
Thanks glad you liked it! My newer videos have a much more 'complicated' setup so you might like them even more :)
Incredible attack from that right hand! That's what it takes to sound like Geddy. Nice Job
Thanks! I tried to model my technique around footage of him when I started playing so I'm glad you think some of that paid off :)
@@hemibass It definitely paid off! I've spent the majority of the last 35 plus years learning to play as many of his bass lines that I can. Getting that right hand technique down was quite satisfying.
Interesting time signature for this song. And once again you're killing it on bass!
Yeah I kind of learn the riffs and try not think about time signatures in this song. No idea how I would work out all the changes otherwise haha. Thanks again!
Wow. Man thats some nasty friggen groovin. Holy moly.
What is that, R30?
And dude... I just now started working on Geddys "Animate" groove technique to see if I could get back into playing, and you are all over that. That was a pretty awesome display of your friggen... I don't even know what to call it. But I can see you pretty much mastered the evolution of Geddy's right hand technique. And you're so relaxed about it.
Great job, man. Thats some badass playing.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it. It's probably somewhere between r30 and Time Machine since those are the two versions I practice to the most. I really love the way Geddy played this bass part in Rush's later years.
Yeah I love the technique too. It's fun and it's nice to try and see where he adds it into old Rush songs to get a different flavour. I'm not sure what to call it either haha. I see it referred to as 'flamenco' mostly but I call it 'flicking' and people who like Rush seem to know what I mean. It will probably feature in all my covers in some capacity I'm a bit obsessed (maybe overly so!) with doing it :)
Thanks for watching
Excellent - really enjoyed this !!!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for stopping by!
Signal Chain? Amazing tone and right hand technique.
Thanks! I can't remember on this one tbh I think I was just going straight into my interface and was using a free plugin for some distortion in Cakewalk. This was before I started using more of my gear on my videos though iirc. My more recent videos have some more info about my gear/setup for recording for my channel
Amazing, bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks!
Nice, you used Geddy's two different right hand styles, very well done.
Thanks for watching. I love the 'flamenco' stuff it's a lot of fun
I think I know the answer to this (your playing is outstanding) but, is there a rush song you haven’t been able to master yet? If so which one?
Thanks that's nice of you to say. Well I can get through all of them but there are some parts that don't always go well :) digital man is tough to play cleanly
👑
👍
Fantastic playing, how on earth do you get that amazing tone?
Thanks! Hit the thing hard and turn up the treble would be my guess. I wasn't using my yyz pedal in this video (regrettably) but check out my newer covers and you can see that in action. That pedal is a really quick way to get a good tone
@@hemibass Good to hear ....I ordered The "limited edition" MP40 and was worried I had another very expensive paperweight on its way. Thanks
- Also Ibanez SD500 doesn't seem to like being hit hard. Just got back to playing Bass. Had a Peavey Dyna Bass, a Stinger XB9 (fender JB Copy) and of course borrowed Rickenbacker from my schools music room that were fine for it when I was playing with my RUSH, Sabbath Cover Band 84-94. Debating on dropping the $2500 on a Rick soon. Kind of want to make sure I still have some life left in my fingers first. Thanks for the videos, checked out a bunch already. Cheers
@@SCVM__ I think the pedal is great. Really improved the sound I get from my playing. You ever tried a Geddy Jazz bass? They are a lot cheaper and really nice basses. Respond especially well to hard hitting from what I can see!
@@hemibass I have not ... there was a used one for sale in my area but like I said I wasn't even sure my fingers would work anymore (and it had black pickguard). I bought the Ibanez combo with a TNT 115 (really good cheap deal) more for the amp than the Bass just to get warmed up and back in the groove. Inevitably I will have them both anyway. I was already pricing out the Steinberger Last night as well because I'm such a Rush nutcase (I know you understand how that is 🤣 ) and I watched your Vital signs Video.
Read that other post on how Your Dad got You into Rush, Nice Story.
I was given Exit Stage Left as the first Album I ever owned by my Brothers Girlfriend for Christmas 1981 ... changed my life.
Saw Rush live, Power Windows Tour, Montreal Forum.
@@SCVM__ I love my Steinberger but they have got so expensive since I got mine. No chance I could get one now. Yeah my dad had Exit Stage Left on cd and it blew me away (YYZ in particular). I had never heard bass playing like that before! That's awesome the Power Windows tour bootlegs are some of my favourite. You are very lucky to have seen Geddy live on his Steinbergers!!
Turn The Page?
Good suggestion its an awesome bass part. I've actually never sat down and learned it all the way through! I can play up to the first chorus. I'll work out the rest at some point soon.
You're bass playing is incredible and you nailed the tone BUT, just some friendly criticism, the live version you're obviously playing is just too much. I was never really a fan of it because it detracts from the song. (Even when Geddy was playing it that way btw). You're reaching. Too frenetic. Play the album version. Sounds way better.
Thanks. I generally prefer geddys 'live versions' of songs, especially as his playing style developed over the years, so those are the versions I base my playing on. I understand that some people prefer more restraint on bass, however that's not the case for me haha. The more flashy stuff geddy added to his parts the more I liked them! Appreciate the feedback though thanks for watching my cover
