@@movinginstereo40 OHHHHHH!! 😂😂😂 Totally went over my head. I thought you were saying something about the song. Add to it his ID and the fact that Alex's acceptance speech into the R&RHOF was blah blah blah, blah blah blah. 😁
I have played this for years and adapted the synth chords on guitar. I have always played this so differently using simple power chords. Seeing how you play it I am actually pretty impressed with my adaptations and simplification. It sounds great when I play it and I extracted the sounds from my fret board completely by ear and my way works. People love for me to play it. I am traveling and I don't have a guitar available but when I get home I am going to compare my way to your way and analyse why my way works so well. I think because I play with so much distortion and punch root 5 power chords work well. The nuances of your chords would be lost in the punch and heaviness of my way of voicing this song. Have you ever done a cover demonstration with alternate voicings and fingering? I have learned many songs and played them in all the available places on the fretboard to find the easiest fingering and best sound to my ear. Think I will explore this more. Great video
So this is been my favorite song of Rush forever. I never really thought I would learn or figure out how to play it correctly. But after watching you about a hundred times and playing with the track on guitar backing track.com I'm just about there you are awesome dude thank you so much. And I don't think your Alex like the guy before said because you have a much better guitar if you are in the LA area I have the Alex lifeson Les Paul and we could redo some of your videos if you wish. Thanks again!
Blobblob22 I picked up a Jimmy page double neck China copy from rareguitars.com there sell them on dhgate.com for 350 dollars !theye are not set up at all and are wired wrong,also put some 490's in it with Gibson pots, but after this guitar center could not tell the difference ! The reason I'm telling you this is they also have the white Alex lifeson model and you would be very very happy with it like I said for $350 you cannot possibly go wrong with this good luck and thanks again ! Scott
thanks, that's an interesting website dhgate.com. I'm not interested in buying any guitars at present not even a double neck or Alex Lifeson Axcess which seems to sell cheap on there but the website is handy to know about thanks ;)
Hello friend I just wanted to say you are doing such a great job on your videos and I'm very impressed as you recalled my father died in November and I was really upset about things and your video believe it or not helped me out I am now managing on stage and booking the Motown famous band the ozone we feature Rodney Trotter the singer of parliament who has 25 gold and platinum records both him and Charles Glenn the founder of the bands are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I filmed them onstage just this last Saturday check it out keep up the good work I love your videos you are such a good guitar player
@@Blobblob22 thank you. 2112 was my first Rush album since I was 16 learning guitar. I never really learned those “Alex” chords and only learned simple stuff. (That’s how I learned how to learn to tune a guitar-the first two notes “E-A” Do you happen to have a big list of “Alex” chords? I learned one finally the other day (after 40 years-ha) for “Xanadu” and now can instantly play one of his riffs.
I actually own the Alex lifeson Les Paul I bought it for 4000 before they threw the R40 plate on it and raise the price 2000, great deal huh ? anyways the guitar that they are selling has the cavities for the battery etcetera but they are completely empty and you're not going to get a guitar with a graphtec pick up on her for three or four hundred bucks when the graph Tech cost that alone so I would stay away from that one but the double next are awesome I really love mine
So if you've never seen it you have to watch the trailer park boys number one episode 1 closer to the heart where Alex lifeson gets abducted by Ricky and he says he's a drunk horror as he takes him out of the hotel and take some back of the trailer park he then appears on the Trailer Park Boys Unleashed in Europe and he is a bum out on the street playing Tom Sawyer and he takes the guys in they rob the Gibson Factory go to a studio and record a song with bubbles it's a must-see guys check it out
Sometimes I wonder if this isn't Alex just messing with us. Great rendition of one of my favorites.
I swear I thought the exact same thing.
OK... LOL. I'll bite. Please explain.
Alex is the guitarist for Rush. This guy’s renditions of Rush covers is ridiculous and he is playing a stock Tokai Les Paul copy to boot.
@@movinginstereo40 OHHHHHH!!
😂😂😂 Totally went over my head. I thought you were saying something about the song.
Add to it his ID and the fact that Alex's acceptance speech into the R&RHOF was blah blah blah, blah blah blah. 😁
It totally fits something that Alex would do as well. 😂
Seeing that played SO visually magnifies their originality, nothing sounds like that beautiful
Oh my god I’ve wondered what that 1st chord was for 30 years! One of the first things I ever learnt on the guitar was the main riff.
same here
Great playing as usual.
so good to hear you back
Wow!!! Mr. Lifeson would be proud. Thanks for your videos man. The cover is great. =)
thanks :)
Masterful!
Those amp settings and pedal swaps are wicked on! Awesome video Blob!
Thanks for teaching me this, always loved this song.
thanks :)
Fantastic job! Grats
thanks :)
Great stuff!
Great cover !!!
I'm blown away! 😲 So rad! Awesome job Blobblob22!! 👍👍
Do Between The Wheels! 🎸🎶
BTW.. underrated classic.. live version is insane
Nice job! And I love your Paul! Beautiful
thanks ;)
Awesome job dude!
thanks :)
Damn bro I'm loving all these !!!
thanks :)
Love it
thanks :)
Awesome!!!!

Thanks. Sometimes I use alternate voicing to find out what sounds best to the ear.
SICK!
Wow. I’m speechless! I wonder if Alex has seen this 😂
Thanks :)
your first cover seemed more ...accurate to me !!! but stills a nice job !
Smokin bro

what version of this tune was this from? as usual you nailed it.
Thanks, I used this track - www.guitarbackingtrack.com/play/rush/the_camera_eye_(2).htm
Do you think I could get some good Alex tones using a Line 6 M13?
I don't know anything about the Line 6 M13. Looks like a good effects board though.
@@Blobblob22 thank you.

@@kenkuchnicki9012 Thanks. I don't have a list of Alex chords but hopefully my videos will help you to figure out some of them.
@blobblob22 Incredible rendition!!
And to the 3 douchbags that down voted this, you should be banned from TH-cam.
Alex used the red Strat for this,you’ll never get the same tone from a LP,even he doesn’t
Love it!What pup's are in your LP(beautiful, btw). Is it a Tokai?
It's a Tokai Love Rock. the pup's were on it when I got it, don't know the name of them
Thanks! You are killing it in these songs! Peace

Hey have you done Color of Right yet? Love your vids
Thanks, I haven't done that one yet, may get around to it sometime
Honestly mate cracking job again. Do you not show your face coz you are really Alex ?
Thanks :)
I like your riffs. Some who teach the opener go with
C - G - F after the 1st power chord riff. 1B 3A 3D3G. But yours is easier.
thanks, He's plays it live that way
@@Blobblob22 Well I learned something then. I wlll keep watching you.
@@Blobblob22 its those Tom Sawyer chord shapes!
Great cover! Is that a phaser or flanger pedal you are using?
Thanks it's a Chorus pedal
@@Blobblob22 haha i got both guesses wrong. thanks for the reply
So if you've never seen it you have to watch the trailer park boys number one episode 1 closer to the heart where Alex lifeson gets abducted by Ricky and he says he's a drunk horror as he takes him out of the hotel and take some back of the trailer park he then appears on the Trailer Park Boys Unleashed in Europe and he is a bum out on the street playing Tom Sawyer and he takes the guys in they rob the Gibson Factory go to a studio and record a song with bubbles it's a must-see guys check it out
Are you in New York?
I live in Dublin Ireland
is this Alex's kid?!?!
Are you on a mission to learn every rush song?
No, I don't think I'll get that far :)
Blobblob22seems as if you're well on your way man!
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission 😁👍
