Regretfully, this is as good as it's going to get, but I hope that my complete and utter lack of teaching skills doesn't stand in the way of at least one person (or two) from gleaning even just a tidbit of useful information out of this video.
Again, there are a few parts that are of my own interpretation (most notably the first bass solo).
Also, I screwed up the phrasing of the section under the guitar solo during the slowed/metronome segment, but it's in the ballpark.
DUDE YOU ARE NOT MISREPRESENTING ANYTHING. YOUR RENDITIONS ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!
Thanks.
I love this tutorial, slowly played and well recorded. This works so much better than many other tutorials on TH-cam. Hope to see more! Thanks a lot!
I been listening to YYZ for many, many years and your interpretation sounds absolutely bang on! Wonderful playing!!! Thank you for uploading!!
Thanks a lot.
Mate, not only do you play it very, VERY well but your slower renditions are very clear due to your technique. I've only watched two of your videos so far, and your the first person to get me anywhere NEAR to understanding that goddamn 2nd Bass solo for a start!!!
Well done and thanks
so awesome to see that real music and real dedication to real art is still alive. I cant say enough about your bass playing dude.
Thanks a lot. That was nice of you to say.
TJH3113 Your attitude and approach to the Bass rocks. I agree with J.J.....keeping the Music REAL is important. Remembering Jessica Simpson's epic fail when her autotone/ clic tracks went out is priceless. My Wife teases me and calls me an elitist when I complain about stuff being fake or copied but I tell her I'm an average bassist who DOES play my own bass. I'm so glad to see other musicians feel that way too.
Thank you for taking the time to show these. You make better bass players of us all! I've struggled with this song for a while, but this is very helpful! Keep up the awesome work!
I've been playing this song for years and I did come away with a riff. Excellent job.
The second of Geddy’s bass fills has baffled me constantly. Thank you for showing me how I should have been doing it. You are awesome indeed. ✌🏻❤️
I'm very glad to hear that you found the video helpful. Thanks for letting me know.
Perfect or not, this is still by far the best explanation video for the song I've ever found! Thanks for the help, great playing too
Thank you a lot, kind sir! I was having a hard time deciphering what he would do in the bass solo's and you've really cleared up the fog.
This is a great ....nice to hear the two different bass tones between the Rick and the Jazz ,thanks for posting
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
I totally agree and after All these years. Thanks to you for your instructional videos. Even a 40 year bass player myself. Needs a little help now & then.
Thanks again my Bass brother. Soon after my left thumb heals from my Trigger Thumb operation. I’m gonna put my video of YYZ on You Tube. Thanks Again!
Glad to help, Steve! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you for all of your videos! I really needed a real close-up view of this tune!
Its my pleasure! I hope it helps.
I love your bass tone. You are very gifted. I will master this by the end of the year
Thanks.
I've been watching both videos numerous times and this one in particular I gotta say, when you play it slowly, I kept track of your time with the metronome and IT IS FLAWLESS!!.. Two thumbs up.
Edit: We all know you must've played this piece at least 50 times to achieve this perfection.LOL
Thank you.
50 times? More like 500. Haha.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us, I will always be in your debt Sir.
You should get the Nobel Peace Prize for this video! Thanks so much, I couldn't get past these parts before. You did a great thing here!
Aw, you think? Thanks a lot. I'm glad you found it helpful.
agreed! This also is the video that finally taught me that Middle Bass Solo or the second solo riff.. which I was trying to learn for 30 years!! Thank You!!
Thanks Troy for doing that.. is very nice from you..i learned this one probally like 3 or 4 months ago but i realize that i have some mistakes in some of the bass solos so thats very very helpfull...you are doing it very good..
I've been using the sheet music/ bass tab from the Deluxe Bass Tab Collection and it is not perfect either. Thanks for giving me more insite to how to riff that stuff. I will definitly use some of your techniques. This was very helpful. This is a tough song.
@MalaysianGov
Thank you. I'm very glad that you found it helpful.
Thanks. That's the important thing I guess. Back when I was learning this stuff, it was purely by ear.
Thank you very much. I'm really glad that you found the video useful.
I'll be sure to check out the CTTH video.
@TJH3113 - I agree! Very tough to nail that slide once you get into the "groove", and when figuring it out, (even slowed down) it's difficult to pick out the last few notes as he barely plays them. I recall messing with that one for an hour once and nothing sounded right. I've also heard the "many incarnations" of that riff on different performances.
this guy here is far the best on doing bass covers and is very inspirational bass player and an extremely accurate bass player. AWSOME!
Thank you for this :) I found this incredibly useful as well as thorough ! I never quite understood the dynamic of this song as well as I do now thanks to you.
Dude! Whenever I have a great song that gives me trouble I open your channel and see if you covered the song. I have figured out many parts with your help.
Dry Clean Super Center Thanks. I'm glad if you found some of the videos helpful.
Hmmmm...me too...hahaa..thx dude...great job !!!
I'm glad you found it helpful and thanks for letting me know.
Take care and keep up the good work.
Great job on the solos. Been looking for an explaination like yours for a long time. Lots of videos out there just don't sound right. You break it down to the most basic level which is what alot of us need. Thanks again for putting the time in and creating an excellent tutorial of this legendary song. Please consider doing "Territories" from Power Windows. I would really like to see that one.
Where would I be without your videos - I wouldn't have a hope in hell at learning YYZ without this video, thanks so much!
Well done sir!!! Thank you for clarifying this monumental song!!!!
Thank you very much. I hope you found it helpful.
Hola, I've been playing this song for years and if I put it down for awhile, I have to regain my chops for it! lol.. what I like about you is the fact that you can play it about as good as it can be played and your forthcoming about your own interpretations. Its hard to speak somebody's distinct language (especially like Geddy) perfectly. So many people out there posting vids of themselves "confidently hacking" this tune like they own it!
Thanks a lot.
robert swearingen You hit it out of the park, a lot of people actually get really pissed when you ask ...'Are you sure that's on the money???' Nothing wrong with someone saying..' This is as close (IMO) as I can get...so see what you can add to it.' The above Bassist s damned good, it's not like he picked some simple pop music to take apart and learn. The ass clown who thought his playing was beyond reproach or critique is (aptly named ) a hack who calls himself.. PUDSY. I tried to explain to him that we're ALL works in progress and practice along with lessons works in a positive way.
@TheNitto25
Gee, thanks a lot. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and always feel I can do better but I'm glad you found the video helpful. I had a mid 80's Ibanez Roadstar 2 as well. It had 2 humbuckers and the tuners were two to a side. Did a lot of gigging and recording with that bass.
@c033954
Thanks a lot. I'm really glad you found it useful. I'll give some thought to Territories. I haven't covered that one because of the long segments where the bass sits out. Aside from that I like that song a lot.
Thank you, for slowing it down. I still had to play it at .25x speed on the bass solo at 3:10 but I got it now! You're the bomb!
I'm so glad that you found it helpful. Thanks.
Nice work. Those 1st two solos have always been a bear to pick out. It's funny, when we all first heard them, we were blown away by the 3rd one, but it's the easiest one to pick by far! In contrast, the first two go by so darned fast you wonder just what the heck he played. IIRC, the song is done on the jazz, but the rick was used for the solos and was a bit more distorted. this is easier to pick out with the track slow and solo. I play the 1st a bit different, but just by a note or 2.
Great playing as usual. Thanks for commenting on my homepage, and yes we love cats and Halloween too!...keep on rocking!!...you have a gift.
Perfect ...part by part !!
I´ve spent a lot of time before, searching for, listening to master tracks,videos and one tab from Alvabass that seeemed for me the most accurate..to "study" YYZ..and your job....is perfect !!!
Thanks my friend..
This makes me want to take this song again...and work on it again..=)
Been trying to play this for years, thank you man!
Excellent and accurate tutorial. Great playing
in this video you said that you try to learn your covers as closely to how the artist plays it as you can. i really respect that... and i could tell you do that before you said anything about it. it really shows... thanks
"I'm just happy that I made it to that point" as a comment on the third solo it's waaaaay too accurate of a feeling. It's so hard to get your hands to move so damn fast!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
@WelshPhantom
Thanks. Same here with choking on the second solo. Usually happens if I'm digging in too hard.
Trust me when I say that you don't want to know what I'm doing at the end of the song - complete fabrication. I should listen to the isolated bass track to see if I can tell what's really happening there, but at this point I'll probably stick with what I've come up with.
nice, between this and the isolated bass track, I'm well on my way to learning this one. I slow down the isolated track to get the notes exactly correct, but these 2 videos helped get me off the ground
for anyone else that may stumble here, this video is also invaluable, it's geddy's isolated track from the album: th-cam.com/video/hPAqEQ1_ctQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful.
@vtx1300dave
Thank you Dave and while I have gone to great lengths to learn and play these songs "note for note" this is one of the few which I adapted to suit my abilities. As my playing progressed, I really put a lot of focus on the very things you mentioned - clarity, timing and unwanted noise. It's important to not only play the correct notes but to achieve as "quality" a sound out of each individual note as possible and keeping strings from ringing out - proper muting techniques etc...
Nice job Troy. Your NY accent is abundently clear here, along with the nicely played accents of this song.....lol
I'm glad that you found it helpful.
Nice video. Ive always been a musician, but only started bass a few days ago. I've already had an understanding of the notes, and stuff, and I'm a big rush fan, and this video definitely helped clarify the bass part for me. not perfect, but nice job, and thanks alot.
@kswee
Thank you. No, I haven't spent any time on Tempus Fugit but I'll try.
@markovilla1
Thank you very much. I'm glad you found the video useful. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks. It's a Geddy Lee model so I believe it's made in Japan, but I like it a lot.
@MrShelo09
Thank you. I learned it off the album, but, like I said, it's only as close as I could get it.
You know Troy, It seems we all want to hear our favorite songs the exact way we first heard them. Fact is, by the time these songs go on stage they all almost get recreated by their origonal authors. This is done because as musicians we are always changing things up for a couple of reasons. First reason is to always challange our selves. Second is to keep from becoming bored and complacent. Third and I quote the great JPJ is "Mainly because I cant remember how I did it" So we need not worry:)
dude your too modest! but I like that. excellent job!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot.
I would like to see what your brain looks like on the inside!! Wow!!!!!!!! You're a genius Troy and gifted!!!!!!!! :-)
From what my Brother tells me you would be absolutely correct! I have never had the great fortune to actually see them live:( I hear it said you could put the CD in duiring one of their concerts and they would in perfect time and note for note! With that said I just believe it is important for folks not to get wound up to tight, at least at first with being perfect with the recording. But in time I believe you should for the challenge as well as for the lessons in it.
Seriously, you are really good and really on the dot. And your guitars always sound great, very jealous. lol....keep it coming
You're a monster, man (in the good way, of course). Amazing tutorial.
@Fezthelonebassist
Thank you. It was my pleasure.
@Equipe3v
That's exactly what I do - use those last four C hits to set the tempo and then follow up with a silent four count.
@frosty2none1
Good points all. RUSH probably plays their material, live, closer to the recorded music than most other bands.
Thanks for letting me know that you found it helpful.
@BrianSchultzBass
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm just a collector.
very VERY helpful. Many thanks. Funny to see how wrong I'm doing in some sections. I, too go by ear but I also learn a lot from fellow you-tubers. I think everyone has their own abilities and limitations and different styles arise. The end result is what's important to me. I don't ever expect to be perfect but you have Indirectly taught me how important it is to develop clarity, timing, and the importance of minimizing unwanted noise. (constantine2112 also).
My pleasure. In this video I'm using a SansAmp Bass Driver which helps a bit.
Yeah, I play parts of it slightly differently, but then so does Ged live.
I watch you do these things seemingly effortlessly and I think, Damn, whats wrong with me? So its good to hear you discus your difficulties and approximations lol
I like to add a bend to the harmonics on the solo too, no one else ever does that, but its fun. Press on the back of the neck forward and the front of the body back and release
We can only get so close to what Geddy does.
Gracias a tus videos pude terminar de aprender YYZ, gracias!
¡Es bueno oir eso! Gracias por hacérmelo saber.
@ivanmike1968
The middle one is the one that always gave me trouble. The first solo I play my own way so I'm pretty confident playing it. The last one is fairly straightforward but the middle one...even if you listen to ten different clips of Geddy himself playing it, you can hear that even he has varying degrees of success nailing it.
Not clear on why you use the word "attempt"... You're very accomplished. These are great performances. The guitar volume and vocal volume could be more even but I'm grateful. Just a guitar player learning these songs for a 3-piece in which the other guitarist and I switch bass/guitar duties. I love playing RUSH on bass...Who wouldn't :-)
@blazix201
Excellent. Glad to hear it.
@magnafeye
Thank you very much and your welcome.
@nozfe7
Glad it was of some help to you. Thanks.
If that isnt perfect, then i dont know what is. That is so accurate to the song that you cant even tell a difference. Great job :D
Thanks Flavy.
Thanks for helping us out.
If it has helped you, then the pleasure was mine.
You didn't blink your eyes much on these tutorials!!! :-)
I try not to.
@@TJH3113 That's amazing control :-)
Fair enough.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful!
Thank Troy, Excellent job!!
@madrobotfan
Thanks. I always play with both pick ups and tone full up.
Thank you. I'm glad if it was of some help.
Bring the Ricky back! These vids are great, very helpful! Also enjoying the masks in the background...
me again , I know its not a real fender, but I found a squire jazz that moded more put some seymore Duncan quarter pounders, a high mass bridge an a .047 bumblebee cap an it sounds great, pretty sure with a little work I'll have that tone down, thanks again for writing an helping me find my way thru this music. this squire does play great. I have 11 Spector's so I know what a great bass plays like an for what this Squire bass cost it's fantastic
@boothsgardenstudios
I know he used both basses on that album but I'm not sure which songs he used which bass on. I've seen the discussion on-line before so you should be able to find out if you do a little digging.
Thanks a bunch for posting this. It's nearly impossible to hear precisely what Geddy is doing at many points on the recording.
I hope it was helpful.
Thank you for commenting. It was my pleasure.
J'adore ! Vous êtes un virtuose !
non, je ne suis pas, mais je vous remercie
Awesome video! Congrats!
+bdmstrings Thanks.
On this, I used the treble and bass knobs on the amp. On some later videos I used my SansAmp Bass Driver. I go over how I record briefly in the information section of my channel if you're interested.
I get very distracted when watching your videos for some reason...
lol - even so, great bass skills sir. I would hope that Geddy himself would be proud.
Thanks.
Beautiful! Thanks!
You are great, man!!! - Congrats!!
@MrAAO21
Thanks, I'm glad.
The Best Tutorial!!!
@duilkin
That's a high price for admission to a band. Glad you made it in.
Hey I'd like to say a couple things. I picked up a bass last month, and i figured I'd give myself a headstart by learning this song. Your videos helped me figure out the song when online tabs weren't helping much. Keep up the great work, you've helped out more people than what the comment board says.
Second, I have a B50 bass. The bridge pickup has a twangy noise, but nowhere near the growl yours has. What pickup would you recommend me replacing it with? Thanks
@EZCreepin
Thank you.
Awesome tutorial! This has helped a ton. I know its been so long since you posted this video, but do you think you could possibly do a tutorial/breakdown of the little part right before the end of the song where Geddy goes into playing those incredibly fast triplets? That's the only part I can't seem to get.
***** Thanks. It never occurred to me to do that last riff because I'm totally hacking it myself and don't think what I'm playing would be worth showing anyone. I just came up with something that fit the rhythm and what notes I "could" decipher.
@chrisrusty99
Thanks. I'm glad it helped.
@Legionbass19
No problem.
@CosmoKrameryyz
It's tough. Even Geddy struggles with from night to night so don't be too hard on yourself.
thanks.... lots of good info here.... trying to nail this at 70 percent since 1982.... I must really suck, will be able to get it to 98 percent because of you! thanks again!
Cool. I hope it helps.
takanobu kitao Bass Bruddah, we're all works in progress..lol!! I have been hacking away at the bass intro of 'Colorado Bulldog' by Billy Sheehan since forever and YES, I usually feel like burning all my basses, amps afterwords. Come on, it's not like you're trying to learning some cheesy drivel by pete wendt and fall out boy. Although the Fender guitar Co. did give wendt a signature bass,
