    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!

    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.

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    @markovilla1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    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!

      @BrianBrian-eo7xr 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!!

  • @diaphanoux
    @diaphanoux 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you.
      50 times? More like 500. Haha.

    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. ✌🏻❤️

    @DannyMdlG 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @cletos2009
    @cletos2009 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      @DUSTYBASS 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

  • @kingsecho3351

    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!

    @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.

  • @davidnorris7287
    @davidnorris7287 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @ivanmike1968
    @ivanmike1968 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @TJH3113

    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..=)

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @nozfe7
    @nozfe7 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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..

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks. That's the important thing I guess. Back when I was learning this stuff, it was purely by ear.

  • @ericmartens2112
    @ericmartens2112 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @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...

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks. It's a Geddy Lee model so I believe it's made in Japan, but I like it a lot.

  • @ivanmike1968
    @ivanmike1968 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

    @CosmoKrameryyz
    Thanks. I'm not sure if I'll get the 30th anniversary disc. I have a surround system but never ever find myself sitting down and just listening to music. This is enough website for me thanks.

  • @thomasramon9726
    @thomasramon9726 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @MrShelo09
    Thank you. I learned it off the album, but, like I said, it's only as close as I could get it.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @madrobotfan
    Thanks. I always play with both pick ups and tone full up.

  • @alexperez6140
    @alexperez6140 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** 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.

  • @GermiesCoasterYard
    @GermiesCoasterYard 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @jimkerak6404
    @jimkerak6404 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    • @jimkerak6404
      @jimkerak6404 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    My pleasure. In this video I'm using a SansAmp Bass Driver which helps a bit.

  • @simsnathan64
    @simsnathan64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @grahamgreenhill8067
    @grahamgreenhill8067 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    "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!

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @xxh4ny0uxx
    @xxh4ny0uxx 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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
    @EZCreepin 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  9 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @gordonsumner2085

    Thank you man...you are awesome!! i have one question: the first bass solo is taken by the original song? or the live performance? (sorry for my English...i am Chilean) (=

  • @frosty2none1
    @frosty2none1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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:)

    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

  • @LSA2013
    @LSA2013 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just found this, and I have to say that it's helpful, and it made me reconsider trying to master YYZ within a year of starting on bass.
    I cknowledge your disclaimer, and I feel like someone else has said it, but would it be easier to hit the high notes on the 3rd solo by playing 5th and 4th fret of the G string? I only say this after watching some live videos.
    Other than that, this is definitely a help, and I'm looking forward to the next NTBL.

    Could you please consider doing a breakdown of the bass solo for Freewill???

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven’t done a proper one but I did something as a personal favor for a friend. You can find it in my “Unlisted” playlist. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

  • @TJH3113
    @TJH3113  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @frosty2none1
    Good points all. RUSH probably plays their material, live, closer to the recorded music than most other bands.

  • @charliebarber4899
    @charliebarber4899 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like how many RUSH tracks you do because, besides a little heavy stuff, that is all I listen to. Whenever I try to learn something or if I am just screwing around with something hard like YYZ then I can watch your channel and I can see how it is played. Today I spent about two hours on lakeside park, and watching you really helped. Thank you so much. Btw, do you like it or hate it when the string hits the open pickup? I like it in some things, (I have a '79 4001 so I hear it a lot) but in other things, it just makes me cringe.

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. I'm glad to hear that you find the videos helpful. Do you mean the clack you get when the string hits the magnet? I don't mind it unless it really sticks out. My black bass had a problem with that. I thought about putting a small piece of electrical tape over the pole but didn't want a sticky mess left behind when it wore off. I wound up putting a drop of my wife's clear coat nail polish on it and it seemed to soften it a bit.

  • @GM-MarkOfExcellence
    @GM-MarkOfExcellence 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    great job! one question: i play a fender jazz as well - are you dialing down the neck pick-up at all to get a more punchy sound or are the volume knobs all the way up? thanks.

    I'm finding the hardest part of this is learning to pluck those triplets! I'm practicing it every day, and my right hand is having a hell of a time getting used to that muscle motion.
    So, I'm wondering something: when you pluck the triplets, would it be okay to pluck using middle finger first, then the index (in other words, M-I-I instead of I-M-M)?

    • @TJH3113

      Most definitely - use whichever finger feels most natural to use is fine. It doesn't matter which one it is, it still works out the same. Remember, you are only plucking the first two notes. The third note is played, courtesy of gravity, when your finger lands on the string below.

    Also i was wondering how you count into the climb? I tend to do it by repeating the 1-2-3-4 beat played on the c for the intro, but is that proper?

    I appreciate your videos, you are the first "you tuber" I have actually followed. You must have a really good job to afford that awesome bass collection! I look forward to your song breakdowns! Question - what amp are you playing through for this?

    • @TJH3113
      @TJH3113  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your support.
      My wife and I are strictly middle class, I drive a Class B truck for a living. We do not have children and have been able to remain, pretty much, debt-free. I think I got off pretty cheap for my mid-life crisis. Fortunately, my tastes were never too terribly extravagant.
      For this video, I was using my old/original method of recording. I was playing straight into a small Fender SP-10 guitar practice amp. A small, desktop microphone was capturing the music, as well as the bass.

    • @jjorda02

    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.

    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 :-)

    I'm 19 and I've been working on this song for a year and I still haven't gotten it under my fingers :( I don't know if I ever will. This song is on my bucket list but I doubt I'll ever be able to play it no matter how long I've been playing bass. No matter what practice methods I use I can't play it at the record speed like everyone else on TH-cam.
