I have to agree with the other comments...this has to be Alex. I think he has the type of personality to do a cover of this song without showing his face bravo sir.
I'm just gonna put this out there... I've watched almost all of Blobblob22 rush songs. Is this Alex in disguise. The playing is spot on, and his pick hand looks like Alex's.
I noticed the exact same thing. Picking hand, solos, isolated Rush tracks you can't even find, special demo version on Freewill. C'mon. The solos are dead on, even without effects. He nails limelight. This guy I am 100% convinced it's Alex Lifeson!
This was amazing! Couldn't play it even close to how good you played it. Where did you find the tab(if you did)? In the one I used, at around 1:17 or so in your cover; it said to leave the E string open. Yours sound better than what I got out of the tabs I used. Oh, and that's a nice tokai.
One of my favorite songs, makes my hair stand up. I remember when it happened, I was at a base in Yuma arizona when it flashed on the news. Forever written in my brain, I can close my eyes, feel the heat, you know what I mean? I am learning some chord shapes from you. I have to practice my arpeggios.
+Jackson Davis For this song I watched the official video and i was able to get an idea of some of the chords, the rest I learnt by ear as best I could
Amazing as always. I enjoy all of your videos.
thanks :)
Thanks for doing what you do. I truly appreciate it.

Even without guitar tabs you showed me exactly how to play this thank you very much. I think this is a very underrated Rush song.
Thanks. I'm glad the video helps :)

Totally agree
spot on...good Job
Great job on all of your videos!
Nice job - but the first chord isn't an E power chord; it's 0-7-9-7-0-0. Some sort of bizarro Alex chord. Try it!
Yeah, I was hoping this was a how to video, but I lost all confidence when he plays an E there.
I can also hear a 0-7-5-5-0-0 in the recording but the mind plays trick! ;-)
Oops I meant 0-9-7-7-0-0...see what I mean!
love it!
I always loved the guitar in this song, so I thought I'd watch you play it. This rocks. Thanks for uploading it.

+Captain Pie Fox thanks, I didn't use tabs. I was helped by the video of the song, I could make out some of the chords he was playing
This video is great! Pretty sure it's the first Countdown cover on TH-cam!
Come on Alex, we know it's you, show your face. Lol great job! I was wondering when you were going to do this one.
This is like Alex or God,, and I'm pretty sure God doesn't play this good.
awesome jobe dude! what a tune!!!
Very well done!!!!
I think the first chord of the verse progression is E7sus2 not E5.

Always loved this song. I was 16 when it came out and I always wanted to watch someone cover the guitar on this. Very moving song.
very cool BB, nice job!
Sorry Alex, it doesn't count as as a cover when you're doing your own songs. Great job though! One of my favorite Rush songs.
How exactly do you learn these songs? Are you using tabs from a website?

Spot on! Becoming a fan! Wanna form a Tribute band? :)
+Shaun Barry Thanks for that :) I'm not motivated anymore for a band, years ago I would've been into it alright. Thanks :)
We could do one of those crazy over the internet collaborations :)
+Shaun Barry OK. If you've any ideas what we could do ?
Dunno really.. Not even sure how we could do it to be honest!! I've seen lots of people doing online collaborations though.. Where are you from?
+Shaun Barry If you send me a video playing the bass part of song. The problem is there would only be bass and guitar.
Great Cover Dude!
wonder if Big Al was upset he had no solo and had to give way to a keyboard solo, regardless this tune kicks ass. thanks for showing how it was done.
New camera?
+Jack McDermott No, the same camera
Request. The Weapon
Hmmm the Roxanne chord :P
Solid
thanks :)
