Around 1975 this is the song that my friend played for me that turned me onto how great Rush was. Too bad the Rush Tribute Bands I've seen don't play this song.

My favorite Rush song!

I really like your approach to teaching, no wasted time but adequate explanations. Well done!

Fantastic Rush lessons! Concise and well played. So nice to seeing the early albums being covered. Solos would be much appreciated.

I've been a Rush fan since the late 70s when i was 11 or 12. But only since i started playing guitar during Covid did i truly realize how great the guitar parts in their songs are. As a casual listener, Rush never seemed to be heavy guitar or really awesome guitar parts, but now that i play...i have much respect for the guitar parts Alex Lifeson created. And it's great that there's so much video of them playing live all through the years. Their last few tours are absolutely incredible to watch since they had so much awesome material to choose from and they play their songs exactly like you know them. Thank you for the lesson!!

Cool lesson Rush is my favorite band of all time Alex is the best!!

Well done! I was hung up on the c note only being played once for the main lick. I was thinking he did it every time.. but did not sound right. Thanks!

I'd never know you had a sore hand. Love the song, gonna give it a try. What a great lesson. Thanks so much.

Love it. I'm a big fan of early Rush and often thought I should try and learn this song but never got round to it. Until now. Thanks great tutorial. Well explained.

Great lesson Kelly! Rock on!. Thx!

Fantastic lesson! Solo lessons welcome for the songs in this series!

Brought back good memories from listening to WMMS 100.7 the Buzzard out of Cleveland in high school.

So awesome. Takes me right back to high school days learning to play the guitar. I wish these videos were available then! I still learned some of the subtleties today.

Thank you so much! Such an awesome song and lesson. Love your channel.

Thank you ....the clean full version....been playing the live one .... nuance

Awesome dude

Well done! I didn't know about the 3 fret on A string for the opening riff! Thanks! I'm waiting for the solo!

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much. Been a Rush fan since day 1 ( thanks to older brothers) and finally getting time to do what I’ve wanted to for 50 years (yikes) thanks to KDA!

Great riff and super fun to play! Thanks for the lesson, Kelly!

My pleasure Bill! And thanks for the channel donation as well. Very kind of you, appreciate it very much.

This is great thank you

Great song.

Thanks for that dude ! I always wanted to know how Alex T-totally slays on that riff !

thanks for the lesson maybe some day I will get this tune down as well as you ...but all I have is right now my good left hand and it needs to learn how to play guitar ...but when I get something down it is such a great feeling I think music especially alex lifesons music is magic for the soul...Im even trying to eat more backbacon dougnuts beers and smokes to get that great alex lifeson tone ah hozer.

Thanks Kelly, been playing this song for decades but there all always nuances to pick up on, incidentally michale schenker tears this up on the Kulick sessions . Alex was a master of big open chords that would ring beautifully through his Marshall’s in the 7Os

Those early Rush tunes were cool, and like your other Rush lessons...nailed it! (Even with a sore hand) as always, thx for sharing. How about some deep dives into Frank Marino's 70's era Mahogany Rush stuff? Rush and Mahogany Rush were the Canadian power houses of rock in those days!

Fantastic! Thanks! Rest up if needed and get that hand back in shape, we will still be here when you get back! 🤠

Great lesson!! I knew about the High A on 5th fret…didn’t realize Alex played the c note on A string first off…after Alex plays G, then D…he’ll play a regular A…then next time includes higher notes

RUSH's first album kicks a$$ !!!

Almost all of them kick ass as far as I'm concerned! That's a lotta ass kicking!!

Man those pulloffs are hard! I cant seem to "pull them off" properly!! Seems I cant get my picking and fretting together and on time! Ooooh lots practice required here. Dont know if I'll ever get it!

I'm bad at math, but I do know that I listened to Rush's first album from front to back more than a million times.

You're a David Lee Roth look alike...Same mannerisms and everything...Thank u for the great lessons u do...

Can you check one thing with the bridge ? I definetly hear that he doesn't slide from 5 freth to 7th at A string but from 6th freth to 7th and cuts it instantly.

Another vote for a full song tutorial please.

Killin' it! 👍 Be careful playing with your injured hand though. I know you already know that, but I had to say it. Is your band covering Rush or is it strictly Metallica?

Great lesson teacher!!!!

Open probably the right version ...power chord I have played
