I really thought Rush would just die out over time because their music is so esoteric, but here's the new generation keeping Rush alive! Awesome bass playing and the intense facial expressions show how much he's into it! Really enjoyed this one!

@@789juggernaut thank you so much!!! I will try to keep the magic of Rush alive as long as I possibly can.

Most enjoyable performance of 2112 I've had the pleasure to witness. The ric sound is off the hook!

WOW! Thank you so much!

Terrific job, really enjoyed it. So special seeing young guys play such challenging pieces that I grew up with. Great work.

My favorite album from Rush and first concert in 1976 at age 14 you really hit this one out of the park and really enjoy watching you play and must feel like your playing with Alex and the late great Professor,Neil Peart

Awesome!

Awesome work!!

Get an axe n skins man. U got big future. Best of luck. Stay strong. ✌️

Great job, great Rick sound. And I like how you honored each member of our beloved trio in the beginning. Geddy 🤘 Neil 😇 Alex 👍

And a singer.

BRAVO!!

If you’re a reader, pick up his autobiography “My Effin’ Life”. Fascinating story and an easy read “like he’s talking to you in the same room”. His parents, pre-marriage, survived 6 years in the WW2 prisoner or war camps. Got married directly after and migrated to Toronto. And the story goes on!!

I was lucky enough to catch his book tour last November, and so far I’m loving his book. Geddy is a fantastic story teller.

How cool would it be to one day be acknowledged by Geddy Lee? Well done Preston. For me, 2112, Farewell to Kings & Hemispheres (76’-‘78’) were my favorite 3 years of Rush.

If I was acknowledged by Geddy then my goal as a musician would be complete 😂😂😂 I did tag Geddy in an Instagram story once and he saw it but that’s the closest I’ve ever been to being acknowledged by him.

Hey man, do not apologise for a single thing you KILLED IT...the intro was funny as well, great idea to fill the time :D overall enjoyable video and fantastic musicianship....can you please tell me whether you used 'vintage' push/pull thing on that rick..and did you use both pickups or bridge only for this one? Either way great tone! Cheers \m/

Thanks for watching!! And thanks for the positive feedback! I didn’t use the vintage switch, and both pickups were on. My neck pickup was at full, and the bridge was at half :)

@@PrestonHunsinger thing is i thought it sounds more vintage than the typical scooped clang of a 4003 when both pickups are on...i guess its down to that pedal of yours...either way...fantastic sound!

You played that just like me lol I love that tone

👍👍👍👍......"2112" and "Fair Well to Kings" my favorite "Rush" albums. Kinda of an end of an era for "Rush"....your bass playing sounds good....bet you play twin neck bass as well

What effects you using

Thanks!!! I love that one too. There’s a video on my channel from a few months back where I coveted the Prelude, but chances are I might redo it at some point to include pedals ;D

THE WAY YOURE READING THE ALBUM LIKE A BOOK AT THE BEGINNING IS SO FUNNY

The playing wasn't too bad, but terribly rushed (seriously, NO pun intended!). Lucky for you, you're still just a young kid and you have plenty of time to learn to play as well as you think you do. Stick with it, watch your rehearsal and perfornce videos and be honest with critiquing yourself. You may just bring it all together, each in the right measure and be a real good performer some day! 👍

the playing was perfect,; to preston, never mind these "youtube experts" who think they are god's gift to music yet they have ZERO videos on their channel. You're gonna have to read a lot of these types of comments but never let it get you down.

Well I’m a second in and already upvoting for your righteous maple Rickenbacker bass. Literally my dream bass. Also what Geddy was playing on the album if I remember correctly. It’s wonderfully growly when played hard, as you’re doing. That’s what most people covering Rush get wrong-they play too light. Keep up the great work!
