That tone is to die for! Great job on the cover!!!!

12:45- 13:22😢 beautiful. I recall the Sunday after a Neil’s passing, kneeling in Sunday mass with my son , praying for Neil & his family, Alex and Ged…, and this part kept playing in my head. The notes you played here, brought back the uncontrolled sobbing I experienced in that moment, for my lifelong hero had suddenly passed, and he left a huge hole in my heart and the hearts and minds of so many, I could not help but sob/cry quietly for this brilliant and most beautiful human. RIP NEP, and thank you for your immense musical and lyrical contributions, and for your life’s example. Joe- impeccable job as usual!!

This is probably my fave of the epic/"proggy" Rush tracks. A wonderful playthrough, as always, but this one felt next level somehow. Well done, Joe!

I was about 16 when I first heard this around 2002. A coworker suggested Hemispheres and Farewell to Kings cds. I bought them and would blast them everywhere! None of my friends got it. Didn’t care!

That bass sounds great

Great cover of what I consider Rush at their pinnacle. And that tone, yes a proper bass, proper pedal, but no small part of that is your right hand work. Geddy attacks the strings, it's part of that tone and you have mastered it as well.

Sick, Jazz Bass tone, man. 🤘

Awesome! Well played man this was so good

Not sure, I think it’s all just drilled into my brain at this point

It has been too many years since I listened to this entire masterpiece, and this just randomly showed up,and , wow, you make this look easy. You also seem to enjoy playing. Bravo sir. I look forward to more of your channel.

Beautiful. Thanks for a great cover.

That was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks Joe.

My favorite song ever!

This is an extremely impressive cover. ALL IN ONE TAKE!!!!! You are so talented

Top Rush song for sure! I’ll need to watch at lunch since it’s the full cover haha keep killing it Joe!

Love your cover. And I love Hemispheres!!

beautiful tone OMG

Probably the best prog suite ever made

WOW great playing

Fantastic Joe, 👍

Killer tone!

An excellent way to start the week. Your playing is superb, thanks for posting this Joe it's one of my favorites.

Wow brilliant cover. Every note and nuance there and you were having fun too. My dream is to play this one day, as a beginner bassist it seems impossible XD

Love it! Beautifully and faithfully played - you clearly have ultimate respect for Geddy. Love your style man. Great looking Fender Jazz Bas too!

Great cover, as always. 👍👏

Nice work - one of my favorite albums !

Flawless performance and exact tone, Sir!!! Very well done, Joseph!

That was wild! You did an amazing job with that. I saw Rush perform that when that album came out. Starz opened for them (I think that's what their name was). It was an amazing concert for prog-rock. Cygnus followed by Hemispheres....I don't think they were ever quite as proggy again, LOL. That was one heck of a feat to play that throgh from beginning to end! You rocked it!

I really wish I could’ve seen a show like that, must’ve been insane!

nice!

man, indistinguishable tone difference here between the Jazz and the Rickenbacker!?... mesmerizing. Now just sing Geddy's lines on top of all this!?!?... Geddy's just superhuman

Magníficoooooooooo .... brutal ... un crack Joe ...

Mate, your playing and tone is fkn stella! Great cover man, subscribed instantly I run a YYZ into an DG ADAM, an awesome combo that covers pretty much everything! Cheers from down under 🤟💪

par excellence 👏!!

This would make Geddy blush! Great playing!

Tremendous

This was exc ellant! Love that jazz bass too..I vant!

Hi Joe, there's no doubt you're playing is the real McCoy, it is so good, however what strikes me is the talent of Geddy Lee to come up with this in the first place not to mention that while he is playing this, he is also doing vocals, Each Rush member are genuises.

Hell yeah brother!

Massa!

👍👍👌

Bravo! You have a great bass tone. Do you mind if a ask you what kind of effects, amps or plug ins you have used? Thanks.

It can vary for different videos, but most of my videos here are using a Sansamp DI2112, or a Darkglass ADAM pedal

Please show the settings on the ADAM 🙏

I might do a tone video sometime soon! In the meantime, if all the way to the left is 0 and all the way to the right is 10: Compression amount is around 4 (4 or 8:1 ratio, Atk:7 Rel:7) Drive is at 3 (Drive module A and B are both nice) Character is at 5 Blend is around 8 or 9 Cabinet is an impulse of a PDI-03 that I found online melodiefabriek.com/shop/ir-03/ I’m using the “normalnormal” impulse

Who is the best? Tech 21 + helix or darkglass??

@JoeCalderone

Жыл бұрын

Hard to say, for me I really love the Tech21 distortion circuits. I recently experienced an apartment flood that destroyed my old desk. I didn’t have room on this temporary desk to set up my helix so I tried something different using just the DG pedal this time I think the tones were pretty nice! Live I’ve actually been running the Sansamp into the DG pedal, so there’s tons of combinations

Did you play over the original track for this cover, or were u able to find a way to take the bass out? Am thinking of covering this song myself, any help is appreciated.
