Thanks! Ye I normally end up playing more of the modern live version stuff. I think the way geddy developed this bass part over the years really added to the song

Seriously great. Hope your channel blows up. Your instincts for additions that match the song, which also are ones that a Rush fan could imagine Geddy doing, are excellent. Another great cover!

Thanks glad you liked it! My newer videos have a much more 'complicated' setup so you might like them even more :)

That was some fantastic bass playing!! Loving the addition of some parts/fills that Ged would play live. Make sure those fingers and hands are well insured, they're worth their weight in gold ha

Yeah I kind of learn the riffs and try not think about time signatures in this song. No idea how I would work out all the changes otherwise haha. Thanks again!

Incredible attack from that right hand! That's what it takes to sound like Geddy. Nice Job

@@hemibass It definitely paid off! I've spent the majority of the last 35 plus years learning to play as many of his bass lines that I can. Getting that right hand technique down was quite satisfying.

Amazing, bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wow. Man thats some nasty friggen groovin. Holy moly. What is that, R30? And dude... I just now started working on Geddys "Animate" groove technique to see if I could get back into playing, and you are all over that. That was a pretty awesome display of your friggen... I don't even know what to call it. But I can see you pretty much mastered the evolution of Geddy's right hand technique. And you're so relaxed about it. Great job, man. Thats some badass playing.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it. It's probably somewhere between r30 and Time Machine since those are the two versions I practice to the most. I really love the way Geddy played this bass part in Rush's later years. Yeah I love the technique too. It's fun and it's nice to try and see where he adds it into old Rush songs to get a different flavour. I'm not sure what to call it either haha. I see it referred to as 'flamenco' mostly but I call it 'flicking' and people who like Rush seem to know what I mean. It will probably feature in all my covers in some capacity I'm a bit obsessed (maybe overly so!) with doing it :) Thanks for watching

I think I know the answer to this (your playing is outstanding) but, is there a rush song you haven’t been able to master yet? If so which one?

Thanks! I can't remember on this one tbh I think I was just going straight into my interface and was using a free plugin for some distortion in Cakewalk. This was before I started using more of my gear on my videos though iirc. My more recent videos have some more info about my gear/setup for recording for my channel

Fantastic playing, how on earth do you get that amazing tone?

Thanks! Hit the thing hard and turn up the treble would be my guess. I wasn't using my yyz pedal in this video (regrettably) but check out my newer covers and you can see that in action. That pedal is a really quick way to get a good tone

@@hemibass Good to hear ....I ordered The "limited edition" MP40 and was worried I had another very expensive paperweight on its way. Thanks - Also Ibanez SD500 doesn't seem to like being hit hard. Just got back to playing Bass. Had a Peavey Dyna Bass, a Stinger XB9 (fender JB Copy) and of course borrowed Rickenbacker from my schools music room that were fine for it when I was playing with my RUSH, Sabbath Cover Band 84-94. Debating on dropping the $2500 on a Rick soon. Kind of want to make sure I still have some life left in my fingers first. Thanks for the videos, checked out a bunch already. Cheers

@@hemibass I have not ... there was a used one for sale in my area but like I said I wasn't even sure my fingers would work anymore (and it had black pickguard). I bought the Ibanez combo with a TNT 115 (really good cheap deal) more for the amp than the Bass just to get warmed up and back in the groove. Inevitably I will have them both anyway. I was already pricing out the Steinberger Last night as well because I'm such a Rush nutcase (I know you understand how that is 🤣 ) and I watched your Vital signs Video. Read that other post on how Your Dad got You into Rush, Nice Story. I was given Exit Stage Left as the first Album I ever owned by my Brothers Girlfriend for Christmas 1981 ... changed my life. Saw Rush live, Power Windows Tour, Montreal Forum.

Good suggestion its an awesome bass part. I've actually never sat down and learned it all the way through! I can play up to the first chorus. I'll work out the rest at some point soon.

You're bass playing is incredible and you nailed the tone BUT, just some friendly criticism, the live version you're obviously playing is just too much. I was never really a fan of it because it detracts from the song. (Even when Geddy was playing it that way btw). You're reaching. Too frenetic. Play the album version. Sounds way better.

Thanks. I generally prefer geddys 'live versions' of songs, especially as his playing style developed over the years, so those are the versions I base my playing on. I understand that some people prefer more restraint on bass, however that's not the case for me haha. The more flashy stuff geddy added to his parts the more I liked them! Appreciate the feedback though thanks for watching my cover
