Rush - La Villa Strangiato Guitar Cover
Музыка
I recorded this onto a backing track in single take (Most of my videos are recorded after I record the audio, but this is live so they are a few mistakes). I tried to keep it as true to the original as possible. My gear chain went: volume pedal (used for swells and also volume changes that are too fast for me to use the guitar's knob), Boss CE-5 chorus (on the whole time), Boss DD-7 delay (set to a very fast delay and used only in the second solo), audio interface, Amplitube 5 Hiwatt emulation (basically cranked on the bright channel with the room mics turned up in the mix for the reverb), then finally an EQ plugin to match the tone more closely to the original.

Alex is one of the most unsung guitar heroes of all time. I wish this song was 4 minutes longer!
I personally think the solo part....into the 7/4 part...is one of the most powerful movements ever composed. I have been getting body chills and shedding tears over it for my entire life.
7 years later, still blown away by your playing
I love YYZ but I've always favored LA Villa. Sentimentally, Hemispheres was the first album that introduced me to Rush As a 14 year old, just learning the bass, Geddy, Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, John Entwistle and John Paul Jones had such an influence on me. I wanted to learn how to bring the bass outside of the bottom rhythm role forward as a strong front instrument. These experiences have helped me in my playing.
WOW you're the only one Ive ever heard play the live ESL intro version. You are my hero.
Stunning bit of work there. Mistakes? Nothing worth mentioning. Very impressive to get all this done on a single guitar and in one take as well. Bravo, sir.
Fook yeah sounds great ... nice king of the hill cover 2!
Dude, I'm really picky with youtube covers. I saw no flaw in this this. Just perfect and made me want to learn how to play a guitar.
There are no mistakes. A piece of this complexity is never played exactly the same way twice. Any guitarist will tell you that. This is as close to studio version as humanly possible if you aren't Alex, and I an sure Alex evolved many parts over the years. Man you are inspiring.
Nicely done. You capture the sheet terror in the second guitar solo.
Fine job Lerxt Meister.
Hes backkkk!!
I... watched your 7 year old cover... and then...found this.... Geez man. You are putting in some serious work. I love what you have done with your life. Keep going. Much love and respect to you.
Very impressive! 👍
Genius is not stretching it.
That was excellent and definitely no easy feat!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Bravo!
Been waiting for this video for 4 years welcome back

Nice playing and tone on the PRS.
When you go on tour, I'll be there.
Dam, KZread algorithm just fed me your video from 7 yrs ago though it was awesome and decided to check out your channel and seen you did a retake and WOW !! new sub, thanks for sharing
Wicked. The Wizards of Willowdale would be proud!
So well played! These pitched harmonics with bands, sharp vibratos are just orgasm for my ears. You inspire me to learn harder and, of course, you deserve much more subscribers and views👏
gg my friend hope you continue your good work :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude you're a beast. This was amazing!
Nice

amazing accomplishment, brother. Be proud and happy, giving inspiration to all of us
Holy polar bears Batman, those are some big mitts!
Such a great cover, even more impressive that it's all in 1! I learnt guitar to play like you, so my long overdue thanks for unknowingly teaching me!!
Sounded great! Stunning PRS btw
Incredibly clean playing. Very nice
HES BACK WHAT
Incredible!
Nice chorus! I’m hoping to find a sound similar to that one day so I can play along to songs like this and New World Man, just something about how swirly it sounds that I like
That is fabulous. Thank you!!
Fooking amazing. I'm very impressed you did it in one shot. Peace
PRS makes average guitarists amazing!

Nailed it
you did no mistakes, you did just live!!
Be proud of your accomplishments on a underrated piece… I’d say Eric would approve. You are missed Neil. May the light of God’s face shine brightly upon you
Bad ass.
Was it actually 4 years between this and your last upload ? Nice work .
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
So frustrating, I can't even get the three pulloffs on that A chord to sound close.
This is incredible! Where did you learn to play the song so accurately to the live version? From ear?

I listened to the song slowed down to about 40 or 50 percent speed and tried to replicate each note. Watching videos of it being played live in slow motion also helped a lot.
