He does it… the best I have see.

Seeing this cover made me appreciate Geddys playing more on this album. The original release sounded so muddy I had a hard time making out the parts and intricacies in Geddys playing. Absolutely phenomenal. Great job blasting this one out.

I totally agree. I find it almost impossible to even hear what geddys doing on most of the album on the original mix. The 2013 version is so much more listenable to my ear and you get a much better sense of all the awesome little details in his playing. Thanks for watching. Will do a new video tommorrow :)

I've watched this over and over again... The attack and the power is equal to Geddy's.

Agree, for Rush it was a pretty dark album and so emotional. As a bassist I love that Ged went full force with employing chords on that album.

I was interested to see what you'd make of the ending, it's kind of hard to tell exactly what Geddy's doing so I started just kinda going for it like he does in the snakes and arrows live version. Love how he just starts hammering the shit out of his E string because he didn't want to stop playing, very relatable 😂

Haha yeah well the album outro sounds like several bass tracks simultaneously so i used the live style more. It's quite short on this version though so not masses of time to jam, I just do a couple of 'improvised' open a string bits. Thanks for watching

Hey dude. I don't normally keep all the old recordings, just the final videos. Have you ever used moises? What you can do is put the audio into the software and it will separate all the instruments so you can hear them isolated. Its not perfect, but pretty close! Sorry

That's how it's referred to amongst geddy fans (I think based on his description), and it's his signature technique so I think it's as good as any. I called it the 'flicky technique' before I knew about the flamenco name for it :)
