Hi - I am 11 years old and I am in School of Rock the Musical on Broadway and you are my inspiration. I just did this song as my first Rush bass cover and I learned it by watching your video over and over and over and over again. I hope you will watch it. I love your videos so much.

Hi Ellie. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment, it really made my day! I watched your video and loved it, I think you did a fantastic job...and on a full scale bass no less! I showed my wife (Lynn) the video and that was the first thing she remarked on, "Look at the size of that bass!" And, of course, how well you played that difficult song. Anyway, I have a birthday coming up and Lynn thinks we should go and see you perform as a part of the celebration. Will you be in the September 16th, 2:00pm performance?

TJH3113 Thank you so much for watching!! It means so much to me (you don't even know)! And I am so happy you want to come see the show!! I am a Swing in the show which means I cover 7 parts (including the bass player) but I am not on for every show. I go on last minute a lot and I also get some scheduled performances when others go on vacation. But I don't have any that I know of right now. You can still come on 9/16 even though I might not be on (I am still at the theater for every show) or I can let you know the next time I am on!! (My mom is so excited to meet you too - she is a big Rush fan.) 😀😀😀

OK, I just bought our tickets for Saturday, Sept. 16th - Center Orchestra, Row K, Seats 117/116, 2:00 show. We'll be coming down early and going to the Bass Lounge at Sam Ash so I can play a Sadowsky or two before the show (it's my birthday, you know)...shhhhhh. If your schedule allows, maybe we could meet there or anywhere else at you and your Mom's convenience, after all, you'll be on "on the clock" that day, haha. I'm going to send you a message containing my Wife's phone # so your Mom can call or text her. I think that's the most appropriate thing to do. Her name is Lynn and she's very nice. Much, much nicer than me. Look forward to seeing you perform or just meeting you and your Mom, or possibly both!

I love your note lengths... the way you deliberately place short vs. long notes is so cool. Musician at work! And how well you're able to lock into their timing in the rather free parts is amazing. So fun to listen to... oh and did I mention the killer tone? What can I say, it's just how it should be done. Pure Pleasure.

I wouldn't see a problem with using all three, but let your ear be the deciding vote and then go back and repair the TAB/sheet music. I'm not sure if we've had this discussion before, but a TAB or transcription is only as good as the pair of ears that transcribed them. We're closing on on the completion of that Kansas/Leftoverture project and we've really put a lot of workin to making the transcriptions as accurate as we possible can. I'm going to talk to Tim about maybe doing a Rush song when we're done. I'll take a poll to see what song people would most like to see TAB'd/transcribed.

Love it!
