Rush - Red Barchetta guitar cover

[JewFin69]

Wow, that was tight. Well done!

[flizbarg]

Hey, I liked it and I'm a bass player, so you must have done a pretty decent job... ;->

[mastercraft48125]

You got it, man Nicest cover yet.

[dannyhood66]

@ConservatismnInExile I wouldnt say red barchetta? Red barchetta? haha! Red barchetta?? ha ah! I mean it is a nice song i guess? If you like sitting around campfires bud light one girlfriend. Just messin. Its a little to nice for me, bytor journeys mile long sheets of ice tobes of hades into mind blowing soaked dripping acid blues cygnus x1 blast off into the heavens spiraling whirling thru orphic trench, sound and fury drowns my heart already dead every inch and nerve is torn apart

[sechenry6]

thats a sweet guitar as well, i am jealous

[plungerjockey]

Bad Azz bro, loved it. Posted this $-hit to my F.B.

[plungerjockey]

awesome

[whitehartlane1882]

Awesome cover

[MrDarkle]

I chop it up, but, I'm never asked to stop playing it. One thing's certain, I will never be Alex, but, I sure enjoy his style. Nice job here on the cover. I play a "Stagg" strat copy.

[clitoricam]

Great job, but not quite perfect. I use any and every souce I can to get things note perfect. If you did this straight by ear, then awesome.

[arc1974]

I never comment to youtube videos. You, sir, rocked that song. Good job.

[golfdom1987]

Nice cover!

[eduardobadra]

how's the piezo on that PRS?

[footcandy]

@eduardobadra Check out my cover of Rush's Hope for the piezo sounds.

[bassplayer20orange]

after the first part of intro being 12G, 7A, 7D, and 12A what would be the second intro tab like from my perspective i saw 5E, 5A, 5e or b, 5A

[Sk8bordr125]

@bassplayer20orange its 4a 5d 5g 5a and then after that 1 time it does 4a 5d 5g 7b

[privettricker]

Nicely done, my friend. I'm digging it.

[Alexads0303]

Muito bom, rush rush!

[drzfynest65]

Holy crap, that solo was spot on! Awesome job!

[filip1900]

hy, i´m loving your videos. I´m about to buy an archtop or a hollowbody ii prs.. not sure yet. what´s your choice, or opinion about their different aspects???

thanks a lot

[ednaplate]

This is great. Thanks for sharing this from a fellow Rush nut and PRS fan. Greetings from the UK.

[simplegrl11589]

PLEASE MAKE A HOW TO VIDEO !

[simplegrl11589]

cAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME THE CHORDS FOR THIS

[SherarEscoria]

Great job man. That guitar sounds great!

[drksyduvthamoon]

awesome cover! i can't quite nail the rythm part starting at at 1:49. I can't tell what chord that is!

[footcandy]

@drksyduvthamoon It's an FMaj7 of sorts (x33210), then you take your middle finger off (x33010) and back on again, then slide it up to the third fret . (x55430). Hope that explains it, if not feel free to ask :)

[drksyduvthamoon]

@footcandy thanks, that sounds alot better.

[hammockrat1]

Did anyone else see the BOSS fret inlays. Those are BEASTTT. It has to be a custom guitar.(obviously)

[footcandy]

@hammockrat1 Aren't those fret inlays nice? The guitar is just a stock Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II with piezo, available at your nearest PRS Dealer :)

[simplegrl11589]

omg rush i love you...good job

[avebrian]

Dude you should really practice that solo a bit more before posting, good attempt thouh

[Annonymus121]

GREAT COVER, and Dayum that guitar is nice!

[olfoogy]

nice job...one of my favs...classic musicianship

[zappalaney]

great job man ...........keep up the good work !

[FloydsterUtube]

What amp are you using - Gallien Krueger?

[connerspencern]

I love playing this song on guitar, also Limelight.

[BassDude50000]

sounds awesome!!!! great job!

[VinnasBR]

great cover! which PRS is this?

[AshlandMen]

1:16 OH MAN that riff gets me worked up... every time

[Tek109FM]

Awesome job bud!!! I absolutely loved it.

[snowdog2112yyz]

Damn man!!! GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!

[xxgiannax17]

love it man thank u so much !

[supertuber66]

In the second and third verse use an overdriven sound w/ some chorus. going back to a clean tone kills the drive of the song. Take a listen to the album version and you'll notice the momentum it gets because of that. I setup my od w/ a little clean blended in so it sounds relatively cleaner than the distortion.

[supertuber66]

In the distorted riff starting about 1:30. Try putting a little half bend on that G in the bass. It helps the feel.

[gsmark455]

Well done, footcandy!

Nice job

[cullen949]

i think you should tab this since all tabs for this song are wrong.

[joerox23456]

my god look at all those harmonics =O

[azzuri229]

what equipment do you record with?

[footcandy]

@azzuri229 The camera is just a sony digicam (not very expensive one) and for recording on the pc I use s Presonus Firepod for the inputs and software is Cakewalk Sonar.

[bowmant09]

nicely done great job

[joeltoth2]

that guitar is unreal, same one alex lifeson uses in his demos

[trevizons]

Quite amazing, a very good job, quite accurate, just the solo needs to be polished and a liitle bit more of emotion needs to be added, but everyhting else is superb, beautiful PRS and nice sound, the effect changes are very well synchronized I give you 5 stars out of 5, well done !

[donkeyface69]

thats a chick playing that guitar right???

[joakoPRIMUS]

does it cares? ;)

[NinjaTurkey14]

the only part im having trouble with is the asus4/F# and asus4/G chords in the beginning. i dont know if i have to bar it or what? right now i look like an idiot cuz i have to wrap my thumb around the neck and play the F# and G. help anyone?

[vikingninja1994]

@NinjaTurkey14 i like to bar it and then use my 3

ed finger for the g. seams the work best for me maybe you can help i cant seem to get the second pair of harmonics right how do you play it

[bigrussthefusss]

@NinjaTurkey14 i dont think that idiotic, its just hendrix style baby!

[paul44miles]

excellent cover of this rush classic. great articulation and mastery on the rytym parts. nicely done.

[kevbelz]

I've watched LOTS of Rush stuff here on youtube. some guys are really talented, yours is the most fun and real I've seen so far.. NICE job.

[joakorush2112]

what a PRS.

[tdmsrockin]

paul reed smith

[BASSPOPS]

Just a note. The 'd'' chord at the 9th fret 2:39, just add your pinky underneath the d chord on the 9th fret instead of going up.

pinky on, pinky off..back to 7th fret d and so on. Hope that helps. Good job!!

[footcandy]

Thanks I'll give it a try.

[sbrave]

@BASSPOPS you are correct! Pretty good MIDI drums, whoever did it

[EvilAL13]

Kick-ass, dude!!

[itsherbie33]

i love playin this song, i just hate playin the harmonics in the beginning

[footcandy]

The harmonics are the best part! :)

[Kumagoro314]

@itsherbie33

That's the easiest and pretty fun part for me ;)

[Acrylicnailzrd0p3]

Well, you've done it. You've made me want to learn guitar again. :)

[EMBOBZ2112]

Amazing, just amazing! You are very talented .. and a great choice of song!

[mariodeadonvoice]

nice job.....i left my geddy singing impression(red barchetta)...hope i do geddy justice..

[JeffTewell]

Wonderfull job man!!  Much props!!

[RushRulesRock]

i want a PRS... i played the trees on one at a music store and it was the most beautiful sounding guitar i have ever played

great playing 5/5

[fly124]

5 stars and a beautiful sounding guitar....great tone!!

[brotheregghead]

Fricken awesome.

[ogle777]

for some reason its sounds to me like he's talking about a robot but a car makes much more sense, thanks man! and great cover

[CheeseAndFog]

Really nice tone. Its slightly different from the original but i like it. Good job for learning it by ear. (i assume thats what you did based on your description.) peace out brotha. keep it real.

[snuffda]

cool

[lejejzerman]

great playing for the whole song except maybe for the solo part (not 100% exactly played in my opinion)

anyway,

GREAT

[footcandy]

That's generally my opinion too.

[pacoolea70]

Hi, great playing. You mentioned that your guitar doesn`t have all stock hardware. What did you put in it?

[footcandy]

The bridge pickup has been changed, and a mini toggle switch added to allow a coil split on that pickup. Unfortunately the neck pickup can't be split, but it sounds perfect just the way it is, so I haven't changed that.

[KenDyerJr]

Will you marry me? ;-) ha ha  I play guitar too and Rush is my fave band of all time, and you do a great job! Bravo!

[footcandy]

Sure.. but only if you are really rich. :)

[lolcat360]

Wow... you're really good.

[MJAussie360]

great job

[hudock]

Nice job man. I bet you're getting a few more hits in your post because of the new movie "I love you man"

[aman2112]

Great cover, where do you those Rush backing tracks to play over? Is it a synthesizer?

[pmsbassplayer]

Pretty damn good!

[KyleRobidoux50]

solo was a little messy at the start, but an awesome cover otherwise

[GuitarzFromMarz]

nice job! rush is a great band!!!!

[Rushworshiper92]

do u use flanger?

[footcandy]

No flanger, but I think I used a light chorus for this one (Boss CH1),

[constantine2112]

Another great cover. Outstanding job.

[snoopanthony]

wow

[fanofthemusic1090]

Beautiful PRS you've got there.

[ziggy72170]

Wow !! weird,, I always thought the beginning was tapped out ,on the fret  board ??

[fanofthemusic1090]

Nope, it's harmonics. Sounds awesome.

[ziggy72170]

OK,, but , can you still make this sound/version, tapped/E.V-style ??????

[fanofthemusic1090]

No. At least, not that I know of. I'd get a second opinion, but I'm pretty sure harmonics is the only way to do it.

[jl7571677]

is that all stock hardware?

[footcandy]

It's not all totally stock what in particular were you wondering about?

[FreemanVDO]

Nice cover again, Lifeson Jr. :-). You seem to be a PRS hollowbody fan right?

[footcandy]

Whatever gave you that idea. :D

[Burksoppa]

Great Cover!

[forkhead]

You do a great job. I play slightly different chord inversions (like the E going into the bridge) but you do a fantastic job. I enjoyed watching you play it slightly different than I would.  Keep hackin at the solo. It's hard.

[Chaseyboeyy]

great cover!!

i love rush!

[feliceyyz]

very, very good-nice tone

[TamaraGeil]

Wow... very nice! I love RUSH too. Saw them live several times, and they sound better than the studio.

WTG on mastering this and thanks for sharing!

[ScalerWave]

Not bad....good tone.  The lead could be a bit tighter though.

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

I remember Alex jumping at a few shows on the R30 tour during this song, crowds went flippin' nuts! nobody plays like LIFESON!!!

[proggah]

Wow, you play this really well, and amazing guitar too

I'm too clumsy to play this.. I've managed to master YYZ, Jacob's Ladder and Limelight. but i really need to get rid of some yucky clumsy and impractical habits (like using all downstrokes on arpeggio chords)

Also my shitty guitar cant seem to do the natural harmonics anywhere near as good as Lifeson's or yours can

[Danphis]

put up some more songs of rush. awesome.

[flybynight26]

your guitar and your guitar playing skills amaze me.

[KingXanadu]

Wow, I really like your playing style. This is one of the best guitar covers of RB I've seen. Beautiful playing, and beautiful guitar.

[RadioCambodia]

thas sooo nice and your guitar OMG iam working my ass off to just buy a CE 22 and u have this beautiful Hollowbody...iam only one step from suicide LOL

nice job dude

[RadioCambodia]

srry, dudette

[footcandy]

Heh.. that's quite alright. :)

[LpPrsGuy]

NICE guitar ;) I bought a 513 ! It´a amazing ! PRS is the best !

[jurepog]

I want your guitar! The exact same colour and all... Only that its lefty, heh. I'd buy that PRS no matter how much... even if I have to starve for the rest of my life...

[prideXangelXcetra]

dude do you know what htat is!?

thats a PRS SEMI HALLOW BODY those fuckers are amazing, great vid btw. and to those admiring the beauty of the PRS guitar believe me looks is onylhalf of it theyre notorical for their doves in flight inlays and their amazing balance in clean and distortion. carlos santana himself plays RPS as does cradle of filth's Paul allender

[footcandy]

Actually, it's not a semi-hollow guitar. It's a full hollow bodied guitar. It's an amazing guitar for sure.

[RBMusic242]

nice guitar skillz man... how do you get it to sound like that in the beggining?

[guitarguy93]

That is a beautiful guitar. I love the fret inlays.

[otherside65]

beautiful, very nice job

[blacksabbath82190]

right on!

[twirlyboggs]

hard work pays off

nice

[NatureMuzic]

Great job !

[Brewer777]

Holy Crap, is that a Gibson Digital?!?

[AlexVincentD]

It says under the info that it is a PRS Hollowbody II

And I understand that both PRS and Gibson are very great guitars to own and play.

[rory5543]

are you dumb?

[pacoolea70]

Great playing

[Zindy2]

Awesome - great timing and no mistakes! How did you do the backup track?

[footcandy]

The backing is just a midi file with the other instruments removed.

[HoCkEyfreak41110]

how do you do that i would like to try it

[nesjuggalo]

Cool.

[Blobblob22]

Sounds great - nice guitar as well

[1brannon10]

kickass dude!!! my fav rush song as well. excellent job and all notes hit perfectly. 5 stars

[fredtheshark]

my all time favorite rush and you were rocked the house. good timing, sound etc... impressive.

[Mykkus]

WHIPASS!!!
