Guitar - YYZ by Rush

[TheSoulanumBand]

dude!? is that th same year as randys?

[BullRatt]

Yep, thats about as good as it gets

[gorto27]

A sweet gibson!

[BestMattBeast]

In your opinion which song do you think would be harder to learn YYZ or spirit of radio?

[DoubleAwesomeMusic]

I LOVE YOUR GUITAR!

[97Wanne]

19 people are just jealous :)

[hosselbrigade]

you're supposed to put your fingers on the outer right of the little bars on your guitar neck. makes your nice little song sound much nicer.

[hahaurgay77]

amzing cover now i cant wait tol august their playing the entire moving pictures album and alot more

[TheHuMoCa]

wut model LP u usin?

[rmw7995]

nice cover i just recently learned this song cant play it as good as u yet but im working on it

[RangRing68]

Well done my friend and that LP is beautifil!

[Jimihendrix6699]

awesome

[LazerRazor7]

great job , alex would be proud

[chrispwns123456789]

how old is ur guitar? because i like the creamy colour that it has and ive heard that gibson les paul customs start to turn more to that colour with age

[itachi46]

nah theres a creme paint colour..

[chase5100]

amazing cover congrats on lossing weight and getting eyes fixed.

[UkissMe1st]

killer dude, but, whats up with the cut at the 2:22 mark?

[Rockband95]

I seriously dont mean this in a bad way but why are "big" people and old ppl amazing at guitar

[Greenie007]

Old people is due to experience and continued practice I would say, but I've lost 35 lbs since I filmed this. It's really not about weight. People get fat, people get skinny. I don't know any heavy set guitar players personally. LOL No offense taken- you have a valid observation.

[TheVanillaSpice]

true. this kicks ass though

[TrooperEddey]

also i never see any super buff guys playing guitar

[Knuxus]

you never saw yngwie?

[itstristanyo]

John Petrucci

[Gromper69]

@Rockband95 cause theyre not active so they resort to elongated periods of sitting and playing guitar. Thats my thought.

[xbeautifulxliex123]

sweet

[dpg117]

This is the way YYZ should be played, with a gibson :D

[drakonimetal]

Beautiful guitar!

[babyrapor]

A little sloppy, but this song is fairly difficult, lots of changes. Your trills and harmonics are amazing, but you seem to get slightly off when palm muting for some reason. And your addition of vibrato to every little thing doesn't really seem to add much other than to make it seem like you're just showing off. Still, pretty good.

[thatonething]

solo was cool

[snoopanthony]

you make rock gods proud

[LosTroopos]

Well done. Not your best work, but a solo by Alex Lifeson is very diffucult, because he has so much technique and also emotion in it and you simply can't copy his sound. But still very good effort.

[jeffhardyrulez101]

Wow dude Resume playing with your awesome mightyness.

[alienwareufo]

Good job man

[beyondballistic]

Guitar hero posers, eat your heart out. That was awesome!

[stevieray340]

Dude, you are correct.. you are a bigger RUSH fan than I. GREAT job on the vid's. Next time I see you at Donna's, I owe you a beer.

[GZPRODUCTIONS9]

wow your a god!

[cristianlogia]

exelent!!

[vanhalen3399]

you need to learn van halen. nice cover tho

[guitarmastergod]

wow....you sound exactly like alex lifeson

[desertrebels]

shit your good!!!!!!

amazing playing

[Dust1n1268]

your solo was nice. :)

[christian1122]

wow, i love how you did your guitar solo

[canuck389]

You picked too much during the last section of the solo. That section is supposed to be straight legato. Same can be said for some other parts of the solo. Still sounds sick tho nice job.

[sexpistol92]

sei un grande con la chitarra!

[paz2001]

i love this vid

you played great!!

[WudUp28]

uh mazin!

[19cody92]

THAT WAS SICK YOU MUST GET ALOT OF POON

[canucks7777]

ahaha lol

[mario909876]

LOL

[chemicalxtasy]

Dude that was awesome i have been trying to find a good way to play this song and i can't could you send me the tablature to that thanks man and keep on rocking

[dannyboy785]

do you even know what the internet is? There are tons of tabs on the net. GOOGLE MOTHERFUCKER

[WudUp28]

dude fuck u. u probably cant even play. i just saw ur shitty videos. dont go tellin other people shit before u go talkin shit about other ppls vids

[dannyboy785]

hey wudup28, you retard. I wasnt talking shit. My comment was directed to chemicalxtasy bc he was asking this guy on youtube for tabs when he could easily go to fucking google and search for them. I'm thinking something like "yyz tabs". Hmmm how difficult.

[Spazzzy4]

u rock dude

[RockGod276]

Wow DUDE I REALY WANA PLAY DIS SONG NOW!!!!!!!!!

[Ponymastr]

u have a great style and u dont copy lifeson

[rajtherat]

real nice cover of this song man. Ive never seen anyone use their pinky for the riff at 3:45 tho.  Good anyways 5 stars

[imbaguitar]

really good, 5 stars. the part b4 the solo sounded like you added some cool stuff on the higher strings (dunno tho i haven't heard yyz for a while). ur pinky is pretty good too, seems like most ppl trill with ring more than pinky

[JoeGuitarGuy]

your vibrato's are amazing

[pyrodious]

Sick dude very clean

[Aferath]

=O! marako rql a mi no me sale bien aun esa cancion xD!! tokai la raja

[colbyman12]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME

[muttiplay]

[Ponymastr]

mr.lifeson would be proud

[caresa1967]

awsome dude cool you rock

[ltamy]

[shipooooooopi]

your vibrato is to fast it doesnt give time for the pickups to catch it very well :)

[SPARTAN4536]

niiice

[lchialisa]

well done.

[cuack2345]

o_O  o my fucking god

[Neptune737]

ok ok, nice job

[sparky0083]

freakin sweet playing... lol

[collegeparkrun]

you own i think its better than the orig. the way you pick on the B bars that sounds sick im tryin to learn this song.

[EmoKiddiexD]

tht was BEAUTIFUL!!!

[jebusxxl]

love the video, i have to say i love the way u play this, really effective and works very well, keep it up =D

[mth98]

nice job

[cheesecrumpit]

Wow nice job.

[dylcskateguitar]

AWESOME DUDE

[abyz3]

Great Guitar work man, that was really good

YYZ is great song and so amazing.. grat job gettin the fingerin on the guitar :)

[bombardier9999]

Yeah, really good, im guessing you've played guitar for a loooong time. I'v been playin, maybe 5, 6 years, got a gibson sg currently, im going to TRY to learn this song, not going to give up, becuase im doing it for the girl i love <33333

[bucefalop]

You Rock !!! Great Job Man !

[undergroundrock5]

great man

[JuJuBeJimbob]

omg he makes a few mistakess so you know that hes not faking and do you know how hard that song is

i cant even play on guitar hero

[ackbar171782]

Genius. Just amazing.

[1fluovr]

For all of those that are so negative. I mean making comments about the guy's age and what is going on in the background. What is the point? can you not appreciate the mans playing. I mean the guy has spent countless hours working on his playing and has some skill so give him some respect., say nice job and move on.

[s0cc3rb0i]

well, no its actually more for kids, my parents dont get on it and neither do any of my friends parents, but my friends do, so therefore, it is more for kids

[Greenie007]

If you say so, friend.

[fireadept007]

dont listen to him dude my parents are older than you and they have one and so do some of thier friends, and you rock on guitar you gotta teach me how to play so much like Lifeson!

[lp4711]

@s0cc3rb0i your a tard all sites are mostly fore adults cause you have to be 18 on most sites

[justalittlepinprick]

its good but maybe if you tried to move your fret hand more fluently instead of just like jerkiing it around like your a robot.

[s0cc3rb0i]

wow, dude, how long have u been playin? and its kinda weird u got a myspace cause u look like ur sumwhere around 39

[Greenie007]

I'm not that old, dude. And why is it hard to believe someone at 39 would have a myspace page? It's more for adults than kids.

[ahirugirl]

myspace is not just for kids... I know soooooo many adults who use it. Its just another site. Now neopets, thats for kids... and this guy looks maybe 29-32

[Crypt0nite88]

Its his glasses that make him look old(no offence i wear glasses to)but other than that id say around 25.

[jsimon222]

i dont thik its a great thing, you got many mistakes

[x757LoTuS]

wow man ur my new hero

[FireDude00]

....WOW...COOL!!!!

[nicovaras22]

Incredible!!

check mine please and rate it =)

watch?v=RtDZaE4gmPw

5 stars

[lespaulplayer1111]

holy fuck thats was fuckin crazy nice les paul

[russmaster27]

that was crazy...dont stop dude your awesome!!!!!

[bombardier9999]

Yeah, kinda makes me wonder, if the almost 1000 hours that went into Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, were put to play guitar... Well, im pretty sure i would be a much better play than i am now, but on the other hand, raping n00bs and getting them to call you a hacker feels pretty good lol...

[bombardier9999]

Dude, shit, ur FKN amazing, i hope to be as good as you when i get to be about ur age...

[Rymo18]

Holy crap! Thats was amazing. I would give anything to play that.

[Fullmetalmoose92]

great job on this awesome song man, its insane

[reyacou]

just wanna say, you did a very good job, and in the process helped me out, because I'm currently learning this song ^__^ Thanks!

[tdskates]

for the lick after right after the intro try more hammerons and pull offs it would sound cleaner

[guitarmainiac06]

you were speeding up in the beginning part but other than that awesome

[freddyo]

better than the original :D

[cjschemm91]

cool stuff

[jperro1]

Nice work!

[hendrixistheking]

Hey! what gear do you use besides that les paul?

[mamaskidmark]

that was awesome could someone tell me a good some for a intermediate player to learn

[hendrixistheking]

there are millions....this song would be a good one.

[mike2551]

nice job and wicked guitar

[GordonBaxtergtrman]

Kinda gay. Check my version. Peace.

[thematiasandsome]

forget about gordon baxterhomo. he's a faggot, he never plays the songs write or the whole song. pretty kick ass job dude, i like the guitar.

[Stratosteven]

the part from 0:42- 1:10 is too scratchy... other than that great

[mandrilltheape]

kickass job!!!!!!!!!

[fishfan67]

greenie great buddy alex never got the respect he deserved. you made that look easy and it's far from that. very impressive. what year is your paul?

[Greenie007]

It's a 1972 20th Anniversary Les Paul. Thanks for the support! Rock on!

[cairnsy87]

ok i didnt no u were playing the song in the background kk

[marijoem2010]

im surprised you arent famous.

lol, this is really good.

[widdowmaker94]

nice job u kick ass!

[cairnsy87]

ya 143 music is playing but ur not strumming

[Greenie007]

At 1:43 I stop strumming because that's the bass solo. The guitar does not play there.

[mememe7750]

at 1 43 ur not playing but music is going

[FuturamaGuy]

Are you mentally retarded?

[mememe7750]

the tv is on behind u wats that

[sonnymooreisrad]

not bad i gues...use diff. effects....like...a chorus pedal...and a little reverb and delay...i use it..and it sound perfect...u have a great guitar

[Greenie007]

Thanks. I use a light chorus, but reverb and delay don't belong on this song. :)

[Malfunction69]

I didnt like the vibrato

Mark

[MaplestrySucks]

nice but in 2:32 u use a power chord on the 10th fret

[HarmonicMinorJ]

I can tell you didnt use the bogus tab haha. Looks like your playing it the RIGHT way. No pointless position shifts!!

Nicely done!

[sharky97]

i can hear guitar hero 2 in the backround being played

[coolio436]

zomg

[kmish213]

its not guitar hero.its the original version

[homestar67]

it's called a cd track for the bass and drums part genius. look into it.

[lambosk8ter]

dude ur mad good i give u credit

[Spazick000]

Awesomely played man

[ahvaimusicom]

that fricken rocks!! excellent job, i did like the vibrato

[Filip1422]

I think you can't use the bridge pickup on some parts to get better more original tone. I can tell you know this song like the back of you hand though.

[aussiguitarplayer565]

whered u get the tab?

[Greenie007]

Didn't use tab. Learned it by ear.

[kevinrulz86]

wow that was great

[ItachiUchiha21]

What was with that vibrato in the intro?

[Greenie007]

Everybody has been very critical of my vibrato on this song. Granted, most don't like it, but I've heard Alex do this on certain live bootlegs and just adapted it. When it comes to RUSH some people get ultra critical and expect perfection and note for note replays. Sorry, I'm not perfect- I just like to add on things to flavor it up.

[ItachiUchiha21]

As you probably got from my comment, I didn't much like the vibrato myself, but it's good that you aren't trying to blatantly imitate Alex. I hate when people try to mimic others.

[mcekul]

nice

[SchizoidMind]

nice, but I dont like yout vibrato 8(

[Fretfeeler]

One of the better attempts on Youtube at this song but I agree with the vibrato statement.

[Fretfeeler]

Good job! One of the better versions of YYZ I've heard.

The rhythm is pretty tough, I have a version of this song up as well.

[HelloFromTheGutter]

One of the most difficult Rush songs to play (on guitar). You took it in more than one take, tho, but whatever, good cover. I'm working on the song now, too, gunna have my version up sometime this week.

[thegoodguyy]

Dude... teach me!!

You gotta make a tutorial on how to play it, coz the tabs that I have found are all shit and you make it sound almost perfect!

PLEASE!! YOU GOTTA!!! :D

[jtrocks1356]

where did u get that tab? can u send me a link or the tab? great playing

[lilschreef84]

you sure your not a creator of gh2

[TooNiE55]

Sick dude.. thats all i can say

I can play it on guitar almost up to perfect speed and part of the solo. But you are awesome.

Keep it up

[lolmanuber2]

damn....

[LJRO]

Man, you are a great guitarist. You NAILED the solo which I hardly ever see on YYZ guitar covers on YouTube.  Good jorb.

[christianptrsn]

lol all the people that play Guitar Hero are all like "I can do way better!" and "Where's his whammy bar?"

[machaeroguy]

Wicked!

[1TySoNx1]

i can play that song but not that good

[thegoodguyy]

BLOODY HELL!!

Im subscribing!

YOU ROCK!!!!

[DrummerMatt92]

wow! very very goood

[montomaniac]

Yeah!!! Rush is a band that is so difficult to copy. YOU ROCK! Love the AXE too! Gibson is the way to go!!

[evh5150316]

Nice Job. Amazing Tone!

[snapascrew]

i gave u 4 stars, i think if u played this song like 5 split seconds slower (very little) u would be perfect

[rigamahdodahmadah]

you have a beautiful vibrato. It really makes it quiver.

[cursedreject]

dam nice cover. and nice guitar.

[asabea]

a little squeeky at the beggining but excellent over all

[SystemAttack]

You rule man!

[map69]

hey man im sure he culd play better than u

[fireadept007]

One of the best YYZ videos i've seen. Bravo.

[DickLodge68]

Hey there - good cover as usual. Ever try the pinch/pick harmonic part on the 3rd string instead? I think it's far better. I think you will find it's better too.

Dammit u are the best =) =)
