This is some epic tone, Fingers. I've been listening to you since Six Strings of Fury came out. O_O And I agree with bigfoot906: This sounds surefire Rush. Are you influenced by them a bit?
You sound like Rush more than anything else any one has ever said, esp more than Primus. Maybe people are just picking up on les's influence from Geddy himself. People say adding a guitar would ruin fingersmoran, but taht's rubbish. i think if you had someone with chops like lifeson, it could be amazing
Not so much. Bass can always serve dual function as rhythm if the guitar is playing lead. MOst B-D-G trios sound a little thin anyway when the guitarist is playing lead. As long as the guitarist knew how to kick back and not take over the song, it would be cool, and the bass would still shine. They do have a vid posted where they are playing with a guitarist. It's up to the men themselves, i support their band in any incarnation
Sure, the bass doesn't have to just hump a note for five minutes, but I don't think there's any need for three-note bass chords when you have a guitarist, since the guitar sounds better with the chords. The bass can still really groove without chords. In fact, it might be able to groove more, and add more depth to the song.
This is coming from a bassist, too, so don't think I believe in the guitar taking over a song.
my point was that it depends on the person playing the guitar, more than their just being one present. I'm a bassist too, but i don't understand your last line.
that's chill, i was just a little confused as to what exactly you meant. (and maybe about the proper usage of There and Their). My favorite thing about bass is the power it has to blend into the background and then raise up and take control when it wants; then sink back into the mix
I'm a bassist too, just so you know where I'm coming from.
I agree with you that you need to draw the line between the two instruments, but look at the band Rush; Lifeson plays his rhythmic chords while Geddy plays his melodic basslines, which is what could be considered normal for them. But, when it is time for a guitar solo, especially on their newer albums, Geddy will play rhythm chords while Lifeson solos on a melody, and I think that is because they are a 3 man act.
amazing song pure genious. but doesn any1 have the intro tapped? i have the whole song tapped basically except that first riff. if some1 can tab it for me it would be great.
then what do you mean with tapped? and czarmesmerize said "if some1 can tab it for me..." then it means he might had it tabbed, but what do you mean with tapped?
thats true, buy their stuff man, i've been buying and practice his songs since two years ago frome the very first day i heard phat duck on my speakers, and show some respect that you can talk to such an awesome musician like shawn moran himself, talking to him and receiving and answer is one of the greatest things that have ever happened to me, i mean his music is great and so is this guy
this piece is great! its got a huge amount of influence from rush it seems, the tone is a lot like geddy lees as well. the drummer is really good too man. the two of you make a great duo, really tight ;)
Great to see Rory! Great drumming man. I have to admit I was skeptical until you hit the interlude... that was amazing. Gave me goosebumps man. Looking forward to more songs, and more Rory!
bad fucking ass

I think if they added a guitar, there would have to be less Bass chordage, which I think would be fine.

I was just making sure you didn't think I was a prickish guitar that swoops in and says, "O NO U BASIST PLAY G FOR 20 MINUTES."
You have a point. I may be talking as if everyone plays like me. I concede.
