Closer to the Heart, Rush guitar cover

[randyrhoadsliveson]

In the unfortunate event that anything happens to Lerxst...

[seveertrebor]

@randyrhoadsliveson ...yeah, I've had that dream a few times!!!

[97MrSlash]

Great job! :)

[seveertrebor]

@97MrSlash ...thanks v much!

[theskilledguitarist]

I did a decent cover of this in one

of my videos this is good too

[RWynn64]

its crazy joe davolla

[jeligula]

Dude. You need to hit that long A. That was Alex's trademark and is essential to all Rush songs.

[RandyRhoadsFan82]

@jeligula hes not alex lifeson, who cares. this was a great cover regardless

[wavemanmav]

Your clean tone is fantastic. That looks like a Gibson ES-335. What amp and effects are you using on clean part?

[seveertrebor]

@wavemanmav ....thanks, its an Epi Dot, played thru a Flextone III, can't remember the settings as I have updated to a Kettner since i did this.

[Ripperz13]

awesome job. love the clean tone of the intro.

[seveertrebor]

@Ripperz13 ...thanks, appreciate your feedback!

[jacuzzie12]

hey this is great! I was wondering where you got the backing?

[zdeguz]

Great job on the solo

[seveertrebor]

@zdeguz ...cheers!

[EzrinJem2]

U look a little like Dave Gilmour from the side, around :10. Anyone ever say that?

[seveertrebor]

@EzrinJem2 ....mmmm, yes, several times.....I would rather have his hands though!

[wavemanmav]

@EzrinJem2 LOL. I never thought of that until you said it. He really does.

[cyprusfilms]

No one plays guitar like Alex Lifeson, because Al is one of the most underrated, and misunderstood guitar players in the world. just along with my favorite and forever band rush. But you sir play Al's instrument like him which a very rare thing! so Cheers to you! and your success! -Cyprusfilms (Seth)

[seveertrebor]

@cyprusfilms ....hey, thats one hell of a compliment....much appreciated!!

[wavemanmav]

@cyprusfilms I second that.

[GuitarHeroes257]

That tone is amazing :O ,

[seveertrebor]

@GuitarHeroes257 ...thanks, played thru Flextone III.

[zzzz1994able]

pretty good.

[animals29842]

where did you find the chords/tabs?

[seveertrebor]

@animals29842 ...just watching and listening.

[BeelzebossPL]

In half of solo You are a bit out of rythm, but anyway it's EPIC video! Greets from Leaders Of Solar Federation!

[seveertrebor]

@BeelzebossPL ...sure am, but hey! Thanks anyway Leaders of the Solar Federation!

[thejack1212]

Do you know what scale the solo is in

[seveertrebor]

@thejack1212 ...sorry to say i dont know my scales!

[guitarkis49]

great job, I enjoy all your vids!

[seveertrebor]

.....glad to hear you enjoy them.

[rob23223]

those little mistakes are no big deal really, after weird chords like that your hand gets tired,

really good

[seveertrebor]

Thanks....I guess even AL makes the odd mistake.

[Josh17bass]

i wish i was good like you :) you could replace the guitarits if he would get sick for a show ;)

[Hagfan789]

that doesnt sound like no neil peart on the drumms.lol

[seveertrebor]

Yeah... its a digital Neil!

[nascargas]

Fantastic! I like the Epiphone. I have a ringer Washburn Delta King, much like yours (sorry its gone....shame) I really like your attack. You make it seem so effortless. I chew my tounge and hold to tightly to wring out the sounds....guess I should just relax...

Cheers! Love your version!

[seveertrebor]

Thanks v much!,,,as long as your playing thats the main thing.

[trevizons]

Well SEV, it's not the first time I congratulate you, I only wish you could have more camera shooting angles so that we could appreciate even more of your work, your performance and your effort deserve that, please tell a friend or someone near you to shoot two more angles one closer to your left hand and another one to you right hand, so that you can make this world a little bit happier, thanks and congratulations once again !

[seveertrebor]

cheers for that! yeah, I will get round to doing some instructional vids one day. dont even have time for my usual covers at the moment!

[TheMadMax5]

great job! Nice guitar! :) What model is it?

[seveertrebor]

cheers...its an Epi dot.

[arqueiro672]

waw...very good man...^^

have you ever heard that u look like david gilmour? xD

[seveertrebor]

thanks...and yeah, its been commented on a few times.

[hidumboidiot]

beautiful

what guitar is that???

it has a really nice sound

[seveertrebor]

thanks...its an Epi dot, I stupidly sold it a while back, not found one as good since.

[Gladman]

Great job

[seveertrebor]

cheers!

[SystmOfADownsyndrom]

Great cover, enjoyed it very much.

[Myou249]

Very very nice cover. you motivated me to want to learn this song. Ha but what effect are you using throughout the song thats heavy with a bit of phase? you use it towards the very end and finish out the video using it.

[seveertrebor]

Thanks good to hear.....as for the fx, well I have changed my amp since then, so cant tell you the settings, but it was played thru a Flextone III.

[progressivetrail]

Awesome interpretation!!

Nice Guitar!.

[seveertrebor]

thnaks for that

[Twisterpa3]

hmm i have a question

i am a huge rush fans but i am trying to get teh same sound they have with a Sunn studio lead clean amp and i cant really get teh sound moslty because there is no effects but aha

if i did what should i put

[seveertrebor]

no idea mate....never really played about with stomp boxes, i prefer built in fx

[Twisterpa3]

yeah my other amp has that aha

spider III 75 watt not the best but i like it

[StanolaGoW]

You look like Neal Perth playin guitar :)

your covers are amazing!

[seveertrebor]

cheers for that!

[deegirlshopping]

peart not perrth

[trevizons]

Excelent performance Trebor, quite delicate and sublime, has Alex Lifeson written to you. or has he ever been in contact with you, I mean, in order to congratulate you of course, it would be nice for someone that has taken sometime or perhaps a long time of his life to show deep admiration for his composition and legacy ...

[Fretrifters]

you should really do a tutorial for this man cause the stuff on the internet is wrong (the solo at least)

[seveertrebor]

....one day, when I have nothing left to cover!

[TheFlyingZeez]

so smooth i love it

[trapozoidalsyth]

Very good. Can see how the song is actually played.

[francoisseguin]

number one

[Dilanadu]

i don't think I'll ever understand how Lifeson can write such amazing guitar music lol.

[seveertrebor]

yeah i know...its only when you start trying to cover this stuff you really begin to appreciate the skill of song writing.

[Dilanadu]

Yeah I've been playing guitar for a little under a year now and this is pretty much the only Rush song I can play fluently lol. His style is really unique and he uses weird chords a LOT lol.

[Elliotcapper]

no singing?

[oilersandguitars]

you play it so smoothly

[seveertrebor]

cheers

[fabioproductions]

as long as you love rush there is no wrong in this sick cover

[ElectricClown1]

Awesome cover. I learned the solo by watching you over and over

[seveertrebor]

...good stuff, thats what there here for.

[tefik10]

what type guitar pro is this?

[teddi5]

Now I am stuck after being glued- the this epi would do well tonality for ByTor, Losin it, Different Strings the last two Rush have never played Live. With yoursetup and talent you could be the first.

Godsmacked AGAIN-!!

[seveertrebor]

....well i am working my way through them slowly. I have done an acoustic version of diff strings.

[Yantz11]

dude, please, im begging PLEASE give me the tabs for this, ive found it but i need the solo the right way...everything ive found is totally wrong and doesnt sound right. i wanna know how you do it soo bad!! PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU!!!!

[seveertrebor]

...i'm terible at tabbing, it would take me all day, which part are you struggling with??

[superoli17]

Well done fella

[elconquistidor1991]

You make it seem so easy but I appreciate the level of effort you put into this!

[seveertrebor]

cheers for that...yeah, i think some people who comments just think it happens!!

[CodyMaxwell1]

[Docca3]

[seveertrebor]

cheers...yeah, it took me a while..dont know why its just a simple run up

[snowdoguk]

One of the better covers of this song, that I've seen. Nice one.

[dugudall230]

I love this guitar!!!!!

[seveertrebor]

yeah....i wish i never sold it now!!! doh!! bought a Gibson LP and hated it!!

[texasguitarist94]

You hated a GIBSON Les Paul?? You like a Dot over a LP!?

[blackborealis]

LPs have lost their quality over the years.

[jmsazboy]

God this guy is a dead ringer!!

You must work as a set musician to play that well.

[seveertrebor]

....no, just an amatuer, probably too much time on my hands!

[shue3303]

You got a nice tone there and great drum machine track!

[seveertrebor]

...yeah, backing track is Pro Guitar

[MacGasco]

is that guitar pro in the background or another type of program?

[seveertrebor]

yes it GP

[AlDarko]

Nice man.....nice 5 stars

[starcraftshit]

wow dude... you are superb

[CharNick7164]

[seveertrebor]

cheers

[texasheatwave93]

for all you lazy people who dont feel like tuning your guitar, THIS IS WHAT A PERFECTLY INTONNATED GUITAR SHOULD SOUND LIKE!

[seveertrebor]

....and it doesn't take long and costs nothing!

[rockpaurock]

exelent

[david19671]

total respect man. beautifully played. musically rush mean everything to me...lots of teenage memories (am the big 40 now). good to see decent guys like you putting good quality stuff up like this. thank you again

[seveertrebor]

[ZZZZ7HUIX]

[seveertrebor]

thanks, tone for solo not right, but hey!

[foxrder]

Too bad you dont live in Texas because if you did we would have to jam, i sing and have been playing the keyboard for 5 yrs. and love rush such as all 80's rock bands. I like all of your other songs there great, finnaly someone who can play it right. 5*

[seveertrebor]

Top drawer...do you suss the solos out by watching the DVD's / videos or from the tracks themselves...??

[seveertrebor]

Combination, live footage, tabs, ear...! Live footage is best, as you can see what the hell he's up to!

[bishopk99]

You make this song look so easy...and it is not!

Great job!

[seveertrebor]

[drummguy09]

are all those effects processed on your computer? thats what it sounds like (not criticizing, im just curious). 5 stars, that must have taken quite some time to set all that up.

[seveertrebor]

...no these midi tabs are played through Pro Guitar 5. Pick them up from 911 tabs.

[flaviotamaki]

Very good, Rush is such emotional music, is fun play those songs.

[patman2112]

This is my favorite that you do!

[seveertrebor]

Thanks...ramped up the distortion bit too far!

[RushLSPark]

5 stars man

[seveertrebor]

[wareagle06]

good job im still learning the solo on this song, the end part is being a pain to me lol

[acousticaddic]

Good intro, I got tabs of it but its not as real from Alex's intro as yours. Can you give me the short intro part ?
