[cdbeckm]

You bastard! That just made me realize that I have such a long way to go. Great job, I loved it....any chance you were lip-syncing the bass lines?

[CallMePoppaSmurf]

Is that bass a Jay Turser?

[bmay1000]

Geddy Lee would be proud of you

[therockstarsband]

OUTSTANDING my friend. All Up In There!

[MuriloUK]

One day I'll learn to play this song.. Awesome cover btw! My face literally melted..!

[Octagonapuz]

at 2:51 i decided to quit attempting to play bass because ill never be as good as rush zappa, let alone geddy lee. lol im kidding, but damn that was awesome

[deathscreton]

This is a SX Ursa 2 correct?

[RetardedxVideo]

why is 2:55 so epic for people? i found that part boring, i love the rest though. Well done.

[Metall4llife]

[MrPotatoDooM]

[ggs18]

[jscabrera2]

Awesome bass cover.. Best i've seen so far

[elinkz]

so amazing i wanna cry

[DDaniek]

Wow you are a great bassist!!! Amazing Cover!!!

[MyMusicsLikeADrug]

@DDaniek The sad thing is i think i read on another of his vids that he is primarily a drummer, puts the rest of us to shame.

[VIKES931]

Are you sure this is not Geddy? Onlly weakness I can see is that Geddy would not have had to warm up his hand - lol. Awesome!!

[faller1990]

Which effect is used? Overdrive?

}

[LnLGame]

You made me get a guitar. bastard.

[Beginnerbassman]

can you please post a lesson on how to play the main part that starts at 38 seconds. this is the most amazing bass guitar playing i have ever seen! really good job. Did you learn this by ear? if not where did you get the tab?

[xCrAv3Nx]

im the 1337 thumbs up, woooo!

[sthxdnn1]

puts my cover to shame :'(

[KhuFuSK]

AND THEN THE OUTRO :O

[KhuFuSK]

2:50 Caught me completely off guard! All together (Including the amazing diddly I mentioned) I the greatest bass cover of anything I've ever heard.

[gleventhal]

You're a bad man...

[Francesco95able]

2:51 Oh my god!

[hwx11]

[InfinityEnterprises]

@gillyop52 we guitarists like to think that bass is always so much easier...well that is certainly not always the case...

[Akalamiammiam51]

damn...awesome man

[followtheian]

u nailed it... perfect...

[mykittyaslut]

can't imagine how long that took to learn xD

Nice one

[AmbellinaWatchOverMe]

I just realized how easy it is to play guitar.

[Maidenfanatic]

@AmbellinaWatchOverMe I know what you mean, I just learned this song on guitar in 1 day. The bass is just ridiculously hard

[pheralphish]

my friend just ordered his bass, he wants to learn this so bad, i dont think its gonna happen

[packerfanbd1995]

how long did it take you to learn it???

[lntentionz]

WOW!!!

[Doady1337]

Superb cover, absolutely nailed it!

Inspiring.

[oldestgamer]

[douchecock427]

[rhoads89]

This is just pure awesomeness !!!!!! Perfect Cover.

[SlugMenace]

@Pawnjaa Never give up my friend!

[itsAllGoneMikeyWong]

[evilonekenobi]

[evilonekenobi]

[seanter1994]

he could easily replace geddy :)

[slpplexi1969]

@seanter1994 No one can replace Geddy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dcolofoxx]

is it wrong if this gave me a boner? O:

[macfint]

Bro, I am fully aroused right now from that.

[wilddcoyote]

very impressive!

[theshabbs1]

Maybe even a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass? What are you using to get your sound? Awesome.

[ivanmac89]

ar 2:55 I screamed at my computer screen

[Deathstar1027]

@ivanmac89 HOly fuck YES!!!! EPIC!!!

[TheBayonet666]

what is this bass he is using?

[Deathstar1027]

@TheBayonet666 its a Jazz bass, Most likely a Fender.

[benbass91]

@Deathstar1027 yeah, probably a mexican.

[LobsTV]

@TheBayonet666 its a fender jazz bass american standart, or not

[007rmk000]

23 people dont know who rush is

[jdc6927]

you make that look easy. I know that is very tricky. Shove that up your ass to any one that walks around saying bass players a failed guitarist and the are no good bass players

[ejl1000]

...and I thought Steve Harris was amazing!

[Sreven199]

Geddy lee is my hero!!! I so want to learn how to play this song!!!!!!!!

[HaydenBayden6]

im getting arthritis just watching this

[imacrazypyromaniac]

@scottyEdbanger probably not, because he's not a fag

[siklilmonkee]

wow great job love that tone oh so nasty

[maciasmarth]

hhnhnhunn,,,,,,,g,gbmjcdwse

[Thornleyfan4ever]

amazing, ive been playing for 9 months and contemplating lessons because i want to expand my playing ability to more interesting pieces, my favourite songs to play are tell me baby-rhcp, hysteria-muse and unnatural selection-muse, those are some of the more difficult songs i know, if you have any suggestions i would gladly hear them :) though 4 bones in my right hand are broken right now so ive had to put a hold on my learning of hump de bump-rhcp :(

[HeyItsCoop]

What chord do you play in the intro before you play the song/ it sounds really cool!!! Awesome job man. Please check out my bass covers on my channel. I'd really appreciate it.

[DeltaGaryGordon]

@HeyItsCoop Looks like a Bb major 7

[HeyItsCoop]

@DeltaGaryGordon Thank you.

[6point1man]

And nice lick at the end too!

[6point1man]

I just came in my pants.

[TTAMSbass]

23 people are really jealous that they can't play bass like this dude.  I have completely accepted it.

[a7xMadx]

I switched to bass...

[SchecterGuitar689]

Did u add a bit distortion? It sounds awesome!!! A bit close to Geddy's sound on the original YYZ :)

[RockBassist52]

Wow....flawless



[lancetop]

Too fantastic to listen to just once. I listened three times. WOWEE!

[bassistsdoitdeeper]

mind = blown

[jamiejujamie]

The cross hand tapping was amazing!

[123wickedsweet]

I think my brain just exploded.

[Decharnok]

YOU ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OCKS WAAAAAAAAAH , Fucking Oo !

[estupidoman]

wow!

[tdot2895]

i've only learned up to the first verse... my hand hurts XD

[FreddieEggwing]

@tdot2895 Haha, I just reached the same conclusion about myself. :P "Alright, first verse and my hands hurt..." :P

[tetsusixx]

can u send me tabs for the tapping? it was neat

[mabbaticchio]

My hands hurt just watching! Nice work.

[Gillyop52]

22 People are jealous lead guitarists.

[galeo2823]

@Gillyop52 jajajajajaja you`re right jajajajaja BASS RULES!!

[SijsbRattlehead333]

JUST AMAZING!! Keep Rocking dude!

[TimKilcrease]

Well done! Geddy would probably be proud...maybe a little threatened ;^)

[Galucucu]

fuck!!

[lenzer9]

you rock dude!

[Crabsdonthum]

Whoo-hoo!!! Excellent!

Love the part in the middle where you do the synth impression. Awesome!

[matteliano454]

Awesome ! Thanks for showing me how much I suck at playing bass !

[johnny5234]

Evey bass player covers this song, but not one of them will break it down for us and teach is how to play it. That should be your next video! Your a great player by the way, you killed it.

[IronFabianSteel]

u badass



[Bassballs5]

Ever learn a tricky song when it was new...? (in this case around 25 years ago) Then come back and revisit it, (in this case around 25 years later) and find out you learned it all wrong...? Everything close. Other bass players all thought I had it all right, but you've certainly got it perfect, can't argue that...  Good job my friend...

[tetsusixx]

nice tone, may i know how you got ur overdrive sound? thanks

[kaboose1994]

I should just stop plying bass

[benbass91]

@kaboose1994 Just keep practicing :)



[PotatoDonki]

@kaboose1994 1 ply or 2 ply?

[kaboose1994]

@PotatoDonki :P haha 

[beerandpluggers]

EVERYTHING IS A FUCKIN LINK, CANT PUT MY MOUSE ANYWHERE WIHTOUT SOME FUCKIN ANNOYING SHIT POPPING UP !!!!!

[AugustLightsMusic]

Fucking perfection.

[carsick1]

dude, awesome!

[TacoYYZ]

YES! I'M COMMENT #1000 FOR THIS VIDEO!

[Danman2623]

What bass are you playing on?

[bigchill123a]

2:50 You jelly? lol

[Judas15carpediem]

Too fast dude. Really awesom.

[JeffWaltonsDrumsL]

Solid, very well played! Thumbs up bro!

[smackbunny]

Pretenders can step aside.

This is the real deal.

[Xezium]

May I have your right hand?

[Pierreax59]

@Xezium Which means... either you wanna marry him or jack off. You are a disgusting person, I'm telling you.

[Xezium]

@Pierreax59 are you retarded or something? First off all wedding rings go on left hands, I asked for his right, seocondly, I want his hand so that I can play like this.

Either ridiculously stupid or horribad troll

[Pierreax59]

@Xezium Relax dude. First, I should say that I am not a professional of wedding, didn't know about the left hand stuff. Thanks for sharing knowledge man. And I knew what you meant. My only purpose with this comment was to be funny. Don't forget your sense of humor. Wanker. (joking)

[supernovachaser]

@Pierreax59 What if he was a homosexual fucking homophobic queer?

[Pierreax59]

@supernovachaser Well, the only reasonable thing to do is going to the UK and smoke a fag.

[Cohemotgus]

@Pierreax59 though i must say that i am against what you are saying, that was funny

[Pierreax59]

@Cohemotgus Thanks my dear, but you're against what ?

[TheBassman5000]

yo dude sick cover mind giving nme the tabs?

[jazzboy621]

Briliant!!!! Well done, Bro!!

[rsbudbassit]

What are you using to record video and audio?

[rsbudbassit]

Dang it! I knew the day would come for me when i had to cover this Epicness of a song.. but you sir i belive have killed it for me.. VERY nicely done.

[cf8313]

2:50 - 2:54 <3

[lfgalbraith]

Amazing job!!!!!

[JeffWaltonsDrumsL]

Very Nice! Impressed Drummer here who loves his Counterpart, "The Bass." Thumb's-up Man and I don't usually do that unless I am Impressed.

[Jeffsafe]

Awsome job ... I've been playing the bass since 16, Im now 49. and am truely impressed. I used to sit in my room as a teenage and learn all of those Rush songs, playing the recording on my turn table over and over trying to pick up every note but inevitably would fall short of a few. Great job.

[Jeffsafe]

Awsome job ... I've been playing the bass since 16. Im now 49 and am truely impressed.

[tbcass]

I've been playing Bass almost 40 years and very few bass players impress me but I have to say you certainly killed this one. I like the what you did just after 2:50 where you played the guitar part on bass. This song is a real workout for any bass player. It's a very complex song as well. How long did it take you to learn it? I've picked out the best parts and learned them but I'm too lazy to learn the whole thing note for note.

[TinhoDrummer]

Grande musico.. muito bom, muito bom mesmo !

[CanUlie]

Welcome to my fav's :)

[Andragon90]

Can't believe it, but it's JUST as good as Geddy's godly performances. Damn.

[guitvai2]

INSANE!!! - Awesome job.

[iplaybasswhore]

that was amazing! nice job! :D

[aff007vj]

Amazing cover! Respect. What guitar is this?

[MercyMusic905]

love your added chord work 

[HeyItsCoop]

[UhMysteryGuest]

@HeyItsCoop It's a Jazz Bass

[HeyItsCoop]

@UhMysteryGuest

Nice thanks for telling me. It has an AWESOME tone!

[grosblyth]

[Peart71]

The best YYZ amateur on youtube congratulations!!!

[tobinator1317]

You need a fucking timeout, you raped that shit too hard haha

[piggy978]

[TheArmeggadon]

[acebass409]

[qwertycommunicator]

[kaboose1994]

I love you

[joshbottt]

thanks for uploading this, ive been wanting to suggest this song for my cover band an i figured out a lot of it on my own, but its really hard to find trustworthy tab, especially for a song like this, an seeing it done from start to finish helps a lot

[popitinurma]

Freakin' awesome man, especially at 2:48 nailed it!

[playdrums]

damn so fuckin GOOD! i like how somehow you're able to make a fretted bass sound fretless. sick man. youre a sick man lol. awesome.

[Buddha117]

Mental. Absolutely mental haha

[Orion48910]

Wow !!! You Are Great In Bass Yeah...

[theolevy]

my headphone is giving me an orgasm

[AlexBurtonFilms]

pure win. i am impressed my fellow bassist/

[CrankUpTheAmps]

This sounds so great!

[WelshPhantom]

This really is very good! Nice one.

This is the vid that inspired me to learn this song, which I finally got around to uploading on the weekend. I seem to play it slightly differently to you in parts though.

Great job mate!

[Jakeman72293]

Fuckin A

[ifoundnemo23]

dude whered u find an instrumental version of this song?

[Zeon707]

@ifoundnemo23 Either you're trolling, or you're stupid. That IS the song.

[spookman117]

@ifoundnemo23 its not hard to find considering its an instrumental song

[zunevsipod1]

@ifoundnemo23 you best be trollin'.

[spartan876]

@ifoundnemo23 Wow.

Also, fuck you are good.

[Sixhotstrings]

Awesome beyond words!

[Slilman]

2:50-2:54 most amazing playing ive ever seen on bass!!

[Equipe3v]

Who the fuck dislikes this shit? It's the best cover on the net!

[Grimmbo609]

nice man.and hes playing it on 4 string,lee usually uses the 6

[ifoundthiscamera]

@Grimmbo609 since when did geddy ever use a 6?

[fepede]

@Grimmbo609 I don't think so: geddy had always used a 4 string (don't know in the last years but surely at the YYZ times he did)

[Guitardude971]

i didnt know Geddy Lee had a youtube channel :P
