[weird519]

[mindaugas496]

Oh my god... Accoustic solo sound much better than electric guitars. Also great vid!

[CristianReyesM]

[benebenicio]

Brilliant!!!!Great job.

Great cover for the greatest band of all time.

[justkevy]

You. Sure can't teach!

[CannibalKlok666]

i though the intro was so much more complicated than that

[danisphree]

oh c-mon alex, you cant fool me! i know you are really alex lifeson!! lol awesum job dude! whoever you are!

[CunananBanana]

It looks like 3 people missed the like button.

[CapnTac]

Holy crap, sounds just like it! Nice work!

[Toxictension]

Now the trees are all kept equal...by hatchet, axe, and saw!

[cdokinawa]

Very nice

[frets4life17]

That's some very smooth playing. You know this song very well.

=]

[AlesandroMoon]

Still cool blobbob22

[SlickPick21]

This is amazing. I thought I was pretty decent at the guitar until I started watching these types of videos and realized I have a lot of work to do. Thanks for the inspiration.

[SERGEWOOD]

Man, i've been listen you by 1 year, and always that i see you, i learn a little more. Thanks!

A hug!

[dragonfoe]

Is that an ovation?

[Blobblob22]

It's an acoustic made by Takeraru.

[AlesandroMoon]

yeah how long did it take to learn and hhow did you learn?

[oso925]

this amazing and how long di it took u to learn this whole song??????????? im really curious to know

[AlesandroMoon]

Do you play tthis with your fingers or a pick?

[Blobblob22]

Fingers, I never use a pick

[AlesandroMoon]

Oh wow how long have you been playing?

[Patrick8782]

Thanks alot man...i just learned haif of the song from just watching you.

[qwertyuioplmzaswq]

cant tell if there minor or major chords can someone help.....

[AlesandroMoon]

Woah at 3:20...

[TheLlehctim1]

@AlesandroMoon

Instead of watching blobblob22 do it imagine how hard it would be for alex lifeson

[AlesandroMoon]

Woah I stumbled on this video twice, I gotta learn this but I'm learning fly by night and I have exams atm.

[luckyspirit07]

what a pleasure!

you are realy playing fantastic :o)

***** /***** and more

[AlesandroMoon]

I'm gonna try to learn this soon.

[AlesandroMoon]

I can tell it's not fake because the sounds are different, one sounds farther away from the other. or closer than the other however you want to see it.

[kootz1212]

holy crap! awesome

[davidpjr8]

WOW! Great job man

[fretboarder]

i just subbed you..i love seeing a bit rush played on the old geetar..where you from mate??

[tav095]

lots of people think this video is fake... you should had shown your right hand in the recording too. even i thought it was fake at first.

great cover! really enjoyed it!

[blondflash34]

to be honest i thought this video was fake at first then i took a closer look to see if the string was moving or not. . . . . . . oh well that doest matter anymore. Well i just wanna say that watching your video was good and hearing this song for the first time i think ive become a fan of rush well anyway KICK ASS DUDE!!!!!! XD

[jeffs1000]

Dude, why would you think it was fake, if you try his finger placements and follow the tabs--he's dead on. I think this guy is really Alex--he's good...very good.

[blondflash34]

i thought it was fake at first man honestly but like i said i took a closer look and saw it so now i know its real.

[TuffGong2112]

this acoustic version kicks ass

[alexlifeson4pres]

Many can play this song, but your one of the few, if not the only I have seen, (besides Lifeson himself) who can play it so fluid and beautifully. Excellent work. 5 stars. Maybe do an electric guitar cover?

[fatrippz]

plzz make a lesson or send tabs ??? plz plz plz

[pmay222]

excellent...been wanting to play this since i was a kid...30 years ago...and now im halfway there...thanks

[jarrodsk]

I have spent a great deal of time watching your rendition of Trees. It is exceptionally well done. Your attack is perfect. I can play it note for note now. You spent alot of time on this one and it shows.

[Blobblob22]

Thanks for the comment. Thank everybody else here for the comments as well, appreciated :)

[JordyJay5000]

that was a great cover. i enjoyed it. nice work.

[plopowitz]

Good job. What you have that others lack is a nice flow. Even if you miss a note here or there, overall, you present the song well. Sounds good.

[wolvenlghiter]

what are the notes to the whole intro ( no chord names, i dont know them yet, just fret number and string name in that order PLEASE )

[Roboterm01]

um just look up the chords dude its not hard

and btw a tip for later, knowing chords are really important so ya i recomend lerning them

[wolvenlghiter]

yeah im taking guitar lessons - im a begginer. well sorta, all i know on guitar is the basic tab reading and like what 5 chords? or at least their names XD i learned what i know ( riffs to well known songs) by precised tutoring from youtube :D yeh im gona learn the chords, not to worry about that. its one of the main reasons i took the course =]

[carlosprb]

diffrent angle my friend miss few positions thank you

[cessium55]

Great playing .you should make a video lesson on this.

[StudioMixxx]

Tits !

[filthyspigot]

Hi, great playing!. could you give me the chords to the intro?

Thanx,

Tim

[Blobblob22]

The chords at the beginning are:

D, F sharp, C sharp minor, A, E, G, A, B minor.

[JakeHazlewood]

nice sweater man

[turdmaster17]

this is great!!!

[awesomebdc]

hey. i juss recently learned Broon's Bane and the trees on guitar and i know that they are not easy songs. im fourteen and have been playing for just over a year and i love it. i encourage everyone to learn to play. it's a lot of fun. well keep up the great work man

[tipsjr]

wow that was really good do you think you could do a lesson or something cuz this is one of the best ive seen

[smashbrosbrawler3]

wow ur reallly good u should do a tutorial

[socomser]

That sounds like the replay x3 version to me. am I mistaken?

[Blobblob22]

Yeah it is from replay x3 (Exit Stage Left).

[Blobblob22]

Thanks everybody for the comments, I appreciate them all.

[jcmelzer]

this guy is good, no doubt! Rush was my first twelve concerts. begining at madison square garden during the roll the bones tour.... however. if this really was Alexander the greatest he'd have posted all of the 2112 suite on acoustic. which i doubt even He could do, atleast not without edits.

[1rscott]

Great Job!.....I'm trying it out on my classical and it's frick'n wearing me out .. sounds good though..One of my all time favorites,thanx

[80smetalchild]

lol youve got yourself a live audience.good job

[KillboyMetalhead]

Very impressive slim! Loved Lakeside Park too.

Have you ever thought about covering and posting "Lessons," off 2112? If you already have ..srry, just didn't see it. Would love to see how you play that one...if you get around to it.

[Blobblob22]

Thanks, 'Lessons' is a good idea, hope to give it a try in the future.

[jezx21]

Two thumbs up :0)

[Blobblob22]

It just says 'Takeraru Guitar' on the headstock. Don't know anything about the guitar, somebody gave me it a few years ago.

[nihilusmaster]

what model was that?

[Blobblob22]

The chords at the beginning are:

D, F sharp, C sharp minor, A, E, G, A, B minor.

[forgedby2112]

sorry trying to learn this incredible song and thats not a d major thats a barred A major...what is the open chord just after that?

[forgedby2112]

what is the open chord just after the D major being played? cant quite see your hands

[Alm0stSkater]

[tazMANiaT]

[Blobblob22]

Thanks for the comment, thanks.

[forgedby2112]

[itsOK2useTongues]

Perfect!  Nice technique. keep it up.

[Blobblob22]

Thanks, appreciated.

[jbrooks95]

[coreoption]

They added this to the setlist for the tour extension. Was great to see it live after listening to it for so long. Perfect cover.

[faningo276]

Way to go. You absolutely nailed that solo. This video will help me so much in playing it right. The rest of the song was done great as well, nice guitar too.

[Blobblob22]

Thanks

[frunobulac]

Hey buddy --- you're doin' good that was great!

Keep it up.

[Blobblob22]

thanks, appreciated

[taserthis1984]

Wow, that was really good!

[Blobblob22]

thanks

[chromeoverbrass]

Great job! You seemed to get all the picking right, especially the run at 3:21. Keep it up!

[Blobblob22]

Thanks! that's the fast bit at 3:21!

[chromeoverbrass]

this was at the height of Alex Lifeson's "Spanish Guitar" phase - he did some really fast picking back then!

[mdave22]

thank you! thank you! thank you... finally a video that will help me get this song down the right way. nice job!!!

thanks dave

[Blobblob22]

Glad it helps, thanks.
