Limelight - Guitar

[Crushuh]

Nice job and great looking guitar.This video has helped me on the articulated notes. If you happen to remake this, could you zoom in a bit ? It is a little hard to see your frets,and fingers. Thank you. P.S. could you tell a bit about your Randy Rhoads "V" .

[JeszeeLaw]

One thing in life is for sure, you cant please everybody! And some peoples opinions are absolutely retarded! I love the anon youtube guitar experts who can not help but chime in that you played this wrong, or that wrong! There are many paths to the promise land, and for that I can assure you. You do a fantastic job as usual Greenie, definitely one of my favorite channels to check out for real guitar playing from a real guitar player. What you see is what you get with greenie, no fancy programs..

[Greenie007]

@JeszeeLaw well thanks, that was very nice of you to say. And I agree. I've lost a lot of weight so I'm thinking of redoing some of these videos as to lessen the "fatso" jokers. Not sure if you've heard my new tracking of Crazy Train with me on bass and guitar and Ozzy and his drummer doing the rest? Here's the link. I'm happy with how it turned out. It's the newest thing on my channel.

[professorfoxtrot]

fuck ya dude, you're awesome!

[jwramc]

I was just out of high school when Moving Pictures released & Limelight has been my favorite Rush song since. The PROBLEM is that it always sucks me in so I can't really concentrate on the separate techniques of the artists, & I never really grasped the intricacy of what Lifeson is doing here. Seeing it this way, the original recording suppressed & the clear visuals of what the hands are doing gives me a newfound, even deeper respect for what went into this utterly perfect song. Keep at it, bro!

[EspGuitars1337]

Where did you get the guitar? Good cover btw

[jims3666]

dont worry about haters. most people who play guitar do it because they enjoy it. if you are enjoying what you are doing and you make a video of yourself to show your friends then its great. guitar playing is self expression and appreciation of music, it isnt a competition sport. haters should spend more time practicing than hurting people who share a common bond for the love of the guitar.

[M16second]

Personally, that is one ugly guitar, but one hell of a song!

[TheChuckNorris1997]

I love the faces and movements you made. They were lol-worthy. And nice RR Flying V. Though it looks to be almost half your size.

[Master13371]

love the flying V man

[AidaaaJ]

Jackson Rhoads? Sweet guitar.

[Spiritsofthedragons]

Your not playing the 3rd riff right

[Greenie007]

@Spiritsofthedragons please be more specific, which "riff" and at what point of the song? I don't play this exact. I do my own thing on a few parts.

[Spiritsofthedragons]

@Greenie007 after the second part of the intro it sounds a little bit wrong you but other then that the whole song sounds good and I can't do any better because I just started learning that song

BTW you have a awesome guitar what kind is it?

[Bertziethegreat]

OMGWTF Where you get that guitar?!?! I WANT.

[ChevyManSS350]

Dude can I have that guitar. FUCKING BADASS BRO!!!!!

[diebydeath]

I love how there are people who love your guitar and people who hate it. Me? I love it. But I do agree, it's a bit weird to see that being played for a rush song. Maybe Alex Lifeson should get one of those...

[MrGuitarmaniac439]

its good i just hate he guitar

[MrMusicman456]

PLEASE tell me where u got that guitar

[ziggy72170]

Well done Performance ! Although, you looked sorta out of place with the RR-Guitar...Perhaps wearing hair-sprayed Wig, would give that 80's kick, to match that Awesome Axe...

[Razor1248]

Great Job! Loved it!

[AlesandroMoon]

WOO! NICE

[dadada18244]

You rock!!!

[killeroforce]

Damn, I wish i had a rhoad's guitar like that

[B0B0damonkey]

nice but this song would have been better if you used a guitar with a floyd rose because in the end after the solo it sounded a little out of tune

[Nh1959rr5150]

this is really good and amazing rhoads guitar!!!

[Ibik]

nice one man and amazing guitar!~

[S0nicb00mO]

This is EXACTLY how he plays it. I got the apple GarageBand lesson and this exactly how he does. I cringe when people play this song wrong...it's an amazing song!

[TapeMeasureandhair]

But, dancing aside this is pretty awesome-no chance of a lesson? You are one of the two people on the entire internet to get it right...the other one is Alex Lifeson

[Greenie007]

I had done a video lesson on a DVD with another Rush song and Ozzy songs, but Limelight was not accurate in the least! I should redo it and re-release it. Thanks for the comments! To be compared to Lifeson envelopes my heart with flattery!

[TapeMeasureandhair]

Cool, could you put the new one up on YouTube?

[TapeMeasureandhair]

I love his dancing

[tucktimosprime]

nice job,nice axe,ive just uploaded a load of rush guitar backing tracks if anybody needs em..

[PeeceSells]

fun song to play the little rake\sweep is so annoying

[Bempley]

man, GREAT cover, i really enjoyed it. nice work. keep on rockin'

[teletran8]

LOL @ your Solo face bro nice vid and nice axe thx

[BLDMLN1007]

sounds like your makin good use of your guitar.loved it.

[luey1222]

i want his guitar so bad

[iamorion4026]

the solo was dreadful.

[crudbudrules]

Awesome!

[moleman1961]

Nice cover! Try tightening your trem arm up a bit so its closer to hand! Great stuff! I get stuck on the chorus chords! Good job!

[racefaceec90]

great cover!!!i was wondering could you suggest a good tab of limelight,as i play the main chorus wrong.have checked the alex lifeson tuition on itunes,but unfortunately do not have a credit card,so cannot see his video(it sucks!!!).thanks for your time!!!

[dvsmzr]

rush is really awesome live. im only 13 but ive been to several concerts. i kan sorta play this on guitar but still is hard

[lillybeanforever]

ya it was hard for me at first to but after playin for a couple years its a snap if u wanna try a hard rush song try the trees

[TheRock1337]

gotta love the flying V guitar

[ishredinmysleep]

what kind of guitar is that

[tuckenpower69]

That´s a Flying V Polka Dot, the same as Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne 1979-1982) used to play.

[spaden2112]

Yeah that is amazing to see. Amazing guitar.

[joshyman12312]

Damn, Im impressed

you even nailed the solo which is hard to do

[ledzepacbasslyn423]

just like alex, solo was flawless sweet guitar btw

[x0xide]

how much was the karl sandoval guitar?

[slash42940]

idiot that a randy rhoads signature guitar

[killingsense]

It is Randy's guitar but Karl Sandoval made it for him.

[RhoadsFan297]

that sig replica of Randy's is like 2400 and like another 150 for the case.

its like my dream guitar.

i will own it someday

[evhcustom]

man that was awesome. i love the guitar.

the only thing i think you need to do is turn the music up in the background so it is equal to your amp.

but anyway GREAT JOB!!!

[sssandersssander]

nice guitar man...

[RandyRhoadsFan82]

Perfect. I love the guitar too, keep it up and dont pay attention to any of the assholes who say shit about you, your an amazing guitarist man

[lloydaphelion]

I second that.

[rhbcweatherdude]

I third that.

[Anonymous8893]

I second the third..

[paguaplayer]

Thanks for sharing. The guitar is super sweet but you know that already. I hate the negativity here. Keep it up.

[ghfreak01]

awesome dude, sweet freakin guitar...rip randy

[davidrundle11]

very good and awsome guitar its my dream guitar how much?

[evelskunny]

you look like a fucking goofball!!!!

[Greenie007]

::sigh::: You again? At your age are you really this much of an asshole? Didn't your mother raise you to keep your mouth shut when you can't say anything nice? I expect that from the 15 years olds on here. Nothing but bile from you. "My G chord is wrong- I'm fatt" (LOL) You are no musician either, sir.

Gang, this is what is considered one of those guys that carries their egos into their 30s. I hope any young musician learns to shake it. This loser surely hasn't.

[andy0273]

What do you expect from a MASSHOLE? Nice job dude.

[wowptr111]

hate your guitar. OMG its ugly

[Greenie007]

Apparently, you're not a guitar player and don't get it... Sorry.

[mribanez123]

It's one of the fricken sweetest looking guitar's ever. Learn some things.

[jkerrigan1990]

I love the head bopping at 1:13. I can't help it either.

[KingXanadu]

good job. a few of the arppegiated chords are wrong

[Johnsgotwood]

I've also seen the ivideo with Alex Lifeson and had to change the way I played the song. I also saw the other version of this you posted which was good but this ones much better. Excellent!

[AcDc109]

How much did you pay for that awsome replica?

[ulijdavid]

That guitar was made by Doberman Guitars.

[Greenie007]

That is correct- and if you have the money and want a great custom-made guitar I highly recommend them!

[nebulous1t]

nicely done!! i seen rush @ ontario place in toronto.neil pert did a 45 minute drum solo.awesome...keep the vids coming ,i subscribed.

[pearljam8940]
