Oh wow, i don't recall commenting on this, nor do I know why it sounds like english is my second language. I've since remove the pick up cover on my Ric.
Sound is good nut take off the pick cover, you get more intonation without it. Your missing a lot of fills in 2:10 and 4:16 of the song. Try staying in second hand position with your pinky on the F of the A string.
Overall is good. But there are many incorrect parts. Especially during the solos. A little more attention and notice the errors. But overall, again, is good!
It's the one from Permanent Waves actually. It might sound live to you because it is getting recorded through the camera microphone along with my bass.
26 years ago, I could have been Geddy Lee's replacement. Even if he broke both of his arms. I think you just took over for me. Your're awesome , dude! Keep up the great work! I've got a Chris Squier Limited Edition 4001 (number 342). BUT! I I still want a Jetglow 4001/4003 like you've got. I'm jealous! Kepp rockin'!!!!!!!!!
Play along with something you like that isn't very fast or complicated. Add some more songs as you start to make progress. Eventually, you can add more difficult songs. The biggest thing is to enjoy the process. I like playing things over and over and getting a bit better each time
Ahh, one of my favorite Rush songs. =) That's a tough one to play and you did it very well! I love playing this one on drums; I'm still working on it though. But anyway...
Yes, I usually play behind it. I liked the sound there better early on and it stuck. Sometimes I play infront too though. I'm used to it so I won't be removing it either.
That song was originally titled, "Sir Gawain And The Green Knight".
But the Olde English stylings didn't really jive with the 'modern sensilibity' feel of "Waves", so it was scrapped and rewritten to become Natural Science.
Not So Fast. There are some parts (particularly at the beginning jam) where the fingers should not be so "choppy"...they should be more fluid. This is a balance between staccato picking and "finger fretting". I would say never rely TOTALLY on the picking hand.
Nice instrument! Not seen someone playing one of them for ages! I've got a Fender Jazz fromm the states and a Mexican Fender Precision! Good Job on the Song! My favourite Rush tune! I think Im gna put up a version of me doing this song also (If that was ok with u) And we can compare! Yours is a different style to mine! But good job! Geddy Lee rocks
Nice Nice job. I like your style like scarred2112 said very nice postions, people sometimes forget the same notes appears more then once and some are closer then others lol. Kick ass bass too. I need to get the ricky with the toaster pickups. This is definetly my favorite youtube bass version.
I wanna have sex with that bass.

Try not to anchor your right thumb, ever. Use it to mute an E or A string, or enable yourself to move freely about for assorted tones.

Geddy's original bass was a Fender Precision copy. He got the body cut so it's a tear-drop shape now.

Good job -- that's a tough song. I find your Ric tone closer to Jack Bruce's than Geddy's, though it may have to do with the audio recording.

Great positional playing - you're not running all over the fretboard wasting movement and therefore energy. Classic Ric tone as well.
