Rush - The Trees (Bass Cover)

[ty5020]

question what is the effect on the bass i hear on the recording during the beginning

[martyman5000]

Great job...I kept thinking it would be great if you were standing rocking out.

[BASSPOPS]

@martyman5000 back then, I was working midnights and standing for 12 hr shifts. Recording Geddy was my way of "stress relief" before I crashed for the day. I've since quit that lameass job..I'm back amongst the living!!

[lavaxtris1]

my version... is worse. watch it anyway! i wish i had a p-bass like that...

[carbineater2]

I can only fault you for one thing - your Redskins shirt LOL. Go COWBOYS!!!

Seriously, I've been playing it in a different position - yours looks more fluid. I might try your style. Thanks for posting.

[floouk]

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! You are one talented *!£@$%!!

[BassManOnTheHill]

Well done. Nice flow. The song has some tricky timing. Rush is a pleasure to play, aye?

[OrkSlayer3434]

Can I tell you something BASSPOPS?.....You are the best Rush bass cover I've ever seen on youtube...and I'm talking about all the songs you play, not just a few. You Rock!

[snowdoguk]

Excellent!! The Trees, I've always referred to people as either Oaks or Maples since I first heard this wonderful song all those moons ago. It's only when you listen to a cover again without actually watching it that you can hear the subtle runs, phrases, hammer ons etc. I think you did a great job on this one, 5*.

[Colonoscope]

Very well done sir!

[MajorasFlask]

I am impressed, but can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

[2112andy]

you rock dude

[XXXStrickenXXX]

Love this song, and I love your playing I started playing bass 2 weeks ago and cant wait till I'm able to do this. 5*

[guitarwizardman2]

Hey i can see you for a change.Hope your doing alright.

[ritmeking]

An amazing bassline from Geddy Lee.

And you play it very well!

[chromeoverbrass]

Would the fellow in the picture hanging above you happen to be the guitarist in your other videos? :)

[BASSPOPS]

Yes, how observant. That's little ultimoguitarist. The other one is the drummer in our Seek and Destroy video.

[chromeoverbrass]

The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree(s)! :) If I was in Canada, eh, I'd jam with you guys for sure. I can play most of the old Rush on drums. Keep posting man; I love this stuff.

[KingXanadu]

awesome.
