joe in jersey says... great job !!!!!!!!!!

[seveertrebor]

@joeychop ...Rob in England says...thanks!

[salasvalor01]

You play these songs with so much passion- so particular about all of the details. It's also empowering to see you keep a poker face no matter what the complexity of the part. You carry yourself a lot like Jimmy Page btw, it's mostly in the face.

[seveertrebor]

@salasvalor01 ......hey thanks for that! yeah, the poker face is total concentration, as it doesn't come easy!! I get comments about about me not smiling!!!

[troutdaletim]

Just tuned in and you play great. I am torn between bass and classical guitars right now myself.

[seveertrebor]

@troutdaletim ....thanks for that! Well as long as you learn play something it doesn't really matter...you will get years of enjoyment out of it. I pick up my guitar every day.

[jmb123451]

Great job on the solo. Nailed it.

[seveertrebor]

@jmb123451 ...thanks for that! nearly...just missed the harmonic!!

[splendiferous7]

Awesome job man, were you using chorus or flange on this song?

[seveertrebor]

@splendiferous7 ...thanks v much....Chorus.

[MrJlatas]

Hey great cover I'm an advanced player and I'm thinking about doing this for my middle school talent show I was wondering what effects you were using thanks

[2hatsciaran]

@MrJlatas .Thanks...it was played thru a Flextone III.

[Tim765432]

Hi great job what where your fx settings ?

[seveertrebor]

@Tim765432 ...thanks.....this was played thru a Flextone III.

[flaxxbert]

I saw Rush in Sweden May 6th 2011, and I got to tell you... You are doing a heck of a good job.

Regards,

Proud Rushfan and new subscriber of your channel.

[seveertrebor]

@flaxxbert ...thanks v much, really appreciate the feedback. By the way, did you enjoy the concert? I missed out on them!!

[flaxxbert]

@seveertrebor Yea, was really a great concert. All riffs, solos and drum-beating were perfect. If I had to complain on something it should've been Geddys voice, there were some times on the newer songs his voice just got muted. But that was not any major, didn't think about it until I read the paper about the concert the day after. On the hole a perfect concert. You must get a ticket for next concert, who knows, any concert may be the last!

Keep on rocking!

[seveertrebor]

@flaxxbert .....there were major sound problems last time I saw them in Birmingham UK, really bad feedback from Lerxst and generally distorted sound. They sorted it out by the second half of the set though. Think they will be around for a good time yet, so I should get to see them again.

[cville57]

How well does your CE 24 stay in tune when you use the tremolo bar?

[seveertrebor]

@cville57 ...I ended up selling it, because it kept on dropping out of tune, even with light use.

[cville57]

@seveertrebor The same thing keeps happening to my Custom 22....

[seveertrebor]

@cville57 ...just bought an Epiphone Pro/FX (cheap version of the Lifeson Axcess), got a Floyd Rose with locking nut, very stable and very versatile, I really like it!!

[cville57]

@seveertrebor Well, I'm pretty sure that I'll sell my Custom 22 and try another PRS....but if that doesn't work, I don't know what I'd do, since I'm not really a fan of Floyd Roses....

[MrNatalRocks]

Is your guitar an Paul reed Smith? Becouse some times i confuse with the Music man

[seveertrebor]

@MrNatalRocks .....yep, its CE 24.

[TwoHandsNY]

Nice job dude!

[seveertrebor]

@TwoHandsNY ...thanks!

[SpazzlePop]

this is great :)



[seveertrebor]

@SpazzlePop ...thanks v much :)

[rackflotmf]

[seveertrebor]

@rackflotmf ...yep, its Guitar Pro.

[rackflotmf]

what are you playing for the backup music? is that a midi?

[DonnieBass66]

O.o  Well done sir!!!

[seveertrebor]

@DonnieBass66 ...thanks v much!

[Beginnerbassman]

EOIC

[Claymore234]

Nice Paul Reed Smith (PRS) :)

[seveertrebor]

@Claymore234 ....mmm, I stupidly let this go!! Bad idea!

[SoaringMuse]

Good lord that was awesome. Props to you sir.

[seveertrebor]

@SoaringMuse ....thanks v much!

[seveertrebor]

@AttilaBlasphemer ...thanks for the kind words. Best $5 you can spend....go to ivideosongs website and AL shows you how to play it!!

[NachoAmigo97]

Cool

[SuperRustik88]

Dooo you have any tabs for the bridge?? From 3:52 - 4:14, i cant find any any wheres and I cant seem to pick it up perfectly by ear.

[seveertrebor]

@SuperRustik88 Its just chrods E, A, B. Lerxst just messes about with them.

[TehSxeNerd]

Excellent, what model of PRS is that?

[seveertrebor]

@TehSxeNerd ...thanks, its a CE24

[tearsp07]

Sorry read earlier comments and found it :P :) in words of Neil young keep on rocking in the free world!

[tearsp07]

Amazing job sir, I don't mean to be a troll but the chords for the verses are they em, b major, g or cadd9 I'm trying to learn this song by watching your videos loll tabs are too confusing most of the time, you make a canadian kid like myself very proud

[seveertrebor]

@tearsp07 ...hey, thanks for the kind words and glad you've figured it out. Always happy help out if you get stuck elsewhere? Rush and Neil young....you have great taste!

[tearsp07]

@seveertrebor you were right its easier when you get past the intro, the solos intense but ill slowly work my way towards it, ive been playing for 3 years myself so its hard to find people who do covers as well that you can figure out what they are doing and learn, 18 going 40 i barely listen to anything but the "old" music, ranging from 1960 on wards, has way more meaning then the stuff thats put out now, thank you so much for offering and im sure ill take it up sometime!

[MrLukeimurdad6]

love the intro, great cover!!

[seveertrebor]

@MrLukeimurdad6 ...thanks for that. Took a while, but once you get into the flow of it, its ok!

[dbowers914]

I tip my hat to you sir that was incredible !

[seveertrebor]

@dbowers914 .....nice of you to say so!

[Diitch13]

Nice job!!!

[seveertrebor]

@manofgod30 ...thanks!!

[TheStinkypanda]

amazing cover! by the way what amp are you using in this video?

[seveertrebor]

@TheStinkypanda .....thanks for that! Flextone III. Using a H&K Switchblade now though.

[racefaceec90]

nice one! am currently learning it on guitar (unfortunately am using a borrowed electric without an amp at present/had to sell my guitar,amp to pay bills.) i hope to have a new guitar/amp by july/august.it certainly isn't an easy track to learn to play.nice one!!!

[seveertrebor]

@racefaceec90 ...cheers! Once you get the intro down its not too bad!

[starwarsguy34]

Great cover. What effects are you using? Im guessing phase 90, slap back delay and distortion?

[seveertrebor]

@starwarsguy34 ....thanks for that! Can't remember now, but it was played thru a Flextone III, have since changed to a H&K Switchblade 50.

[sandarco]

Great job. Congrats Mr. Knopfler XD. No, seriously, great cover

[seveertrebor]

[jdis]

excellent job! i have always had the most trouble deciphering the breakdown between common and 6/8 time.

[seveertrebor]

@jdis .....cheers! Must say I am ignorant of 6/8 time etc as I play by ear and am self taught.

[RockinRollBand09]

Holy!! Awsome cover! One of the best ive seen on youtube!!

[seveertrebor]

@RockinRollBand09 ...woah! thanks...appreciate it!

[seveertrebor]

@bbsura ...thanks, nice to hear!!

[PeeceSells]

your Rush covers own xD i just got this intro down...now im moving on but i feel after intro its even more difficult!

[seveertrebor]

@PeeceSells ......hey, if you can play the intro its down hill from there, believe me!

[pasian4life]

Nice work. I want to get that intro down before I move on the rest of the song.

Alex sez the trick is to keep your middle finger fretted on B string 3rd fret. Hammer/pull off index pinkie.

[seveertrebor]

@pasian4life ...thanks. I haven't seen the Alex SOR video, is this where you got the info??
