simple to play maybe, but no walk on the beach when it comes to writing a solo like this. And yes, this probably my favorite of his too, it's amazing!
Thank you so much snowdoguk for posting this, I've wanted to learn this for a while but finding accurate tabs is a nightmare - your video has made my life a lot easier and in my opinion is spot on. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic job, this was always my favourite Rush solo ever, it still makes me cry a little bit even now! haha! and I'm a drummer! See even drummers can appreciate good music ;-) subscribed
Hi :-) no I don't have tabs, I slowed the audio down to half speed and worked it out for myself. You shouldn't really need tabs now if you watch the second half of the video. Good luck!!!
This is absolutely amazing, as are all your videos. I'm a huge Rush fan and it's great to see someone play their songs so well. Even the tone is spot on! If I may, can I request a few songs? I'd love to hear you play Heresy, Force Ten and Middletown Dreams.
Thanks Doc!! Technically still got a little way to go, palm muting and pinch harmonics between 7 and 9 seconds are almost zero, whammy on natural harmonic at 16 seconds is missing.. still practice will make perfect, probably :-)
Hi :-) this is actually one of the hardest I've learnt to date, goodness knows where Alex gets his ideas from, but that's the magic of Rush I guess. Your comment made me smile, thanks.
very cool in slow motion. ROCK ME.
