Rush- Digital Man (Live) Bass Cover

First cover of this version on Youtube!

Digital Man is one of Rush's lesser known songs, but I think it's incredible. This version is from the Snakes and Arrows tour. It's very noticeably different from the album version- most notably because it has that awesome outro jam.

I just started working on figuring out the outro jam today (no tabs/videos of this version), so cut me some slack haha. It needs some work, I know.

I make sooooo many mistakes during this run, and I normally wouldn't post a run like this, but to be perfectly honest, this song is too difficult to ever achieve a flawless run. Nonetheless I'm still happy about how this came out.

Thanks for watching!

I like the way you hit the strings man, kinda like slappin them with your index and middle finger, very Geddy and Entwistle. You get a nice sound out of it.

@dLema1 thanks man! watching and listening to them play is the only lessons I've had, so its really all I know how to do lol.

I don't know how the hell you can remember all those variations.. The song itself is technically not the toughest.. but to remember a full run of this is just incredible O_o

Did you actually play the exact fills as Geddy or did you just improvise through the song? Great job no matter what.

[nflnba88]

@RHCPFL3A Thank you! It's somewhere in the middle of improv vs exact Geddy. The four or so big runs are all based on what Geddy plays, but they're not exact. But all of the random little fills are all improv.

Quality. You've got Geddy's self proclaimed noisy bastard finger technique to a tee, nice one!

Jack Bruce bass!!!! and to imagine this man sings while playing these bass lines.

Nice playin, like your technique. Never seen anyone play Rush on a EB3 before! Is that long or short scale?
