  • I am looking for a guitar similar to what you have but in a little lower price range. Any suggestions? Awesome vid btw.

  • You could look into a PRS SE or equivalent. Loads of good guitars out there, but this PRS is just beautiful to play and I imagine a SE would be very acceptable, ask your local dealer for a test drive. there's a street in London, can never remember it's name but it's on the Tottenham Court Road tube station, just down the road... Every guitar under the sun... good luck !!!

  • Do you have any idea of how Alex achieves that amazing guitar sound in the chords of this song ? I`m talking about this part: ``I hear their passionate music...``, especially the E major chord

    ( ``But dreams don`t need to have motion...`` E major ``To keep their spark alive...``. I`m not sure if there`s a mixture between electric & acoustic guitars. If you know, please tell me cause I`ve been wondering about it for a long time.

  • I don't know for sure, but I imagine he's using piezo pickups which give an acoustic sound with a lot of reverb and appropriate delay.. it almost sounds like musical glass smashing every time he hits the chord

  • Rush /Hold Your Fire /Mission is my answer, and no I didnt read any comment prior to my answer, this being quiz format and all... anyhow admire your work with RUSH covers, keep it up!!

  • Hi Shozee!! Many thanks for your comments and taking the time to watch and of course, all dedicated Rush fans would have no problem knowing this song.

  • Woah.. your covers leave me speechless. Very few can even get the tone of Lifeson down, much less the playing. You get both to perfection. Excellent.

  • Best number on the album.  Glad they pulled this one out for the Snakes & Arrows tour. The keys sounded particularly awesome.
