  • RIGHT LET'S STOP MESSING ABOUT!!

    Try playing Lee's bass lines (and singing) simultaneously, Lifeson's guitar riffs/arpeggios and solos, and finally Peart's syncopated drum rhythms. None of the above is easy to perform.

    The "musicians" in many of the so-called bands of today would be completely and utterly out of their depth i.e. bands like say McFly or U2. Rush's complicated awesome music could well be described as being on a "timeless wavelength"!!

    Does anyone else agree?

    OMG noob.... you can clearly see that he only uses his 4 middle strings...or maybe you aren't pro enough to see it yet. Great job as always Sean. Keep rocking it out bro.

  • This is stupid-good! Damn.

  • omg, I love your sound...

  • wow, got any tabs?

  • @smalldog221 You'll get there! I told myself the same thing a few years ago and now I can keep up somewhat with him lol. The super thick neck on my Warwick Corvette doesn't help either!

  • Too bad the sound engineer on the presto album didn't mix the album more like your clip. Some of my favorite bass lines are in presto but they are hard to hear in that thin, over emphasized upper midrange mix. You did an excellent job on the bass and capturing the sound/style of Geddy Lee.

  • far out man.

  • The delay is fucking ridiculous.

  • man that was awesome dont stop what your doing

  • You are making my heart pound hearing how you play "Show Don't Tell" with such ease and precision. I looked up the song to listen to and you popped up....

    I have never been interested in playing the bass guitar but your talent is enough to entice anyone to play. You made me wonder...."Who is this faceless man?" LOL

    Wonderful skill I must say.....:)

  • Ooh that bassline is incredible!
