The title track to this album has the unfortunate job of being the song right before Xanadu, and because of it, many of my friends would just fast-forward past this tune. Idiots.
Even though the bass line of this tune is not as difficult as YYZ or La Villa Strangiato, I still believe that Geddy wrote one of the most incredible bass lines for this tune, and it is a must-play for any Geddy fan. Then, 30 years later, I come to mess it up....XD
I cannot stand sitting through the first part, as you can see with me dinking until my real job came up. Apologies for the slide noise at the beginning....I should have set a higher noise gate. C'est la vie.

Great job. I like how you jam your way through the song. You have to have enough confidence to know the song "as is" in order to be able to pull off the improvising, which is the kind of stuff Geddy would do when playing it live.

Dude, Monster tone on this one. Did i mention I love your Rick????
jcamp2112 2 years ago
Why yes you have, a number of times...lol. You've got the Rick bug bad. The Rick was really the only bass I wanted to play after I came off of my starter bass. I am glad I made the investment, and that was 20 years ago or so.....cost me $450. It gets great tone on rock tunes, but falls short when it comes to slapping. It taps well, though. I played it almost exclusively up to a couple of years ago.

lol Very good!
You really "freak out" during the off time signature parts! lol Are you having trouble or trying to let everyone know it's difficult to count it?? lol
BlueTunisia 2 years ago
Believe it or not, I am not "counting" it, but feeling it. The movements are part and parcel to feeling it. I know I look like a spaz, but without my spazzines, I am afraid I have terrible rhythm. Watching me play is like watching sausage being made.

A true musician needs to know how to count.
Or you'll just be memorizing everything in life. Nothing more than an American Idol contestant.
BlueTunisia 2 years ago
So is the implication now that I am not a musician? And American Idol contestant?....those are fighting words.
You think counting is non-memorization and feeling is memorization?
Your comment makes no sense at all. Unless you are going to prove what a great musician you are to launch such a bullshit criticism, stick to your economics, pencil-neck.
