Anthem - Rush bass cover

Me playing bass to Anthem by Rush.

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward...no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
The wonders of the world, wonders of the world
Wonders of the world they wrought

Live for yourself...there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song

wow dude you kick ass. love this song, im actualy doing it for my school's talent show. got any tips?

[Do21or12Die]

hah thanks bro. yeah pretty much what you can do is play the SHIT out of the intro for bass. drop back and lean more toward the neck pick-up for the rest of the song after that. Let the guitar take its course.

[rushzepp]

man, you rock at bass. i kinda like that tone, what did you set your amp at?

[Do21or12Die]

sorry for delay, and thanks :D its a american jazz with a crate mxb10 or something. The high is all the way up, mid is half way and low is a quarter way. so order from low to high: 3,5,10

[Do21or12Die]

heh thanks bro

dude nice ive only been playing the bass for like 2 years and i've wanted to learn this song but at my level it's impossible.. did u use tabs or person to person teaching?

[Do21or12Die]

thanks bud :) to answer your question, I was person taught (by my dad) for about 3 or 4 lessons. he taught me the basics of the bass guitar, then i took it off on my own. This particular song is picked by ear, so if you want to learn it the real way, i suggest using tabs, but this video works fine too.

Your good man but i don't think your playing it exactly right... also work on timing

[Bandet4]

You good man but i dont think your playing it correctly... Also work on timeing

[deepinthepocket]

GEEEZUZ! Nice job! As for the other comments, Got news for ya, watch the R30 overture. Geddy doesn't even play it this way anymore.

i agree with lul88 you screw with RUSH's music you screw with me. i will hunt you down and strangle you with my low E string if you do it again..

[mrmuffin10]

great cover!!!

[ACELLOFAWARENESS]

holy crap, ain't Geddy something? you gotta play a bass like you're doing a 6 string solo to cover his parts!!!!

[fanofthemusic1090]

You play a lot like Geddy. Ignore that lull88 guy, you do Geddy no disrespect by customizing the song. Anyway, you're amazing. Keep at it. You kick ass.

[lull88]

nice cover man, but only a suggestion is to leave your own little extra licks out of it because it takes away the great sound of Geddy lee's licks !! Kinda of disrespectful in a way. but other than that nice playing son !!
