RUSH-O-RAMA!! Part 1 of 3

This is my sixth attempt at my 23+ minute bass tribute to one of my favorite bands, RUSH! Shot at midnight over Brad's dad's house, super tired and wired on iced coffee, this isn't perfect by a long shot but it WAS the first time I was able to make it through the whole thing.

I can't read music and never had lessons (I'm sure it shows waa hah!). I also play by ear and / or memory so lots of this is going to be wrong haha. This is my 2nd major hobby and the other's making computer games (Hasslevania, Neil Peart- Mission: The Camera Eye, ODW & more)

This was played all the way through and I tried to match certain parts of songs up so that they'd go right into one another the "Best I Can".

Anyhow, this was a lot of fun regardless :D

Technically it's pretty good. However, the sound of the strings slapping against the frets is very distracting. It sounds like you may need to raise your action a bit or maybe not hit the stings so hard.

[DelDuio]

@TheBluePhoenix2112 I had a problem with my bridge for the longest time (a height adjustment screw was missing) but I got a replacement just this past Monday and restrung the thing.

The bad thing is I had ordered a stock Fender bridge from Guitar Center on Saturday and now I have to get a refund. At least I'll be able to get a new cable or strap or something!

I like this, you're pretty good, also funny xD. And I've just discovered your DXF site too. You may have just found yet another stalker.

[DelDuio]

@Archer117j Thanks!

[ortoslon]

you should upscale music videos to at least 480px before uploading to get better sound quality (yeah, youtube's weird)

[DelDuio]

@ortoslon We recorded this on a digital camera and not a video camera so the sound was a bit wonky to begin with. Thanks for the tip for next time!

[Shinsen88]

Awesome! Excellent work.

RUSH!

[beegeman]

Dang you're good for playing by ear!

[kubevubin]

RUSH? Who's that? :P
