Bassassin Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Bignose out of Rush, talking about his playing style, the various different instruments he's used, his influences etc, and even plonking around a bit on a bass: [url="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6814432195895010358&q=geddy+lee"]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=68...amp;q=geddy+lee[/url] Jon.

steve66 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed watching it. Cant wait to see them live on June 15th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nimrod Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Looks brilliant, gonna watch the rest later on - gotta go to work ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ta for that... great stuff. Strange that he talks about 'the need to groove' before moving on to talking about his 'flamenco finger' playing style he adopted for a few albums recently. It has to be the whitest, most groove-free technique in existence. -_- I'm glad he's back to mostly playing fingerstyle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazy_olie Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Cheers, great vid. I'm trying out the single finger picking, haven't worked out the palm muting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 It's funny, I do the single finger picking thing because my two fingered picking isn't great, I thought I was a bit of a freak playing that way, but apparently not. Great vid, thanks for the link, can't wait for October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nimrod Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Geddy talks about being 'funky' but although I rate him as a rock player, unless I'm missing something, he just ain't funky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think he means contextually - funky compared to [i]La Villa Strangiato[/i], rather than funky like James Brown! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) nice, and beleive it or not until today i hadn't heard any Rush songs before, boy have i been missing out. now i just wanna go and learn YYZ, anyone got any tabs for that? also didn't realise that the start of YYZ is the same as the start to John the fisherman by Primus, obviously Rush did it first Edited June 13, 2007 by lowhand_mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck learning it by the way, it's quite a hectic bassline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 cool cheers, just found one but didn't look cos they keep being taken off the sites, oh and it like em fairly hectic but looks like he got paid by the note for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Did he play that one with a pick? Its a bit mental... I remember having that over the PA before my band were due to due our second set and a little group of the audience went mad for it (musicians as I found out after the gig) and let's just say trying to follow YYZ isnt the easiest thing to do!

lowhand_mike Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 i'd imagine trying to play YYZ with a pick would be an absolute nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_MaN Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 that was pretty cool, looked like he modded the Jaco bass though. The Only really hing I know of Rush though is YYZ which I learnt a while ago, but he seems a pretty cool guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
