bass_in_ya_face Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 After putting out a request for a new track to learn the other day, someone suggested a Rush track. Since then I have been discovering more Rush tracks I like (Geddy Lee is just brilliant) I have the following tracks so far Leave that thing alone Far Cry YYZ Driven Freewill Tom Sawyer The Spirit Of Radio. Save me trawling through gazillions of albums, can anyone suggest any other tracks worth downloading (especially those that show off Geddy Lee's playing) The only one gripe is that his voice tends to annoy after a while.

wateroftyne Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Signals & Power Windows are good bass albums. Specific bass songs... Digital Man, Marathon, Turn the Page, The Camera Eye, Hemispheres, La Villa Strangiato... Heck, there's millions of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnt Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Splendid - another Acolyte of the Temple of Syrinx. Bwahahahaha... My first Rush bassline was [i]Grand Designs[/i] (Power Windows), and I had great fun with much of Hold Your Fire and Presto. The production on Presto is squeaky-clean with the bass up front - great for study. Another personal fave in [i]Where's My Thing?[/i] (Roll The Bones), the predecessor to [i]Leave That Thing Alone[/i]. Re the older stuff: not much to add to Phaedrus' list, but Freewill is very interesting for what Geddy is doing under the guitar solo: a lot of notes, but not too many. I think I mentioned The Main Monkey Business ([i]Snakes & Arrows[/i]) already? Edited September 11, 2007 by bnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
