paul h Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 A guitar teacher friend of mine has just asked me about Geddy Lee and how many fingers he uses. I am pretty sure the old bassplayer.tv had a video of him showing a one finger technique. That website just seems to redirect to bassplayer.com. Google has let me down, so I wondered if anyone here could point me to the vid in question. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nah... I've seen it, but I can't find it either. I think it's GAWWWWN!, as Dot Cotton would say. Personally, I'd rather he gave the flamenco thing a rest. I much preferred him when he played interesting lines that swung a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have no opinions about the gentleman. I walked out of my only Rush gig ten minutes in. Primus were supporting and were brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS73 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) This has a little demo of this style, [url="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6814432195895010358#"]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6814432195895010358#[/url] but like he says, it was just a phase and trying different styles. He has been around playing fantastic bass constantly for 40 or so years, so unlike most he's ever adapting and experimenting. Shame you didn't hang around longer, you may have got a live demo.

I fully intended to stick around for Rush right until the backing vocals appeared behind me from some sort of totally unnecessary quadrophonic sound system. I prefer my gigs to be of the sweaty, energetic, full of cock ups kind, and not the exactly same as the record kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There are a series of video docu's showing the whole set up backsatge inc all the sound system, I'll try n find a link. But I know what you mean, though I don't think Rush could sound any different in their playing and timing as they're just to good together. SWEAT, PEE, BLOOD and GOB, Dead Kennedys 1979 Leadmill, looking back I can only think ''Ouch''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
