[samuel_pribus]

One rush cover once a year thats a good frequency :DD

[wilsonsecaur]

The Geddy tone is so vicious, love it

[BasicFilmmaker]

Love how you nail all the nuances every time. Thanks! 👍

[mfava]

Of all the Rush songs, having this one tabbed out offers a glimpse into a more transparent and functional arrangement for voice + synth + bass playing from Geddy, it is clear how each part allows for that multi-instrumental transition, anbd space for more complex passages of one while the other recedes.

[ConstantineIsslamow]

Brilliant as always. Thanks for sharing with us.

[rebeccav.]

In case you ever feel like your bass playing isn't up to snuff...remember that Geddy Lee also sang the song while playing this bass line. That should make you feel even worse! :)

[thegrahammer]

the difference b/w 3/4 and 1.00 speed is so very real. amazing work CS. Thank you very much

[pederhalvorsen]

The fingering is literally perfect at the guitar solo. Some other tabs have been weird xD

[TheGustavok]

Even being a long time Rush fan I never really noticed how many nass silences there are in this song! :D Great video as always!

[filteredvitaminsubstance]

So weird because I just started learning this song on bass and now I see you're covering it.

[genxrev]

So solid, yet also felt the emotion in it. Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

[Idolikethis]

I thought this song was far more complicated 😅 perhaps its just Neil who is 😂

I'm going to learn this today😂 I'm missing

[KilJoy]

Took how many years for you to finally do this one 😂😂😂

Love it, keep up the good work

[roaming]
