YYZ Bass Tab Slowly

[GermiesCoasterYard]

definitely saving this video. It was incredibly easy to pause and play the music. Also, I totally have way more respect for Geddy, having seen this.

Regarding just the 'verses', I have listened to this for years (especially, slowed down), and agree the phrasing is correct. Note, the second part of each phrase... the three notes in succession are played on the third string (A), NOT the the second (D), as many tabs/notation claim. Great job, catching that!

I learned it by ear as a teen in the early eighties. Took me many many hours of practicing to get it right. For some reason, I always found the first of the three solos to be the most difficult part to learn and play, even though it sounds like the easiest of the three.

I am currently trying to learn YYZ.
This is the most helpful video I have found yet!!!
THANK YOU!

Best educational video out there for this monster! Thank you very much for this post and PLEASE keep at it.

Excellent version. I like how you added Geddy's soloed part to the mixed track to hilight it. Slowing it down makes it much easier to learn too.
Near as i can tell the tabs look right on too, great work presenting it this way!

This is awesome. However, it's still going to be near impossible to play (especially the solo parts), but al least I have a chance now with it slowed down. Thank you so much!!!

Gawd, I need this for that fast little bass solo/run from "La Villa Strangiato"! Or the intro run-up in "The Spirit of Radio"...and a lot of other things, who am I kidding...

even at this speed its still hard as fuck

[boopsnoot]

If you play it at 1.5x speed it’s the normal song. So in case after you master it and want to play at the normal speed with the tabs, there you go. You’re welcome you dingus.

Thank you very much for offering this. My ears need work to hear it. (:

I noticed one mistake in the "verse" riff: the 4 3 2 should always be on the D string. Now the latter half of the riff has 4 2 on the D string and 4 3 2 on the A string when it should be the other way around. Same thing when the riff is transposed a minor 3rd up.

amaizing ... and go 1, 5 speed when you get from it on 1.0 ... i started 0.5 :D

Thank you so much! Sometimes it’s hard to hear what’s going on in this song

[jcsk]

Who else is learning this song? I´m doing since 2008.

[rationalmuscle]

Thanks man, great of you to post. Just curious, what are you using to slow the song down and keep the pitch?

Better to learn at double speed then slow down for performance - Chuck Norris

Hasta lenta sigue siendo complicada jajaja :(
