I really like your approach to teaching, no wasted time but adequate explanations. Well done!

Around 1975 this is the song that my friend played for me that turned me onto how great Rush was. Too bad the Rush Tribute Bands I've seen don't play this song.

This song shows what great song writers they were even before Neil entered into the picture. That bridge is brilliant.

Alex Lifeson is truly underrated IMO. Great lesson. A video with the solo would be cool

[Presto]

Fantastic Rush lessons! Concise and well played. So nice to seeing the early albums being covered. Solos would be much appreciated.

I've been a Rush fan since the late 70s when i was 11 or 12. But only since i started playing guitar during Covid did i truly realize how great the guitar parts in their songs are. As a casual listener, Rush never seemed to be heavy guitar or really awesome guitar parts, but now that i play...i have much respect for the guitar parts Alex Lifeson created. And it's great that there's so much video of them playing live all through the years. Their last few tours are absolutely incredible to watch since they had so much awesome material to choose from and they play their songs exactly like you know them. Thank you for the lesson!!

Brought back good memories from listening to WMMS 100.7 the Buzzard out of Cleveland in high school.

Cool lesson Rush is my favorite band of all time Alex is the best!!

[palerider]

So awesome. Takes me right back to high school days learning to play the guitar. I wish these videos were available then! I still learned some of the subtleties today.

Thank you ....the clean full version....been playing the live one .... nuance

I'd never know you had a sore hand. Love the song, gonna give it a try. What a great lesson. Thanks so much.

[francoislambert]

Well done! I didn't know about the 3 fret on A string for the opening riff! Thanks! I'm waiting for the solo!

[ajcoderunner]

Love it. I'm a big fan of early Rush and often thought I should try and learn this song but never got round to it. Until now. Thanks great tutorial. Well explained.

[danlarsen]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much. Been a Rush fan since day 1 ( thanks to older brothers) and finally getting time to do what I’ve wanted to for 50 years (yikes) thanks to KDA!

Great lesson!! I knew about the High A on 5th fret…didn’t realize Alex played the c note on A string first off…after Alex plays G, then D…he’ll play a regular A…then next time includes higher notes

[gordonlee]

Those early Rush tunes were cool, and like your other Rush lessons...nailed it! (Even with a sore hand) as always, thx for sharing. How about some deep dives into Frank Marino's 70's era Mahogany Rush stuff? Rush and Mahogany Rush were the Canadian power houses of rock in those days!

Well done! I was hung up on the c note only being played once for the main lick. I was thinking he did it every time.. but did not sound right. Thanks!

[billwarkentin]

Great riff and super fun to play! Thanks for the lesson, Kelly!

[RRod-qc]
