Lifeson has such a unique sound. A seriously unheard of guitarist for how good he is. It’s crazy that I went until the age of 20 without knowing Rush even existed until I discovered them entirely on accident scrolling UA-cam. It was limelight, the first rush song I ever heard, this was second so it holds a special place in my heart too.
Love all your covers! It really helps with my playing. Can you tell me what two chords your playing at the 1:14 mark for that riff? For some reason I cannot get that riff at all.
I got to say this is the best cover I have ever seen on this. I know it is allot to ask but is there any chance of a tutorial? If you just covered the basic parts (less the harmonics) with a fast run through it would help me correct some of the parts I hacked in the past. I have started playing again (the electric after several years of just acoustic campfire stuff) and just want to do it correctly. Thank you for your consideration.
So how long have you been playing? You're very very good and i'm kinda jealous because I love Rush as well but can't really get most of their songs yet. I have only been playing for about a year though so I know I still have a long way to go.
boss micro br huh? cool, now, tell me how you synced the bounced, mixed down, mastered track with live video. or did you run the rush studio recording through the boss output to external speakers.
Jay Highstreet The guitar recording is just the isolated guitar, I mix this with the Rush track using Audacity and then mix the video (recorded with a webcam) and the Audacity audio using Windows Movie Maker
thank you for responding. you are using a headset are you not? to listen to the isolated track, with the rush track. is that why i dont see your face? so the only thing that is live is the video of you jamming along with the mixed tracks, using a headset....
Jay Highstreet I listen to the isolated track in one ear and the guitar from the BR through the other. you can't see the headphone lead in this video from the BR because I ran it up behind me. I record the webcams at the same time so it's all done live and mixed after.
This is excellent. I've been looking at the best way to play those harmonics and everything is crap but this nails that. What is even more impressive is the cheapness of the guitar relative to the quality of the playing.
Who is expected to replicate a guitar god's exact style? Not even Zakk Wylde can replicate Dimebag Darrel's style as well and they are both just as godly
I love how Geddy's tone is so badass that you can still very clearly hear it underneath two very loud guitars.
When talent actually existed before auto tune shit

Totally agree
Every time I listen to this song, the sudden change from the solo back to the riff at 3:45 always gets me. I love it
the little mistake at 3:50 makes the performance just more human
It actually looks like the video glitched out. I'm not so sure that it was actually a mistake.
As does pointing it out makes you more human, and me of course for same.
Excellent job my friend!
FABULOUS.
I recently started my own videos out of inspiration from watching you. Thanks for taking time and sharing your love for Rush.
very nice job! Sounds great and I like the multi-camera angle
An excellent job covering my favourite Rush tune.
Nailed it on the so-lo; sweet, man.
Keep them coming, Rushmaster! Thanks again!!!
Thanks :)
Without a doubt my favorite Rush guitar solo, made better by the fact that it was probably improvised on the spot in the studio.
So true man haha I love Alex
Nice. I'm liking these re-records you're doing.
You do such an amazing job. Thank you.
Thanks again :)
Nice job my man. Another great cover of one of my favourite bands. You do such great covers. Many thanks and just keep doing what you do..
Thanks a lot :)
Very very good! OH GHOD RUSH

Great cover !

Great job!!
thanks :)
God bless people like you.
yea tell me about it. Dont have to drive to a music store and pay to learn these Alex Lifeson chord progressions I call them.
Easy song, nice to play. ALEX LIFESON I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!
Your outfit looks like you're 18, your hands look like you're 45
Thanks, that was great!
Who would give this a thumb down???
Very nice and tight...(I play the very end on the bottom of the neck tho but w/e)
:)
Perfect
Great music!! And, a great prophecy - literally coming true before our eyes. Except, the reality is worse than the tragic story.
Can you do some test for echo stuff? Primarily Test for Echo, Driven, and Resist (maybe the Rush in Rio version)? Thanks.
4 dislikes??? I see 4 haters that wish they could play this but can't because they suck.
Nice job, man.
Love all your covers! It really helps with my playing. Can you tell me what two chords your playing at the 1:14 mark for that riff? For some reason I cannot get that riff at all.
it's just an F chord. I move my finger so I can hit the open lower E string
1:10 ahi empieza lo bueno

Stephen Desmond thanks, I don't think I'll get around to a tutorial, there's tabs for this song around the internet that may help
Make a cover of different strings
Haha, that's ok. It seems nobody else has either, I can't find many (almost none) covers fro TFE.

I've been playing for many years (off and on). I couldn't play much Rush after playing for a year either :)
Nice Version! What kind of guitar are you using? I can't tell if it's a Gibson.
Thanks, it's a Tokai love Rock guitar
+Blobblob22 Lawsuit guitars rock. :)

how do you split the audio signal?
the webcam is only producing video only, correct?
This is excellent. I've been looking at the best way to play those harmonics and everything is crap but this nails that. What is even more impressive is the cheapness of the guitar relative to the quality of the playing.
thanks :)
The harmonics are one of the easier parts to figure out my man...The solo always nails me...3/4 and just odd...
:D
how come no one ever thanks those of us who didn't leave any comments? unfair!
Thanks :) We should do a Rush collab again! Got anything in mind?
excuse me sir, what kind of guitar is that?
Tokai love rock
How about teaching these to us?
3:48...
Awesome! But I think the beginning was a tad fast I'm just saying
100% harminex played.
I should do one of these vids. I'll just say... nice try. But, there's a lot wrong with how you played it. Peace.
And yet, here I am still waiting to see your cover.
Short Tom lmao same
do you use a alternative paying source to receive so many likes?
Jay Highstreet no
donnt live moving the camera
really stiff, doesn't have the soul of the original
Let's hear your take.
