I have a theory. I don't think this guy is even human. And those aren't masks behind him, those are heads of bassist enemies he has conquered from all across the universe with his thunderous bass skills🙌🙌🙌🙌🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wonderful. I have a Alvarez 4 string solid body. I used to be a guitarist before I crashed my red barchetta n became a bassist. I had lost feeling in my fingers coz of a fractured neck. I never got surgery but I got good at bass. I sold all my guitars over time ... 21 of them...but I kept the bass. I came to work on my old 2 stroke today listening to moving pictures. I'll be heading home early just to play my bass.
Pretty sure this album is when he switched to the Jazz which tend to have a unique sound also, a big part of it though is his right hand technique that gives that resemblance
As a kid I had no idea that normal every day people could play songs like this on the bass (I led a sheltered farm life in the 70's/80's) and a friends brother was out of prison for a short stint and he could play this song and came to the farm once and I put the song on and he tuned my JC Penny Catalog bass and proceeded to play the entire song. I made him play it 2 more times and studied his fingers and when he left I spent the rest of the night recreating what he had played. BLEW MY MIND that anyone could play this song. Such a life changing few hours.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to share such a cool story. One question, was he "in" prison for a short sting, or "out" of prison for a short stint?
YAYYY!!! Happy Birthday to my UA-cam bass hero!! Hope you have a great day and hearing you play this makes me just want to play my bass all day long :D This was the first Rush song (and the first song) I ever learned on bass. It's the only song I can remember how to play too...learned it incorrectly of course. You play it perfectly as always! That bass sounds freaking amazing too!
ha ha nice one...these guys talking about the Wal...that's all cool...personally I saw this tour and the grace under pressure tour, and he was using the Steinberger on that tour...I've wanted one of those ever since that night...
Damn! I'm a drummer and I can't quit watching these videos, you're even more impressed seeing this, so many notes but it doesn't seem like Geddy is ever overplaying and then he's singing and playing peddles...Incredible
@@TJH3113 Geddy is truly amazing. Thank you for using your talent to display one of the world's greatest bass talents (my personal favorite). I remember being a teenager and the highlight of my years (into my 30's) was getting to squeeze my way up to front row to watch him in awe do what he does (and what you do so beautifully). I'd still squeeze my way up there if there was another opportunity. Thankfully you've posted all your AWESOME videos, your tributes to great bass lines, so I can watch them. Geddy introduced me to hearing and appreciating the wonderful world of bass. Thank you for carrying the torch and doing your part in playing some of the most awesome bass lines ever (from Ged, Chris Squire, John Paul Jones, Paul McCartney and even John Taylor) and recording them to inspire future bass players. I truly love your channel and have watched it hours on end. Wonderful job and thank you!
Thanks. For some reason, I got the feeling he just wanted to see an updated version of the song...I hope so anyway. I don't think the Wal really suits this material very well.
He also has an actual Wal bass that he was gracious enough to let me play at a guitar show where he was with the guys from the zero mod thumbrest outfit. It's the red one he's using in a few of these clips a really superb instrument and the only one I've seen.
Amazing cover. I discovered your Chanel last year and I can't stop loving it! I dont look at the name of the songs anymore, I know every video you do is awesome bass playing. I'm so jealous of your playing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This made my day!!!Fantastic as always! This one holds a special place in my heart since it is the first Rush song I ever learned to play. It's such a fun and playful piece.
I've gotten a lot of practice time during quarantine. I couldn't imagine playing a song of this difficulty in March, but you're video helped immensely. This is my favorite Rush song, even more so now that I can play it. Ty for the awesome videos!
Well that's a good thing! Great to hear that you made so much progress. Many hours of practice is really the only way to get that to happen and I'm glad you applied yourself. Keep it up!
This might be my favorite Rush tune. I love the gaffs... the facial expressions are enough to make the video. Happy birthday and thanks as always for posting! (P.S. Sean's stuff is great. Thanks for leading me there.)
Had this in my head while making breakfast today but it wasn't Rush I wanted to hear - it was Troy. It's now 07:40 and I'm very happy!! Epic rendition!!
I just found your great channel! I'm surprised how many people say this is their favorite Rush tune. It's one of my all time faves for sure! Thank you!
Discovered your page tonight.. been watching for over an hour.. haha. you're a great player and you got a new fan my friend. in all the right videos I've watched, you keep looking over to your right side.. what's over there!lol Also, totally dig the horror mask collection, been checking out death studios after you mentioned it. keep making awesome bass covers ..
Welcome Cory and thanks. Actually, I have a habit of trying to look everywhere except at the camera while trying not to focus on any "one" thing that might cause me to lose concentration... if that makes any sense.
I mean it's John good because the bass sounds awesome on it's own but to give this badass crunchy single pickup tone you can see clearly how much it takes from right hand in every single note. This is great bass shit!
AWESOME. That bass suits this song so darn well too! My 2nd favorite Rush song and you nailed it again. Your videos helped inspire me to do bass cover videos of my own, happy birthday Troy.
Happy B-Day Troy! Yet another great cover. I do try to play Barchetta and this vid is a clinic. Like how you insert the changes Geddy makes when he plays it live.. I do that too..
I have a theory. I don't think this guy is even human. And those aren't masks behind him, those are heads of bassist enemies he has conquered from all across the universe with his thunderous bass skills🙌🙌🙌🙌🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha... my middle name is Rolex.
@@TJH3113 🤣🙌🙌👽
It becomes even more incredible to imagine that Gedy played and sang at the same time.
Tell me about it!
At 4:05 I just shook my head....unplugged my bass....and switched off the amp.
Don't do that!
Gotta keep on learning m8
Boy!! Do I understand!!!!😳
so the real question I have is…. How in the F#*K does Geddy Lee sing while he's playing this line. Amazing.
kayak1965 I've been wondering that for 35 years!
Just watched it again. Damn. So many ghost notes. Such an amazing bass line.
kayak1965 this guy is good, no question. Best Rush bass covers I've seen.
Don't forget playing keyboard with his feet...
He is an alien from other galaxie.
Wonderful. I have a Alvarez 4 string solid body. I used to be a guitarist before I crashed my red barchetta n became a bassist. I had lost feeling in my fingers coz of a fractured neck. I never got surgery but I got good at bass. I sold all my guitars over time ... 21 of them...but I kept the bass. I came to work on my old 2 stroke today listening to moving pictures. I'll be heading home early just to play my bass.
Very cool. I'm sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you're still playing. I hope the engine repair went well.
Will always be one of my favourite Rush songs.
Wonderful to hear. I hope you liked it.
Will always be forever a RUSH fan...Neil will always be remembered!
So fun!
Thanks for sharing this, a long time ago, in a universe..... well, you know.
I have a good feeling about this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
God Lee are a alien.
Amazing Bass Lines in and a scary independence in play Bass , keyboards and vocals .
Incredible.
Truth!
RUSH is just too kick ass. The greatest band in History.
Thanks.
Sound is spot on buddy. Smiling.
Happy Birthday Troy. Thank you for all the great Videos that you do. I hope you have a Great B-Day!
Cheers!
Thanks.
just on the money as always. Happy birthday .
Thanks.
Dang, it's not even a rickenbacker and it's got a close sound. Great cover by the way, always happy to see you play anything!
Thanks.
Kreaper Geddy recorded this on a jazz I'm quite sure.
@@Peterickenbacker1 whichever bass Ged used, this bass Mr Hughes is playing done a great job on replicating the tone
@@DannyBoi2112 100%
Pretty sure this album is when he switched to the Jazz which tend to have a unique sound also, a big part of it though is his right hand technique that gives that resemblance
Happy Birthday to Neal and Troy!
Thank you.

I just threw my bass in the trash! Thanks a lot! Just kidding..........great job
Oh man, this song makes me wanna drive in my car REAL FAST! Even the slower note part has the same effect.
What a beautiful bass and bass cover
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you.
Happy Birthday Troy. You did a fine job. Enjoy your day. You debt is paid in full. Ha! Rush on my friend Rush on!
Thanks a lot Sean.
Really nice bends. So much fun to watch.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely brilliant.
Thanks.

Man, you will be the reason I start to play bass. Awesome videos!
You're a humble god. Very impressive.
Yup. Another great one, Troy!
Thanks.
Flawless as always. Cheers! Chris.
Thanks so much.
Happy Birthday!!
Thanks.
Happy birthday!
Thanks.
You, me, and Neil all share the same birthday! Epic cover man!
Awesome! Thanks!
Nicely done sir. A treat to watch
Thank you kindly!

Excellent. Happy Birthday, Troy! {and Neil} I agree with the other guy in the comments, I think Sean wanted you to do the song with the Wal :)
Thanks. For some reason, I got the feeling he just wanted to see an updated version of the song...I hope so anyway. I don't think the Wal really suits this material very well.

When he does the song 'lessons' is so amazing, my favorite.
Cool!
Thank you for making that video
greatness
thanks
Just found you, thank God. Great work sir!
Welcome and thanks.
You, Sir, are simply awesome. Thank you for all of your posts!
Effin' incredible.
Thanks a lot.
That section during the guitar solo sounds wicked! Great job!
It's a great bass line, isn't it? Thank you.
You make it look so easy! Good show!
Thanks.

Troy I have been watching you and learning to be a better bassist but I must say you are so awesome. Thank you for helping me
Thank you for the very kind words.
Fantastic tone and execution!
Thank you very much.
Happy Birthday Troy. Hope your having an awesome day. Awesome playing once again. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks.

I love how doing this cover was part of the sale agreement. One of my fav Rush songs
I'm a man of my word.
Sounds so good. Well done.
Thank you very much Jack.
Love it!
So glad! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks a lot Ben. I guess that's how I look when I'm playing more for enjoyment as opposed to playing for a "perfect" take.
Looks fun to play, Very busy active bass song.
Yes, definitely.
Happy birthday you legend! Great cover.
Haha...Thanks.
Happy Birthday Neil and to you as well Troy! And awesome job on the strings as well.
Thanks.
Dang, bro. This one is tough. Great job!
Thanks David!

Faultless cover sir.
Thanks a lot.
you don't ever leave out a note. RIPPIN' cover....

I try not to. Thanks.

Thanks a lot.
AMAZING!!!!

Happy Birthday, Troy! Thanks for sharing this excellent Rush cover. I loved it when they played this live.
Thanks.
By far the best Rush bass covers on all of UA-cam. Fantastic stuff
Thanks so much Oscar!
Congrats, man. It is always a pleasure to watch new video of yours pumping out my youtube account.
Thank you very much.
better each time I see it.
thanks, Troy!
Enjoy your day young it's all yours stay blessed!
Thanks, I'll try. You too.
Great job! I’ve always loved this song, no matter how many times I hear it, it always makes me feel good inside.
Thank you. That's great to hear.
Enjoy your day..geeez,wonderful job on the four strings as usual..thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot.
Happy birthday Troy!
Another great Rush cover!
Thanks.
Happy Birthday! Well done. Thank you for another great cover.
Thanks.
This Guild Bass sounds amazing is so middy, has the perfect tone for rock, one of the best rock sounds i heard in a long time for sure.
I really like them a lot. To me, they sound like the best of a Ric and a Precision combined.
@@TJH3113 yeah, exactly! that's it. My two favourite bass sounds combined!
Discovered your page tonight.. been watching for over an hour.. haha. you're a great player and you got a new fan my friend. in all the right videos I've watched, you keep looking over to your right side.. what's over there!lol Also, totally dig the horror mask collection, been checking out death studios after you mentioned it. keep making awesome bass covers ..

Bravo! Wow.
Thanks.
Very nice, the playing and tone sounded exact to me
Thanks.
Perfect! And happy birthday!
Thanks a lot.
Mind blown. Awesome as always Troy.
Thanks a lot.
Man, i never tired to listen your cover! What a song, the last 30 seconds are AWESOME! Keep it up!
Thanks.
Happy Birthday Troy!!
I really enjoyed this a lot!
Thanks.
Excellent! Awesome tone on your Guild bass, Troy!
This one of my all time Rush favorites! Especially when driving my car. Awesome job covering it!
Cool. Thanks Steph.
This sounds like John Entwistle good playing Rush in an perfect fine instrument. Damn!
I mean it's John good because the bass sounds awesome on it's own but to give this badass crunchy single pickup tone you can see clearly how much it takes from right hand in every single note. This is great bass shit!
Thanks a lot. I'll take that as a compliment.
Happy Bass day Troy! :)
I see what you did there. Thanks.
Your covers are always spot on and awesome!
Thank you very much!
Along with Tim Starace, you sir are one of the best when it comes to Rush covers. Amazing!
Thank you for the very kind words. Tim stopped over for a visit a couple of weeks ago.
sublime , just brilliant , tone , timing , the whole groove , luv your playing
Thank you very much.
Happy Birthday Troy! Your covers are a gift :)
Thanks...as is your comment.
Sir, your right hand technique is killer!
Thanks, I'm glad you think so.
Happy Birthday to you Troy! Great as usual! :)
Thanks...as usual.
Nailed it!
Thanks.
AWESOME. That bass suits this song so darn well too! My 2nd favorite Rush song and you nailed it again. Your videos helped inspire me to do bass cover videos of my own, happy birthday Troy.
Thanks. I think this bass does a nice job on the Rush stuff too.
You seem to have so much fun when the dynamics intensify, you're awesome! Happy B-day Troy!
Thanks. As I said to Ben, below, ""I guess that's how I look when I'm playing more for enjoyment as opposed to playing for a "perfect" take.
Well done, Sir. ☺
Thank you.
super well done,Bravo!I like at the end when you continued to play without music,that's EPIC!
AWESOME MAN !
Thanks again, Eduardo!!
My favorite Rush song. So fun to play on the bass.
Cool and yes it is.
Happy B-Day Troy! Yet another great cover. I do try to play Barchetta and this vid is a clinic. Like how you insert the changes Geddy makes when he plays it live.. I do that too..
Thanks a lot.
