How to play Bastille Day - Rush (Alex Lifeson). Guitar Lesson Tutorial.

[@aaronmarks1807]

I concur with everything you said about Caress. It is my favorite Rush album for sure and never will understand why it gets the bad rep. Thank you for the great lesson.

[@timculp4126]

I did my part. I bought it when it came out..been playing it ever since.

[@eddiejr540]

I still have it in the Archives 3 record set...Rush, Fly By Night and Caress....awesome stuff ain’t it!!!!!!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

I was only 11, but when I discovered Rush just a few short years later, I bought it as well.

[@harvesterofstorms4932]

Alex has always been one of my big guitar heroes. The first time my music teacher used the phrase “unorthodox” in a positive way was to describe his playing.

[@vincerap]

precise lesson and very easy to follow. I learned it in a short time, really. thank you very much teacher 😀😉

[@scottblanch274]

On this Bastille Day, I wish to thank you for such great detailed lesson, showing us how to use the magic to play this great song. Merci Beaucoup!

[@Randy-ul5hy]

Saw this and many other early Rush songs played live on their 2112 Tour in 1976. Lakeside Park was also played live on that Tour.

[@chrischiasson6877]

THANK YOU!!!! Best Bastille lesson on the internet!!! Perfect! Do more Rush please!

[@lino8leum]

HHMMM... Rush... Great lesson !😍🤘🤘

[@funkfan1751]

Great lesson. This song seems attainable. I want to learn some of the earlier Rush from the 1st album and some up to Fly By Night. Thanks for the great lesson!

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

BRILLIANT 👏 JOB.. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. EXTREMELY ACCURATE AND VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO..

[@wilhelmrogue1]

Beautiful guitar kda,, nice lesson..

[@guihermeborracha7412]

Man, why did it took so much time for youtube to suggest this channel? This is awesome! Subscribed. Now I just need to get job to have money to learn how to play guitar.

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks mate!

[@kingeagle5045]

Beautiful! Great video!

[@eddiejr540]

KDA...you really lit a fire under my tail with this one... I been brushing up on Xanadu this past weekend....rock on my brother!!!!!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks Larry! Good luck with it mate. Not enough classic Rush tutorials on KZbin. I've got the solos to Working Man coming up in the next week or so. First Solo is in the bag, still trying to pull apart and make some kind of sense of the very long and chaotic second solo. Will be a tough tutorial to pull off, but I'm determined.

[@eddiejr540]

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar ....sounds great... that one has been on my to do list for years, but I’ve always found an excuse...you know how it is!!!!!

[@jefflist863]

This riff is a great for practiceing alternative picking thanks

[@mathewbrown9371]

You have the best Rush lessons on KZbin; thanks for sharing your insight! Im subscribed now and I have to say, you're a great player with a great channel to match.

[@STSGuitar16]

Awesome lesson man. Learned most of it from your cover but decided to take it easy on myself after ten minutes of trying to pick out every note of that solo and came here for that lol. Lovethis album so much! Every single Lifeson part on those earlier tunes is some of the very most fun songs to play good and loud on guitar. I'm also a huge Dead Head and do a lot of Garcia-style mixolydian soloing pretty often, but this solo has definitely added in some really cool new mixo ideas for me to incorporate into that style of playing as well, so that's neat too. Thanks for taking the time and making this!

[@leemus1966]

Great lesson!! Thank you!

[@gonepickin990]

Caress of Steel is my favorite Rush album. "Bursting forth from rocky chains, the valley floods...with light"

[@wrzkace1]

Thank you. you teach very clearly. and easy to follow

[@Blues7412]

Thank you for making this tutorial. I just discovered you searching on this song and looks like a great channel.

[@danielkelley7769]

Good lesson and good job, the only difference I would do is back off that much dirt by backing down the guitar volume knob to about 8 on the song then turn volume knob to 10 on the solos, old school technique. Also helps to have treble bled mod to the guitar volume knob..

[@bryanpeterson1231]

Thanks a lot for this! Love Rush !!

[@theschooloflife8303]

Splendid job. Thanks for the effort.

[@Forgiven156]

I’m really glad you put Working man, and this one, thanks a lot 👍🏻

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

No problem 👍

[@NigelDempsey-h6k]

Just watched this. Love Rush, thought give it a go. Great help, bit hard in parts for a bedroom guitarist, but why not😮

[@timswanson9893]

Excellent!

[@marleyorange]

good lesson

[@raphaelargus2984]

Excellent.I had figured this out as a teenager 35 years ago and found out I only made a few tiny mistakes.

[@michaelcreel106]

Thanks! I'm enjoying working on learning the whole album (except for maybe the middle of The Necromancer).

[@lrm215]

Excellent

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@theanalogkid4171]

Outstanding lesson!! Can you do the Analog Kid please? ☺

[@coldroses5337]

I cut my teeth as a young player in 82 on ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE album. Appreciate this brother. Cheers 🍷

[@captaincripple280]

Would you please welcome home.....RUSH!

[@leekousek2112]

Thank you!

[@scottross9270]

excellent I sure would like to see a lesson on how to play In the End by Rush.

[@GavinSteiner]

I love the tone you're getting. Is that straight into the amp or what are you using?

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Little Blackstar ID Core 20 practice amp.

[@raybaumgardner]

Thanks for the lesson! How are you muting the high E string during the unison bends? Left or right hand?

[@bryanhubbard3276]

Would still love to see 2nd part off Working Man solo. Happening yes or no?

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Caress of steel guiotine claimed her bloody prize

[@RogerHolbrook-i6b]

Good lessons but waving your hands while talking is a distraction.

[@castanzes]

How about a singing lesson for this song? 🤣

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

God! Lol

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Groovy French so7nding Louis 17versa8lles

[@kendetulio4009]
