This song is just excellent!! The producer was recording Geddy during some down time on set! Geddy was noodling on his new Jaco Pastorius fret less bass remastered by Fender! The producer freaks out and says “that’s a cool riff you got going there” so the jammed it later! Alex was out of town, but Neil was there with a 5 peice kit so Neil and Geddy wrote this little piece! When Alex got back he had to sit with a few days to get his part in there but he took care of that! Great story behind the song! Be well and God bless.. from Texas!!

Geddy has said on his book tour that months after the final Rush concert, Neil disconnected from the other guys to be a husband and dad but he was ticked off that no one told him how good his solo was. This is Neil Ellwood Peart, one of the three best drummers in the world STILL needed a pat on the back. If you have a chance, read Geddy's book if nothing else for the love story of his parents meeting and falling in love while in Auschwitz and backstage friendship of the three of them.

A big part of Geddy’s tone is just how slamming hard he hits the strings. Many bassists will buy the Geddy Lee signature Jazz bass and the same Geddy Lee Signature San Amp, the same round wound stings and still can’t get his sound because they don’t have the finger strength to kill those strings like Geddy does. He beats them like they owe him money. As far as I know, Geddy has always used round wound strings to get that bite. I think he is just so experienced on the bass, like an extension of his arm, that he has mastered the touch of sliding his hands up and down the neck without that screeching sound you’re talking about. I think that he just pushes down that hard on those strings while sliding. The screeching is from the round tips of the string causing the skin to skip up and down, but he is pushing down so hard on those strings that his fingertips don’t just lightly touch the string, so it can’t skip over the bumps of the round wound strings. There’s a reason he is considered the master of the bass. A true virtuoso. Even after years of playing and considered the best rock drummer in the world, Neil Peart still had the humility to go back to drum school under the tutelage of Jazz great Freddy Gruber. That was when he started changing up to traditional grip on certain songs and his solo. Neil noticed that Steve Smith from Journey had really I,proved his chops, so he asked Steve what he did and that’s when he told him about Gruber and Neil called Freddy and set up lessons. That’s when he began incorporated a lot Jazz into his playing. Neil is no doubt the best ever in rock music. He is another legend, as is Geddy and Alex. 2020 was a bad year, when it started off with the death of Neil, then all of the other crap that went around the globe, almost as if the entire earth mourned Neil’s passing. What a drummer, what a legend. He will be remembered a 1,000 years from now and I still doubt any other drummer will have stole his thunder. RIP to the professor. All Rush fans will know him by that title, the professor.

According to Neil, the drum lessons were not what you and I would consider drum lessons. It was more discussion and philosophy about drumming. In fact, they rarely touched the drum kit. Neil always felt his drumming was too robotic. Freddy in a nutshell stated drumming is like dancing, be able to glide freely and swing. It was around this time Neil would switch back and forth between match and traditional grips. From videos you also get the sense Neil seemed more loose and free on the drums. In regards to incorporating jazz as a result of Freddie's instruction, Neil always had jazz chops on the drums that you hear in many Rush song prior to Freddy Gruber, so I don't believe that's entirely true, however he does end his drum solos with a jazz ending. I don't know if Freddy had something to do with that.

I'm not a bass player but check out a pedal made by Tech 21, called the geddy lee pedal. Supposedly it's amazing. I think Tim Starce (amazing bassist) from the band YYNOT, who cover a bunch of Rush tunes rolls with that pedal
@RoarOfWolverine
@RoarOfWolverine 3 ай бұрын
@@louofm1 Tim is one of my favorite bass players in all tribute bands. He captures Geddy’s sound better than any other bass player. Tim really hits the strings hard too. That’s what you have to do, even if you have the Geddy signature Jazz Bass and Geddy’s direct box made by Sans Amps. Those are great pieces of equipment because Geddy does use those instruments, but even all of that doesn’t help if the bassist doesn’t murder those strings like Geddy does. I’ve never seen YYNOT live, but Tim Starce sounds the most like Geddy I’ve ever heard on recording. When I watch the live videos, I can see that’s Tim really plucks those strings hard and that’s the key to getting that bite that Geddy is known and loved for. I hope I get a chance to see YYNot live once. I got to see Rush live 32 times. Even that wasn’t enough to satisfy my need for Rush. Seeing them live is an awesome experience. No matter how many times I seen them, it was always just as exciting as the first time seeing them.

Now he is Jack Bruce, he is Leland Sklar, he is James Jamison, he is Jaco Pastorious..and what is there left to say about Neil...it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...

Xanadu live from the Exit Stage Left 1981 tour, and actually my personal favourite Neil Peart performance, was the 1994 Cottontail with Buddy Rich Big Band. He's wearing a black turtleneck sweater and no hat in this one, not to be confused with a few other similar titles years later, and is always wearing a head covering of some kind. I mean those are spectacular as well of course, but are different from the 1994 version.

I am glad you are enjoying your discovery of Rush. I think you may be on the verge of changing religions to the Church of Rush. Kirk Hammett of Metallica called them the High Priests of conceptual rock, and Geddy Lee wrote The Big Beautiful Book of Bass, which could be a bible of sorts for bassists. Keep listening and expanding your musical world. Thanks for sharing.

If you see more of Neil solos, you will start to understand that he spent his career learning new influences patterns and techniques and each concert. He would repeat some of those and add nuance and other new material to build upon what he had done before. In the late stages of his career after his tribute to Buddy Rich, he would always finish on the jazz Note, which was a highlight for me. Drum solos were bathroom breaks for other bands, but never for Rush fans.

Mr Peart was incredibly well rounded to say the very least but yes in addition to rock drumming he loved and respected the jazz and big band but his true love was the roots of African rhythms. However, he has never been a "fan" of anything.. He was an extremely complex and deep individual who analyzed studied and internalized EVERYTHING drumming he endeavored to understand until it was a natural part of him. He would never deliver a product until he had it mastered, that's why we were never disappointed. He also cared about our experience as the audience as much as his own gratification to the point of retiring so not to disappoint his fans. He was extremely intelligent and could have chosen any career to pursue and been just as successful but as a pure gift to us he chose to devote his life to music. He was indeed the professor on the drum kit and so so much more..

You'll get lots and lots of suggestions. One of the best bass moments comes in Driven from the Rush In Rio performance. I would also recommend (not for the bass, just for the overall awesome performance) of Secret Touch from the Snakes & Arrows Tour (live). Loving your reactions. At some point you should watch the documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage. There is a section from that called Dinner with Rush that other reactors have reacted to and that could be worth it, because you see just how unseriously they take most things (besides music, which they took very seriously). Geddy developed GAS very late in his career. He had a small handful of basses and usually had a primary one. It went from the Rickenbacker on early albums to the Fender Jazz and then an album/tour with a Steinberger, a couple albums with some Wal basses before returning to the jazz bass. Then he started collecting basses and played what looked like a different bass on every song for R40 (he didn't have quite that many). He wrote a coffee table book with incredible pictures called Geddy's Lee's Book of Big, Beautiful Bass.

From Amazon: “A treasure trove for any fan of the four-stringed (and occasionally more) instrument.” - Billboard "It's not surprising that sooner or later I'd dive down the proverbial rabbit hole into the world of vintage bass guitars."-Geddy Lee From Rush frontman Geddy Lee's personal collection of vintage electric bass guitars, dating from the 1950s to the 1980s, comes the definitive volume on the subject. Geddy's love of the bass has been nurtured over a lifetime spent in the limelight as one of the world's premier rock bassists. For the past seven years, he's dedicated himself to studying the history of the instrument that's been so essential to his career, collecting hundreds of basses from around the globe.

True story about this song Geddy just received a gift in the studio of a Jaco pastorius Bass and he couldn't resist himself to start playing it. The recording engineer thankfully recorded it and that was the foundation of this song

Geddy has always had his bass techs apply heaping amounts of Finger-Eaze to new strings before putting them on. Get as much on as possible, then take a towel and vigorously rub the strings, then put them on the instrument. Removes all squeaks. Skip Gildersleeve RIP.

I don't believe in "goats" or "Best ever" discussions because like bass, there are so many variables to what makes a great player. Neil is certainly one of them and one of my greatest influences. What he was also undeniably is one of the most influential. He makes my personal Mt. Rushmore of rock drummers, but again, it's only opinion and personal taste. But he isn't "the goat". There are things he can do that others can't and vice-versa. It all comes down to taste and what serves the music.

Yeah. It’s all about opinion. He may be someone’s favorite, but that doesn’t mean that he’s the greatest of all time because there is no greatest of all time. Neil is my personal favorite drummer (RIP), but he might not be for someone else.

Geddy uses round wound swing bass 66 from rotosound. He is using a Jaco Pastorius fretless jazz bass for this song.

Love the channel as always!!! Geddy's tone has been attributed to a super aggressive right hand. Geddy will sound like Geddy on almost anything. Neil! Yeah man! lol. Although, he admittedly didn't get a good swing feel until later in life. Such a talented and creative band! Post some of YOUR playing!! I can tell you're badass! Much love!

I know it as "Gear Aquisition Syndrome" as it isn't just guitarists/bassists who suffer from it. It's just a musician thing.
