MORE RUSH. Really enjoyed this one bro. Really got the "Zen" feeling. You can tell how connected to the music you are. It's not about learning the notes, it's about feeling the music and understanding the meaning and vibe of it. 100% lyrically poignant for the time without question. Alex is and has been one of my favorite players for decades. Most of what I enjoyed about this was YOUR connection to the music and your history with the song. Great formula here bro. Stay with this. We get the music and the Zen this way. It kind of has an early Rick Beato feel to it.

Lyrically poignent ftw!!! A meaningful comment to be sure. Loved your take dude. Remember, you loaned me all your Rush albums when I was growing up? It’s your fault. 😂 Thanks bro!

I remember when this song was released during my senior year in high school. It moved me because it nailed so well how I felt at my seventh high school in four years. No matter where I went, it was all the same insecurities turned into tribalism. I appreciate your honest share of what this song meant to you and of how to play it.

That 10 minute epic is one of my favorite Rush songs on any album. Side B is killer with that, Witch Hunt and Vital Signs…thats another sleeper that most people miss. Rahgah Rush!

Rush was one of my father's favorite bands so I grew up listening to it also. I think spirit of the radio is my favorite because it always puts a special nastalgia feeling of listening with him... can still picture me and him singing it together in the car 🥰🥺

Sounds like such a special memory! Thank you for sharing! It sounds like me and my daughter - she grew up listening to all Dad’s music in the car. Lol. She is a Limelight girl! She left Iceland today and is now in Scotland for a friend’s wedding. Who are your favorite bands now?

You should do more videos like this one, love hearing these stories... how people connect to the songs, what they were up to back in the day, etc. You're good at it. @PhantomF4 summed it up pretty well in his comment.

He's not sliding the whole chord at the outro of that solo, he's just reaching up to the c# with his little finger. Then he shifts up to the A chord with sus4.

RUSH is awesome. I only got to see RUSH live one time on the R40 tour. but it was amazing. They put on such a great live show. Every time i hear "Dont fear the reaper" reminds me of the movie Stoned Age. I dont think i could saywhat RUSH song or album is my favorite. They have so many great songs. Two songs that always stick out to me are Working man and the trees. But like i said they have so many great songs. I pre ordered one of the Alex Lifeson Epiphones last June 2021 but got and Email a few weeks ago that Epiphone will no longer offer the guitar. I wonder if it ended up costing more to make than the preorder cost and they scrapped it. Epiphone said it was a parts thing. Super Awesome video. The Rush stuff is always good.

Thank you! I really appreciate that. Wow, yes, The Trees is definitely a contender but like you said, so many great songs!! Very interesting about the Alex Lifeson Epiphone. I bet you’re right. I could totally see them doing something like that because of cost. What did you like most about that model and was it expensive? Thanks again.

@@guitarzen7080 When I pre ordered it was 899. I liked that it had all the options that his Gibsons have. I never got one. Sweetwater kept calling me with updates over the year or so saying oh Epiphone thinks by this date. and so on and so on until one day the sales rep called me and said Epiphone pulled the plug and they were not making any more. Just the ones that sold in the first month are what is out there.

I’ve always said Subdivisions is their greatest radio song. Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres is their all time best song overall.
