Great Bassline among many great Geddy basslines!

What a talent.

That song has actually been a small project for me in the past week. I opened it on Power Tab/Guitar Pro, whatever, slowed it down, and am learning every little note/style that is played. I'm doing really good, not too far away from the original tempo.

It took me so freaking long to learn that bassline. I still can't always hit every solo break correctly, but I just keep practicing. It's really, really hard to get the feel of the song right . . .

In the beginning when the guitar and bass are in unison, my fingers get a little tripped up and jumbled sometimes. When the guitar part and bass part become seperate, that parts a little easier.

What type of bass Geddy is using for the song?
OMG I wish I can get that tone out of my P bass.

It's a Wal... about as far from a P in tone IMO. Try LOTS of mids and LOTS of compression.

I love every aspect of that song except the keys. Geddy should've stuck to bass for this one.

If the keys werent in some of those parts It'd sound bare and plain.

Of all the YYZ versions I´ve heard, this one with the Wal sound has always been my favourite. The sound is soooo articulated and defined that I love it.

I just got my 4 disc collection "Replay x 3" and been watching it a lot.

Here is a poll that rates this as the greatest bass performances: http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/page..._bassperf.html

they also rate a whole bunch of stuff like Guitarists, bassists, etc.. kinda cool.
