|  | On the TB leaderboard for low talent/gear ratios! | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: NJ | | | I'm nowhere near Geddy's level and was pretty intimidated by 2112. But once I started paying attention to it I realized that once you learn Movement 1 (Overture) you've already learned the basics of every other movement. It took me a while, but it wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it might be.

I can play it, but I wouldn't call it easy.
Limelight and Subdivisions are pretty simple. |

"Finding My Way" is a cool and easy Rush tune, although I think it should be mentioned that including Geddy's tone into the equation would make the whole Rush catalog pretty difficult. |

...pretty much anything off "Rush" (the album)
Far Cry
for a little bit of a challenge, check out "What You're Doing" off the self-titled album, great groove with some cool licks in there too  |

It's really one of the only things another bass player wrote that I learned all the way through, and most of my technique is built off what I learned through that song. And my thing is jazz. YYZ teaches good jazz technique, take it from me.
So you should learn YYZ! |

YYZ can get your chops up but easy it is not, especially trying to play it up to speed. |

Seriously, speed aside, YYZ IS one of Rush's easier tunes. Try some of the just plain wierd bass lines Geddy did in the '80s, like Big Money or Turn the Page. The way they mixed the albums alone makes 'em hard to hear, let alone play.
Entre Nous isn't bad at all, and Jacob's Ladder is pretty easy to get down if time changes aren't a problem for you.
