Yesterday I saw rush playing live!! Incredible show, now I need to learn some geddy bass lines.
I want some recomendations, but the bass line should be technical but also have usefull licks, phrasing, and technique for the style of music I play...
I am really into Jaco fingertyle funk stuff ( come o come over or barbary coast), Rocco Prestia (what is hip, fingeertyle funk, so much oil on the ground), Paul Denman (any sade bass line), bossa nova, and straight 8ts rock.
I want to learn a Geddy bass line that would match with the style of music I play in phrasing and feel. I love rocco prestia style of playing-precise and hard.
Thanks!

Malignant Narcissism. (Which he actually plays on a Jaco Fretless tribute.)

Show Don't Tell.

Leave That Thing Alone. (A very funky instrumental that I think you'd love, they played it live. It's the one with the weird backround movie of the two creatures with polka dots dancing like Bob and Larry from Veggie Tales. I got chills watching that one with how Geddy played. )

"Show Don't Tell" has some cool stuff in it. A little more funky. "La Villa Strangiato" at about the 6 min mark there is some cool stuff. My personal favorite would have to be "Anthem" though. Totally rocks!!!

Vital Signs or Red Barchetta.

Prime Mover off Hold Your Fire. Very overlooked, some seriously sick licks in there, especially towards the end.

Or Leave That Thing Alone, especially the live versions.

Red Barchetta and A Farewell to Kings are two good ones
