As a teenager, Rush’s music was one of the first that made me want to play. You will be missed.

Love me some sonic blue.

One of my favorite ways to practice is to put it on a station that shuffles the songs, in other words make it so I don't know which song is next. I do this on Pandora, or some other medium where I'm sure I don't already know the material. Then I try to play along, figuring the bass lines out in...

I can't recall if it was from an online post or from a video, but I was told that the modified butterfly allows them to export to other markets which were previously unavailable to them. From was was said, abalone was not allowed for import to certain places in the world. The new logo lets them...

Would it help if someone else counted the song off? Just to set the tempo correctly from the start?

Amen to the all-tube suggestions. Character for days...
