Elysian Shadows

I know there are some Rush fans on the board, so I want to know if there is a general interest in a play-along video (bass guitar) for this song.

One year ago I tried to learn this song and I could not get some parts nailed. These were in particular some of the bass solo licks, the breaks after the intro and it was a bit sloppy in general. Looks like I have to spend some time to learn these parts and to make a great video take of it. So please keep me motivated!

I am interested in anything and everything that is Rush.

Hell yeah, dude. The bass in that song is fucking amazing--I'm remembering my Guitar Hero 2 days...

Go Rush! :D

Go K-Bal! :D

Thanks I'll get the camera of my girlfriend tomorrow and see what I can do.

Nice one! Rush freaking rules =D

Also, you meant YYZ correct?

Oh, I've found a tab that was called XYZ But you're the expert.

It's definitely YYZ, it's the airport code for Toronto and the phrase "YYZ" in morse code makes several appearances throughout the song IIRC. Also, for the bass part, maybe this will help?

Hehe, thank you You really have to admire his playing, even more regarding that this is all recorded on tapes. No digital production cheating

I am filming :D but after playing the song several times my fingers start to limp I still hope to get a lucky shot today.

Okay, a first version. It's not perfect though

You can watch the embedded version but I recommend watching it here.
