LyndseyG Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Well done TheY2k! You definitely seem to be enjoying yourself! I've learnt CTTH on my ocarina yesterday. Just Geddy's singing part mind you and now I'm working on Panacea. I've been figuring it out by ear. I've got a piano iPhone app that allows me to work out the notes and then it's a matter of transcribing it into oc tabs.

nicole Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 QUOTE (TheY2k @ Aug 17 2011, 11:57 PM) After seeing them, listening, and honestly making them as close to a religion as a man could I'm stuck. I love rush and there the only reason I started playing the guitar and bass. Alex knows it, Geddy knows it, and I know it. I feel so much pressure playing rush though, I stress out so much while playing it. I mean I love playing it sometime I ask myself what If you never learned, you could just rock out like everyone else. But then I yell back, "you do have fun! You enjoy it" if it was not for Alex's amazing solos I could do it's just the solos and the magic he does on spirit of the radios intro. I'm not in a band but I wish I was honestly. So can anyone relate to my argument between myself? Do any of you struggle and get frustrated to the point you just quit midsong while learning it? Granted these are what I can play (solos and everything) 2112 overture/temple of syrinx Far cry Closer to the heart Tom Sawyer Good News First (without solos) Bastille Day Something For Nothing Working man Summertime blues Limelight Fly by Night Spirit of Radio(defently not ontime with the intro) YYZ A Farewell To Kings The Trees Passage to bangcock Cygnus x-1 ANY ADVICE? i've played guitar on and off all my life..but when i got into classic rock when i came to canada i fell for Rush and the sound of Lifesons tones and abilities.. i get frustrated alot too. i play what i can and what i want to play by the band. its not always easy but it can lead to your own style, all the frustrating times, practise sessions. ive jammed with people but some of them just want to party and not really get into the music or push their limits artistically. well i love to party too but there's a time for it..and when i play guitar..i take it seriously enough that i dont want to get wasted while i do it.. so yeah, creativity and expression can be totally frustrating! you arent alone!! turn it up..smash out a few chords.....refocus and play it again, sam!!

go2wrk@95974 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yeah, keep practicing..find your own style and sound. Learn as many chord's and scale's as you can..just try to get as many different sounds as you can from the fret board. Bend those strings,if you play lead.Do finger exercises to strengthen your finger's , and quicken your speed.. that's very important.Using your pinky finger is very important, if you play lead..That's what I've done in the past..Keep playin' all the frickin' time..dedication to the key to it all. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
