Gilbertk Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I tabbed out Caravan and BU2B for bass way back when they first came out, and the bass parts haven't changed at all except for different mixing and effects. I also tabbed out Headlong Flight and just submitted, hopefully it will be approved soon. Right now I'm working on The Anarchist and Clockwork Angels (for bass of course). Anyone else started learning and/or tabbing for guitar or bass? I have no idea how drum tabs work, but has anyone at least started learning the songs off the new album? My Caravan bass tab: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/rush/caravan_ver2_btab.htm BU2B: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/rush/bu2b_btab.htm I will post the rest when they are approved for the site. And just a note, my username on UG is Jasonbts, but yeah it's me. That username is just a nod to the Bourne series.

GeddPratLerxst Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I figured out the Headlong Flight guitar part and actually recently performed it with my band live (hopefully I'll be getting a video soon). I would tab it out, but I am way to lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shreddy Lee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've been looking all over the place for bass tabs of the new songs ever since they came out, and have so far not found any. So I'm very glad to hear that you're working on some of them and can't wait to see them posted - I'll be eagerly awaiting them. Especially The Anarchist. Thank you! I'm surprised there aren't even tabs for Headlong Flight out there yet, since it's been out a while longer than the album. I expected tabs would be out for this stuff pretty quickly, but I guess not. Hell, I can't even find bass tabs for Primus' latest album, which came out almost a year ago now, and considering that it's Primus, I'd have thought the tabbing community would have been all over it. But they let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av450 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Does anyone know if/when they will release tab book for CA? I have the snakes and arrows one so I'm assuming they release one for each album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tabbed all but the last 2 minutes when the song first came out then got extremely busy and just the other day remembered to finish it. It too is waiting for approval! Next up, Carnies and Clockwork Angels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default236 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I transcribed the first four tracks, HF, Wreckers, Wish Them Well, 7 Cities Of Gold, The Garden, and I'm working on Carnies. Don't really care too much for Halo Effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing the others that you mentioned would be posted soon. I don't know how to write tabs, so I really appreciate those who do. As far as the new cd , I think I pretty much have Halo and Garden figured out on bass. 2 Very pretty songs. I have the basic idea of the bass for the title track and 7 Cities. I have not had a lot of time to sit down and work with them. It seems to me that these songs are not too technical , but seem pretty complex in spots. The title track seems to have a lot going on, but I think once I can get all the patterns down , it shouldn't be too bad. Overall, I look forward to sitting down with this new music and trying to figure them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they let me down. You shouldn't need tabs. Most of the bass is pretty up front in the mix so you can just hear the notes. And he isnt playing anything too fast or complex to make it difficult to learn by ear. Everything on here should be easy to pick up by ear and just memorizing the notes. That 2nd little bass solo in YYZ, yeah I get why you would need tabs for that, but there is nothing even remotely close to that on this album.

I only really use them on melodic choruses sometimes, or some here and there in other parts but trying to avoid them because when I use them they sound so generic. Actually Im really loving using dissonant chords in some of the heavier songs because its so different sounding, something Alex doesnt do for some reason.

I just assumed knowing Rush is an old band and many musicians that follow them are older and very experienced, so learning anything on this album would be easy for them. The album just came out, if you really need tabs it will take some time. They arent Metallica with a trillion fans in the world tabbing everything they do the instant it's released. It takes more time with new Rush. But just as some friendly advice you really should try to learn the songs without tabs. None of the bass in any of these songs is that difficult and it really helps you get better by learning the notes by ear, not relying on numbers. Try it, it will help you get better much faster than resorting to tabs. Only use tabs for stuff that's too hard to hear, but the bass is pretty upfront on this album and none of it is too fast to pick up each note.

Not my problem you missed it chump. I hit the notes after hours of recording my own stuff with a tired voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eljJsLYbKjI I f**k up some notes in there from worn out vocals, but I can point you to some youtube vids of Geddy on the Hemispheres tour sounding far worse than what I recorded there if you like. On a Rush board where everyone sucks their cocks all day noone can be good at anything without being labelled as arrogant. The only people that say that are the ones that suck. f***ing hater. I guess if you cant sing their toughest stuff or play bass as good then you just hate on those that can, and Im a far better bassist than I am a singer.
