I did post a youtube vid of me singing Hemispheres. Not my problem you missed it chump. I hit the notes after hours of recording my own stuff with a tired voice.

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.

Thanks, pal , but I'm not digging that clip.

Sorry, but I'm not the one putting myself out there as having talent comparable to Geddy Lee.

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.

Do you have any youtube videos of Rush bass covers you have done? I would love to see them. Although I would not be able to give any real critique, as I usually just like guitar covers.

Yeah, Trenken talks a lot about his superior bass playing, guitar playing, singing and songwriting, but has never posted any links.

Ive been slaving away writing and album myself for the last 3 years. Doing it all myself on the Mac in Logic, and Ive made it a serious focus not to use power chords if I didnt need to. 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. And also trying to do interesting things with the guitar in the verses, not playing chords, but notes, effects, etc...

First a lot of people are going to be happy you took the time to make these tabs.

I just had a look at the Garden and while the chorus looks correct the verse is really just F F7 Bbsus2. I had it wrong and way more complicated when I first started picking it out too.

**av450** · July 4, 2012

This thread inspired me to tab wish them well. It's waiting to be approved so I don't know how long it will take but, I think i tabbed it somewhat right. Edited July 4, 2012 by av450

Lots of errors in that one, and they were ones I expected to see. I'll post a more accurate tab a little later. I haven't looked at the other songs yet.

EDIT: I just saw his disclaimer that it's "a first draft, and some of the chords aren't quite right."

I appreciate it very much, thanks for doing it. They've already been a great help.

Just one thing I noticed, because I've been watching the bass covers of these songs people have put on Youtube, is that on the Headlong Flight tab, at the end of the intro section, you say to go to the 15th fret on the E string - and I'm not saying you're wrong because I don't know which is right - but on every cover video I've seen, they always move down the neck somewhere at that point, not up it.

Here is the wish them well tab. I can hear somethings that are a bit off now, but it's close.

They go down to the 10th fret on the A string, which is the same note as 15 on E. I find it easier to keep my hand in one spot and just move my fingers between strings, but it seems like many others prefer to shift down. But both are the same note so whatever works for you best is fine.

I'm actually quite curious to see how Geddy will play it live.

**Shreddy Lee** · July 5, 2012

Ah, I see. I never could tell exactly what fret they were going to (another reason I still wanted the tabs so much) but that makes sense.

I had a lot of fun with The Anarchist today, thanks to your tab. I've got the first minute of the song down pretty well now. This is probably the most fun song I've tried to learn so far.

I just had a look at the Garden and while the chorus looks correct the verse is really just F F7 Bbsus2. I had it wrong and way more complicated when I first started picking it out too.

I am not much of a guitarist, so this may be useful to others who also aren't . . . ha.

Anyway, I have a hard time holding the barre for that long during the verse and getting good sound on all the strings, to allow it that nicely jangly sound that Alex does there. (Could he be tuning down a half step, to allow him to play open strings?) So, instead, I place a capo on the first fret, then

change this part

E|-1--1-1-------6--6-6-------6--6-6----1-1--1-|

B|-1--1-1-------6--6-6-------6--6-6----1-1--1-|

G|-2--2-2-------8--8-8-------6--6-6----2-2--2-|

D|-3--3-3-------8--8-8-------8--8-8----3-3--3-|

A|-3--3-3-------3--3-3-------1--1-1----3-3--3-|

E|-1--1-1-------1--1-1-------1--1-1----1-1--1-|

So, you can just leave your finger that's on G|-2- in the same place, and move the other two down one at a time as the chord changes.

and then Change this part

I'm glad nobody listed the Rush Tableture project. Some of the tabs on that site clearly haven't been looked at. I looked at the Caravan tabs and knew they were wrong. I played it and cringed.

I really hope Seven Cities gets tabbed for guitar. I would love to know what the chords are for the chorus.

Thank you! I've been working on this one for a week. I knew the tabs posted weren't quite right.....

I tabbed out The Wreckers for TuxGuitar if anyone would like that. It's in their format but I think I can save it as a gtr3 or 4 file.

**Shreddy Lee** · July 8, 2012

Well I haven't been able to put my bass down the past few days as I keep wanting to play The Anarchist over and over and over. I've just about got the whole song, only need to put some more work into the parts before and during the guitar solo. So fun. I'd only tried getting down easier parts than this in the past, so learning it has also helped me get a bit better I think.

**Jomboni** · July 8, 2012

Wow, Headlong Flight was a bad choice of a song to try to learn after not touching my bass for 2 months. Ouch!
