rjay777 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Me and a buddy from another guitar forum collaborated on a few Rush tunes awhile back. Most of them didn't see the light of day. lol I thought I'd share this one though. Mix is borderline disastrous, but still fun to do. I'm playing the Les Paul through my DSL 401, cheapo bass direct, and my friend laid down the drum track. Our intent was to eventually record the entire song, but we put it on the shelf... well neither one of us were inclined to try to sing like Geddy. Not gonna happen. :-" http://h1.ripway.com/shredman/2112intro.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman5293 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hmmmm.................It's not working. But I got a question. How do insert the music player into your post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hey man, you got Lerxst's feel down for sure. Tones were good, playing was good--ya did good, man! I'd love to hear what else you've got. I'm sure a lot of us here would agree with that sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjay777 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 You dudes rock! I appreciate the kind words.... I didn't expect all of that. TMan, I just pasted the link from my Ripway account and it appeared. The Gibby board must have some auto player add on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canon_mutant Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Some of the better stuff I've heard on here. Good job. At one time, I could play the entire 20 minutes. Though considered "Progressive" I've always thought that the first 20 minutes of 2112 is simply the best metal ever. And as you know it keeps getting progressively better and in parts progressively tougher to play on from this part that you played all so well.

Andy R Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 OK How'd you do the Synth Stuff????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjay777 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 OK How'd you do the Synth Stuff????? That I didn't do. My friend Tommy who did the drums put the synth backing track on there. That's a good question...I'm not even sure how he synced that so well. The whole thing was basically a trial by fire. Apparently he did the whole drum track by memory (no click track or anything), and I played the guitar parts over it. I've jammed parts of the song a million times, but never recorded it, so I had to listen to the studio version a few times before I was comfortable doing the guitars and bass. Hence, the synth part is from the album so I can't really call it a cover. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
