🎸 A Rush tune that’s all about feel
|
Hey Reader, This week we’re looking at “The Pass” by Rush. This is a moderate-level lesson, but don’t let that scare you off. A lot of the song sits in a comfortable place on the guitar, and once you get the feel of the changes, it starts to come together pretty naturally. What I like about this one is how much emotion is in the parts without needing anything overly flashy. It’s a good tune for working on clean chord movement, timing, and keeping the rhythm steady. Take it slow at first and let the song breathe a bit. That makes a big difference with Rush.

These are little "shortcuts" that many players overlook, but they can make a big difference. This lesson is especially helpful for beginners, but even intermediate players may pick up a few ideas to make their playing smoother. I also show how...
Hey Reader, This week’s lesson is Something for Nothing by Rush. If you enjoy digging into Rush songs, this one is a lot of fun to play. It has some great riffs, interesting chord movement, and that unmistakable Lifeson style that keeps things engaging without being overcomplicated. I’d put this lesson in the “all levels” category because there’s something here for everyone. More experienced players can work on the details and feel, while newer players can focus on the main rhythm parts and...
