                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We aren't forgetting the hammer-stroke are we?   Let me tell you,
properly executed by a bassist in his prime, wave bye-bye to your
toupe and THEN tell me it's not a percussive explosion of sound.  Also,
there's always col legno (striking the string with the stick instead
of the bow hair), there's spiccato which is a light 'off-the string'
sounding bouncing of the bow on the string which makes it sound like
you're striking the string with the hair, although properly executed,
the hair never quite leaves contact with the string, and lastly, there
are a few *actual* off-the-string bowing sound effects that are almost
like plucking the string with a quick pressure and flick of the bow or
an actual striking of the string with the bow hair.

Not to mention that the upper shoulders and ribs make a nice resonant
'bongo' sound when the urge to strike strikes me.  There....suitably
chastened yet?

<grin!> Mr. Seeger has a move he calls the "basic Strum" that -sounds- a
lot like frailing/clawhammer, but isn't....he also does a lot of free
picking. He -is- able to frail, but not well. His brother, Mike Seeger,
frails -quite- well.

But for the "classic" example, watch Grandpa Jones on "Hee-Haw." That boy
beats the h*** out of the banjo, and does VERY well at it.

Best frailer in the world, tho, (IMHO) is Jim Conner, of Alabama.

No sheet, the score is indeed about even, and we are in harmony, despite our

Organization: M.B. Cormier INC.
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 93 11:42:39 EST

The subject sums it up: the jam session for filkers (located in Ottawa)
is still on.

When: 17th January, from 1:30 to 5:00 pm.
Where: Dalhousie Community Centre, 755 Somerset Av., Ottawa
  (that's just east of Booth and a few blocks west of Bronson; any bus
   on the Transitway to Lebreton station and walk up Booth St., or the
   #2 bus right to the door; parking available).
Who: anyone who enjoys filk (or just singing!) from the Ottawa area,
  plus anyone who can come from out of town (especially Montreal or
  Toronto).  [N.B. ConSanity has been cancelled, so any filking plans
  associated with it are scratched too.]

It has been suggested that anyone who has favorite songs that he/she
would like to have sung should bring many copies of the words (unless,
of course, it's a "well-known" piece).  Many filkers don't read music -
yet.
If you have songbooks, musical instruments (not just guitars), etc.,
please bring them;  'twill be muchly appreciated.

If you want more info, just (R)eply to this post, or e-mail me.

This is a Fender Precision bass, Geddy chopped himself into that shape. 
He calls it the "teardrop" bass, for obvious reasons, and in a recent
Guitar World interview, regrets doing it, as it ruined the sound.
 
He used it during encores during the first couple of tours.

   There's one thing I've noticed hasn't been in this FAQ. I'm refering
to the fact that there's talking during the "battle" part of By-Tor and
the Snowdog. I've been able to make-out "Help me beat By-Tor," and towards
the end, "I am By-Tor." Has anyone else noticed this, and been able to
make out more than those two lines?

Are there any bass players on here?  If so, maybe you can help me out.
 
I can't seem to find much Rush transcribed for bass guitar.  And what
little I do find, isn't the songs I really, REALLY want to learn to play.
 
Is there anyone who either has the following, or can help me figure out
the following songs?
 
Different Strings
The Analog Kid
Distant Early Warning
Grand Designs
Marathon
Territories
Middletown Dreams
Emotion Detector
Mystic Rhythms
Force Ten
TIME STAND STILL (please?)
OPEN SECRETS (I LOVE this song!!!!)
The Pass
Available Light
Bravado
Ghost Of a Chance (another favorite, please help me get that one)
 
Any help would be appreciated..  Even if it's just some FTP sites.  But
those are some of my favorite Rush songs, and I'm usually good at figuring
stuff out that I like, but I think Geddy Lee is hard...  Beyond my ability
to listen to and figure out...  And since most of those songs have no
videos, I don't even have a reference.  Again, I'd appreciate any help..
Thanks in advance!!!!
