Yes that is a great idea. Rush got me into guitar and bass. I threw the plectrum away and tried to blast along to Geddy Lee in the early days.
To be honest my enthusiasm and progress now comes fro playing in a covers band for the last 15 years. I have to be a jack of all trades. Most can be busked but there are some things that you HAVE to get right, Rhythm stick, watching the detectives, town called malice, who stuff etc ....
Floating my boat at the moment is Playing along to Spocks Beard. Not rocket science but plenty of changes and dynamics and tones.
I love Rush more than ever too.
