  1. I've had this Rush live, at the Capitol Theatre, on my MP3 player for quite some time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrBWZscNR18 It was from their 1976 "Caress of Steel" tour. Raw "in your face" rock . I saw this show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They were the only band on the ticket.
  2. You know – the first thing I thought was that it sounded like a Ric. The bass in the recording has a honk to it that is prevalent in Ric’s.
  3. I had a pretty good jazz teacher for a year or two and through him I learned that a walking jazz bassline boils down to knowing these three things: 1. Chord tones 2. Scale tones 3. Passing tones This is by no means a comprehensive formula but the general rules for a simple walking bassline are: 1. Play a chord tone on the one 2. Play a scale tone on the two and three 3. Play a passing tone on the four 4. Improvise and repeat 1 through 3 as necessary
