I'm a drummer and have learned to play many Rush songs in their entirety
and parts of others. My absolute favorites to play (at the moment) include the following: La Villa Strangiato YYZ Jacob's Ladder Freewill Natural Science Digital Man Subdivisions Hemispheres Time and Motion A Passage to Bangkok Distant Early Warning I can also play some Pink Floyd, Tool, Dream Theater, Primus, and ELP songs. I especially like playing through the entire Animals album by Pink Floyd. I've actually only just recently started learning to play some Dream Theater songs, but I haven't really mastered any of them yet. When I'm not playing along to any particular songs, I'll usually just play some totally improvised rudimental exercises, and mix in some basic rock and jazz beats and try to incorporate different odd-time signatures and polyrhythms, and try to create a prog-like feel to it. Eventually I'd like to play in a prog rock or maybe experimental/art rock band. I just gotta start playing some jam sessions with other like-minded musicians. |

I can play the moog solo from Rush's Countdown - It's all white keys & pretty easy - which is why I can play it. I used to be able to play Dodo-Lurker from Genesis & I did a passable rendition of Long Distance Runaround - many years ago. Edited by A'swepe |

When I was in a prog metal band I played the guitar parts on: - King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man, and Indiscipline. Dream Theater - As I Am. Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift. I don't specifically learn songs anymore, unless a student asks to learn one, or I have to play one for a gig. I usually just concentrate on my own material these days. Garfo. |

A sad thread, because I used to play
All of these were at the limit of what I could tackle, so they had to be played regularly to keep them in shape. That was a long time ago. Then work and other things intervened, so now it would take several months of practice before being able to play them again. |
