[The Owl]

A song an old friend of mine wrote years ago (used to play it live with him). Here's my updated version of my friend's song.

It’s just one that’s so classy and always a kick to play anytime. I groove on it just about every other day.

One more. Randy Meisner is so underrated as a bassist. I love Pla with this riff on the intro. “One of These Nights”. I badgered my former classic rock band to finally learn it.

Now swap! Play YYZ with a pick and finger Roundabout!
I learned YYZ with a pick and blew the drummer I was playing with at the time. He was messing the song up marveling. The accuracy with the pick… I’ll never play it finger-style again.

Sacrilege!!! Play a Geddy bass-line with a pick…. Say it ain’t so


JK, I can play with a pick or my fingers and actually play Roundabout way more often with my fingers, It’s just super fun to play that way. I don’t think I ever played a Rush tune with a pick I’m guessing I subconsciously know it would lack the heavy hitting monster tone from diggin in “Geddy style” BUT I think I am goin to have to give it a go later tonight.
