CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Good book on the best bass palyer in Rock!! But not perfect. -
THis is the best bass tab book of Geddy Lee's amazing playing available, because unfortunately due to the short sightedness of publishers it is the only one available.
It could be perfect except for two slight problems- One- as commented previously some of the positions are wrong. Not only are they wrong, but this book tabs everything as if Geddy plays a TON of open strings. I can tell you after seeing him live several times (and playing most of his lines myself) he does not play everything in the first position using open strings. A lot of his lines are playing in the 5th position in D Major and mixolydian.
The other slight problem is this has a lot of songs that just aren't Geddy's best bass playing like Cold Fire, And Dreamline.
I heard there is possibly a long overdue Volume 2 of Rush Bass lines coming but until that time, this remains your best (and only) bet.

Don't Attempt a Public Concert Based Solely on This Book -
Yep, if you can play this book, as cleanly and with Lee's tonal quality, you will be quite a bassist. But if you take just what's written and walk on stage with it, you might be embarrassed.
Having gone through some of the music, there are errors. Sure, many might not be noticed by the audience, but an error is an error. Notes are written in the wrong octave. For instance, at times, a sequence of notes are written in the same octave, whereas Lee is clearly playing those notes more as an arpeggio through a couple scale ranges.
Another example of fatal flaws can be seen in the ending measures of Tom Sawyer. I'm not sure where half the notes came from. Listen to the CD and vwala, you find you need to rewrite the music. Lee is not playing all that has been written there, and when it is what he's playing, it's out of sequence and/or not note for note. Try to play along, as I did, and you find you're playing two completely different things.
I recommend this book for anyone wanting to play bass at this level. If you can play this book, you belong in the studio; but again, don't think you are getting what Lee is really playing. You often are not. If it weren't for the fact that this book is a true challenge, I would give it 1 star for its inaccuracy to the real thing.
RUSH for dummies? -
This book is complete on every song in it. Has both the tab and staff notation. I do not know if this is common practice as most tab books I get do not have it. All in all a good buy for someone wanting to study RUSH and Geddy.
