Rush: Closer to the Heart From the album A Show of Hands (Mercury Records) Copyright 1989 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart and Talbot Here are some takes on the _A Show of Hands_ rendition of "Closer to the Heart". From: Mario D'Alessio On "A Show of Hands", after playing "Closer to the Heart", Rush gets a little playful and just jam a bit. I'd like to know what Geddy is playing. I think part of it is something like this (I'm typing this up at work, without my bass): +-----------------------------------+ |*---------------------------------*| |*-3-3-3-3--------------------1-2--*| +----------3-3-3-3-1----1-1-3-------+ After repeating this a few times, Ged plays this fast, cool little solo part. How is this part played? I hope I made myself clear. Thanks.

How is this part played? Yikes. Can't help there. :( I'll try to sit down with it for a while and see if I can come up with something. Don D.
