Rush: Ghost Rider From the album Vapor Trails (Atlantic) Copyright 2002 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart Transcribed by Marcelo Nunes Any comments, questions, or corrections, please contact Marcelo at marcelopereiranunes@hotmail.com Last Updated 08-06-2004 -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- On this song, Geddy uses a simple and constant bass conduction, although he puts a lot of swing on it. To create his own mood, Geddy plays almost all of the song using only one finger. When he plays two strings at the same time, he picks both strings pulling them down to up, using his finger as if it was a guitar pick. Geddy makes some oberdubs using more than one bassline at the same time. I this transcription I have tryed yo put the main basslinefor each section although you may notice that some of these bass lines (specially the first riff) continues as other lines are played. This transcriptions was taken from Vapor Trails. On the live performance of Rush in Rio, Geddy changes some lines completely in order to fullfill some spaces left from the lack of overdubs. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- 00:00 Pack up all those ...
