It may not come as a huge surprise, but Ian Allison has recently turned into a massive Geddy Lee nerd. As bassist and frontman for legendary progressive-rock pioneers Rush, Geddy created some of music’s most iconic basslines, and in today’s video we’re going to break down their eighth studio album, Moving Pictures.
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott 🙂

Ian – your HX patch sounds really great! One of my favorite albums, right up there i the top 5. Glad you love Vital Signs too, it is a great. Alex took a lot of inspiration for his effects from Andy Summers.
the camera eye is rush's best song
Saw rush tours in L.A. farewell to kings thru signals … the jazz bass entered on permanent waves
There are only 2 greatest bass players and in order geddy lee then les claypool
Geddy é fantástico, tive o prazer de ver o Rush, no Brasil , fantástico.
Does anyone know if this HX Stomp preset is available for download anywhere?
Ian why am I finding this video just now? Awesome playing and from a fellow Rush nerd keep the good stuff coming. See ya at guitar summit maybe, again? Anyway kudos!
For those wondering, although in the Tom Sawyer video Geddy is playing a rick, he actually played a Fender in the studio version. Even though this video showed him in the studio.
I love the band, seen the 12 times live starting with the permanent waves tour. Moving Pictures is a great album, but whenever someone talks about it being their best, or in this case being a top Bass album. So strange, and my first thought is 'this is a casual fan'. SOOOO many of their albums have far superior bass lines, even Geddy said so. Geddy claimed he didnt really like Tom Sawyer, it was too simple. Red Barchetta has a great bass line as does YYZ, but this is the first time I've heard someone use THAT album as 'the bass album', uh….no. It's the album where they finally said 'lets make some money and create some radio hits'….and they did. Even Signals is a superior bass album, imo. (analog kid, digital man in particular)
I'm sure people will trash this post, but Moving Pictures their bass album?
Been to a few rush concerts in my day. The first concert I ever took my kids to see. I was always amazed at Getty. The guy could sing, play a monster bass line, and the Taurus pedals simultaneously and then switch off to keys at a split second and never miss a beat. I watch as he had a conversation with Alex while playing a complicated bass line and the pedals and thinking….how is this possible. Guy is a straight up stud musician.
Ian,,, you are a MONSTER on both basses,, THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO ???????? from Arkansas
It's great to see how happy any bass player gets when playing the Red Barchetta lines. 😀 It's inescapable.
The Camera Eye bass line is just fire!! So amazing.
Whats your opinion on Freewill?
To add on to your comment about YYZ – YYZ is also a navigational VOR that helps pilots approach the Toronto airport, and in the air we identify the VOR by its Morse code. The intro to YYZ is literally playing the Morse code dots and dashes the way we hear them on the radio.
Well done
The joy in Ian's face playing Red Barchetta….
Great video! I've been on a Rush/Geddy Lee kick recently as I read through his autobiography, and have tried to research his tone and technique for years, this was really informative and fun!
the C to F# in the beginning riff could also be described as a tri-tone, a flat 5 will do for me though, it's easier to think about lol.
Fantastic dude !!!
Also , I heard that Geddy used the Rick and Jazz on limelight ,recorded both and decided on J 😉
This album made me put down the pick/plectrum and actually re-teach myself on fingers , do I still use a pick recording/ live??…sure but sometimes I don't ????♂️ point is , Geddy gave me the inspiration to break through the mix with fingers!!!
Is Geddy playing a Fender on Limelight in the studio footage?
Is Geddy playing a Rick on Tom Sawyer in the studio footage?
Vital signs sounded fantastic with your playing
So glad you referred to The Camera Eye as a masterpiece.
The Camera Eye and Natural Science have special meaning to me as I "found" them after buying the albums and was blown away.
Two of their many masterpieces.
Great video BTW
You guys with the trained ear must be able to appreciate music far more than a tone def ear such as mine
Loved!
I got this album when I was 15. I found the bass tabs at a local music store and spent hours learning all of it completely wrong. ????
ok but whats wrong with Warrant
I'm from Kalamazoo, Mi (home of Gibson guitars), and Ged bought that first Black Jazz at a pawn shop in Kalamazoo during a day off on a tour. He used it on Moving Pictures because his RICK was having issues when recording the album.
If not the date, I know exactly where I was the first time I heard this record in february 1981. I was just about to turn 14 and was switching from bass to guitar, but regardless my whole musical universe turned somewhere between 45 and 90 degrees then, and I didn't know whether to learn how to play the bass or the guitar parts, so I went for both. Guess I started with YYZ, followed by Red Barchetta. Soon I had all the RUSH records.
Absolutely love your video. This album changed my life.
This record changed my life! I went out and bought Tom Sawyer on 45. Then one day went to my neighbors as a 13 year old, his Pops had Moving Pictures. I was so excited to play the whole record right there. I lut it on and will never forget the ride I went on, it was nothing like anything I had evrr heard before. It was somewhat dark and technical for a little kid but I loved it. Years later I learned to play bass and it shaped my future. I will never forget that day!!❤
He plays probably the most melodic bass lines. You can sing most of them. Especially on red barchetta. Its beautiful
Review the basic riff in YYZ, that’s not it at all!
Would have loved to see you cover the bass part during the guitar solo in Camera Eye. Geddy is really attacking the bass there.
YYz = YY Zed.
I don’t know if you’ve ever done a video about this guy – a search didn’t show anything – but Jon Camp from Renaissance would be a great subject. “Underrated” is overused a lot of the time, but in his case I think it’s definitely true.
Absolutely amazing! The Rush and Geddy fans are amazed! How good is to watch this songs being played…
Why the pickup cover on the Jazz bass. Don't you find it gets in the way?
So nice to see a musician who's a mega fan. Well done!
Your excitement shines through and really makes these videos must watch tv, thanks!
This album made me switch my main instrument from guitar to bass a long long time ago, never regretted it
