Rush fans and guitarists need ULTIMATE GUITAR PLAY-ALONG: RUSH. Accompanied by a play-along cd, it comes packed with TAB transcriptions, music notation lyrics, and chords to six Rush classics, offering two versions of every song on the included CDs, which can be used in a Mac or Windows-based computer to loop sections for practice, change keys or temp, and more. An outstanding selection of Rush classics encourages players to learn.

I really am enjoying this purchase. Easy tabs, can pick it up very quickly, and a lot of fun to play with the music backing you (especially if you don't have a band that can play it!)

Thats how I feel reading and listening to this! Just put in the time and you WILL get better at playing Rush songs!!

My only complaint is the YYZ backing track - specifically the part near the end of the guitar solo where the drums/bass tacet and the guitar does a series of pull-offs. On the backing track, to help keep time during the tacet, instead of utilizing subtle drum sticks the recording plays loud metronome type clicks - VERY LOUD!

Frankly, this part could remain silent. I think most guitarists that know this song could stay in proper time until the drums/keyboard come back in. It is not a terribly long period of time.

I understand using soft clicks (preferably drum sticks) for songs involving long guitar-only parts, but in this backing track the loud clicks took the fun out of the end of the YYZ solo.
