More about this title

About the Artist: Rush

Rush stands as one of rock's most technically ambitious and intellectually driven bands. Formed in Toronto in 1968, the trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart became known for their virtuosic instrumental prowess, complex song structures, and philosophical lyrics that elevated rock music beyond conventional pop formulas.

Why we love this

Virtuality captures Rush's signature blend of precision and progressive sensibility. Guitar students drawn to technical challenge will find substantial material here, and the TAB format makes their intricate riffs and rhythmic figures accessible without requiring advanced score-reading first.

What to expect

Virtuality carries the sleek, futuristic energy Rush was known for during their later catalog work. The guitar lines are angular and precisely articulated, balancing moments of driving intensity with passages that hint at the band's exploratory side. Playing this feels like solving a musical puzzle where every note has its place.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to expand their technical vocabulary and aren't intimidated by complex rhythmic figures and unconventional song structures. This TAB works well for students exploring progressive rock, musicians preparing for auditions or performance showcases, and players ready to tackle material that demands both left-hand precision and rhythmic maturity.

How to get the most out of it

  • Work through the TAB methodically, section by section. Rush's guitar lines often sit in unconventional positions on the fretboard; resist the urge to rush and nail the fingering choices before worrying about tempo.
  • Pay close attention to rhythmic subdivisions and syncopation. Rush's guitar parts frequently lock with the bass and drums in unexpected ways that won't feel natural until you've internalized the phrasing.
  • Record yourself and compare your timing against the original recording. The rhythmic precision in Rush's arrangements rewards this kind of focused listening and self-assessment.
  • Map out the key shifts and harmonic movement as you learn. Understanding where the song is heading musically will help you phrase the technical passages with intention rather than just executing notes.

How to use it

Feature this as a guitar solo recital piece or as part of a rock ensemble concert celebrating contemporary and progressive rock styles. It works particularly well in a student showcase context where you want to highlight advanced technique and individual musicianship.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing complex TAB notation with rhythmic accuracy
  • Playing syncopated figures and irregular subdivisions
  • Navigating unconventional fretboard positions and interval relationships
  • Maintaining precision and clarity in technically demanding passages
  • Understanding harmonic progression and song structure in progressive rock idiom
