Rush in one take

Who has the balls (or audacity) to try and tackle a 5 minute nerd-rock masterpiece on only an acoustic guitar and in only one take?

This guy.

So, having recently figured out the chord progression to Rush's 1987 sweetness known as "Mission", I decided to give it a go using my iPhone as recording studio as I have done so oft in the past...

I left out the solo section, as I had no marimba to play, and I realize that Geddy Lee's vocal range and mine do not have that much overlap, but I gave it a shot, and it was fun... There are flubs, but again, IT'S DONE IN ONE TAKE SO BACK OFF!!! If I had more takes, I could butcher it so much better...

The song appears to your right as the first track in the player... Check out the other songs I've recorded with my iPhone... "Glad All Over" and "Soldier of Love"...
