2019 Reader Favorite Bassists – #1: Geddy Lee

Thanks in part to reaching a huge goal here at No Treble HQ in 2019, Geddy Lee closes out our countdown as the #1 “Reader Favorite Bassist.” Back in June, we sat down in person with Geddy for Groove – the No Treble podcast.

Ariane Cap even got into the mix, breaking down how Geddy uses power chords in Rush’s “Dreamline” in a Talking Technique episode.

That, plus news of his Big Beautiful Book of Bass tours and sitting in with Claypool Lennon Delirium, it is great to see Geddy still going strong.

Of course, we still had some Rush videos to share too.
