I’m certainly no Alex Lifeson on the guitar, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t find it frustrating that after playing “terrestrial” guitar for years I can’t seem to get past the beginning stages of Rock Band. But after watching this hilarious video from the Colbert Report, I feel a little better. Check out Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson stumbling through “Tom Sawyer” on Rock Band. Fantastic!
