    I have 3 now. After my last purchase I said "that's it, no more!!" , and another guitar is calling "buy me"!!

     

    I lost count at 17...

     

    My favorite quote of Alex's is that they are "tools in a toolbox."

     

    And, as my old guitar teacher would tell his wife when she asked to pare down his collection of 62+... "they are my pension!".

     

    My collection has saved my tush more than once during lean times (with obvious regrets for the ones that were sacrificed).

    This thread gave me some "off-topic" deja-vu about walking a dog and meeting someone famous... I was walking my parents dog about 7 years ago and  this dude walks up to me and asks what kind of dog it was. I told him I didn't know and then he mentioned a breed and I said "that's it".

    Then, I look at the guy and I recognize him... I say to him, "are you an actor?" He said "yes, we are filming a couple of blocks from here...". We trade pleasantries and part ways... curious? It was the guy who played the NBC president who fell in love with Elaine on Seinfeld.

    But meeting Geddy, that would be great. I think he's the coolest of the triumvirate when it comes to interfacing with the public/fans.

    That would be Bob Balaban. He's in a lot of Christopher Guest's films.

    He was pretty cool and knowledgeable about dogs; how weird to bump into him in a neighborhood in Winnipeg on a dark spring night... to this day I can't remember that dog's breed... some Asian word, but not Lhaso Apso LOL!

    That's great! I love watching Alex play this song. Since I'm trying to learn how to do that myself, it's very helpful for me to learn by watching. Thanks!

    Notice how he plays the main phrase... he plays the open 'A' power chord using the 1st (fore) finger and then does the pull-off riff using the second finger... much easier to execute than using the fore finger for the whole refrain (like I was doing).

     

    I wish he would do more instruction videos like the three ones he currrently has (Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio and Limelight).

    I find it a lot easier to use my middle finger when doing the pull offs confused13.gif

    It is easier, but I had never tried it before.

  5. I have a hard time to separate the material from the technical capture of it.

     

    Don't like synths filling up the songs along with tacky, pastiche triggered samples. No producer would've changed that. That said I do love the 'whole Rush experience', so I like to understand everything they've done; their career arc.

     

    My vote is with Peter Collins, mostly because CP got me back into listening to Rush (they lost me in the middle of Signals).

  7. That's exactly why I love this clip... you can see what he's playing!

     

    He's got more in his channel from that perspective like:
