    Guitar!!! Alex!!!!
  1. They're awesome either way.......My step-bros lost his right to walk -- this is one of his favorite songs, BTW -- THE WINSLOW IS BAK BITCHES......:)
  2. Right.....Roll your "r" while saying the word, "trill", and you'll vocalize the sound of the effect such technique elicits when performed on the guitar.....
  3. So here, at 3:27 Alex opens w/ quick alternate picking.....And at 3:47, it sounds like he switches between alternate picking and tremolo picking?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsTxxPOqzc4
  4. It's basically flicking your pick down and up as rapidly as possible whilst alternating frets w/ your left hand.....If you aren't vey good at alternate picking, you can employ this technique to run through scales giving the impression that you're actually more skilled than you really are..;)
  5. What would you call it? My guitar teacher called this style of picking "trilling" back when I took lessons years and years ago......You're a jackass btw.
  6. I consider Eddie's technique here at 4:28 trilling: Eddie doesn't do this when he runs though scales ... it's just a "speed trick" that he usually employs on one string when he concludes a solo. Obviously here, he's using it as part of his overall showcase.....But keep in mind this trick can be used to entirely run through a scale to give the impression that one is actually proficiently alternate picking.....I know, that's how I tend to run through scales, and to the novice ear, it goes unnoticed.....;)
  7. What about here?: Go to about 3:05 or 3:06. He's goes into a real fast "scaley" run. Trilling or precise alternate picking?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHOoS2H1nvU
  8. When Alex runs quickly through scales.....is he "trilling" or actually playing each note once at a time? For instance, in his lighting fast run in La Villa, is he fudging through the scale, flipping his pick up and down as fast as possible, or actually methodically hitting each successive note at extreme velocity?? I'm a guitarist, and have always wondered this.....
  9. No mistaken it.....That whole song sounds like Xanadu sped up. I like the slow downed version better.....;)
  10. That show always has good interlude music.....
  11. "Oh dear"? Do you want add Henry James to that list you f'ing d-bag.....
  12. I bet if y'all list again without looking at your current list, it will be slightly different.......
  13. :goodone: :goodone: :goodone: Well IMHO, he's mastered "lyrical" prose....And writing that is critiqued as overly detailed can be interpreted as dense....Perhaps we'll get some novels from Neil, when Rush retires......
  14. Careful...some people might get freaked out by that. Yeah, he just shy.
