And how many of you have started on music for "Telescope Peak?"

Happy Birthday! Rawk on!

Thank you everybody! :Alex: :cheers:

Hey! I resemble that emoticon. Thank you!

In the long ruuuuuun!

Helpful or no? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trill_%28music%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legato http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staccato http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_picking

As I understand it they did for real, but he was harnessed with wires for saftey and they were removed in post. But the whole thing smacks of digital composition.

Happy Birthday man! :dweez:

Voice is great and love that he got the words wrong in In The end just like atwas. :D

I still don't have this to this day. I gave up a long time ago on this riff and never revisited it. I "cheat" when I do play it - non-guitarist/non-rush fans can't tell the difference, but it's not right. I should tackle this again someday. If I recall, I couldn't quite get the picking right to hit that open E after the fretted D and have it sound smooth. Yeah, I know what you mean! I could never quite get it down either. A lot of people "cheat" on it, I have found, though. The actual lick goes like this: http://i39.tinypic.com/2rxf86s.jpg But, so many people, including me, play it like this: http://i41.tinypic.com/5460sn.jpg One day, I'll get it! That's just it, the first one is what I thought it always was, but according to Alex himself in that video - that is not what he is playing. He never hits that open E (or open B) at the end of each quarter phrase. BUT (a big but) - that is just a "teaser" video. Perhaps he builds on the "lesson" until he shows you the full phrase. Anyone see this video in it's entirety? Can you solve this question? I hate to spend $6 just to learn that the tabs have been right all these years for a song I'm frankly not all that interested in playing anymore... http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/biffmalibu01012/sortab.jpg This is a screenshot from the video. You're right he plays it slow without all the open Es (in parans) but then gets it up to speed and I'm pretty sure he's playing the tab.

They're all fun to play but Natural Science is a stand out. All the movements are quite different and the chord voicings going on in the Permanent Waves section are an prime example of what is so great about Alex's playing. Most covers I've seen miss these voicings completely.

Bless the saints, it's an ashtray! I've been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it!

Dammit! Love the Gibson.

Where's everyone sitting? :) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Nokia_Theatre_Los_Angeles_interior.jpg

I'm glad you included I think I'm Goin' Bald!

I'm going. Just got tickets today. Can't wait. Should be awesome.

Thanks you two! It was a fine day.

Hodad's.

To paraphrase comic book guy, "Maybe you should cross the final frontier?.." Not that I'm offering. I've got a not only a Rush loving chick, but also Star Wars, Star Trek and Big Bang Theory. Don't know how I lucked out but keeping an eye on this for the official Prom Date. :cheers:

Thanks Everyone! You all both Rock and Roll! Today's been good except for the whole getting old thing. :D

Here's one I did recently with the loops. Thanks guys.

I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... Hello?... hello... hello... Echo... echo... echo... Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon... Manny Mota... Mota... Mota..

Argo. Meh.

He could have. I don't really remember. Isn't she like 14 or 15? I think she's supposed to 17, but the actress herself is 27.
