“First, young people, when I was a kid to learn a song or a solo, I sat with the tape recorder for the song to play then catch it, hoping to capture the entire song. Then play, stop, rewind, play the guitar, stop the tape… over and over and over.
Now, Alex Lifeson is live explaining his bends and vibrato techniques (and why) nice and slow on a podcast with Chris Shifflet! So first, I think I speak on behalf of all musicians Chris - THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for starting with Alex! The man is an artist, zeroing in on the song’s meaning and finding notes, expressions that sing/speak to the message of the song.
In the age of AI, autotune, crap music, we need this, and I hope everyone pauses, and appreciates how miraculous it is to watch your heroes play together and we can learn it. A-maze-zing!!!!!!!!!!!”
