saturn Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Great little vid. But, did anyone else think his guitar was slightly out of tune from the recording of "Limelight" he played over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A bit, yes.. he causally mentioned - "...and as soon as your done playing the song, retune your guitar immediately" LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A bit, yes.. he causally mentioned - "...and as soon as your done playing the song, retune your guitar immediately" LOL! These whammy bar things are what I love Floyd Rose systems for. They are back to tuning immediately after use. EDIT: The studio parts of the following video show Alex Lifeson playing a Fender Stratocaster with Floyd Rose system: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 yea lime light was Alex's "Strat" era.. I went through the locking whammy system phase myself. the worse of it was break a string, and you may as well just hang yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Alex is by far my favorite guitarist. But he drives my batty! He doesn't know much about music theory but he can play in various modes (Lydian in Freewill, Spanish Phrygian in YYZ, Mixolydian in the guitar solo for Tom Sawyer, etc.). When he gets asked about theory stuff he just says "I don't know any of that stuff." Betcha that he doesn't know that the end chord of Limelight is a G#7sus. AARRGGG. He's just awesome. I do have a question though. In the last run of his solo he's hitting a G note that I think should be a G#. Listen to 3:06 of the isolated guitar. I'm pretty sure it's a G# on that run but in his lesson he's clearly showing a G. No? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUj1A6hGy28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
