Yes, that's absolutely right, I hadn't had the PRS very long when I recorded this, it being the first guitar I have ever owned with a whammy, so I was still getting used to it and indeed holding back a little. In one of my previous replies, I also mention something similar. Nice of you to take the time to leave a constructive comment and many thanks for watching.
I remember a remark by Andy Gray once.. Ken Bates and his Diddy men... I think Burnley are the team of the moment :-) back to Rush... yes fantastic song and many thanks for dropping by to watch
Dude. Look at you, man. Is that a friggen PRS, or are you just happy to rock me?
What the... When did you get that bad boy? A Paul friggen Reid Smith. Holy crap. And what's this??? Nike sponsorship?
Hey, wait a minute... That's just paint. Someone just painted that on your shirt. That's not Nike. And that, that... that guitar. It... Hey. You carved that out of a block of cheese. Man.
I can't believe this. That guitar looks delicious.
..."carved out of a block of cheese".. haha best laugh I've had all day..I've had the PRS a while now, use it for the newer Rush stuff, the Ibanez for the older. The Nike logo? A bird did it...
Dude fucking sweet. I'm a huge rushfan... check out my own rush videos sometime - but I must say, this solo has always been one of my favorites... so wierd yet so complexingly beautiful! I also get chills when I hear it, and I've always wondered (in guitar mentality "who does that, I mean, who plays something like that?") NOBODY - Alex is unique! Keep rocking bro.
THis could possibly be one of the best worked solos by Alex. I always found that when I listen to this solo in my car, the speedometer seems to increase!
It's a great one to play and took quite a while to get the right flow. Still missing some vibrato here and there and a few pinch harmonics. Open Secrets, I've got a cover of that in my latest video Rush - Selection of Guitar Solo Covers (Part 2). thanks for taking the time to write some words, I appreciate that.
Nice to see a fan of the lesser-respected 80s era. Nice job on the solo.
