NOTHING beats Alex Lifeson’s “Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah” acceptance speech.
I hear the “blah blah speech” and think it is how he does his guitar solos. His notes (or “blahs”) carry a lot of meaning and emotion. Also very spur of the moment (he had a written speech in his pocket).
For his solos he had basic ideas and concepts so the solo would fit the song, but when he recorded them he just jammed - nothing written (he didn’t even know how to read music). They would record 3 to 5 of his jam sessions, then he, Geddy and the producer would go through them all and rearrange things and combine, delete, etc. until they reached what they wanted.
In later years Alex said he didn’t have the patience for that and just left it to Geddy and the producer to come up with the final solo - they were far better at it than he was.
The interviewer asked “Wasn’t that hard to play with everything moved around and changed?”
“Well yeah - but I figured I played those notes at some point I could play them again.”
