Lol... you hit his birthday. He turned 74 today. This song is one of the best. I tried to find a good live version with that solo at the end. It starts at about 4:20 on this one and runs for 3 minutes. (4:20 lol. Go figure) Its an epic... epic solo. It can never be loud enough.
I'm more into solos like this. I think Lifeson is pulling off 1/64th notes in that crescendo at around 2:18. I like.
Hahahahaahahhahahha You wouldn't know a 1/64th note if it hit you in the head like a f'n anvil....... no one would lol. Wtf are u talking about? Did you get on wiki? Omg........ Yeah. I hear that too. It really sets them apart. Wtf................. In music notation, a sixty-fourth note (American), or hemidemisemiquaver or semidemisemiquaver (British), sometimes called a half-thirty-second note (Burrowes 1874, 42), is a note played for half the duration of a thirty-second note (or demisemiquaver), hence the name. It first occurs in the late 17th century and, apart from rare occurrences of hundred twenty-eighth notes (semihemidemisemiquavers) and two hundred fifty-sixth notes (demisemihemidemisemiquavers), it is the shortest value found in musical notation (Morehen 2001). At least I learned something new. ....."Hemidemisemiquaver" Now we know how Cobain did it! STFU @Overnight
I first learned about quavers back in the 1970s. I did not know it was chiefly used by the Brits. I leanred something new.
