I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.
From Geddy Lee
Playing live is such a total visceral experience, and really, as a musician, you're trained from the beginning to be a live performer.
If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.
I think jamming is the way we begin to communicate. In the old days, people actually wrote notes on paper and sent them to each other. I guess that's how they jammed.
But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.
First of all, when you live in a country like Canada, it's quite different from America in the sense that it's very tied to traditions that were born in Britain.
For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.
For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.
I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures.
I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word.
