More quotes by Geddy Lee
It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.
Geddy Lee
I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.
Geddy Lee
Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups - you'd get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there's discussions about what you should and shouldn't be doing. The minute you announce that you're recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be.
Geddy Lee
I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.
Geddy Lee
So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.
Geddy Lee
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.
Geddy Lee
I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work.
Geddy Lee
I was taking piano lessons with a very good piano instructor in Toronto, and I'm afraid due to my schedule and discipline, it kind of fell apart. One thing lead to another and I was unable to practice as much as I wanted to.
Geddy Lee
I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word.
Geddy Lee
I feel safe and comfortable to do that once I know that the song structure around the bass part is very interesting and it satisfies me in a compositional sense.
Geddy Lee
For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.
Geddy Lee
I worry about my voice 24/7 when I'm on tour. It's like a pitcher and his arm. It's constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around.
Geddy Lee
I love to write. It's my first love.
Geddy Lee
It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.
Geddy Lee
I can't remember the first song I learned to play on bass, but the first song I learned to play on guitar was 'For Your Love' by the Yardbirds. That kind of was the beginning for me. I thought it was a great song and I loved the open chord progression at the beginning of that song.
Geddy Lee
That is what intrigues me songwriting and song structure and expression.
Geddy Lee
If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.
Geddy Lee
I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.
Geddy Lee
There was a time when fast playing and fretboard pyrotechnics on the bass were important to me and when I am recording a bass track, that is still very important to me.
Geddy Lee
So, I don't know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor.
Geddy Lee
