Victor: I Am the Spirit From the album Victor (Atlantic Records) Copyright 1996 Lerxst Music Inc. Music by Alex Lifeson and Bill Bell Lyrics by Alex Lifeson Transcribed by: Richard J. Soto Email: lerxst@zeus.jersey.net Notice how Riff-C is very similar to Alex's famous "Spirit Of Radio" riff. (Hence this song's title! ) I think this riff is tougher though as it involves a tricky sort-of timing. --------------------------------------------------------------|---------------
