Does Terry usually write a lead over Gord's rhythym or does Gord write out the whole song ahead of time? I have lately been under the impression that he writes every note on most of his songs. This is not to dispute that Terry Clements is an extremely talented lead guitarist. Can anyone answer this to the best of their knowledge?

I don't think they do it the same way every time. Sometimes Gord gets a specific riff in his head and writes it down and Terry embellishes on it. Other times, Terry (and the other guys) try several different things and Gord says, "I like it" or "I don't like it" and they take it from there.
