    • But im talking about a LONG time
    40 secs for instance
    (Bruce dickinson at the end of hallowed be thy name, for instance , in rock in rio)
    When a singer holds it for a huge amount of time

    You would say the singer is sustaining a note.

    Sustain is also used in a similar context for other instruments. For example, there is the sustain pedal on a piano. You can say a guitar has a lot of "sustain" (meaning after you play a note or a chord, it continues to sound for a long time), or a guitarist uses certain techniques to sustain notes/sounds when he (or she :)) is playing a solo.

    You may also find this thread helpful.
