Probably the big think I’ve stolen from Alex, playing-wise, is the use of suspended chords. It’s my opinion that, were he playing in a lesser band, he would be more renowned than he already is.

And another one (although he's played one of everything throughout his career):

And it looks like he's got a Floyd on his Les Paul, too!

I use a fair amount of suspended chords as well in my writing and Lifeson is probably one of the reasons I do.

Still love everything from Moving Pictures back to the beginning. Those were their “glory” days in my mind. Some of the stuff since then has been nice and technically well played but just hasn’t flicked my switch the way the old stuff still does when I hear it.
