Lifeson was a major influence on me growing up and later on my style of playing. A few years ago I was given a DVD of Rush performing live and during his solo on La Villa Strangiato I thought I was looking into a mirror.
I am not sure how to take that? LOL...a good thing or a bad?
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.
