faithplusone01 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nobody mentions Red Barchetta or The Big Money! They are both simple solos but they fit the songs really well and have a ton of melody in them. Especially enjoy the harmonics in "The Big Money". I looked up a tab for it and found that it is tuned a full step up! No wonder the harmonics are so badass eh? Nobody thinks of going up, just down nowdays. Shows you how good Alex really is eh?

GeddyRulz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I love the solos in "Freewill" and "Limelight," but those already get a lot of attention. I agree with you that the solo in "Big Money" is great, thanks mostly to all those harmonics. "Afterimage" and "Kid Gloves" are good. But my favorite Lifeson solo of all time is... "No One at the Bridge." It's not the most technically challenging solo to play, but it's the most emotive of all Lifeson solos... so passionate, so full of feeling! It's great.

Godeater2112 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 AFTERIMAGE solo just rips me to pieces every time. One of my very favorites and certainly very underrated. Alex really flexes his skills in that one - the fact he is a combo lead/rhythm guitarist for the band. I'm pretty sure that solo has some CHORDS in it that most rhythm guitarists didn't even know existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMcc Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Nobody ever mentions the solo in "Digital Man". I think it's awesome. Perhaps not the most technically sophiscated, but still great . Edited May 15, 2007 by BruceMcc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Get High On You Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Digital Man and The Weapon, for sure. Actually, the first thing I thought of was that all of his solos are underrated. He is such an underrated guitarist in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6376 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 "The Pass." Very simple, yet so very elegant and moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 La Villa Strangiato... Pretty much every Bravado extension. And though it's literally only 9 seconds long...it is intense shredding action that everyone completely disregards. It proves Alex can shred with the best: Red Tide.

Silas Lang Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 ^^La Villa's always being raved about on TRF so I wouldn't say it's underrated. Nobody ever mentions the solo in Tom Sawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
