Alex Lifeson has been a huge influence on my guitar playing and it's not always the obvious solo's that have given me the most pleasure. Here's a selection of bits, some I can play and in order of album. 1.The rhythm guitar of Beneath, Between & Behind. I like playing the chords and the lead riff. 2.The guitar solo in The Necromancer. On vinyl it used to shriek across the speakers, never the same on CD. 3.Discovery, easy to play but gives you a big grin, and when you play it to people who've never heard of Rush they always ask what's that? 4.Intro to Xanadu, who's not played it all over the fretboard but whenever I hear it, it gives me goosebumps. Always expect the wind to come blowing through the house as it kicks in. 5.The harmonics at the beginning of Cygnus x-1, quite tricky to get right. 6.The lead break in the third part of Natural Science, possibly my favourite bit of lead guitar by Alex. 7.Thechords in the verse of Red Barchetta. 8.The chorus of The Analog Kid, and the middle of The Weapon 9.Guitar solo in Kid Gloves 10.Middle bit of Marathon 11.Jangly bit in the middle bit of Mission
