Digital Dad Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Gilmour, Van Halen, Young and Lifeson. Four guitarists whose work I enjoy across their bodies of work.Add Knopfler to that list. So I guess I'm unsure about a top three, but Alex is in the Pantheon, for sure. I like Knopfler, always tasteful, but I find if Im not actually listening to him I dont think about him too much. 1

treeduck Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Tony R is by far and away my biggest influence. :guitar:

So I guess I'm unsure about a top three, but Alex is in the Pantheon, for sure. I like Knopfler, always tasteful, but I find if Im not actually listening to him I dont think about him too much. I think that could be said by me about a great many guitarists. I see names popping up here and there and think, "Oh yeah, there's another great player".

lifeson90 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 i wish i could make Al my no.1 but Brian May keeps stopping me.
thirteen Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Alex is so good I wish Geddy had never discovered keyboards, which kinda pushed Alex out of the mix in the 80's. Edited January 2, 2017 by thirteen 3
MMCXII Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Alex is so good I wish Geddy had never discovered keyboards, which kinda pushed Alex out of the mix in the 80's. You could say they pushed Alex into a different roll, not that I approved of it though. Rush should have stuck to whatever keys they could play with their feet and no more. For Geddy Lee to let go of his bass and step up to a keyboard is a mortal sin! Edited January 2, 2017 by MMCXII 2
thirteen Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 ^^^ Agree with this post 100% I can only imagine how a guitarist of Alex's skill level felt when he was relegated second place to Geddy's mediocre keyboard playing. 2
Lurkst Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Big Al, David Gilmour, and Bob Mould. Shoutout for Bob! Him, Alex and Richard Thompson have probably been my 3 faves over the years... 1
