Alex Lifeson tops CBC's list of the
"25 Greatest Canadian Guitar Players" ever:
"The most impressive thing about Rush guitarist Lifeson may be his
ability to keep up with his virtuoso bandmates Neil Peart and Geddy Lee.
For over 4 decades, Lifeson has been seamlessly transitioning from
complicated rhythm patterns to searing solos. His influence on shredders
is undeniable, though his own playing borrows from jazz, reggae and
funk. Guitar nerds love him for heady prog finger exercises like '2112'
and 'YYZ.' Everyone else loves him for timeless rock riffs like 'Working
Man' and 'The Spirit of Radio.'" - CBC, November 7, 2012
