Soloing Secrets - Alex Lifeson

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with Alex Lifeson and a look at his pioneering/groundbreaking progressive rock guitar lead guitar style. Alex has always been a big influence of mine - so let's dive in!

The ideas/music shared in this episode were pulled from four classic Rush albums and uncover some of Alex's signature licks and phrases through the years. This includes his use of the "Pentatonic Highway" to navigate the neck, single-string scale runs, various melodic phrases, frantic open-string ideas, smeared tremolo bar manipulations, and much more!

As far as the specific songs targeted in this episode, we're hitting sections from classics such as 'A Passage To Bangkok,' 'Closer To The Heart,' 'Limelight,' 'Cold Fire,' 'YYZ,' and 'Leave That Thing Alone' - to name a few!

Needless to say, if you're an Alex Lifeson/Rush fan, a fan of classic progressive rock music, or maybe a player searching for some new lead guitar ideas to play around with and add to your playing - this lesson is totally for you!
