After 40 years and 40 million records sold with the groundbreaking rock trio Rush, what’s next for legendary guitarist Alex Lifeson? Hear about his latest projects, inspirations, and the gear that made Rush a household name!
Lifeson made his mark on the music industry over 50 years ago, redefining the boundaries of progressive rock guitar. His signature riffing, copious use of effects processing, and unorthodox chord structures befitted him the title by his Rush bandmates as “The Musical Scientist.” While the bulk of Lifeson’s work in music has been with Rush, he has contributed to a body of work outside of the band as a guitarist, a producer, and, with the release of his 1996 solo album “Victor,” a solo artist. Lifeson ranks third overall in the Guitar World Readers Poll of 100 Greatest Guitarists and is also included in Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
