Hahaha!
Ace was and is alright but he is no Hendrix or Page!

You’re right.

Even Ace, live, is not as slopmonster as Pagey is on stage.

And Jimi was often even more out of tune.

Haha, yes. Ace’s smoking guitar pyro. You’re very clever.

No one mentioned Steve Hackett yet? He’s only gotten better with age.

Alex Lifeson ....

Rush is my first (and always) favourite band. Just two days ago I bought the 40-anniversary reissue of Hemispheres (two-disc), as a matter of fact.

Alex is one strange guitarist. Haha. Starting his pro life as a Page-style player, helping to engineer what’s become the progressive metal substyle with ever-more elaborate and complex compositions, and then morphing into this totally unique hard-rock new waver; equal parts Ed VH and ... The Edge, etc.

As a soloist he’s constructed and recorded some of the best moments of the instrument. Live he can be hit-and-miss adequately recreating these, in truth. But no one is like Lifeson.

He’s the “abstract” musician in Rush and is effortlessly musical. He was a wonderful counter to Peart’s “rigid” nature and Geddy’s methodical approach and melodic sensibilities.

Alex is always one of my favourites, although his playing at times can frustrate me. Haha.

Wes Montgomery if you are talking Jazz.  I like George Benson, top 5 all-time.

 


If Carl Weathers were an out of shape homosexual back in the 80's, he would look just like George Benson did.

BTW, nice blast from the past.

Yes.

Thought so, but not being a musician I wasn’t sure if I was being “fooled” somehow by my ears

Yup, He also built his own guitar in the early days of Queen. Where he got his signature sound.
