Some folks don't know that Alex actually took classical guitar lessons for a couple of years. He can actually read music and sit down and play Bach pieces and such. And he advises anyone who is interested in guitar to start with classical because it will teach you the "technique and discipline" (his own words) to go on to all other forms of music. This advice is from the most "spontaneous" musician in Rush.

All those years ago I actually didn't know he suggested this, verbally. But he and Jimmy Page were my first "guitar teachers", and from Alex especially I got that about learning classical just from listening to him play.

@Cymro 65 I feel a great connection to this band and the music they created. Love the history. Thanks! On my side - My family lived in Quebec for 2 years in the mid-70's. My aunt and uncle live a couple of blocks away from Le Studio. So when I was back for a holiday in the late 70's, I was able to take a tour through the place. Didn't know anything about studios at the time, but it was magical - or overwhelming. Every time I went back, in subsequent years, I would walk down to the old place and have a look around. Pretty sad that vandals got the best of it. My cousin has some great stories about the bands that recorded there. My aunt still lives there.

@Cymro 65 Back in high school, a friend lent me a bunch of albums. 'All the World's A Stage' was one of them. Really loved the long instrumental piece in the middle of "By-Tor.." I bought the albums one by one after that and was never disappointed. I love all kinds of music, but when I get into a Rush phase, I can't listen to anything else with the same interest.
