Since Rush had so many amazing riffs and multi-riff songs, I limited myself to songs that start off with only guitar! Here is a countdown of the most rocking intro guitar riffs by Rush!

Alex Lifeson is so under appreciated. He is an all time great.

What made Rush stand out were three things. One, they never took themselves seriously. Two, they were best friends until the end. And number three, perhaps the most important, the writing credits were shared equally. Everyone knew Neil was the principal lyricist but they all contributed in some way. That in and of itself prevented any tension that may have risen. Being top tier musicians didn't hurt either.

The older I get the more I appreciate the genius of Alex Lifeson
-
Alex Lifeson deserves all the love!!! He’s genius and gets less recognition of the 3.
-
Jimmy Page singled out Rush as one of the up & coming bands that impressed him in the 70"s . Once again Jimmy was ahead of the curve 🎸
-
Will never stop listening to Rush, one of the most increadible trios ever. Absolute legends that sounded even better live, magical! Thanks Carl
-
Is anyone else's brain automatically adding in the killer drum and bass lines? Lol (Especially on Bastille Day!) Great video. You should follow up with an 80's list. 😁
-
To think that most rock guitarists can't create one memorable, time-tested riff, AL did it repeatedly for decades.
-
This should have been a top 50, you could go all day playing Alex's best stuff
-
DUDE! Now your covering my alltime fav. Huge lifetime RUSH fan. Thank Carl!
-
Don't forget the "Alex Lifeson Chord"! An F# bar chord with the open B and high e strings sounding out.
-
Fantastic selection. Thinking in their more 'modern' era, I kind of also like the guitar intro to Show Don't Tell
-
La Villa Strangiato probably deserves it's own video. That may have been Lifeson's best work early on.
-
Thx! Enjoyed this! I can think of so many other great worthy openings for a follow up top 10! Red Sector A, Time stand Still, Distant Early Warning, YYZ, Show Don’t Tell………I’ll hang up now!
-
Awesome video! Alex is such a monster! Rush is still the best and always will be! R.I.P. professor! 🍺🥃🇨🇦
-
Awesome! Mr. Rick Beato should do his own "Top 10 Rush Riffs" video someday🙂
-
Lots of fun and great tone, as usual. Thanks, Carl!
-
