Speaking as a Rush fan, I think Lifeson could best be described as a model hard rock/heavy metal guitarist. As a soloist, it's all about getting in and out quickly and efficiently, having it written out and melodically structured rather than improvised and spontaneous, and making a big impression. Alex was a master of that, especially in their 80s output when the songs got shorter and tighter. His solos were like their own episodes within the song.
