Great observation! I think it's an Asus4 min7 chord - because of the D and G in the higher strings. If I'm not mistaken, these are also the very first chords Alex plays in 'Show Don't Tell' as well. Lots of great examples of these suspended chords on a lot of the 80's Rush albums.
The fist couple of minutes, the F-sharp chords and many more used even better from Geordie Walker, Killing Joke. Of course Alex Lifeson is a giant, but although he is not a shredder, Geordie is even greater. No offences at all but not the same weight class. Very gentle, flying strummings but there is no words for that how aggressively can he sounds. On a semi Gibson. No wonder at all Jimmy Page adores him, these kinda stuff sounds absolutely killer in his hands. But. If the thing is the shred, then there is only a very few who can be compared to A.Lifeson.
I forgot to mention your role, your work here that is really good. Keep up, really interesting and good shorts. 👌🏻

Nice man! I'm one of the guys that did The Alex Lifeson Chord ;)

Yes! Show Don't Tell as well!
Nice tone!
A with a suspended 4 & 7
By the way, loved this - 3 minutes get in, make your point and get out (thank you)
Thank you so much for watching
Wow, those chords sound so aggressive and mean! So cool!!!! Ok, I am going to play my Squier Jaguar now... : )

It's basically an A7sus4 just with 7 being on top.
yawn dude. Is this really so hard for anyone to figure out?
Probably not! 😁
