Neal Schon Pays Tribute To The Late Leslie West

Mari added this on December 28, 2020

Neal Schon paid tribute to late Mountain frontman Leslie West the best way he knew how – with a guitar solo. The Journey guitarist shared a black-and-white video of a soulful guitar solo to social media, writing “Tribute to Leslie West as he was a major influence on my playing way back.”

West died Dec. 23rd at the age of 75 after suffering a heart attack.  Schon released a new solo album, Universe, earlier this month.

Did you know Leslie West was such an influential musician?  Who are some other guitar players that were highly influential?
