Make things distorted here, and add lots of vibrato on each note, then 

you'll sound like him.

Tablature Explanation:

NT   = Nashville Tuning is when the low E, A, D & G strings are replaced 

with

       lighter gauge strings and tuned one octave higher than normal.

|    = bar separating measures

~    = vibrato

x    = percussive note with no pitch; muted note

.    = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it

h    = hammer

p    = pull

s    = slide (used when \ or / don't fit)

^    = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret shown in parenthesis ()

r    = release bend (string/fret may be indicated)

t    = fret board tap (not many of these with Rush)

/    = slide up

\    = slide down

x/   = pick slide up

x\   = pick slide down

<5>  = natural harmonic (lightly touch the string at fret indicated)

[5]  = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)

(5)  = note sustained from previous measure

o    =\ repeat sign

o    =/

DC   = "Da capo" - means "from the head", when you see these initials

        you go back to the beginning of the piece of music.

DS   = "Dal segno" - means "from the sign", go back in the tabulature

        only as far as the (%) sign.

Coda = A passage at the end of a movement or composition that brings

       it to a formal close.

Al

Coda = means "to the tail", tells you that you must go to the end

          section which starts with the Coda sign (+).

RF   = repeat and fade

rit  = "ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding.



Other pertinent information:

  Tuning:  Standard [EADGBe].

  Key signature:  D

Tablature Format:



This Tablature is based on the format indicated below.



  1   2   3   4     1   2   3   4     <--Quarter note beat locations

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8   <--Eighth note beat locations

                                      <--Effects/Misc Line

  D                 C     G/B         <--Chord Line

  e e e q   q   e   e e e q   e e e   <--Note Duration Line (table below)

|-----2-----------|-----------------| <--High E string

|-------3---------|-----------------| <--B string

|---2-------2---0-|-----0-------0---| <--G string

|-0---------------|---2-------0---0-| <--D string

|-----------------|-3-----2---------| <--A string

|-----------------|-----------------| <--E string



Effects/Misc Line:  Provides effects information, number of repeats, etc.



Chord Line:  Provides the chord name for the chords used in the

             tab below.



Note Duration Line:  Provides the "value" of each note, e.g., whole,

                     half, quarter, etc.



Note Duration Designator Table:

  w = Whole note                   h = Half note

  q = Quarter note                 H = Dotted half note

  Q = Dotted Quarter note          s = Sixteenth note

  e = Eighth note                  S = Dotted sixteenth note

  E = Dotted eighth note           + = Duration exceeds 2 measures

  t = Thirty-second note

  T = Dotted thirty-second note



  Notes with two designations immediately adjacent to each other

  have durations added (e.g., he = half note + eigth note, etc.)



String lines:  Represent the strings of a guitar.  The tab is laid

               out as if you placed a right handed guitar on your

               lap, string side up.  A vertical line character "|"

               represents a bar between measures.  A dash "-" represents

               each string.  The numbers indicate which fret should

               be fingered to sound the note.  The first space after

               every bar is a blank space that is almost never used.

               Quarter notes are separated by 3 dashes, eighth notes

               are separated by 1 dash.  In an effort to make the

               ASCII tab look as much like tab in a music book, the

               notes are spaced out as accurately as possible.  In the

               event the notes will not fit into the format shown above,

               the tab will be expanded (usually only required for

               solos).
