A Few Rush Tunes Tabs (Straight From The Lerxst-Horse's Mouth)

100% Alex Lifeson approved (and relayed). Grabbed these off a vid of Alex doing lessons.

This is mainly for @la szum - if he wants to check them out

Limelight:

Tom Sawyer (note the cool chordings - these ain't power chords like I learned 30 years ago!)

Very cool! I am being a doofus and relying solely on my ear and not reverting to tabs, so
I swear I didn't peek.

I have messed around with Limelight before. I think I saw him break down the chords
in a video lesson (or podcast) somewhere, too. Funny watching him struggle to remember
how to play such an iconic song exactly. I can tell they must have improvised slightly
live and he wasn't a total stickler for exactness.

Such a fun and interesting fella, with so many unique tones and approaches to playing
guitar over the years. Love the guy!

Thanks, Lefty!

This is what I have been working on from Alex. It's fairly rudimentary.... because that is
where I am at. I also am really digging using my 335 when trying to play the parts.

Love when it goes into that first Solo. So fuzzy and mushed out. He has that
really aggressive vibrato, too. Such a monster guitarist!

And that resolution to D Major (Discovery) with someone sounding like they are tuning their
guitar and figuring out how to play a D major chord just gets me in the feelz.

Try to avoid the Priests... of the Temples... of Syrinx!
