Meticulous note-for-note guitar transcription of the classic song by Rush. This is a wholly new and original transcription, done solely by Berklee graduate and guitar instructor Dan Chernow, and has never before been available until now. As recorded by Rush on the 1975 album 'Fly By Night'. Transcription and Guitar Pro 8 notation by Dan Chernow, copyright 2022. As always, the most accurate Rush guitar transcriptions you will ever see or hear! The song that kicks off Rush's second album and the first featuring Neil Peart showcases their growing affinity for progressive rock, some would now say inventing progressive hard rock/metal in the process. A fast and tricky (and heavy!) 7/8 intro launches their first odd-time excursion before shifting into a quick and bouncy 12/8 for the reminder of the song. Alex locks in with some mighty power chords, jangly arpeggios and an absolutely diabolical solo. Utilizing a wah pedal and some tastily placed feedback he unleashes a beast of a solo, with some super fast shredding in between some truly tasty blues-inflected licks (both hallmarks of his early soloing style). The slap back delay effect used in several sections must be set to match the time of two eighth notes (or one quarter note) so be careful with that. See and hear this! (YouTube link included near bottom of pdf). (As a bonus. I also invite you to play this transcription along with the original recording as I set the tempos throughout to match the natural fluctuations the band takes throughout the song.).
