Rush: The Analog Kid From the album Signals (Mercury Records) Copyright 1982 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart Comments/corrections to Rich Soto Transcribed by: Richard J. Soto Email: lerxst@zeus.jersey.net Previous transcribers were Patrick M. Ryan ( pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov ) and Chris Eucare ( ceucar1@gl.umbc.edu ) and Jimmy Pena ( jimmy@walrus.com ). I've seen Alex play the F#Maj and the B fifth (near the beginning of the song,) low on the neck on the RTB & Counterparts tours. On the recording and when played on the Signals- New World Tour, he played it in the high neck position as shown here. The Solo: After the openning dive bomb, keep the bar depressed, mute all strings, except the G string, with the fret hand. Strike the natural harmonic at the 12th fret then return bar gradually before the onslaught really begins. ;) -----------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------ -2--2------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------ -2--2---------2p0-4p2p0------|-8---8-8--8-8----9-9-9-9-9-9-|------------------ -2--2----0h2h4---------4p2p0-|-9---9-9--9-9----9-9-9-9-9-9-|------------------ -0--0------------------------|-9---9-9--9-9----7-7-7-7-7-7-|------------------ -----------------------------|-7---7-7--7-7----7-7-7-7-7-7-|------------------ .
