Fly By Night (ver 2) by Rush
It's always tough to transcribe Geddy Lee's bass lines as he is known for his dynamic
and distinct fingering. I'm sure It's not 100% accurate but this tab, when played, should
most :)
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide (low to high)
= slide (high to low)
^ = bend (listen for pitch and release charateristics)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
