Natural Science Tabs

(ver. 3)
Rush
Track: 6
  Music by: Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson
  Words By: Neil Peart

 I noticed there is a great tab for this song, but there is no tabs for the solos. This 
a tab for the first solo. It may not be 100% but it's how I play it and I think it 
really close.

Legend
v - vibrato
~ - hold the note for a little bit longer
<>- pinch harmonic
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
sb - slow bend
h-hammer-on
p-pull off
t - tap

Another way to play the first line of the solo, is with natural harmonics, like 
this. Alex plays the solo with harmonics live.
--(All notes in parenthesis are natural harmonic)
