Rush: Anthem From the album Fly by Night (Mercury Records) Copyright 1975 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart Comments/corrections to C. D. Bruce From: Tony Kennedy Hello all, This is the solo to Anthem. Parts of it are very hard to figure out because there are two guitars playing very different things in a few places in the middle. So, that part in the middle isn't quite right. I've also commented where I think it may need some work. It's basically all done in the E blues scale. (with a few exceptions) E, G, A, A#, B, D As always, comments are welcome. Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note.. The little ^ means bend up. this is a little different from some other tabs. Pick real fast alot, then kick in the wha towards the end { repeat.....} E------------|----|----------------|----------------|-------- B------------|----|/12h13p12-15p12-|-12h13p12-15p12-|-------- G---7b9-9-9--|-7~-|----------------|----------------|-------- D------------|----|----------------|----------------|-------- A------------|----|----------------|----------------|-------- E------------|----|----------------|----------------|-------- E------------------|----------------|----------------|------ B---12h13p12-15p12-|-12h13p12-15p12-|-12h13p12-15p12-|------ G------------------|----------------|----------------|------ D------------------|----------------|----------------|------ A------------------|----------------|----------------|------ E------------------|----------------|----------------|------ E------------17^-17^-|-------------------------------------- B---12h13p12---------|-------------------------------------- G--------------------|-------------------------------------- D--------------------|-------------------------------------- A--------------------|-------------------------------------- E--------------------|-------------------------------------- E---17p15----15----15-------------------|------------------- B---------17----17----17-15----------15-|------------------- G---------------------------16-14-16----|------------------- D---------------------------------------|------------------- A---------------------------------------|------------------- E---------------------------------------|------------------- E---15^-15^-15^-15p12-------------|------------------------- B---------------------12-15----12-|------------------------- G---------------------------14----|------------------------- D---------------------------------|------------------------- A---------------------------------|------------------------- E---------------------------------|------------------------- E-----------------------------------------|----------------- B---15^-12----15-12----12-15^-16-15-12h15-|----------------- G----------14-------14--------------------|----------------- D-----------------------------------------|----------------- A-----------------------------------------|----------------- E-----------------------------------------|----------------- (Something missing here) E--------------------|-------------------|------------------ B-----------------15-|-------------------|------------------ G-------12-14-14^----|-14p12-14p12-12p11-|------------------ D---/14--------------|-------------------|------------------ A--------------------|-------------------|------------------ E--------------------|-------------------|------------------ (Check here, this is where there are two guitars playing) E-------------------------------------------------------|--- B-------------------------------------------------------|--- G---9-9-9-7-6-6-7-6-------------------------------------|--- D-------------------9-7-5-5-7-5-7-----------------------|--- A---------------------------------7-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-0---|--- E-----------------------------------------------------0-|--- E-----------------------|---------------------|------------- B-----------------------|---------------------|------------- G-----------------------|---------------------|------------- D-----------------------|---------------------|------------- A---7-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5---|-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5---|------------- E---------------------0-|-------------------0-|------------- E-----------------------------|----------------------------- B-----------------------------|----------------------------- G-----------------------------|----------------------------- D-------------------------5---|----------------------------- A---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-7-5---7-|----------------------------- E-----------------------------|----------------------------- It's either two guitars in unison, or a fast slapback echo here...
