G+-2-2---2---------+-2-2---2----------------+

D--------4---4-3-2-+------4---4-2-----------+

A-------------------4+--------------4-3-2-4---+

E---------------------+------------------------2-+

G+-2-2---2---------+-2-2---2----------------+

D--------4---4-3-2-+------4---4-2-3----------+

A-------------------4+-----------------4-2-4---+

The first seems closer. I've never seen that second version before.

 

This guy seems to have it right:

He's doing Max's version 2. I always thought version 1 was correct, but in the following video Geddy is playing version 2. If you go to 3;25 and slow down the video to 0.25 speed, you can see Geddy's fingering pretty clearly.

First one is what I've seen and sounds closest to what Ged plays.

But is the fingering 4-2-3 on the D string, or 4-3-2?

4-3-2

 

I now see why you're asking that, looking at version 2 it shows 4-2-3, I didn't pick up on that at first. So, it should be:

 

G--2-2---2-----------+-2-2---2---------------------+
D------4---4-3-2-----+-----4---4-3-2---------------+
A-----------------4--+---------------4---2---4-----+
E--------------------+--------------------------2--+

yes !

apologies ! my mistake. i should have written 4-3-2 on D strings.

 

i understand there is no "definitive" answer although version 2 seems to be the correct one.

 

good news for me as I find it easier to play.

 

a big thanks to you all.

I think that shot of Geddys left hand that I pointed out in that video is pretty definitive.

I posted a version of it years ago but in standard notation. I can't read tab

It was in this forum, but it was a photobucket link. I'll re-scan them and figure out a way to post them again.

 

It was a hobby I started back in '91. I decided to transcribe Limelight one night because the versions I had were nowhere near accurate. Before I knew it I was obsessed. I've done about 55 Rush tunes from the entire catalog, as well as Marillion's Misplaced Childhood album, the Who's Tommy and a few Bela Fleck tunes.

 

I'm sure there's software now to make it easier, but I'm old fashioned. I still sit there with a few sharpened pencils and some manuscript paper and play the song a measure or two at a time.

would love to see, and pay a tribute, to this obsessive work.
