Rush – Fly By Night (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

Tabbed by: BASSteve *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. GUITAR INTRO
