Broons Bane Live by Rush Rush: Broon's Bane From the album Exit...Stage Left (Mercury Records) Copyright 1981 Core Music Publishing Music by Lifeson Comments/corrections to Sean Jones -sean@execpc.com- Transcribed by Erik Habbinga Here is my arrangement of Rush's Alex Lifeson's classical guitar solo Broon's Bane for 5 string bass, two handed tapping style. This actually works, believe it or not. However, it is very difficult to convey specific fingerings with tab, so I leave those as an exercise to the reader. However, I have placed a '+' underneath all the notes I play with the right hand. With some of the four note chords, it is hard to tell which hand is playing what. Most of the time, the fingerings become evident later on in the same measure. If anyone really wants to know how I finger a certain part, feel free to ask. I must express my gratitude to Mario D'Alessio and the code for the Bass Tab Creator, which I modified for five-string bass and my own personal tastes in input files. e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
