Title: Natural Science Artist: Rush Album: Permanent Waves (1980) [Mercury Records] 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 4:06 (faster) e------14~------0------------15----------------------------------------------| b--12v------10v---10------15--------14-15--12~---7-10-7-10p7---7-10p7--------| g---------------------12v-------13v--------------------------9--------b~~-| d----------------------------------------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------------------------------------| e----------------------------------------------------------------------------| (much faster) e---------------------------------------------------------------------------| b--------------------------------/15-14-14-14-14-14-17-14-14-14-14-14-15-14-| g----9brp7-9p7-9-b~~~----------------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e--------------------------------------------------------------------------| b-14-14-14-14-17-14-14-14-14-14-15-15-14-14-------14-14-15-14-14-14-14-14--| g-------------------------------------------16-16--------------------------| d--------------------------------------------------------------------------| a--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e--------------------------------------------------------------------------| (slower) e--------------------------------------------------------------------------| b-15-14-14-14-14-14-17-\12-9-9-9-9-9-12-9-9-9-9-9-------9-9--12b-12b~--12b-| g-------------------------------------------------11-11--------------------| d--------------------------------------------------------------------------| a--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e--------------------------------------------------------------------------| (hold the bend) (release) (bend) hold the tap e----------------------------------------------------------------------------| b-12-10h12p10---------12b-----t15~-p12b--r12--t17~-p12-12b-t19--r19-p19-15b~-| g-------------12sb~~---------------------------------------------------------| d----------------------------------------------------------------------------| a----------------------------------------------------------------------------| e----------------------------------------------------------------------------| (repat this last line 4 times) e---------------------------------------------------------------------------| b--15br-13-15~-12-13-15-----------------------------------------------------| g---------------------------------------------------------------------------| d---------------------------------------------------------------------------| a---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Another way to play the first line of the solo, is with natural harmonics, like this.
