Rush: Digital Man

From the album Signals (Mercury Records)

Music by Lee and Lifeson

Lyrics by Peart

Comments/corrections to Rich Soto

Updated 29 May 1998

Eternal thanks and credit go to Joe ,

to Jimmy Pena , to Charles D. Bruce

, and to Sean Carroll

for their tremendous help and opinions. After all the tabs I've done,

this has given me the most trouble! A very elusive piece at times. The

solo was surprisingly not troublesome! Be aware that the bass notes

in Rhy.3 marked with * aren't always played/heard. After the 4th time

Rhy.1 is played there is a little fill that is also very noisy, wierd,

& puzzling. After careful study and watching the 1982 Montreal Forum

Signals video, I believe this to be various hammer-ons w/pick as

tabbed. Riff-A is the kicker! After several possibilities and again

watching the video, and consulting with my psychic ( & real) friends,

I've come to the riff as tabbed. The guitar is super thick with chorus,

bouncing delayed repeats, etc...
