Rush - Afterimage guitar tab

Rush: Afterimage
From the album Grace Under Pressure (Mercury Records)
Copyright 1984 Core Music Publishing
Music by Lee and Lifeson
Lyrics by Peart

Transcribed by: Richard J. Soto
Email: lerxst@zeus.jersey.net

Previously tabbed by Jimmy Pena  and
by Hemme B. Luttjeboer

This tab is out of order because I've gotten lazy in my old age and made
this tab mainly for the accuracy of the solo although a few other things
are different than previously tabbed versions because of the video.

This tab took FULL advantage of the song's video which was released
in 1985 on Rush's first commercially released home VHS/BETA music video-
/promo compilation, Rush: Through The Camera Eye.
