Subject: Broon's Bane for 5-string bass
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. Here's the tab!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official RUSH tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
