A augmentedA and
BB chords, and I am too tired to type them in) I got the TAB for "Time Stand Still" off the ftp site and noticed that the intro was heinously incorrect. I realize the person who wrote it said it wasn't 100% correct, and I am posting the correction in a civilized manner :) I'll post more Rush TAB if there are enough people interested. There's a pretty good-size collection going at the site, and most of it's correct that I've seen, and I want to add to it as much as I can. Alex Lifeson is my favorite guitarist, and I know how to play most of Rush's tunes.
