In the Mood

Subject: "In The Mood" by Rush Here's the Tab for "In The Mood" by RUSH This document uses Courier New at 10 Point, for those who use MS Word to print and edit. I am also assuming that you know the timing and feel for the song, and that Alex's chord are really power chords. The solo that Alex plays is in the A minor pentatonic from the fifth fret, it's pretty easy to come up with you own variations. I have mine, but I'm too lazy to fill it in. Even though the song is pretty easy to play, I suggest practicing each part seperately, and then combine them to speed.
