RUSH Snakes and Arrows (2007) The larger bowl by Geddy lee Neil Pert and Alex Lifeson tabbed by Matt Lewis ( hunter111mmm@yahoo.com ) ( www.myspace.com\huntersh ) questions and comments there^^^ or on my login at Ultimate Guitar -- at 00:11 and 00:35 the g and b string sound sparkly like the microphone is up to just let it ring and it will sound like it--- ( maybe its a double g string and b string guitar) ok this song was easy for me .. i love it Snakes and Arrows is awesome [032010] C then [X0201X] dont hit the E key throughout the strumming at 12 sec's through out the whole song.... ok beginning (C power cord)strum fast 3 times down-up-down -listen to the song-!! (A cord) (E cord) the guitar is acustic maybe 12 string but it sounds good on my electric amp without overdrive (RIFF A1) e|---------------------------------------------|
