Author/Artist: Rush
Title: Carve Away The Stone
Album: Test For Echo (Atlantic 82925 2)
Transcribed by: Richard J Soto

January 19, 2002
Previously tabbed by Chris Iacovella, and previous additional considered
& taken comments/advice given by Chuck Bruce.
After close scrutiny & careful review, this was main referenced
from the "Official T4E Tab Book" because I find *most* of this
song correct in that book. The song has many, many layers of
guitars in many many places so this tab is aimed for one guitarist
to replicate it in a live setting.

Solo transcribed in October 2020
