YYZ by Rush
YYZ
The Origin of the title "YYZ"?
------------------------------
YYZ is the airport code for Toronto Canada. If you ever travel to
Toronto, you'll notice the "YYZ" on your baggage ticket. The intro
to this song on the crotale is based on the letters Y Y Z in Morse
code. In Morse code, the letter Y is "-.--" (dash dot dash dash)
and the letter Z is "--.." (dash dash dot dot). Thus, YYZ becomes:
"-.---.----.." or
"dash dot dash dash dash dot dash dash dash dash dot dot".
Crotale (5/4)

Tablature Explanation:
NT= Nashville Tuning is when the low E, A, D and G strings are replaced
with lighter gauge strings and tuned one octave higher than normal.
| = bar separating measures
~ = vibrato
x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note
. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it
h = hammer
p = pull
s = slide (used when \ or / don't fit)
^ = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret shown in parenthesis ()
r = release bend (string/fret may be indicated)
t = fret board tap (not many of these with Rush)
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
x/= pick slide up
x\= pick slide down
<5> = natural harmonic (lightly touch the string at fret indicated)
[5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)
(5) = note sustained from previous measure
o =\ repeat sign
o =/
D.C. = "Da capo" - means "from the head", when you see these initials
you go back to the beginning of the piece of music.
D.S. = "Dal segno" - means "from the sign", go back in the tabulature
only as far as the (%) sign.
Coda = A passage at the end of a movement or composition that brings
it to a formal close.
Al Coda = means "to the tail", tells you that you must go to the end
section which starts with the Coda sign (+).
R.F. = repeat and fade
rit. = "ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding.
Other pertinent information:
Tempo: 1/4 note = varies
Tuning: Standard [EADGBe].
Key signature:
Effects: Overdrive, Chorus, Ambient delay and reverb
