This arrangement is EPIC Auri nice job on this it sounds beautiful =)

@demigorgon 15 years ago

i might give this one a whirl, very nice!

@Brave Toaster 15 years ago

Gosh, this just sounds EXCELENT. Fits perfectly a simple, humble guitar. This is one great arrangement for one great song. Thank you for sharing it with us, I'll try learning that one now!

@MaxStone28 15 years ago

Love the sound but curse the difficulty, i still love you tho

@Colin_spade 15 years ago

so beautiful gave it a nickle ^^

@diralark 14 years ago

amazingly nice tab. Btw for beginners, try a -5 semi-tone transposing to obtain a "easy to play" version. Using capo at 4th bar it sounds pretty

Well, it would sound bad if you did that, because you'd be throwing away important bass notes. How would you rewrite the arpeggios to preserve the bass, transposed?

You right , -5 translation will be destructive, so before Translate, I always try to preserve what is possible to be preserved from the first string (to the third string generally)

bar n°1 : bass note is condamned |+|

barn°2 : I can save her using third chord & +2 bar    [*** so 1 become (3) on third chord  ***]
--0------------------|
--1---3-1------------|

-(3)-----------------| [*]

bar n°9 : I can replace bass note with a medium one [ 3 become (5) on third chord  ], result will can be ok or not

After translation, tab isn't complete coz 4 bass notes missed -_-

beginner version (some bass notes missing)

Criticism about new notes added : playing new tab bar n°1,2,21 seems not bad (for my beginner ears). I ear the medium new note bar 9 sounds a bit strange. medium note bar n°10 sounds a bit ugly, well hum maybe its best to remove it (?).

Well finally indeed this easy version sounds not pretty as original do, it s not a surprise coz an easier version is generally destructive. Must consider that like an easy way for beginners (or lazy people :)

Of course, people wich want a pretty sound will have to play orignal tab.

Two to three lines in I was thinking, "This is amazing so far--I hope it doesn't let me down by having a compromise that destroys the musicality" but it held up all the way. Gorgeous tab!

I do finger a couple of things differently, but I'll just bother with notating them if I end up posting a recording here.

@musenji 10 years ago

I play line four:

--0-----------0-----------|--0-----------0--7--8--7--|--0-----------0-----------|
--------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
--------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|

Like this, barring the first two measures so that the bass doesn't have to cut out when the 7 on D is played:

E  E  E  E  E  E  E  E     E  E  E  E  E  E  E  E     E  E  E  E  E  E  E  E

-----7--8--7-----7--8--7--|-----7--8--7-----7--8--7--|--0-----------0-----------|
--5-----------5-----------|--5-----------5-----------|--------------------------|
--------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|

...it is definitely a stretchier, maybe even uncomfortable, fingering, but I like it better musically. The bottom bass note hasn't been cut anywhere else but in this spot so I really prefer to keep it uncut here as well.
