I really like this arrangement. Definitely just became my next challenge.

@Speedfreak (March 21, 2012 at 7:38 PM)

Oh man I've always loved this song! I can't believe you can play this so smoothly dude, there are some serious positions and stretches going on to maintain the melody. Outstanding tab man, really.

@Yoshi (April 18, 2012 at 9:30 AM)

Too bad my hands are too small for some of the stretches :(

@karathrow (April 19, 2012 at 4:06 AM)

this conversation is taking a turn to weirdville.

@Jacob31593 (April 19, 2012 at 6:28 AM)

whats goin on in hurr

@StrangeJam (April 19, 2012 at 1:24 PM)

The fuck.

@yashakenkyaku (April 19, 2012 at 5:48 PM)

Sounds like a nice arrangement. ^_^

In regards to Musenji: I think I remember you saying something about playing piano. What's the largest stretch you can make there? (7th, Octave?) I think its a better way to measure your hands.

@The Cake is a Pie (December 06, 2012 at 1:44 AM)

I'm pretty sure my fingering is off by a mile... Had to type all of this with my right hand.

@musenji (March 07, 2013 at 6:35 AM)

Okay so. I finally tried this.

Bhael, I have to say this is a pretty gorgeous arrangement. I absolutely loved the sounds that were coming from the guitar, and the fingering is actually very intuitive to me for the most part--it's just much too painful. After one playthrough my left hand was yelling at me to stop.

I'm going to give it a try on my 606mm guitar when I have the chance. If it is more agreeable on that one, I may just work it up and post!

@thedstring (December 23, 2014 at 12:44 AM)

I'm 6'3" and this is about as far as I can stretch and still hear each note completely cleanly:

|--12--|
|------|
|------|
|------|
|------|
|--5---|

I think this is a great way to show a comparison to hand size, everyone go from fret 12 and reach back.

I have to admit though, I wasn't always able to make this stretch, I was a music major for almost 2 years and I've been a guitar teacher for 12 years. I play the hardest songs I know of for classical guitar. Not to toot my own horn, just showing you that with hard work you can get your stretch to be pretty awesome.

People have always said to me "yeah, but your hands are huge!" My wife has said the same thing, but when I hold my hands up to hers to compare palm-to-palm, her palm to tip of fingers length is the same as mine (she's 6 feet tall). I told her the same thing, play a lot, stretch a lot, get your muscles used to doing that and you'll stretch farther than 3 frets.

I've shown her small people that are amazing at guitar, like Andy McKee, I don't know how tall he is, but he seems really short.
