YES! I was looking at my old tab the other day thinking that I would love a classical arrangement for this. Great job. Though I really like the original key. Still good though.
@Kabukibear 17 years ago
I know, it sucks changing keys and all but I have to make a decision between either having to change voicings and rhythms around in the regular key, or staying true to the original in a new key. I usually will choose the latter.
Still though, you can always use a capo to play it in the original key. In this case just put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the tabs as written.
@Nicktendo 17 years ago
Ahh, what a beautiful tab! I never have played this song before! But this is positively divine!
@PolakDave 17 years ago
What's a Capo??

@archard 17 years ago
There's supposed to be a capo for this piece?
@Kabukibear 17 years ago
Replying to:
@archard There's supposed to be a capo for this piece?
In fact you can do that for just about any of my drop D pieces if the lowest note of the original key is above the D. Just put the capo on the proper fret.
@justin 17 years ago
No, but I'm saying if you really are dying to play it in the original key you can put a capo on fret 3.
@archard 17 years ago
SWEET! Capo FTW!
@eddhead 17 years ago
Perfect man!! If only I could play classical better...
@Vaporfarts 17 years ago
there needs to be some sort of thing where it slowly scrolls the page down for you, i hate stopping to continue that tab
@Kabukibear 17 years ago
If you have guitar pro you can play along with the guitarpro file, it will scroll and play the tab. If not I suppose you could just print it out, it's only 2 pages.
@archard 17 years ago
I actually know of a script that does that. I almost installed it awhile ago but just decided not to. Personally I don't find it useful but if enough people want it I can install it.
@vaporeonfarts 17 years ago
the best part about this tab is that the pause in it is convenietely in the spot where you have to scroll down!
@michiro 17 years ago
Yay, Thank God, I started playing acoustic guitar first. Now I have no trouble playing songs like this, wheee!
@Art 16 years ago
Thank you
@MagisterMundi 16 years ago
Wonderful arrangement!
@archard 16 years ago
This song always makes me feel worried and anxious, yet at the same time it makes me feel at ease and somewhat blissful. It's weird.
Well, just giving this arrangement some more love.
@Jason 16 years ago

@Mellotronremix 16 years ago
This is the best tab on Tifa's Theme I've seen.
@styx01x 16 years ago
man, i love your tabs (this one, fishermans horizon, wind scene, etc.). they are demanding but not too difficult and they sound simply beautiful. thanks alot, man, youre my favourite tabber of all time : )
@tomolfc94 16 years ago
Wipes the floor with archrds version (no offense archard but yours is a 2/5 compared to this) AND ONE MORE THING Why are people comlaining about drop d tuning? if its not in drop d then the 6th string sounds out of tune FACT
@Colin_spade 15 years ago
Always a sweet song. to play and listen to.

@enzo2123 15 years ago
hi im new to guitar, does the piece sound really different without the use of a capo on 3rd fret, do i need to use a capo to play this song?

No, you don't need a capo to play this. It will sound exactly the same, just a few semitones lower. You won't notice the difference unless you're playing along with the recording. The capo is only used to make the piece be in the proper key, while still allowing for the easier fingerings.
@seanzi1 15 years ago
Great job kabukibear! I really like this tab and I think the song is very relaxing. Archard you have my vote for an automatic scrolling thing. Sometimes it is pretty useful.
@laoise 15 years ago
Hey Archard, Why Don't You Put Up A Voting Thing For The Automatic Scroller? I Think A Lot Of People Would Vote For It.

another name for "strum" as in strum down from low to high ;)
If there are parts where I skip strings it means to make a strumming sound by plucking each individual string played quickly, low to high.

Accurate transcription, maintaining the delicate texture of the piece, and very practical and guitar-friendly.
@lognar 13 years ago
