bpm=~113; capo=1; standard tuning


version 1.00
What a mess was this! I really thought in the beginning it can be played with one guitar, but if you
want to play it properly you should at least play this song with two persons.
Still, the tab is done for one person, but I'm not really content with it. It's very hard to remove
notes, even though I still felt you need them. Well, try to enjoy it, but I tell you, it's tough.

Ow crap, I totally forgot...

Capo should be 1 if you want to play it in original tuning. My apologies for not putting that in. If there are any more changes that need to be made, I will update the txt.

You must have put a lot of effort in it, it looks pretty nice! It is a hard song to make a solid arrangement of. But in spite of my skills I couldn't play it properly. Maybe you could make an Guitar Pro version of it so that we can have a better notion of the song?

... I don't have Guitar Pro version at the moment. I use tablEdit. I know it's the standard program used at this site, but I'm not sure using it. At the moment, I feel more confident using what I currently know. Can't you import the .txt into Guitar Pro? Although I haven't used it in tablEdit (thus not knowing if it works properly), it's possible in tablEdit to import a .txt and transforming it in a music sheet.

This is probably the best difficult-fingering-training gametabs have to offer :D It's too bad that there are no length-marks but after playing it through 10 times or so I got the hang of it.

So, if or when you feel confident in playing this song, could you send me a link when you upload a recording of this? Or any other recording of this particular tab is fine with me as well.

Because in hindsight, I think this is an almost impossible tab to execute. I play only the melody and bass notes, except the final 16 measures for I play that myself confidently.

So if you or anyone else uploads a recording of this, keep me posted!
