This would be a lot easier to read if the rhythm and lead parts were separated, but this is good nonetheless!

@Jotoun 16 years ago

From what I can play, it sounds very good. But as suggested above, sperate them. I cant play anything after the 3rd Section.

@Stamen47 16 years ago

Your comments are kind of confusing to me (no offense). Separate them? You mean have a guitar 1 and guitar 2? That would sort of defeat the purpose of playing it on one guitar. Can you not play anything after the 3rd section because it's unreadable? (although I don't see how this tab is any more unreadable than any of my other tabs...but maybe all my tabs are indecipherable) Can you be any more specific on what you mean by separating them?

@tom 16 years ago

I'm still pretty new with guitar tabs, do the asterisks actually mean anything?

@BluePhoenix 16 years ago

seriously Stamen, if you made an album I would buy it.

@yoshistrings 16 years ago

me too.

@Darknox 12 years ago

it´s good as it is. Don´t understand why they want you to separate it.

@LeonFF7 12 years ago

Thx, Ive just discovering this incredible tab now!!!

@Crazymoogle 12 years ago

Silly to want a separate lead and rhythm...epic tab :)

@musenji 12 years ago

I agree that this tab doesn't need to be separated, but to those who don't understand why a person would want it separated, or who think it is silly, try playing it yourself at tempo. That means like 90 beats (quarter notes) per minute.

If you're good enough to actually play it, then you must from experience know that in the spectrum of video game music tabs, this one is difficult.

The point of splitting it would be to make it easier, and I find it totally understandable that some people less experienced with advanced left hand shifting (yes, I said advanced) would think it wasn't possible. It was a pain in --my-- ass, and I've had two years of formal classical training.

Sassy pants has spoken.

@Choogly 12 years ago

I agree with everything you said Musenji, except for your opinion of the difficulty of this piece. I suppose it's nitpicking in the face of your other points, but I'd say this falls in the advanced intermediate (if intermediate is a B, advanced intermediate is a B+. Advanced is A) category.

This piece is definitely tricky, especially when you have to keep it up tempo, but there wasn't really much that was particularly demanding in and of itself. For me, that's what separates advanced pieces from all the rest.

I know that's a fairly personal standpoint, but I'm sure there are other players that will agree that in terms of technique this piece is not among the most demanding on the site. I'm speaking from a classical background as well, so I'm not just making it up as I go along haha. My lessons went on for over 3 years I think, I've been going on my own since.

just change the 6s on the A string to 1s on the D string and the 5s on the E string to 0 on the A string and youll have a much easier time with this song if youre not as flexible when it comes to hitting those note combinations.
