ORANGE RANGE - ASTERISK
Authors Notes:
Well, I first heard this Japanese song, about 2 weeks from writing this, from the
Anime Bleach, as the intro. Sooner or later I was determinded to find out how to
play the guitar riffs and tunes. So later I got my hands on the Asterisk full
version and wasn't as impressed as it was somehow different from the intro. I just
decided to keep listening to the Anime version. As there aren't really any tabs on
the net of Asterisk that I've seen, I've decided to stick this on for those people
intrested. NOTE however that the tabs shown here will be from the OST of Bleach and
not the full version.
{Standard tuning}
Playing Notice:
The tabs my sound odd at first, but you can download the OST of Asterisk for Bleach
at www.bleachportal.net (Must be a member). If you already have the soundtrack, then
listen through the parts of which is shown here and try to follow along. There will
be various parts of the song here as I am not fully finished finding out all the tabs,
nor am I sure if a set of tabs are for a bass or a guitar as I only own an Acoustic.
The numbers shown in the 'title' of each set of tabs are how long each set is played
for eg. the first one 00.00-00.16 means the first 16 seconds of the soundtrack.

Please bare with me here. I'm not sure if this is a bass or a guitar part and the tabs
too simple however I've written them as if it were for a guitar. Can be improved and revised.

][2nd Electric Riff (Background) = 00.31-00.47][
Basically this bit just repeats itself over and over even though it sounds like it's
This is relitively easy to learn after about a few days practicing.

Again with this bit, I'm not sure if this is for the bass or guitar and is in guitar
It's hard for me bacuse I have a classical acoustic and it's difficult to tell.
