The tuning is DADEAB and here's how to re-tune your guitar. Lower the first string until it equals the B of the second string; then lower the second string until it is one octave above the A of the fifth string; and tune down the third string until it is one octave above the E of the sixth string; finally, lower the sixth string down to one octave below the D of the fourth string. This is my first attempt at tabbing, so please give me your opinions. In bars 10, 12, 14, 25, 26, barre the 3 lower strings with the 3rd finger while fretting the third string with your pinky; in bars 3,4,7,8,15,16,23,24, barre 3 lower strings with first finger and fret upper notes with 2nd and 3rd fingers Other notes s = slide h= (x2444x@1)hammer on p = pull off Good Luck (I found it easier once I heard the song a few times) Again, let me know how you make out Steve Shikaze shikaze@cgribm.uwaterloo.ca -3---1-0--------|-------0-------0|---------------0|---------------3| -----------0----|---0-------3----|-----0-----0----|----------------| -------0-------3|-----0----------|-------3-------2|-------3--------| ---2---------2--|---2---------2--|-----2-------2--|-----2-------2--| -0-------0------|-0-------0------|---2-------2----|---2-------2----| ----------------|----------------|-2-------2------|-2-------2------| s -----1-0--------|-------0-------0|---------------0|--------------/5| -----------0----|---0-------3----|-----0-----0----|----------------| -------0-------3|-----0----------|-------3-------2|-------3--------| ---2---------2--|---2---------2--|-----2-------2--|-----2-------2--| -0-------0------|-0-------0------|---2-------2----|---2-------2----| ----------------|----------------|-2-------2------|-2-------2------| s s -----6-5--------|---1----------/5|-----6-5--------|--------------/5| -----------3---0|-----------0----|-----------3---0|----------------| -------3-----3--|-------3--------|-------3-----3--|-------3--------| -----3-----3----|-----3-------3--|-----3-----3----|-----3-------3--| ---0------------|---3-------3----|---0------------|---3-------3----| -0-------0------|-3-------3------|-0-------0------|-3-------3------| -----6-5--------|---1-------1---3|----------------|-------0-------3| -----------3---0|---------0------|-------2-------0|---------------0| -------3-----3--|-------3--------|-------3-------2|-------2-------1| -----3-----3----|-----3-------3--|-----2-------2--|-----2-------2--| ---0------------|---3-------3----|---2-------2----|---2-------2----| -0-------0------|-3-------3------|-2-------2------|-2-------2------| s ----------------|---------------3|------13------10|---------------3| ------2/3------0|---------------0|------10-------8|-------7-------0| -------1-------1|---------------1|-------0------10|-------8-------1| -----0-------0--|-----0h2-----0--|-----0-------0--|-----0-------0--| ---0-------0----|---0-------0----|---0-------0----|---0-------0----| -0-------0------|-0-------0------|-0-------0------|-0-------0------| -----------0----|---------------3|-------0--------|---------------1| -------3-p-0---0|-------3--------|---------------0|-------2--------| -------5-------1|------1p0-------|-------3-------2|-------0--------| -----0-------0--|-----0-------0--|-----2-------2--|-----2-------2--| ---0------------|---0-------0----|---2-------2----|---2-------2----| -0-------0------|-0-------0------|-2-------2------|-2-------2------| ---------------0|-------0-------0|--------| -------0--------|-------0------0-|---0----| -------3--------|-------5-----5--|-------0| -----3-------3--|-----5-----5----|-----7--| ---3-------3----|---5------------|--0-----| -3-------3------|-5-------5------|-7-----0|
