I've been thinking about how sometimes we look up tabs online but find out they're not as good as they can be. So I was thinking this could be a thread where TL members could request tabs and then if anyone here plays guitar can tab the bits they need. I am happy to provide my services too, I generally have a good ear so can come up with chords quite well but have not had much experience playing lead guitar so am limited in that area.
Here is my request... I found a few YouKu videos of people playing it but it's a bit hard to see so it'd mean heaps to me if someone could help me out and tab out the fingerpicking parts.

So far I have figured out that it's in standard tuning but half a step down in key. The chords for the verses appear to be F G C and the chorus is C Bm Am G F G C. I don't know how to do the twirly 'lead' guitar riff bits. Here are the words:
作詞：張震嶽 作曲：張震嶽
編曲：張震嶽
總有些驚奇的際遇 比方說當我遇見你
你那雙溫柔剔透的眼睛 出現在我夢裡
我的愛就像一片雲 在你的天空無處停
多渴望化成陣陣的小雨 滋潤你心中的土地
不管未來會怎麼樣 至少我們現在很開心
不管結局會怎麼樣 至少想念的人是你
我不會把它當作遊戲 因為我真心對你
總有些話是不能提 怕你會掉入選擇題
我把情感自私的那一面 隱藏在黑夜裡
我的愛就像一片舟 在你的心湖無處停
尋尋覓覓一個美麗的港灣 希望不再流
浪漂蕩
我不管未來會怎麼樣 至少我們現在很開心
我不管結局會怎麼樣 至少想念的人是你
我不管未來會怎麼樣 但我每天都想見到你
我不管結局會怎麼樣 我想真的跟你在一起
如果你還是沒法相信 真的沒關係 我會
安靜的離去

I second the recommendation on UG.
Question: Is Guitar Pro 6 expensive?
|
Or you could torrent GP5  . So easy to find. Lol. But I support this thread 
|
guitar pro costs 60 dollars, don't torrent it it is a great piece of software and is worth the price as far as I am concerned (unless you're a cheap 12 year old that thinks copyright laws are evil or smthng w/e)

What exactly is Guitar Pro? I guess I could search, but I don't particularly want to...

Guitar Pro is a Tab/Sheet program that will play the music you write back for you. its sweet because anyone who can read tab or read sheet can use it. i love it a lot because my band mates cant read music (QQ) and i hate tab, so they can tab stuff and it instantly writes the sheet music that i can read. defiantly worth checking out if you spend a lot of time writing tabs or sheet. i haven't seen GP6 but GP5 is awesome.

You can also use it to easily write music and your own tabs without wasting paper, it's a phenomonal program. A free program of similar quality exists called tabl edit, but it cannot read .gp5 files which are the most common kinds of tab files.

Don't get guitar pro, download tuxedoguitar, it can read any guitar pro file and is free. However if your trying to compose and want all the sounds and gadgets this program will not suffice as it's midi files are lol at best.
If anyone needs tabs I have a good ear and am more then happy to help.

Personally, i believe that using tabs is for the beginners to use. Being a professional musician (worked on some records in Montreal and in Thailand) i can't really recommend guitarist to use tabs other than to figure out the harder parts of solos.
If you are just playing guitar purely as a hobby and you dont have time to invest into learning the craft, i guess it's okay, but don't always use them if you are taking it seriously.
The first trick is to tune your guitar without a tuner. You got to have the C note imprinted in your mind.
You have to be able to recognize the basic chords by ears. The major and the minor ones. You should know to a certain extend what a 7th, minor 7th and major 7th sounds like. It's normal to confuse the 6th and the 9th extention, or th 4th and the 2nd, but you should at least have an idea.
As for solos, it's important to recognize the patterns. You starts with the cliches, and then the more technical ones. You should get a sense of when a players is doing finger tapping or sweeping an arpeggio. i'm not saying that you should know right away that the guy's sweeping a Fadd 11. You should also try to listen to other instruments, and imagine how could you translate it on a guitar. Don't take piano, as it won't be truly representative, but saxophone and wind instruments can be good tests . I took a whole day once to arrange A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. My god, the number of sweep arpeggio in this piece....
So, it's great to start with tabs, but once you come across a nice song and you can't play it just because there's no tab for it (and 90% aren't accurate anyway)well that just sucks.

This thread is relevant to my interests.
I think the above poster is right though, I'll make a note of these for me to learn. I'm a "hobbyist" guitarist, meaning I don't practice, I just play whenever I feel like it. I'm not progressing very quickly, but that doesn't bother me, since I'm having fun, and that's the only reason I've ever played.
Could someone try the Dialga/Palkia battle from D/P/P? Not strictly a guitar song, but... Yeah. I tried once and failed epically.

Instead of spending time looking up tabs, just learn some scales instead. You can't become a good or even mediocre player if you need tabs to be able to tell what someone else is playing. Also as someone said above, it's ridiculous how many tabs on the internet are not even close to correct. This is probably because no one who is even remotely serious about guitar would ever waste time tabbing out a song, unless they're a teacher of a student who has no ambition. So to summarize: tabs are a poor use of your time, and most of them are wrong anyway.

Side note for you guys: http://www.songsterr.com/
I found that site a while ago and it's pretty much an online version of guitar pro. Definitely useful for anyone learning some songs to know, although not all of the tabs are the highest quality. Actually, it might be cool if we added whatever songs we tabbed out to Songsterr (and gametabs.net if it turns out to be a video game song).
ArcticVanguard - could you find me audio for that fight? I could give it a shot but I'm not sure how much time I currently have.

Well you can make some money doing transcriptions of pieces of musics, i know, i did! But i swear the tabbers can't understand what a 7th chord is. They just have no idea.

When I started out playing guitar I relied on tabs for every song, but then there were songs I couldn't find tabs for so I forced myself to learn them by ear and it really helps your playing I think. After that I started spotting so many mistakes in tabs you get from the internet that I mostly stopped using them. It can be helpful sometimes to get the basics of something down fast, or if there's something you really can't figure out.

In the words of George Costanza, "Why pay for something when if I apply myself, maybe I could get it for free?"
