What if you used: D5 and D2 instead of B6 and G7 and then also G3 and D5 instead of e5 and b6? Not really sure since it's been a while since I played the game.

Nope, those are the wrong notes. Notice in the first part they are the same notes played one octave higher.

Actually that octave higher is just when the song kinda "responds", its like the 3 0 3 0 2 3 2 3 part, then an octave higher response after, then the second part, then the "solo".

It sounds alright, you just gotta time it well.

The end is good once you play it at the right speed.

Instead of

G---2------
D-----3-2-0

at the end this sounded prettier...

B-6/5-3----- (Pluck six and slide to five... =P)

I dunno, sounds right for me.

I think the main "song" part sounds good as

D 3-0-3-0--3-3
A --------4-4

But thats just me...

Heheh, they made the ending as tough as possible for beginners, didn't they? Well, it was a very good tab (coming from a novice to guitar and a know nothing to tabbing).

I'm looking to transpose some of these tabs to a trumpet. Is there a certain way? I'm not familiar with guitar notes, so I'm not sure what a guitar's note would be if you asked for a B flat major note.

That, and I can't read tabs so well to even figure out what note is what XD

This might help you transpose tabs, assuming you know at least a little bit (just the basics) of music theory:

A guitar is tuned, from lowest (thickest) string to highest (thinnest) string as follows, E A D G B e, with the high e two octaves higher than the lowest E. Frets divide the string by *half-steps*, i.e., 1st fret on the lowest string is F, 2nd is F#, 3rd is G, 5th is A, and so on, up to 12th which is one octave. The 5thh fret on any string is the same as the string higher than is played open, with the exception of the g string, in which case it is the 4th. Example, the 5th fret of the E string is the same as the A string played open (or 0), and the 4th fret of the g string is the same as the b string. Make sense?

Now, tabs simply tell you what fret to play on what string with each line representing a string, so...

this is e|----------1-0---|
this is B|--------1-----1-|
this is G|------2---------|
this is D|----3-----------|
this is A|--3-------------|
this is E|1---------------|

This would be played as 1st fret on the thickest (E) string (an F), then the 3rd on the A string (C) then 3rd on the D string (F), then 2nd on the G string (A), then 1st on the B string (C), then 1st on the e string (f), then the e string played open (e), then 1st on the B string again, (C). These would all be played as separate notes, as opposed to all at once. which I will talk about in a second. (in case anyone is wondering, this is an F major arpeggio, with a fun ending.)

Alternately, some tabs will have things that look like this:

e|--1-------------|
B|--1-------------|
G|--2-------------|
D|--3-------------|
A|--3-------------|
E|--1-------------|

This is a chord, F major, actually, where all the notes are played at one time. Obviously, you can't play a chord on a trumpet, because you can't play six notes at one time. If you needed to transcribe this for an instrument such as a trumpet, you would probably just play the root note, (F in this case.)

hope this helps!

it should be lik this

e------------------------------5---5--
B----------------------6---6-----6---6
G----------2---2---------7---7--------
D--3---3-----3---3--------------------
A----5---5----------------------------
E-------------------------------------

e-----------------
B----------0---0--
G--0---0-----0---0
D----2---2--------
A-----------------
E-----------------

This part needs to be played fast and steady or it won't sound right.

e------------------1---1---5---5---3---3---1--------
B----------3---3-----3---3---5---5---2---2----------
G--2---2-----2---2---------------------------2------
D----3---3-------------------------------------3-2-0
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------

I was just about to comment the exact same thing Cory said... It sounds better than 3-0-3-0, because it lets the notes ring, like they should. Other than that it's a sweet tab!

I don't like how low it goes at the end, something tells me that it should end on a higher scale. I think instead of

-1
---
--2
---3-2-0

it should be something more like

-1--1-0
--------3
--2------

something like that.

this part sounds kind of wrong

e-3---3---------
b---2---2-------

and i think BDawgPHD is right about the higher scale thing

I'm not understanding where the bad ratings are coming from, it sounds great to me.
