I fixed it for you Cameron. Remember to use code tags around your tabs so they will format correctly. It says so right below this text box.

the high pitched note one is the best

Michael

Fri, 07/27/2007 - 00:01

Hey guys, would it not be a tad easier to do it this way? I mean I guess you could play this on higher notes but for some of us it sounds better on a low note.

Same with Maranda's version, shouldn't some notes be played down on separate strings to let notes ring?

I say E5 B6 and G8 should be the first part, Imo.
Leave E5, E8, E7 alone... Maybe switch the E3 following to B8 and kind of follow through with that...

all thouse tabs sound good but the original is the best lol i love that song it sounds good no matter how high or low

gumballthechewy

Sun, 10/14/2007 - 00:33

could some one do a bass tab? i think it would sound good the tone is low so i just figured.

Zap

Sun, 10/14/2007 - 14:47

I think Eric's way is the best so far

But when you get to

e-------
B-------
G-2-5-4-
D-------
A-------
E-------

I feel like theres something still missing
Maybe this?
e---------
B---0-----
G-2---5-4-

Zap

Sun, 10/14/2007 - 14:55

thats still not right but the idea is is
there's something missing here
Doesnt it progress up 2 more notes before it gets deap again?

WTF!! the first parts r wrong on all of these. have u guys heard the song b4??? WTF!!!

No, Anonymous is mistaken. That tab is correct. Though I would put the tab up an octave. Don't forget that the guitar sounds 1 octave below it's written notes. Even though if you played the tab on the piano both the guitar and the piano would appear to play the same notes, the guitar voices one octave below it. For exmample, play middle C on a piano and then the equivalent C on the guitar. Going by written notes it would be 4th string 3rd fret but in actuality it is 2nd string 1st fret. Just something to be aware of when transcribing for the guitar.

i think we should all dig up our old N64's
(mine already "dug up")

and listen to the song of time in the extremely lit up church in hyrule then maybe we can settle this in a battle royal :/

no but seriously wy dont we write it down while your listening to it

Good tab, sound quite good, i don't really care if it is really the same octave or whatever... the song is similar to what i know, and help me to improve my skill (i'm playing guitar for my 3rd week, don't have a teacher).

I don't know what you guys are talking about. there is nothing wrong with this tab. Also, Maranda's is good too. It is the tabs for the full temple of time music. Trust me, my friend and I are LoZ addicts. the tabs are right.

By the way, awesome job once again archard

Most of you are just placing either exactly the same frets, spaced differently, or the same notes on different frets.

Also, I think it sounds better on a lower fret. As I remember it (haven't touched the game in a while however), it's pretty deep. Not when you're playing it in the ocarina, but when you're hearing it in the temple.
