YES! I was looking at my old tab the other day thinking that I would love a classical arrangement for this. Great job. Though I really like the original key. Still good though.

I know, it sucks changing keys and all but I have to make a decision between either having to change voicings and rhythms around in the regular key, or staying true to the original in a new key. I usually will choose the latter.

Still though, you can always use a capo to play it in the original key. In this case just put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the tabs as written.

Ahh, what a beautiful tab! I never have played this song before! But this is positively divine!

There's supposed to be a capo for this piece?

In fact you can do that for just about any of my drop D pieces if the lowest note of the original key is above the D. Just put the capo on the proper fret.

No, but I'm saying if you really are dying to play it in the original key you can put a capo on fret 3.

there needs to be some sort of thing where it slowly scrolls the page down for you, i hate stopping to continue that tab

If you have guitar pro you can play along with the guitarpro file, it will scroll and play the tab. If not I suppose you could just print it out, it's only 2 pages.

I actually know of a script that does that. I almost installed it awhile ago but just decided not to. Personally I don't find it useful but if enough people want it I can install it.

the best part about this tab is that the pause in it is convenietely in the spot where you have to scroll down!

Yay, Thank God, I started playing acoustic guitar first. Now I have no trouble playing songs like this, wheee!

This song always makes me feel worried and anxious, yet at the same time it makes me feel at ease and somewhat blissful. It's weird.

Well, just giving this arrangement some more love.

This is the best tab on Tifa's Theme I've seen.
