Well, this is my first tab ever....I was really hoping to make it solo guitar, but
any way that I found to get a good, harmonious sound, I couldn't even hope to play 
it at speed...So either way, here it is.  I just decided to put the rhythm chords
over the tablature because making a whole second section for rhythm would have made 
the tab too long (I think).  I struggled a bit finding the chords, so any input would 
be greatly appreciated! :)
    
      Bm                                    Bm

I didn't realize how badly I wanted to play this song until I played it. Nice tab

Ha, understandable

Yeah, I think the energy of the song and the whole tone make it a great one to play :)

This is a pretty good

This is a pretty good tab!

It's almost totally accurate. The first time the ascending Bm scale plays, though, it's got one note different: the A should be a B!

-------------|--
-----------0h|2-
-------------|--
-----0h2h4---|--
-2h4---------|--
-------------|--

The other times the ascending scale plays, it IS an A.

You can call the "modified Bm" a Bsus2/F# chord.

The only other criticism I have is the way you wrote out the rhythm. Since this song is in 4/4, you'd expect the notes and rests in each measure to add up to four quarter notes, but they often don't. Also, you should specify whether T is triplets or thirty-seconds.

But really, it's a nice tab, it's easy to play (except for the shifting at the end, which is fine, but not as easy), and the rhythm thing doesn't matter too much if you just listen to the original song. So I'm giving it 5 stars.

Thanks!

Thanks for the in-depth critique! I'm quite new to tabbing as I stated at the top, so on my next tabs I'll be careful to clarify notes and make sure that they add up right!

And yeah, I was a little concerned about that shifting at the end. By the time I felt like I should have separated it, I had submitted it unfortunately...(quite foolish on my behalf, really)

But either way, thanks again for the great advice!

this is a great tab! i love

this is a great tab! i love it, def 5star, ive already memorized it, this has always been a favorite theme
i think it would be great to see the bossa nova version (played when you beat the game) too, if you were planning it, though if you werent, i dont think either deviate from the other too much

Thanks very much :)

I scoured Youtube and found the credits song, and at the moment I'm working on tabbing "Citharede Requiem" but after I finish that, it seems like it would be an interesting challenge and another good song :) I'll definitely give it a shot after I finish!

this seems like a good

this seems like a good version to tab, too.
