You can play it the way you want, but i think it sounds better like this ^^.

Awww, the new layout messed up all my tabs (except Tapion's Theme)...

how do i play 0 0 4 ?

guess it's a noobish question but help would be apreciated.

You place your index finger

Submitted by Kain on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 16:57.

You place your index finger on the open string, your middle finger on the first 4, and your pinky on the second 4 and pinch the strings together... If that makes much sense. The fingers you use can be changed up to fit your style.

Wow, that's pretty odd for

Submitted by musenji on Wed, 12/21/2011 - 03:04.

Wow, that's pretty odd for me. I would use thumb for the bottom string, index for the middle and ring for the top. I never use my right-hand pinky.

Hello, i had a question on

Submitted by DarknessinZero on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 20:33.

Hello, i had a question on how to play measures four and five. I can play through most of this tab fine, but when i play those two measures they do not sound right. I read through the comments that there are arpeggiated parts, is this why? I am learning this song for my guitar midterm tomorrow, so quick help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

my best advice is to mess

Submitted by wayfaerer on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 20:52.

my best advice is to mess with it a little, and keep trying til it works, cause trust me, it does.

sai-doom has an awesome tab here; what notes in particular are you speaking of?

Is there any particular way

Submitted by DarknessinZero on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 22:09.

Is there any particular way you would recommend playing this part? It's the line where it goes:
|--------2-----0-----------|--------------------------|
|--------3-----------3-----|--1-----1-----0-----------|
|-----2-----2-----2-----2--|-----2--------------2-----|
|--4-----0-----------0-----|--2--------2-----2--------|
|--0-----------0-----------|--0-----0--------------0--|
|--0-----------------0-----|--------------------------|
and I guess here too:
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|--2----------2--------2--|
|--4----0--4-----0--4-----|
|--0----------------------|
|--0----------------------|

Most everything else has sounded correct. Thanks for replying.

okay, i see what youre talkin

Submitted by wayfaerer on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 15:30.

okay, i see what youre talkin about, but i dont really have a recommendation for it man, sorry haha.

i agree that that part doesnt sound right, but it sounds good all the same; if i were you id just play it that way anyhow, just to keep with the rhythm and flow of the arrangement.
