FF1 Town theme for single guitar, based on the 2-guitar tab by laoise. I'm sure it can be improved, but this is my first pass (GP5, PDF, TXT and MID):

Guys, we need to improve our WIP-activity. So I'll satrt-off right here.

I'd say the lead is fine, but the bass bothers me, alot actually. Most parts of it sound horribly off to me, so here is my suggestion for your first line:

Sounds better this way, eh? Maybe you can try and continue what I've started. You could also use a MIDI to get all the notes right.
Good luck, looking forward to this. =)

I can agree with you on the tonal changes. I prefer the rhythm I originally had in the bass (bars 3-4,) but the way you notated is certainly easier to play.

I've got an adjusted version made which also brings the fingering up to first position when possible (as yours showed) but will be consulting some MIDI reference/NSF reference for it, and I want to at least make a coda or something before considering for submission.

Thanks for your guidance, and sorry I can't really help on the Haruhi piece you are working on!

(as I have it now, with your bass line where provided:)

I think some parts need to be more continuous and fleshed out. But overall I think it's pretty good.

For example I might change the second line to something like this:

                                                        ^           ^
  E  E  E  E  E  E  E  E     E  E  E  E  E  E  E  E     E  E  E  E  Q    Q     
--0--------------------0--|--8--------8--8-----7--5--|--3-----0--1--0---------|
--------------1-----------|--------5-----------------|--0--3--------1----1----|
-----------0-----0--------|-----5-----------7--------|--0-----------0---------|
--------2-----------2-----|--7-----------------------|--2-----------2---------|
-----3--------------------|--------------------------|--2-----------3---------|
--------------------------|--------------------------|--0---------------------|

Also I think this chord sound really good on the last measure.
