Harvest Moon - Together (Star Night Festival)

This is the piece I'm working on for submission to the SNES theme project.

Original Song: Star Night Festival (MP3)
First 8 Bars transcribed in GuitarPro: Star Night - First 8 (GP5)

The piece is in F# Major (by my transcription,) so I'm transposing it up a half to G Maj, which I'm more comfortable with on guitar.

You'll note the bass and harmony are both 2-bar ostinato patterns. I plan to give both some time to stand (mostly) on their own in my arrangement, with the following basic structure:

BASS PART (emphasis on 'I' finger:)
330xxx   :  TIMI x4
570xxx   :  TMIM x4
-------
HARMONY LINE: (emphasis on T)
xx2x00   :  TIMT
xx023x   :  TIMT

If I can get the dynamics right, I would hope to perform the first lead line (another 2-bar repeat) like:

e|----3-3p2h3-2h3/5--p0----|----3-3p2h3-2-3-5--7----|

But I have trouble getting decent volume for legato stuff that low on the neck.

MP3 will come up tonight with my idea of performance for these parts, and likely further writing/tabs as I work on ideas. I just wanted to get this thread started so I don't forget.

Alright, well here's the whole thing transcribed and transposed up a semi-tone:
Star Night Festival (in G) (GP5)

You could record a decent cover of this track using these tabs. Here are the two bars repeating for the bass and harmony:

Harmony: (let ring, repeat)
      E  E  H.              E  E  H.            
E||----------------------|--------0------------|
B||---------3------------|-----0---------------|
G||*-----2---------------|--------------------*|
D||*--0------------------|--2-----------------*|
A||----------------------|---------------------|
E||----------------------|---------------------|
Bass: (repeat)
        >   >   >   >   >   >   >   >        >       >       >       >

This thing is totally wrong :)

Justin helped me out with note identification yesterday on the bass line, and it changes things significantly.

Glad I asked now instead of after trying to arrange a song with the bass all wrong, but I wasn't even close.
