I just wanted to bring back so much memories with this epic and lovely song in the best way it can be played in my opinion. Because lonlonjp's arrangement is epic!

Hope you enjoy playing this theme like I do.

lonlon jp has already tabbed this out himself. Unless you have changed anything to make it your own interpretation (in which case it would not be called "lonlonjp version", this will probably not be posted.

Here is his official tab:

Official lonlonjp Aerith's Theme tab

If youd like to see which lonlonjp tabs have already been tabbed, then check out the mega-lonlonjp thread (it is stickied at the top of the submission forum):

Lonlonjp Mega-Thread

Please note that multiple transcriptions of lonlonjp's songs are allowed. Personally, though, if I had an issue with someone else's tab I would make a comment of the corrections instead of posting your own.

Any lonlonjp songs that are not arranged by him and come from an official book (there are a few anime ones) cannot be posted.


EDIT: I'd like to clarify that the lononjp Mega-thread is for those not wanting to waste their time tabbing something that has already been tabbed. Also keep in mind if two versions of the same song do not contain significant differences, the second one will not be posted (due to the possibility that someone just used the first tab for theirs and slightly edited it). Significant differences are subjective, though, and unless one has a lot of errors there probably won't be many differences XD.


Something fun to keep in mind that I haven't really seen is if you throw in your own personal flair into a lonlonjp arrangement (aka change notes/chords/durations/tempo/etc) on purpose, then there is no problem of it being posted, but it will not be called "(lonlonjp version)" as it would be your own version based off of his arrangement.

Ok Sorry and thanks :) Now I can compare between them and see how good the tab of mine was. I will look it up now. I just didn't found this tab on the site itself unless in this thread now ^^. So I think this thread can be deleted ^^.

hmmmm I still think ima post

hmmmm I still prefer to post this one. ThulasDoom spent sometime on this and not to upload this wouldn't be right now I understand what Nate's talkin about tho. What if we uploaded it without lonlonjp version like (based on lonlonjp version) or something to that effect. I'm just throwing out ideas atm Archard, and the rest of the tab unloaders if you read this can you throw in some input on this what do you think?

The analogy I would like to

The analogy I would like to make here is that if one were to make a tab based off of a lonlonjp video that was already tabbed by lonlonjp himself, it would be the same as if someone made a tab based off of a kakbukibear video that was already tabbed by kabukibear himself. If one were to make an as accurate as possible tab based off of Kabukibear's Radical Dreamers video, then it will either a) be inferior, or b) be exactly the same. There is no point to this as the tab that was tabbed by the original arranger is already in pristine condition as it was intended to be.


Unless significant differences are made on purpose (like if one were to make a death metal version based off of Kabukibear's Radical Dreamers), then why should an inferior tab be posted. If it is not inferior and does not contain intentional differences, then it is exactly the same as the original tab, and that is not allowed on this site.


However, again, I think that encouraging one to spice up a lonlonjp arrangement with their own personal flair/style (keep in mind these should be significant enough to distinguish itself from the original) is not only perfectly fine, but would be very cool. It would not be "(lonlonjp version)", though... and it would definitely be nice to note in the txt file that it was based off of his arrangement originally :).

Archard said he wants to have as many tabs of a song as people want to make. So, there's nothing wrong with having more than one tab for this song, even if there is an official tab! Unless they're identical and presented in the same style, I don't see what the problem is. Even if all the notes are the same and Lonlon's is already on this site (is it??), the style is different and he put his own work into it.

Thulsa, would you like your tab posted anyway? I think you should be proud of it ^-^

This is true, Auri (I have heard him say it many times), though to preserve others' accomplishments, I have found it much better to offer suggestions/corrections to existing versions.

So, there's nothing wrong with having more than one tab for this song, even if there is an official tab!

Unfortunately, there is. A few months ago, during a shoutbox conversation between Archard, Vic, and I, it was agreed that Agahnim's Aerith's lonlonjp tab would not be posted due to copyright. His file is here: Agahnim's Tab

He vested a large amount of time into it as well. I know thulsa also did. They both did amazing jobs. However lonlonjp himself also did an amazing job of making a tab, which he hardly ever does because it is very hard for him (he is apparently not familiar with tablature). In a way I (and at the time of the previous conversation, archard and vic) feel it would be a discredit to lonlonjp if someone else's tab was seen more than his own. Lonlonjp's tab is not on this site, but I listed it in the mega-lonlonjp thread so that others could view it.

Although lonlonjp is not selling his tab, it IS official. While different, I find similar correlations towards this: http://www.gametabs.net/request/poet13/j-e-n-o-v#comment-26243

In no way, shape, or form am I trying to keep Thulsa's hard work from being recognized. But Agahnim's work was due to the decision of copyright. If Thulsa's tab is put onto gametabs, then please put Agahnim's on as well, Auri. I am not trying to be an asshole, but I am trying to help steer clear of copyright issues as well as letting those that put hard work into their tabs be recognized. Unfortunately, my viewpoint probably will be seen as assholish, so I apologize for that.

Hey, if it's a matter of policy, I am not going to argue with Archard unless I think it's important, and even then, it's his site, so it doesn't really matter. I was just trying to follow the decision he made before (more tabs = better) when a tab was rejected for already having similar tabs on the site.

As it happens I don't agree, but I don't feel like arguing and I wasn't here for that discussion, so it doesn't really matter. I'll just close this thread since Thulsa said to delete it and the consensus is not to post.

Also, I posted the other game/anime tabs from Lonlon's page over on the mega-thread. (You only have one from his page? Hehe.) Reply over there if you'd like.
