A successful failure and a productive insomniac night.

I attempted to wing it on the opening of Thunder Force 4, and after an hour or 2 of trying, I couldn't even get the correct key...which kinda sucked.  However, that spawned me listening to other songs in the TF4 OST and when I got to "Stand Against Myself", the ending, I suddenly had a revelation, and 'poof' I got it.  However, I really suck at tabbing, so I'm going to basically just try and talk it through, and hopefully someone that figures it out will tab it, and the parts I couldn't get.

The rhythm is just drop D, 1, 3, 5, and a random 8 and 7during the chorus. Specifically:

Intro
5,5---1,1---3,5,5---1---3---
Main Riff
5-55555-3-1-11111-3-
5-55555-3-1-------3-------
Verse
5-5555555-3-3333333-5-5555555-3-33333333etc
PreChorus
1---------3---------1---------3--------1--------3--------1----0----(theres some riff in here as an adder)
Chorus
55555555111111113333333388887777
5555555511111111333333335-------
Repeat Main Riff 

If you listen to it, its pretty easy to get the rhythm and timing.

There are three parts to the rest of the song.  A moving line (sounds like tapping), and a standard and harmonic melody.  The standard melody is pretty easy.  Coming in on the verse. (again...pardon the bad nontabbing)

b11 11 11 e8 b11---11 10 11
b10 10 10 11 10---10 8 g10
b11 11 11 e8 b11---11 10 11
b10 10 10 11 10---10 8 g10 8---e10--- 8--- b10 8 g10
g8--- e10---8
g8--- e10---8 b10 8 g10
g8--- e10---8
chorus
e10 8 10 b11 10 8
e10 8 10 b11 10 8
e8 b11 e8 b10 8 g10 b11 e8 10---- b11 e8 10
e10 8 10 b11 10 8
e10 10 10 13 13 b10 11
e8 b11 e8 b10 8 g10 b11 e8 10---- b11 e8 10

Again..song, timing, rhythm, etc.

The harmonic melody has a main part, but the first time it plays it gets a nice solo, then after the chorus, it just repeats this until the fade out.
b11--e13--e10---------

So, to those who can actually write tabs and can probably play this better than I can, I've at least started it...I hope someone can take this and come up with the rest.

Thanks.

p.s. Sorry about the really crappy 'tabbing' but I really do suck at it.  Plus, I know you guys are better than me, so I figured if I started it, at least then I can say I've contributed...
