Good Job man I love your tabs

I really like what you made out of the official arrangement, but those highlighted bass notes sound a little off to me.

I also checked the official arrangement again; and it's correct there. Why did you change them? :o

I'm reading the FF collection tab and playing on top of the actual track : you're wrong both times.
You shouldn't correct people if you're not sure.

It's E and F#, no doubt on that.

I think it's easier to play

Submitted by TheDoomOfAllFires on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 07:56.

I think it's easier to play (for my fingerings) like this and I like the way it sounds.
