it sounds wonderful, really nice job!

Thanks, wish I could've made

Thanks, wish I could've made it a bit easier to play though but this is the best I can manage with my current abilities.

This is amazing! I'm so

This is amazing! I'm so excited to play this

This is such a cool sounding

This is such a cool sounding song, I figured I'd show you the way I found works better for me when playing. Please don't take this as any kind of criticism, all I did was move some stuff up a position cause it's easier for me.

Well, it is easier I agree :P

Well, it is easier I agree :P I was glad I made it at least somehow playable after drop-d tuning and capo on 2, but yours looks better.

Only thing that came to my mind when arranging was something like this, with the middle finger barring the d and a string. But didn't really want to ask that of anyone haha.

edit: send hsl a message if he can update the fingerings a bit, should be better then.

Ooh, I like the way this

Submitted by Choogly on Sun, 05/05/2013 - 02:47.

Ooh, I like the way this sounds best. It should definitely ring out to emphasize the dissonance and aching despair in this motif.
