Repeat from the start.
This track is weird. I mean, it's an awesome track, one of the best boss themes
I've ever heard and reflects its character well, but just weird in how it's
structured. It changes time signature three times before the repeat. (And you
can imagine how much of a pain in the butt it was to tab into TuxGuitar first.
It goes over four files for Christ's sake!)
For this transcription in particular, I highly recommend having multiple guitars
playing. It just doesn't sound right with one guitar playing one part. Also, some
parts can get pretty fast, so practice is definitely required.
Legend:
W - whole note
H - half note
Q - quarter note
E - eighth note
S - sixteenth note
\ - slide
"...one of the best boss
"...one of the best boss themes I've ever heard...."
XD I was just looking over this tab again and I couldn't help but laugh, because nowadays I consider this my absolute favourite piece of music of all time. A weird choice, I know, but I like being weird! :D
