Akatsuki solo(s) tabbed by imspazzen Ok so I accidentally tabbed this because I didn't realize there was already a tab for it, but there are some mistakes in the other one and mine is overall pretty different so... here. If you want the GP file: http://www.4shared.com/file/c721wftlce/Akatsuki_solos.html You'll probably wanna use it because there's some ridiculous notation going on here. All notation/timing symbols are explained at the bottom. Hopefully this isn't confusing. But it probably is. Note: Some bars in the harmony solo don't match up perfectly. EDIT: I've made a few more text tabs and upon revising this I realized a lot of the notation was unnecessary. I took out the durations and ties as well as simplifying some techniques so hopefully it looks less cluttered. Tuning (low to high): C# F# B E G# C# Solo 1

Considering I already that I already had it in GP, this felt like a huge waste of an hour. But I hope at least someone has fun playing the solo to this very X-Japan-ish song. Tablature Legend ---------------- x - dead note [] - pinch harmonic h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend r - release bend T - tap / - slide into from below or out of upwards \ - slide into from above or out of downwards ~ - vibrato
