Sakura Zensen (WIP), Guitar Tab

[greg13221]

First of all, this is a work in progress!!!
If you are capable of tabbing out songs yourself, please help and contribute .
I barely spend time at home, and even less time playing guitar (been only playing for a few months), but I would love to try and return some life back into this forum!


Standard Tuning

I have absolutely no understanding of this area so your work here is greatly appreciated

Here's my attempt. I've written the chords in the verse/intro as full barre chords, it doesn't really sound like Eriko plays them like that, but they are the right chords, she just seems to do a lot of playing around with different inversions/not playing the full chords and positions, which sounds great but is a nightmare to tab.

Bit of a swing rhythm, just keep the chords going


Chorus

This I’m less sure of because the guitar is pretty low in the mix. It sounds right-ish and the chords are definitely similar to these at least.

F# F#sus2/maj7 D#m E
F# F#sus2/maj7 D#m B



Then all of that again

Bridge

The part with only bass (it’s just F#)

F# B (let the F# ring out a bit, B is more rhythmic)


e|666-66-66---11-----------------666-66-6---------------------|
B|777-77-77---12--9--12-11-7---777-77-7--------------------|

A|-------------------------------------------------22-1--66-4--9|

Then the chorus again

D|44-44--4--------------------------------------------|

It’s really hard to tell what she’s actually playing here because the guitar, bass and piano are all playing similar things, moving about in harmony. This just about works, the bracketed note is kind of an example of a harmony you could add in to fill it out like the recorded version.


I might get around to doing a bass tab sometime, since the bass does a lot more interesting stuff than the guitar most of the way through the song.

Enjoy, I've been having loads of fun playing this cool song!
