Guitar tab – Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII

Been a little while since I’ve even played with the guitar recently, but I picked it up last night and this came out, the Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII.

By the way, if any of you reading out there have any recommendations for at-home programs to learn guitar – computer software, books, etc. – please let me know.

As always, this tab is free to share, but a link back would be appreciated, and be sure to take a look at my other tabs.  Enjoy!

And a guitar tab in a pear tree

Finally, I am extremely delayed in posting this tab I transcribed nearly a month ago now.  This is “Wind’s Nocturne” from Lunar: Silver Star Story.  Once again, this tab is free to share, but a link back would be appreciated, and if you like this, have a look at my other tabs.  Enjoy!

Guitar tab – Melodies of Life

I found a tab of “Melodies of Life,” the theme song from Final Fantasy IX, online, but while trying to learn how to play it, this came out instead.  I liked the tone and found it easier to play, so I thought I’d share.  Again, this tab is free to share, though a link back would be appreciated.  Hope you enjoy, and feel free to take a look at my other tabs.

Guitar tab – Main Theme of Final Fantasy IV

And I nearly forgot – I transcribed another guitar tab last night, this time one that I couldn’t already find online.  This is the Main Theme of Final Fantasy IV, also known as the overworld music.  Again, if you’re not familiar with the song, take a listen to the original.

This tab is free to share, though a link back would be appreciated.  If you want to alter or use this somehow, let me know, as I’d love to see what others do with this.  Enjoy.

Guitar tab – Celes’s theme

Well, I signed up for one Game Tabs to share a guitar tab I transcribed, but I happened to come into this hobby while the site’s submission process is down, so I’ll share it with all of you instead.  This is the first song I noodled my way through on guitar, Celes’s theme from Final Fantasy VI, and as I wasn’t satisfied with the tabs I found when I started looking for them, I decided to transcribe my version.  While I wasn’t particularly fond of the performance of her theme song in the game, I loved the tune, and I think it makes a lovely guitar solo.  I wasn’t particularly, well, particular with my timing, so for those unfamiliar with the song, feel free to grow acquainted with a MIDI or the original song.

Enjoy!  And please let me know what you think.

Because clearly, I’m not busy enough already

Jans and I went up to his mother’s place this weekend for Thanksgiving and helped her move in with her boyfriend while there.  As both of them have lived alone for quite a few years, she was feeling very generous with things she would no longer need, and various objects were being given away en masse.

I came home with a guitar.

This was, incidentally, the very guitar Jans had for years and had never learned to play, which I asked him about a little over a year ago when I was feeling inspired to get back into music, but at that point it had gone back to his mother.  Her boyfriend, who seems to have been interested in nearly every hobby known to man at some point in his life, helped me play around with my guitar as well as some of his and set me up with some instruction books and a CD.

I noodled my way through Celes’s theme from Final Fantasy VI and Aeris’s theme from Final Fantasy VII (hah, different as they are) playing by ear and started on the first bars of Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D before we came back yesterday.  I have since downloaded some more tabs, primarily of more music from FFVI, and thus far am having entirely too much fun learning to play.

On the bright side, it is a very relaxing hobby so far and I don’t need to worry about writing music taking up too much of my scant free time, as composing has always seemed to elude me, even when I was interested in it.  We’ll see how this goes.  I’m looking forward to learning to play this instrument.
