Description: Tab/Chords


sevnrock - May 16, 2006 06:53 AM (GMT)
Hey guys, I just wanna tell you a little something about how I got here. First of all, I'm an amateur songwriter and an avid fan of acoustic style music. I absolutely love YUI's songs because of the heavy acoustic influence and her ability to incorporate frequent key changes inside her songs without it sounding awkward. This is my first TAB ever! Because of the lack of YUI tabs I just had to jump in on the scene (also cause of summer break :P). Anyways, I'm more than sure this tab's 100% but please, please feel free to correct me if it isn't. Hope you enjoy!

oh yeah, i want to ask, what is h and ~? is it hammering?? how to do that?? i m an amateur u know :P

sevnrock - May 16, 2006 08:22 AM (GMT)
Oh woops should've included that in the tab :]. Yeah the "h" stands for hammer-ons or hit-ons. You basically play the first note 6, say with your index finger, then immediately hit on 8 with your ring finger without picking that same string again. "p" pulloffs, are the exact same thing except you hold both 6 and 8, play the eight then let go immediately holding the 6 to resonate. hope thats clear enough -0- its basically a less choppy way of playing two notes really fast. oh, and the "~" just means to let it ring.

dragoonicmaxv2 - May 16, 2006 08:36 AM (GMT)

Thank for sharing the YUI Guitar Tabs now I Can practice on the guitar and have fun :thumbsup:

sevnrock - May 28, 2006 07:21 AM (GMT)
I tabbed it out by sound but when I watched the live video, I saw that she plays in G. I guess to play it exactly like the album you can tune the guitar half step down (Eb, Ab, Db, etc) and play it in G - which would sound exactly like Capo 1 in F.

swiro-lotek - June 16, 2006 07:22 PM (GMT)
Can someone tell me how should I strum the guitar for this song? Pretty, pretty please...

Elena - June 17, 2006 02:16 PM (GMT)
