>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Opening theme- Future >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tab By: chronowarp (Matt Houghton) (hurley503@hotmail.com) Song: Prince of Tennis - Opening Theme: Future For: animeguitartabs (http://tabs.animebw.com) Neat song. Has some decent solo bits, nothing too complex, but theres a lot of layering in the guitar. So you may have to listen for certain parts I've written out. Each section is divided into a time bracket, which is displayed above the tab, this is to help you follow along, so you can see where the parts fit in with each other. I've blocked together sections where there are two guitar parts. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 00:04-00:18

................................................ Alright, as you can see I didn't tab the lead guitar from 3:55-4:12, and thats because it begins to fade and lose definition. With my crappy stereo setup I couldn't completely make out the parts, however, all of the solo work done in this song is using the Am pentatonic scale. So with that you should be able to approximate what is happening [not that it really matters, its fading out!], you can even improv your own solos with this scale. A minor pentatonic: FORM 1 E---------------------5-8---| B-----------------5-8-------| G-------------5-7-----------| D---------5-7---------------| A-----5-7-------------------| E-5-8-----------------------| A minor pentatonic: FORM 2 E-------------------------8-10-| B--------------------8-10------| G----------------7-9-----------| D-----------7-10---------------| A------7-10--------------------| E-8-10-------------------------| Key: h= hammer on p= pull off b= bend (bend note until it sounds like the note displayed after the 'b') PM= palm mute AH= artifical (pinch) harmonic v=vibrato /=slide to x=dead note If you have any questions of suggestions feel free to e-mail me! hurley503@hotmail.com
