B: x
G: x
D:
A:
E:

pick scratch....

Alright, I see now. The pick scratch has no symbol to go along with it, so it's often tabbed like

----
-x\-
-x\-
----
----
----

Or something similar. In this case, you don't mute the strings, but just pick scratch.
Hope that helps!

If there's a muted note (x) with a slide (\), you do the slide, but not from a defined note. It'll sound pretty dirty.
It's kind of hard to explain, but it's really not that important.



Oh, and as for my previous post, I meant if someone could send a copy of the pdf so I can help to convert it into gp5 form (as to not inconvenience the guy with the video)
or I could just ask the guy.

It'll probably be easier listening to the instrumental version, slowed-down



I'm pretty sure official sheet music for this one isn't out yet


*********************************
EDIT: If anyone's already asked that guy for U&I tabs (I think they're usually in pdf), I'm willing to contribute to a gp5 version of the tab.

Official sheet isn't out yet. I meant I think he's playing the actual song and not improvising random parts ^^'

U&I and Gohan full: http://www.mediafire.com/?o3mrokasxruyt14
There is both a PDF and a Power Tab file in there for both songs.

Lol U&I full version became more difficult. Before I can only hear one guitar track (Yui's track to be precise) all throughout the song (except for the intro I guess)

FULL Version: Yui (left), Azusa (center and right), Rhythm (center)

Azusa really likes to do octaves and those weird chord shapes. Took me some time to get all that.

Since this song has 3 tracks and vocal, I have to prepare 4 different presets for this so that all tracks will cut through the whole song.

Anyway, I got all the tracks down plus the vocals yesterday. I just need to burn these tracks into my muscle memory until it feels like my hand is playing on its own. Gonna do a video cover if ever I have the time (or audio at least)

Well, here's a post that somewhat related. I think we all have our preferences what the easiest K-On! song may be. Now I'm asking: "What's the hardest for you?" Personally, I think Go!Go! Maniac is the hardest.

You are excused. Yea, Utauyo Miracle is also friggin' hard along with Go!Go! Maniac!

[bloppyblue]

Oh yeah, Utauyo would definitely be the hardest for guitar o_o That's some crazy stuff right there. I remember first watching it and having my brains blown across the room. Like lloonnee2 had said, Azusa's character song is pretty hard too cause of its jazziness.

Drum-wise, I think Mokujise Happy 100% (Ritsu's character song) or Cagayake sounds the hardest.

I'm not quite sure for piano and bass. Maybe Gohan?

I'm working on a gp5 tab for U&I, splitting the youtube guy's tab into two parts...

So if anyone's already tabbed some/all of it, I'd like to know, so I'm not overlapping with someone's work. yeah

Well, there's another one uploaded on Songsterr.com already and it has all the instruments. I'm not really sure about "that guy's" version. I'm kinda not diggin' it.

[bloppyblue]

Just wondering, do you guys prefer playing the songs with the official score or with fan-made scores?

My ear can't distinguish whether some notes are correct or not... And I'm wondering which tabs I wanna play or not. The official score for HotchKiss are pretty whack but I feel kind of guilty for using a fan-done tab xD

Mostly every guitar cover I've seen on youtube was done with fan done tabs, or they made it themselves. You shouldn't feel guilty.

Oh, does anybody have tabs for Falling Reinforced Concrete from the K-ON! OST? Preferably with both guitars for a duet

I haven't been able to find any tabs or sheet music for it online.
And I don't know if anyone of this forum is working on it. But this has been requested at least one time before, and I didn't see any kind of response.
I'll start working on it, but if someone here is quicker/getting it done already, feel free to beat me to it.

EDIT: ...and after another couple minutes of searching, I find a YouTube video of it, in full.

The bass cover of U&I I did was a combination of watching a couple videos of people covering it, which basically got me what key it's in and a couple of the fills. It's easier for me to guess the interval than the key and everything flows from there. Some of it was just plain improvised. I did the same thing when No Thank You! came out.

As for official vs not, even when working from an official score, there's room for changes based on what you want it to sound like. In my case, I end up doing slides and syncopation that may not exist as noted, but fits with the sound.

uhm, i don't have much time (in my account in the comp shop) so i'll keep it short.

been looking at a previous thread. may i ask.

pick scratching, is it tremolo picking, or pick sliding?

in the 2 high strings, that's probably tremolo picking, but how do you do that in two strings, do you do it separately, or strumming the two strings together or something....


2 mins left. thanks dudes.....

@BlackKnight
Hmm GO!GO!Maniac...the reason I can't do a cover for it is because of the very fast chromatic scale. I can get some of it but midway I'm losing the tempo or the note. That's the fastest solo the HTT ever had.

@LightMusicBand
Pick scratching is sliding or scratching your pick towards the length of your string. It's often used as a transition. I love to do this in my cover to give more flavor or heighten up the mood before a certain part of the song. Usually before the final chorus.

Tremolo picking is a very fast alternate picking. GO!GO!Maniac! solo uses tremolo picking on the chromatic scale. Guitar ni Kubittake's solo also uses tremolo picking (for the last part)

Pick sliding...maybe it's also the same as pick scratching since you're also sliding the pick.

If I understood it wrong, please correct me. I'm only basing my explanation through my experience XD.


...need to find the time to record even if its audio-only. Oh..I still have to learn the right solo track (Azusa). It's frustrating that you're gonna learn 2 solos for U&I XD
