Ummm... Yeah, just taking a break from heavy metal and playing the bass...

Just making a note here: the guitar is NOT mine. It's my younger brother's guitar, but he's given me permission to use it as long as I don't subject it to any extreme drop-tunings. That said, I probably should have gone for a Les Paul body instead of a Flying V body when I was buying my second guitar back at the start of 2006...

I made a tiny, but very obvious mistake with the second chorus and mangled the slow interlude, and the improvised guitar solo leaves a lot to desire for, but this was a pretty fun song to jam along in regards to working on my rhythm guitar playing. In the end, though, I'll still stick to playing the bass when I finally do get around to putting together a band.

Other things to take note of - I didn't record directly onto the computer (which should be pretty obvious), and Youtube has a tendency to further reduce the quality of the already-poor audio mix. Last, but not least, I usually prefer to play standing up as though I was performing live. A tip for budding guitarists and bassists: play your instrument as though you're on stage (ie, standing up).

^ Awesome job man!

yooooooo so I finally managed to get a hold of the first band score.

However, there are a few notations that are unfamiliar to me. Either they do things a little differently in Japan, or I'm just retarded.

Can anyone tell me what things like "cho.", "h.c.", "1h.u.", "D", and "h.d." mean?

I thought cho might mean chorus, but it seems to mean "bend," for some reason.

The "cho" part stands for choking, which is what the Japanese call bending. All of the abbreviations are types of choking, like choking-up, choking-down and pre-bending. That's as far as I know. To what type they are, that's up to someone else..

bloppyblue · 2010-08-23, 12:32

The only one I can seem to figure out is choke too... Maybe take a picture of where it's used and someone can help you figure it out?

Ergh, let's see how much of this I can understand.

cho. = choking = full bend (2 frets)
h.c. = half choke = half bend (1 fret)
1h.c = 1 and a half = one and a half bend (3 frets)

u. = choke up
h.u. = half choke up
1h.u. = one and a half choke up

D. = choke down
h.d. = half choke down

o jeez, this also explains the drum and D.S./x tacet etc. bits. That's pretty cool.

Bolt237 · 2010-08-23, 13:41

Thanks a bunch, everyone

Now I can stop being confused.

The choke down part is not really explained, but choking down is pre-bending by the way. I just thought I'd say so before someone thinks its bending the string downward, which would be exactly the same as choking up.

D. = whole tone pre-bend (2 frets/semitones)
h.d. = 1 semitone pre-bend (1 fret)

I'd argue it's best to be able to do both, and to do so comfortably without weird wrist angles that hurt after a while. I had a harder time getting used to sitting than standing, but I went from fiddling with keys to bass. You don't have to balance a piano on your leg, fortunately.

I attached a bass tab for U&I tab to the video I linked earlier. It's very rough but if someone wants to play the song on bass, it's a starting point.

Actually, it seems that....

choking up = pre-bend
choking down = returning the bend to its original note

Kev-kun · 2010-08-24, 00:56

so there is something called choking lol i though it was a joke.... (if you look above...)^^^^

LightMusicBand · 2010-08-24, 03:17

LightMusicBand · 2010-08-25, 04:01

ok, hey guys...

uhm could anyone care to make a guitar pro file of CaptAwesome's uploaded pictures of the scoresheet of Let's Go? because i just realized how hard it is to stare at the monitor without blinking, and how my eyes hurt as i focus on the image. it would be an ease if someone would do so..

to someone who could do that will earn my neverending gratitude!!! thanks!!!

I might make the Guitar Pro version if I have time, but dont count on it

I'll do it. I'm part ways into it anyways.

Bolt237 · 2010-08-25, 18:02

Is the second score book available anywhere?

Also, if there's demand for it, I'll help tab stuff out too.

bloppyblue · 2010-08-25, 19:26

Has anyone done/seen a (classical) guitar rendition of Ii Yume Mite Ne from the OST?

I found a piano sheet of it if anyone's willing to convert it so it's playable on the guitar
