Artist: Tsuneo Imahori
Song: Rakuen (Paradise)
from the anime series Trigun
Tuning: DADGAD
I originally learned this song using the tab by R.J. Kaufman here:
http://www.azchords.com/t/trigun-tabs-4464/rakuen-tabs-45638.html
Eventually I discovered that the song is much easier to play and sounds
more accurate if you tuned DADGAD rather than drop D tuning. So I went
ahead and re-tabbed the song in DADGAD tuning and fixed up a few parts
that didn't sound like the original - I believe this version sounds much
closer to the original because I think it was played with this tuning.
With this version, it's also easier/more possible to play the entire song
with a pick if you want to have a clearer sound.
As you can tell, I copied the structure of the original tab and simply
modified the contents. :-)
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
h - hammer on
p - pull off
x - percussive mute, mute
