Tab baru!!

Yay, tab baru dah siap. This is a complete tab, from start to finish. The song sounds quite simple actually, but as usual, I’m not too happy with what I found online, so buat sendiri. I’ll discuss more about this later. Actually tab lagu ni aku buat first time on July 22 2003. Aku buat intro and a few bars more, pastu stop. Malas punya pasal. :D

Now it’s time to actually try playing it and prepare to come out with a video for it. Ramai dah orang buat video main lagu ni. Well I’m not trying to compete with anybody. My purpose is simply to promote the tab. Bile main lagu ni or any song for that matter, there’s no need to copy the original note by note. But bile buat tab, I strive to make it so close to the original as I possibly can. When you use the tab, you can build your own touch from it. So in my video, I pretty much have to try to copy the original the best I can, so that people would immediately know that I’m playing based on (what I hope to be) the best tab available for the song.

Hmm, aku try gak nyanyi. :P But no way, it’s beyond my vocal range, even kalo transpose pon. In fact aku tak suke transpose, since aku nak buat kasi macam original. So I’ll  have to figure something out.

The question now is, should I practice until I can play the whole thing perfectly in one shot, or shoot it section by section?

Shooting the whole thing in one shot of course takes more practice, since aku ni cerewet sket, and I’m not that good to begin with (I have much much better ears than hands). But kalo nak tunjuk skil, yeah, do it in one uninterrupted shot. But it’s not my intention. I am a transcriber first, a guitarist second. And since aku ade satu jek camera, with no cameraman, it would be quite boring since the frame will be static for minutes. So aku rasa aku akan record in parts, by section, and switch the camera angle too.

And since takde vocal, aku akan cut a few repeated sections, like, instead of 4 verses, cut it to two. From two bridges, cut into one. I donno yet, we’ll see. Give me a couple of weeks.
