Its never easy to have a love for playing the opening and ending songs of animes, especially when you can't read moon runes and have no idea where to find tabbed songs. Last night lying in bed and tabbing out Polaris no Namida (the end theme for Telepathy Shoujo Ran), it struck me that maybe other people are doing the same thing. Abit of thinking further led me to consider these:

1. If there's anyone out there tabbing songs, could we share these?

2. Does anyone want to get together and play some anime songs?

Also! Does anyone have an OK tab for Akatsuki no Kuruma? I still can't find one and Gundam Seed was what, 5 years ago?

Oh, and don't suggest asking in the musicians corner of Lyn. This is strictly otaku business mmkay?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right, here's a list of interested people with the instruments they play. We don't have to make this a permanent band, just maybe meet up and jam, and members can float in and out. If we get good enough we can play at some conventions maybe? Dreams heh. Hey, if you CAN'T play any instruments but wanna link up and learn or something, by all means! Or you can be like Mikuru chan and play the tambourine.

Don't tell me you can't play the tambourine k?

1. dishwasher (guitars, can sing abit)
2. Myclamyra (bass)
3. Stone (drums)
4. kusakabemisao (guitars and oops sorry I missed you)

For now it seems like we'll be doing Ash Like Snow, and its sung by a girl, so here's the deal. Don't make us do an abomination version of the song! If you can sing like a girl (hopefully you're a girl lar) then come join us!

Oh, try asking yafex around here. He's good at these kind of stuff...

Saiko, I tot you are really good in guitar and keyboard? Last time playing Air meh.

Oh, I forgot about you also. This asking this legend guy, he sure know where to leech his stuff. He's my piano score supplier.

1. If anyone got the Midi, sure there's a tab converter for it. I have gundam songs but none are gundam seed's.

2. Yes, I do want to play animu song but the song was pretty much in need of a good keyboardist and drummer instead of guitar. I only jam rock kapak and various alternative until now, no geng to jam animu.

While I've never played anime songs in a band before, I'd like to give it a try. Bass player.

Also, I should be able to pick up tabs and write midi too. Refer to my adventures with Hatsune Miku if you want examples.

apehal plak? aku mane gheti ma mnatang2 nih. this is your department la saiko. if you want kompang player than i can do

You're my ace drummer, don't be so humble la .

Supporting this thread with related video

Ah, I have the tab. I like this song bcoz of the Nagato's factor...

I think those are about the only tabs I didn't have a problem finding. Long live the Haruhi.

Now I'm trying to learn Bump of Chicken's Karma from some tabs I found on Ultimate Guitar. And after posting this I went and searched again for 暁の車's tabs, and 2 hours of googling still have nothing.

p.s. I can't read score, I can only read guitar tabs since I'm mostly self taught. This: http://www.hamienet.com/scoreb24356-3.html just makes me sad.

I can translate it, but maybe took about 2 days since I'm quite busy with my exams.

Edited : Finished translating dy

can u tab this out



This post has been edited by lightonokira: Dec 25 2008, 04:25 AM

I have the tab for that song. But he added the shredding + solo + tapping. The shredding part I can tab out, some of the solo part, the tapping part I need to try on my guitar first.

Great!!

i like it in GP5 format

sankyuu!!

btw how did u learn to tab musics?

See his finger? I dunno how to write in gp5, if normal tab then I can. Dunno how to use the note tempo etc. If u want the song without the ending solo part then I already have the gp5.

omg, multiple thanks and may I say, the cheapest but best Christmas present ever!

sigh, if only i learnt piano.

learning organ doesnt have much benefit compared to piano sob.

Organ pon same thing mcm piano. Aku xtau ape beza. . I don't have any cerficate for any instrument, just being able to play them is enough. Bro, daftar kelas piano sesame jom.

You can find alot of tabs and scores on the internet whurt.
Like here:

http://www.animechords.com/

aku belajar organ level 2 je.

piano sheets are more extravagant than organs, more playing than organ in a 4/4 beat count. 2/4 beat count oso the same.

in other words, piano > organ

unless u'll be playing the organ in the church lah.

Thanks, at last, a website that cite the animu name.

Owh, aku xde lvl pon . See the score then play. Xtau level ape.

u're gifted in music man, unlike me.

gitar ade je kat rumah, main sampai skarang tak reti2.

duk asyik main eroge je.

j/k j/k

bukan nak bagi eroge kat aku pun sobsob.

aku tak leech apape pon dari kau hari tu

Lol, dvd dlm kete aku tu 100% eroge x mau amik. Penat aku bwk.

manela aku tau sob.

Main drum amacam cloud? Everyone needs a drummer nowadays. Ko main gerenti dpt band punye.

boleh. kau ajar aku

Should be a list of people with instrument they play.

Sigh, in an attempt to transfer the akatsuki no kuruma tab to guitar pro 5, i found out I could just inport midi files into it. What have I been doing the last 5 years?

For the lol, I already said in the second post. Midi are my only resources for animu tab. But I already have some of tab in guitarpro download packs. What instrument can u play? Flash me ur gadget.

Hehe... whatever you guys do
1. Pick a captain - by default that must be dishwasher
2. List down the instrument players - don't forget vocals!
3. Dishwasher to recommend 2-3 songs for the players to practice. Give it at least 1 week for the players to absorb
4. Agree on a jam studio. Damansara? Ampang? Bangi?
5. GO!

There's no drummer on my side. Where's yafex when we need him.

No drummer on my side as well. I play guitars, and have another guitarist friend who would probably join. Same old story really, way too many guitarist and no drummers.

hmm guys, may i know where i can learn about drums?

since i had no talent in guitars and not so proficient in keyboard/organ/piano, maybe being a drummer suits me.

That's I want to hear. My dad's a good drummer, but only oldies la. He's teaching me now, if he throws another lesson/session I'll tell you.

O.o this is interesting. well, u can teach me the basics too.

That's tough really... I do have a senior that can play drums... problem is, he's... well.... not so good. Plus he's not into anime stuff... just that we've not played in a long while due to the absense of our lead guitarist.

As for training to become one, nothing beats having your own drum set and practise over and over... you can call in a drummer for initial instructions, but afterwards, skill is based on creativity and practise.

Cloud, if you're staying at where your avatar says you are, then I'm sure you can gain access to Prosound near the bangi tol plaza or (can't remember to jamming studio) near Warta.

oh. near warta eh. this is interesting. i shall go scout there next time

Owh, if anyone wants to practice with me miharja must be accessible, since the studio is owned by my dad's buddies. Drum lesson I think around sri petaling will do, it's cheaper there.

dekat ngan opis aku. sib baik aku tak keje sampai malam. kalau tak, memang leh dengar dung dang dung dang.

X soundproof ke studio tuh? Nanti dngr cloud pulak dung dang dung dang.

bukan la tak sound proof tapi leh dengar sayup2 kalau ada orang tengah jamming.

drums huh?

my cousin can play drums, damn hard to synchronize my hands and feet.

guess i have no talents in drums, i'll stick with guitars

still learning God Knows - Hirano Aya

the ending is too hard for me

One song I'm very interested in playing would be Ash Like Snow. Any takers? Need a female vocalist tho.

This section of the forums has a major lack of the female species IMO.

just sing the Dango Daikozoku song!

A good choice to start simple. I'm going to find the full version. So for bass, I'll decompose it, play it, and post it here.

BTW, this web page has the base melody (violin) of the song. You need to navigate through as that's what the web owner wants
http://www.freewebs.com/infinityex/

As for the voice though, I think the pitch is low enough that a guy could probably be able to sing it.

Tabbing by ear, the guitar parts for Ash Like Snow are fairly straight forward. I'll try to make a better tab, since what I have is so simple its abit embarrassing.

A guy singing ash like snow. Hmm. Should work, tho female vocalist are welcomed to join us!

There's actually already a GP5 tab for Ash Like Snow. So the song really is that simple... Here I was thinking I left out details.

Sadly i don't know how to play any musical instrument.

But i play this:

Should be no prob hitting the hi hat and cymbal if you're good at it. You just give me a good idea. Thanks.

hey eccentrical u wanna see my rig izzit?

its really crappy la.. plan to upgrade but cant find any buyers for it

i bet ur rig is hell lot b etter than mine

Don't mind me, all my rig are over 20 years old dy. Pickup tone gone, chipped body and stuff, the amp also just recently broken.

Edited : Try selling at Jamtank.net. There are a lot buyer there.

No drummer?..

i learn piano, electric guitar, violin

I somewhat( abit) like anime cause my sis watch alot.
Idont watch much, i think i watch elemental gelade, naruto, FMA, and random anime that my sis watch.

I got good sense of ear(actually i hv perfect pitch) and i can write out any pieces i hear after a few times =D!

Wish to join u guys, but im in kedahT_T

Not on my side. Anyone?

GP5 tabs of Ash Like Snow found on Ultimate Guitar sucks. Tone deaf people should never submit tabs.

any band wanna do recording ??

If Karma, I can do the drum, but still need two week for practice since I'm a beginner in drum. But ash like snow, you really need an intermediate drummer, since I'm still sucking the hi-hat part. Then again, I'm in exam mode until end of January.

Wee..I love animes and I love their songs ... I play the bass ...

A lot of people comes from different states ... Just do something like recording + syncing ... Just like in youtube . We can do that as well but we need a good coordinator and such . You can think about it .

=D

That is an option as well. Biggest bummer is the lack of a drummer. But anyway on my end I'm tabbing out Ash Like Snow, learning Karma from the GP5 tab, and also learning Akatsuki no Kuruma for fun.

I can play Ash Like Snow already ... For bass ... Tabbed by myself @.@

eccentrical thank you man!! u r da man!!!

make a more accurate version... really love the tab

though the solo part was quite off..

haha the rest was.. SUGGOI!

this part is.. i think can improve this part abit

i wish i know how to mess around with GP5

although im no musician, i support this
and unlike mikuru-chan~* i cant play the tambourine XD

seriously, im having problems even spelling this instrument

Guitarist and pianist here.
Been playing the guitar for 2 and a half years, less than a year for the piano.
I mostly play anime songs, and some from video games.
Check out my YouTube account

As for joining you guys, I bet that I'm the only one from Kuching here..

if it helps, (i doubt) i played the piano like almost 10 years ish ago, until grade 1-2 ish. noob stuff, but yeah lol.

Female bass player not wanted ? haha

During my study at university, me and my friends used to jam 1 or 2 anime&game songs before we warmed up.Some of the song we used to play:

-King of Fighter's Kyo Stage
-A letter from...(Guilty Gear ending song for SOL).
-Holy Lonely Night (Macross 7)
-Black Hole Message(Kamen Rider Black)

And below are the songs I always played with my gitar kapok during boring time.

-Chrono Cross's ending song( coz that song only using one guitar only)
-My soul for you acoustic version(Macross 7)
-Small of Two Pieces(Xenogears ending)
-God Knows(Suzumiya Haruhi)
-Lost My Music(Suzumiya Haruhi)

But main bodoh-bodoh jer asal jadik bunyi kene ngan lagu.Not very serious tapi jadi la skit2.Oh, I play the bass but sometimes play the rythm(Lead guitar aku hancur drummer lagi la tak jadik).I suggest if you want to form a band better find a drummer first.I remember my band taicho said: "Semua org boleh main gitar tapi tak semua org boleh main drum"

Too bad I live in Taiping cannot join.Love to join because i dream to have a band that play 100% anime song but work here huhu.

I'm busy with my exams until end of january . That part I dunno how to use the tempo, and by the time i realize it, i mistab(?) the e string part.

Cool youtube vids, even I still didn't post nything on youtube. Lol at the battle for the soul, final boss battle song. I think you should tune your amp abit, the treble is too high.

Woah, macross 7 and guilty gear, nice choice. I played most guilty gear song but yep, no drummer and a good keyboardist.

We can do it like this ! Ha

Damn genius

Eh bro. Do you have any website or ebooks or anything that I can learn to play violin? Thinking of learning it slowly. I am totally forgot to play violin at all. Maybe next time when we go together playing our intruments, at least I can show off a lil bit.

I am interested to join but sorry I am no drummer ^^:
I prefer playing rythm guitar ( power chords lol)
Can read tabs and I live in Bangsar now so I think I can join for a session

Let's hope this band can get a drummer soon and we can start moving things forward

Here's me practising god knows solo...actually i only learned until this part then malas to study further

It's been a while I didn't picked up my guitar so maybe I should start to get back in shape again ...

This post has been edited by kusakabemisao: Jan 2 2009, 05:47 PM

Sori bro, aku pon xtau cemane nak main violin. Nanti kalo jumpe aku bgtau. Aku pon tgh cari, nak lurk kat musicians jap. . Kalo score aku ade bnyk.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED A NEW RIG!!!

Your yamaha is OK wut? Compared to Aria, SX and my Vantage, should be enough for me ready.

really? maybe my amp is shitty...

should i change amp? im using Microcube

Roland microcube is still a good rig. What kind of effect do u use? If want to borrow I had quite a few I rarely use.

I'm still thinking of a bass to buy ... Perhaps a Fender Jazz Bass or Vintage ....


About the video ... They uses Adobe Premier to link all the videos together ... We gotta record our self for sure ... And we gotta send to the one with the best Adobe Premier skill to make it happen . Its pretty simple like drag and drop and resize .


Kusaka ... Mind telling me what do you use to record your playing ? The sound and the video quality is smooth ... If everyone records like you ... Sure can make it an online band =P



I'm thinking about this bass .




Online Band


Song that I'm currently playing ...


Playing with Saxophone as the vocal !

Just so you know, female bassist... are HOT.

I don't dare update the first thread with names because I'm not sure if people actually want to participate. Give me a 'put my name down' and I'll do it.

Still bummer on the drummer. Drum machine?

The youtube thing is way cool. Still, if most of us are centered around KL, might as well meet up right? If the female bassist wants to show up wearing a Yuki cosplay, I strongly insist that we meet up. Yes, yes we must.

In the mean time, what song do you guys want to try? My suggestions are Karma and Ash Like Snow, start slow like whathisname said, but I'm open to suggestions! That Joint video made me learn the song in an hour or two, thats how cool it was!

If you are doing the video thing ... I will surely join ... Add me up in the list ... I'm a bassist by the way . Getting my bass soon ... Now still training on my friend's bass . I can play AshLikeSnow ... But is anyone willing to do the VIDEO combining and editting ? I never practice on Joint ... So what do you think ? I can't meet up because I'm going oversea soon ... The most I can do is record and then send to you guys then you guys mix it up just like the Joint video !


I seriously wanna do this =)



P/S = I can see the international coding tabs only ... And if we play as band ... I will need you guys to give me the song so that I can figure out the keys myself . Tabs - I'm referring to www.911tabs.com

Here are some songs that we can play too ! ( Mostly Guitar )








This post has been edited by Thalmes: Jan 3 2009, 09:24 PM

I think I can dedicate some time if the practise session is on the weekend coz I am working dayjob
so please put my name there
Can you also share Ash Like Snow guitar tabs?
I also like the song very much but not talented enough to copy chords by listening.

1. PROGRESS 1: Drum beat template completed using Hydrogen (Freeware Drum Beat Software). Guys, PM me your email address so that I can send
a) the mp3 export of the Hydrogen software
b) the Hydrogen file itself

The drum beat is not perfect, but should give us a good reference when practicing. The beat is about 160 beats per second.


2. I've managed to convince my ex-drummer (his name is Stone) to play with us - lives in south Cheras area. I'm from Kajang, close to Bangi.

3. I'm willing to forgo my bass playing status if there's someone better (I'd prefer playing though) - which leaves me with 1 position - the singer!

This post has been edited by Myclamyra: Jan 4 2009, 06:07 PM

Well ... You MIGHT BE better than me ... =D ... I do play the bass as well ... We can share the role if you want . But must be sharing la ... Hahaha ... I have played the bass for only 2 months . Still currently training my fingers ... Can use all of my fingers to play already though .

Canon Rock with Bass Solo




Joint - Improvised -

My 2nd attempt at playing God Knows.
I only know how to play the solo, and the voice part.
Still lots of mistakes though...



Watch in HQ

Oh yea, check this video out.



EPIC Canon Rock by 6 guitarists including JerryC himself, and 5 other Japanese guitarists

It's available in HD, MUST watch in HD

And if you guys are planning to make an online band or something, count me in!
Depending on the song, that is..
I still noob at guitar..

Haha... i think my encoding sux coz the sound not sync with hand movement

Anyway I was using the webcam software provided by DELL for my 22 inch wide monitor.
I am using BOSS ME-50 multieffect direct to PC's line in input.
Audio source is from iPod into BOSS ME-50 line in...

I plan to rec new stuff after my house finish renovation...
now all my stuff in living room haha

maybe ill take pic of my rig and post it here also..

Hmm, sorry for the lack of replies. Between work, building a VF-25f, playing a visual novel and just plain being sick, I've been neglecting this thread.

ok. First things first. A drummer! That's really good news. Now we can really get things moving. Now lets talk about what we want to play. I think Ash Like Snow is a given. Do we want another song as well? Also, location and time? Where would we go and when would we go? I'm pretty sure weekends are the best, tho I can make some weeknights. I myself am from Kelana Jaya, but I can generally travel if needed.

The other thing is, who else is participating? We'll really need to set a list of participants at this stage, so do reply to this thread or PM me okies? I'm not sure if we can fit everyone in, hmm, how bout taking turns playing the songs and hanging out and talking shop (read: gears and technique)?

Anyway I'll try to keep track of this thread as much as possible. Lets get the show on the road.

P.S. I still need to edit the Ash Like Snow tabs I found on ultimate guitar. The one found there isn't very good (I think lar) so when I'm done with it I'll upload it somewhere.

What about this ? 75 Japanese people both boys and girls playing canon Rock ...



dishwasher...I can only make it as an online band cause I don't like in KL .=(

This post has been edited by Thalmes: Jan 7 2009, 02:43 PM

as for me.. i dont go to kl.. sometimes yes but not a daily routine for me..
we can make an online band.. just upload it here..

1 thing for sure is a drummer is needed..

I don't think Stone and I are ready yet for a session. I myself have only completed the drum beat and not tabbed out the bass yet (yeah slowpoke here). I'd say give it a week or two from now.

Nevertheless, this should not prevent us from planning the place to play. Both of us are familiar with many studios in Bangi and Akarkarya at SS21, Damansara. If we want to choose a mid point, then I'd recommend finding a jam studio somewhere in USJ . Personally, I wouldn't want to play at Akarkarya (even though the place is high tech, the studio is small and acoustics is not even close to the ones in Bangi, and it's more expensive). Just that at least for the 1st go, it's probably a place that is easily accessible by all members.

BTW, anyone interested in getting a copy of the drum beat? PM me yer email.

For what song ?
