The song is called "Fantasy Serenade", it is on "Just a Game" by Triumph. It's one of those wild and wonderful Rik Emmett acoustic pieces that make you realize just how tough it can be to play guitar. There are probably some mistakes in this; it's been years since I lifted the song so I may have misremembered something :) If someone has a better way to play some of these parts (either alternate fingerings, or voicings that are closer to the original) I'd like to hear about them. All in all this is a fun song to play... even though after years I still can't do the party I marked 'nasty' that well. Enjoy, Dean This song is played with the 6th string tuned down to a D. You probably don't want to use a pick for this. \ / \ Indicates that the chord should be strummed from low to high strings. / Only chords marked like this should be strummed -- the rest should \ be fingerpicked. / e|-----5--\5--3--2--\3--5--7--\5-------------------------------------| B|--------/3--------/3--------/3--------3----------------------------| G|--------\2--------\2--------\2-----2--------2----------------------| D|--------/0--------/0--------/0-----------4-----4p0-----------------| A|--------\0--------\0--------\0-------------------------------------| D|--------/0--------/0--------/0-------------------------------------| -|-----5--\5--3--2--\3--5--7--\5-------------------------------------| -|--------/3--------/3--------/2-------------------------------------| -|--2-----\2--------\2--------\2-----2h4p2p0-------------------------| -|--------/0--------/0--------/2------------4p2p0--------------------| -|--------\0--------\0--------\0-----------------4p2p0---------------| -|--------/0--------/0--------/0-------------------------------------| -|--5---5--------3p2-----7--------9h10-----5--------2----------------| -|---------3----------------8-----------------3--------3-------------| -|------------2----------------7-----------------2-------------------| -|------0----------------0-----------------0-------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|--2-----------2-----3--3p2-----------------------------------------| -|-----3-----3--------5-------5--3--3--3p2-----3---------------------| -|--------4-----------4----------2----------2-----2------------------| -|--------------------2----------2-------------0-----4h7p4p0---------| -|--2----------------------------0-----------------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|-----------------2-----0----------------0-----------0-----2-----2/4| -|--3--3--------5-----------2-----3p2--------0-----------------------| -|--------4--------------------2-------2--------1--------1-----2--2/4| -|-----------4-------------------------------------------------------| -|-----2-----------------0-------------------------------------------| -|----------------------------------------2--------2-----------------| -|-----------------2-----0----------------0--------------0-----------| -|--3--3--------5-----------2-----3p2--------0-----0-----------------| -|--------4--------------------2-------2--------1-----1--------------| -|-----------4-------------------------------------------------------| -|-----2-----------------0-------------------------------------------| -|----------------------------------------2-----------------2--------| -|--5---5--------3p2-----7--------9h10-----5--------2----------------| -|---------3----------------8-----------------3--------3-------------| -|------------2----------------7-----------------2-------------------| -|------0----------------0-----------------0-------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| harmonics -|--2-----------2-----3--3p2-----------------------------------------| -|-----3-----3--------5-------5--3--3--3p2-----3-----------(7)-------| -|--------4-----------4----------2----------2--2-----------(7)-------| -|--------------------2----------2-------------0-----------(7)-------| -|--2----------------------------0----------------0------------------| -|---------------------------------------------------4--0------------| The synth violins start here.

You will have to listen to the song to get the rhythm. I use the top of my nails, and rake them across the strings. Where I place a 'u' above the tab I rake just my thumb nail up the strings (high to low). Where I place a 'd' I rake my middle and ring finger nails down the strings (low to high). I generally hit the strings really hard here; so the open low strings should resound through the entire passage even where I don't explicitly mark them. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it; but I'm self-taught and this works for me. d u d d d d u d d d d u d d -|--2--2--3--0--2-----5--5--6--5-----5--7--7--8--7-------------------| -|--3--3--3--3--3-----6--6--6--6-----6--8--8--8--8-------------------| -|--2--2--2--2--2-----5--5--5--5-----5--7--7--7--7-------------------| -|--0--0-----0--0-----0--0--0--0-----0--0--0--0--0-------------------| -|--0--0--------------0-----------------0----------------------------| -|--0-----------------0-----------------0----------------------------| At this point I pretend I'm holding a pick between my thumb and index finger, and use the top of the nail to strum the strings.
