(Nintendo Entertainment System) "Castle theme" Originally composed by: Koji Kondo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Deezer (deezer@usa.net) For http://www.kontek.net/vgjam/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symbols used: h = hammer-on p = pull-off Standard Tuning - (low to high) EADGBe Theoretically, you could hammer-on and pull-off with your fretting hand (makes a great practice exercise -- start slow!), but I prefer to tap the fretboard with the pick instead. (I can play it faster that way, and it sort of gives it that extra-spooky sound [at least on my setup].)
