FFX – Opening Theme By Nobuo Uematsu & Mashashi Hamauzu Submitted by Anthony Arcuicci (ROCK!) anthony@stangnet.com J This is my work for education and enlightenment purposes only. I don’t know much about this tune but I can say a few things. One, the song is in ¾ timing. Two, there’s a ton of arpeggiation that I cannot work out on guitar, and it can be interpreted and played many ways. A problem I’m having is finding a way to bring it all together seamlessly without making certain chord changes seem out of place by changing octaves. So with that in mind this will stay a loose interpretation with certain voicings played as single notes to get the ball rolling. I beg for someone follow up and straighten it out.

It is possible to voice this on guitar without too much difficulty, you just have to be patient, think about the notes and hand positions and take your time. I’d be delighted if someone could accurately finish this tune, this is a lot of work!! Root notes are in brackets, hold them until the next root note shows up or until you have to arpeggiate with that finger.
