Back

Vanilla Acoustic Tab

by Gackt


Gackt - Vanilla [unplugged]
Standard Tuning - Both guitars

Backing Guitar only really uses 3 chords. The backing 
parts also sound better (And more like the recording)
if you turn down the tone on your guitar, but this song
was supposidly acoustic, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Verse/other parts:
e:----------------:
b:--3------6------:
g:--5------8------:
d:--5------8------:
a:--5------8------:
e:----------------:
The chord changes are easy to hear, and when the song begins
to pick up, the chords are played multiple times, but they
don't change until the chorus.

Chorus:
e:---------------:
b:--3------8-----:
g:--5-----10-----:
d:--5-----10-----:
a:--5-----10-----:
e:---------------:
Same as verse, the chord changes are pretty easy.

There's parts in the song where individual notes from the chords are

back while picking the notes)

(I might be missing a few of the more insignificant lead guitar parts,
mostly the random single notes that are picked throughout the song.)
