I Believe In Father Christmas

[CloserToKnowing]

Anyone try and tab this yet? Cool song!

 

[CloserToKnowing]

Thought I'd take a stab at this, but I'm having a hard time copying the tab into this thread and keeping the formatting lined up. How do you guys post the tabs and keep them in line?

Not sure, but I think you should change the font here to Courier new. Since that is the regular tabbing font it should do the trick.

 

[The_Edge89]

You could use a

-tag to do it.
Just paste the desired content between them.
I believe it will stay the same if you do it this way, I can't remember having the issues you mention by placing it between code-tags when I have tried it in the past. No need to change any fonts or anything that complicated, good advice though GG.

Did you figure it out yet? I wanna play this for christmas

 

[CloserToKnowing]

Ok everyone.. be gentle on me... this is my first try at tabbing anything - - and I'm relatively new at playing guitar.

Those vets out there, please let me know my mistakes. I realize that Edge is probably doing a few more complicated things during some of the transitions.

 

[ThierryHenry]

I think the use of the Rickenbacker is pretty important in this song, Just like SYCMIOYO.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

&& he doesnt use a pick for certain parts

 

[CloserToKnowing]

Yep, you can get a good look at it on the new behind the scenes video. I'm not very good at the thumb and fingers thing..

Has anyone figured the delay time on this? I've come up with something around 360ms (with 1-2 repeats). Anyone?
