| Ashane's Final Fantasy Prelude for guitar |
| The Final Fantasy Prelude starts out in the key of C Major. For purposes
of arranging it on guitar, it is necessary to exclude the higher two octaves
of the arpeggios played in the song, so instead we will only use two octaves
for the arpeggios. We start off with a major arpeggio on the root, C,
played like this (note that the arpeggios are played as R, 2, 3, 5): -----------------8--------------- -------------5-8---8-5----------- ---------5-7-----------7-5------- -------5-------------------5----- ---5-7-----------------------7-5- -8------------------------------- To stay true to the original, you should repeat all of these twice. The next arpeggio is A minor, noting which is also the relative minor of C major. -----------------5--------------- -------------1-5---5-1----------- ---------2-4-----------4-2------- -------2-------------------2----- ---2-3-----------------------3-2- -5------------------------------- Now repeat the C major arpeggio twice again, and the A minor arpeggio twice again, and then we move on to the next one in F major, but note that the arpeggio starts on the 3rd, A. -------------1-3-5-3-1----------- -----------1-----------1--------- -------0-2---------------2-0----- -----3-----------------------3--- -0-3---------------------------3- --------------------------------- Repeat that twice and then play the G major arpeggio, also starting on the 3rd, B. -------------3-5-7-5-3----------- -----------3-----------3--------- -------2-4---------------4-2----- -----5-----------------------5--- -2-5---------------------------5- --------------------------------- Repeat that twice. The key now changes to C minor, and the next arpeggio is G#maj7. ---------------3-4-3------------- -------------4-------4----------- -----------5-----------5--------- -------5-6---------------6-5----- ---3-6-----------------------6-3- -4------------------------------- Repeat that twice and then play the final arpeggio, A#maj7, twice. ---------------5-6-5------------- -------------6-------6----------- -----------7-----------7--------- -------7-8---------------8-7----- ---5-8-----------------------8-5- -6------------------------------- Then the song loops. If you want, you can play these all starting at an octave higher on the 20th fret, but it's all a matter of preference. There you have it. Have fun. Here's a recap on the chord changes: Cmaj, Amin, Cmaj, Amin, Fmaj, Gmaj, G#maj7, A#maj7 by Dan Liss 'Ashane' |
