---------------------------------------------------------------------- Guitar tablature of: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - "Marble Gallery" Original Composition and Arrangement by ??? (Konami music team) Unofficial Tablature done on June 14th, 1999 by Chen Liang (cliang78@yahoo.com | http://cliang.cjb.net) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TAB NOTATION used in this piece: ~ = vibrato pm= palm mute h = hammer on p = pull off ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Playing Suggestions * There is no correct way to set your guitar, acoustic or electric, since the original piece isn't really for guitars. So just listen to the piece and use your own choice. You can probably make it sound nice with some weird flanger stuff in some spots. It's supposed to be kind of a creepy tune anyway. * The different guitar parts are lined up accordingly. * Suggestions listed later as needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO - Guitar III (Rhythm/Harmony, Organ?)

---------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES * This tablature was made by a beginner guitarist (me), so don't expect too much out of it. * Feedback is highly appreciated. If you think a particular passage could be tabbed better or maybe I have a wrong note, or you have interesting amp settings or anything else, then let me know. (Amp settings especially, since my amp sucks and I don't have any pedals and stuff) * As with all tablature, view this with a FIXED-WIDTH font. * This piece is actually for organ, harpsichord, and synthesizer. Or probably just synthesizers, but it sounds nice with guitars, which is why I did it. * I interpreted this tab from audio data taken directly off of the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Playstation game CD and converted into WAV form. * If you've played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, then you'll recognize this piece from the Marble Gallery as the title suggests. * I'm curious about the name of the author of this piece and the other Castlevania SOTN music as well. E-mail me if you know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REVISIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- June 14th, 1999 - wrote tab Sep. 8th, 1999 - major editing (too many words) Dec. 11th, 1999 - minor editing ====================================================================== LEGAL STUFF 1) This tablature is only my interpretation and may or may not be an accurate translation of the original, as is the case with most tabs on the Internet and elsewhere. 2) This document is to be used for academic/scholarly purposes only and may be freely distributed. 3) Feel free to edit or add to this tab, just make sure you indicate any edits or adds.
