Tabber's comments: I've been playing this song for over 3 years now and
I just realized that I've been playing a particular part of the song wrong
(after i've listened to the OST) Lol. I've fixed it and now the tab is
accurate to a T. This is a novice tab and I frequently use it to teach
students finger picking. Listen/practice with the OST to understand the
timing; remember you don't have to follow the CHORDS exactly. Finger
placement is based on the artists' comfort (for instance, Instead of using
all three fingers on the last chord, you may just use an index finger to bar
them all since they are on the same fret)
