Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Tablature in A minor
Posted by Zeno in Guitar Tablature on November 10, 2009
Found this to be one of the best tabs for this piece, and have been working on learning it for a few weeks. Much harder on guitar than piano with some crazy finger work in places, but it sounds awesome for anyone that appreciates classical music at all.
This was transcribed by someone else who’s name I cannot find now from one of the many many tablature sites. If you are the author of this tab, please email me the link to the posted tablature from the posters email address and full credit will gladly be given. The transcriber worked hard on this…
If you have found the Mp3 for this piece that I have played on classical guitar, you will find he is tuned down around 1 step from standard, however for A minor, standard tuning is correct.
The numbers under the bars are the fingers he used (which I mainly followed but changed to my own style in places), it is a great starting guideline however.

Coldplay – The Scientist (Acoustic)
Posted by Zeno in Guitar Tablature, Videos on September 2, 2009
Awesome version of this song. Linking the first of the three tablature versions listed on youtube as it’s the most correct by far. Only three chords and yes the low E is tuned up to F.
Tablature Ver5 (Correct by all accounts): http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/coldplay/the_scientist_acoustic_ver5_crd.htm
For completeness I am including the other two versions of the tab listed on the original YouTube video location. The first one is actually the version four of the correct listed above and written by the same person, only a few frets of difference total, while the second one is incredibly different and written to play along with the original album version capo’d or not.
