Rakuen

 Artist: Tsuneo Imahori 
 Song: Rakuen (Paradise) 
 from the anime series Trigun 
 Tuning: DADGAD 
  
 I originally learned this song using the tab by R.J. Kaufman here: 
 http://www.azchords.com/t/trigun-tabs-4464/rakuen-tabs-45638.html 
  
 Eventually I discovered that the song is much easier to play and sounds 
 more accurate if you tuned DADGAD rather than drop D tuning.  So I went 
 ahead and re-tabbed the song in DADGAD tuning and fixed up a few parts 
 that didn't sound like the original - I believe this version sounds much 
 closer to the original because I think it was played with this tuning. 
  
 With this version, it's also easier/more possible to play the entire song 
 with a pick if you want to have a clearer sound. 
  
 As you can tell, I copied the structure of the original tab and simply 
 modified the contents. :-) 
  
  
   / - slide up 
   \ - slide down 
   h - hammer on 
   p - pull off 
   x - percussive mute, mute
