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 Intro
