Life is Strange Original Soundtrack - Jonathan Morali
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is only the beginning of a tab, and I would really appreciate your help.
I've managed to get started with the soundtrack to Life is Strange, but I'm only a beginner and it's past
my difficulty level really.
You can listen to the soundtrack on YouTube to help you get a feel for the song
(if the video's still up): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cGzJ_L_aK0
This tab is for the song that plays at the start menu and the pause menu – the first one in the linked video.
The main guitar part repeats the same pattern again and again, on the high e and B strings.
You change the notes you play but still play the same strings.
There's also a backing guitar part that I haven't tabbed all of yet.
Tuning: Standard tuning
Capo: 3rd fret

In every bar, this pattern of the e and B strings is played 8 times, so there are 16 notes in each bar.
When the song first fades in, this pattern varies very slightly for one bar.
It then reverts to the usual pattern of the e and B strings for the rest of the song.

For the Bminor pattern, the backing chord is different but the pattern is actually the same notes
as for the D major chord.
