[Guitar Hero Anime] Death Note - "L's Theme"

--== Song Description ==--

Ah, the venerable L. Such a great mind and a unique personality deserves nothing less than the composing talents of Hideki Taniguchi to create a leitmotif that turns the clockwork sounds of a genius mind at work into a melody. This unique theme appears several times throughout the course of the series run and does a great job of creating the image of L hard at work figuring out a case.

--== Chart Development ==--

As expected of a song that comes from the original score rather than the soundtrack, there were absolutely no tabs available anywhere on the net. The entire song was done by ear, and it was relatively easy due to the great amount of repetition in the notes. Most of my work was done after I had charted a few measures; the rest was just copy-pasting the notes several times and making sure the BPM remained steady.

I tried to keep most of the single quarter-note sequences within four frets, since there were sections that fell a couple notes. All in all, there was very little variety in the song.

--== About Development ==--

This chart was the first in a series of songs that I charted from Death Note's original score. It was relatively easy to make, but Christ, what the hell is with the timescale here?! Each measure alternates between 6.5 and 7 beats long (try counting the beats with your fingers before the measure resets), and for a while I was completely clueless on how to fit it into the anchors. Eventually I settled on making it so that all the quarter-note segments would just have a 2/4 scale, even though that is totally wrong, but whatever, it technically allowed me enough room to set an anchor each time it flipped to the power chords.

Editing the music to fit my version 1 release standard also took some time, since there were parts where the guitars would play from different channels in the stereo output. The power chords would dominate the center channel, and the single quarter-note sequences were off to the left and right sides. I constantly had to make each track swap channels in order to isolate where the guitars were coming from. The effect it has on the music is noticable if you enter practice mode with the song.

@ludmila96 Err, good luck with that. XD

[weaver2334]

you know u could have just used guitar hero world tour right?

[yamamoto114]

@weaver2334 You know you have to recompose the song on World Tour using their sound libraries, right? That not only means more work, but it also means the song will inevitably sound like a shitty ringtone. With Guitar Hero mods, I'm using the ACTUAL song from the ACTUAL soundtrack, not a low quality MIDI cover that I have to construct myself.

[yamamoto114]

@MrTinkotin They DID sell the soundtrack separately. That's how I obtained the song.
