Going Home

Yay it's Chinese New Year week! Really feeling in a good mood since the money's coming in, so I've decided to post up the next song in advance! This one's called Going Home by Shiro Sagisu. Who? Well, maybe it'd be more familiar if I said "Bleach soundtrack!"

Well, got to hear this song from the Bleach anime (my favourite anime!), and it's usually played during the sad parts and stuff. It was most recently played in the recent episode when Ichigo apologies to Inoue for not being able to be of much help against the Espada. So here it is for your listening pleasure. Tabs are below. Enjoy!

Also, here's an instructional video on how to play the song. Explains how you play some chords and what to look out for. Hope it helps.

    Hi, I could have made some mistakes while writing the tabs (Happens when I deal with too many numbers).
    I'll try to look through it, but would be faster if you could indicate to me where the mistakes were. Thanks

    sry it takes me so long to reply, it's kinda hard for me to point anything out because im a total dummy when it comes to music.
    It's at the C minor, which u hit the chord and then every string of that chord, the last string is different. not sure this would point it out. I love ur works btw.

    fantastic. I was looking around for tabs for this and couldn't find any anywhere. You are a lifesaver.

    To give you a time-frame of when I started looking, I was on episode 34 and now I'm caught up to episode 138.

    Though, that's not week to week episodes >,>

    Heh. Just started lessons 1 month ago. I've actually been playing for about 3 or 4 months though. This song is really awesome. It's all coming out nicely until the barre chord with the first finger on the third fret. The third string just wont sound for me. It might be because my guitar sucks, or maybe my fingers are weak/small. I'm only 13. >,> Hope they grow a lot more.

    i feel pretty bad because if you guys are the ones who really tabbed "going home", then somebody is "owning" your tabs. why do i say so? the tabs you posted here is THE SAME tabs that i found in Ultimate-Guitar(dot)com. the link is here: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/b/bleach/going_home_tab.htm

    good thing is, i reported to the Ultimate-Guitar admin that tab.

    Hey Graham,

    Nice tab, and you're right that first chord is a bit of a stretch. I've only just recently picked my classical guitar up and I fell in love with this piece (and Bleach too!) and picked it up just especially for this song. Ive been doing guitar for years. I can play Leyenda - Issac Ibanez, but i cant play this song easily for some reason. Alot of 'dud' notes. I guess I have to practice more and get that pinkie stretching again. :) Lovely work and look forward to your further blogs and videos. Love from Perth, Western Australia - Jarrad

    Hey, actually the part you pointed out is just playing a simple barre chord on the 5th fret, from 5th string onwards (Dm), and progressing downwards in the same shape to 4th (C#m) and 3rd fret (Cm). The last chords is played by using your index to barre 7th fret 4th to 2nd string, middle on 8th fret 5th string, and ring on 8th fret 3rd string.

    Man =/ the tabs are great and the vid is great but I don't know how to play with my fingers like that! T^T I've gotten through almost half the song strumming regularly and it sounds decent...but..yeah its not right DX can you tell me the name of the style you are playing so I can go read up on it and practice it before coming back to this?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Graham ChooApril 16, 2009 at 12:06 AM

    Hey, it's just normal plucking of the guitar strings, no magic to it. How it differs from strumming is that instead of playing all the strings at once (which strumming does), you play only certain strings at a time.
    The tabs will help a lot because it tells you which strings to pluck at a time :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Graham ChooApril 16, 2009 at 12:12 AM

    Hey daudi, I'm using a standard guitar which is played by using the left hand to form the chords, and the right hand to strum. Left-hander guitars are the other way around :)
    Also, thanks! It took me about 3-4 hours straight of practicing the song before I posted the video :)

    It seems like to be there was extra E note played after the Am chord.

    Hi first of all thanks for the post and instruction video. Definitely couldn't have learned it without.

    I don't know if I am listening to a different version... but I noticed a few discrepancies from the OST I found on YouTube. So I figure I'll point them out, see what you think.

    Anyways, here they are:
    2nd line - it's just 5,6,5,6, on e without the 3's on b. Right after that, the 6\0 and 6\4 doesn't really make sense... from what I can hear they should just not be there.
    3rd line - the Dm chord includes the base open string d (0765 chord)
    4th line - the Gm is a Gm7 and it's a 3 on the d string instead of 5.

    This is as far as I've worked on for now. If I find some more I'll let you know. Hope this helps! Again thanks for the post.

    Hey man! Great work on the tabs! I have about 30 seconds of the song down xD Ima keep goin of course! One thing though, what is the plucking pattern to this song? I try and copy the way you do it on your instructional youtube vid but for some reason it doesnt come out loud enough. Do you use an amp? I can play this song by strumming but not by plucking. Any suggestions?

    Hey there,

    I don't use an amp for the plucking. I'm guessing that the sound doesn't come out well because the chords are pressed properly.

    Some of the chords are a bit of a stretch, or with lots of barring. So you've gotta ensure that you're pressing down hard in order to hear the plucking clearly.

    Hope that helps. All the best! :)

    Hey there,

    You can either:
    1. Print directly from the website
    2. Copy and paste into Microsoft Word and print from there
    3. If the alignments are off in (2), then copy and paste it into .txt file and print
