Going Home

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.

I just wanna ask if the tab was right, because it is a little different from the way you play (only 2).; June 23, 2007 at 10:42 AM
Graham Choo said...: 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; June 23, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; July 10, 2007 at 3:41 AM

Anonymous said...: 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 >,>; September 2, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; September 12, 2007 at 10:09 AM

Graham Choo said...: Hey yeah, I tried my best to put chord names to it, but that's not my strong point, 'cause I'm not musically trained. If you can tell me the right chords, that'd be great. I'll do the necessary changes. Thanks :); December 4, 2007 at 11:04 PM
Anonymous said...: really nice job with the tab and the video man. I took a look at this a while back and I couldn't do most of it. But I'm better now and got a me a better guitar :) I got some of it down already and will be learning more of it.

Thanks again for the awesome tab!; January 4, 2008 at 6:51 PM

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.

anyway, thank you guys and more power! i noticed that you have so many religious songs too. i also like them.; April 30, 2008 at 5:03 PM

Graham Choo said...: Hey Anon E. Mous, thank you so much for alerting me. I did write the tabs out myself, and feel that at least I should get some credit for it. I also reported the tabs as well... heh.

Am glad that you were able to benefit from both the tabs and video. It is a really beautiful song :); April 30, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Graham Choo said...: Hey, people have told me about powertab, but the thing is, I don't know how to read all the timings and notes and stuff. Only know how to write the numbers down, heh.; April 30, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Anonymous said...: 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.

Graham Choo said...: 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.; April 10, 2009 at 12:14 AM
Anonymous said...: 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?; April 15, 2009 at 9:41 AM
Unknown said...: R U using a left hand guitar? and i also wanted to ask u how long it took and to congratulate u!!! XD.; April 15, 2009 at 6:40 PM
Graham Choo said...: 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 :); April 16, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Graham Choo said...: 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 :); April 16, 2009 at 12:12 AM

Anonymous said...: Tabs are great, my fingers are too short to reach some frets and I can't do bar chords there too hard. I'd love to play this song, but I just can't.; November 25, 2010 at 4:34 AM
Anonymous said...: 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.; April 23, 2011 at 9:24 PM
Anonymous said...: 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?; April 28, 2011 at 2:09 AM
Graham Choo said...: 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! :); May 9, 2011 at 10:24 AM

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; July 14, 2012 at 9:32 PM
