From
- Persona 3: Original Soundtrack (Original)
- PERSONA Music Live ~ Velvetroom in Akasaka Blitz DVD (LIVE)

Some extra things to know is that there are TWO guitars in this song. One in STANDARD
one in another tuning. This is more obvious on PERSONA Music Live with Meguro playing in
right channel and someone else playing in the left.
Another thing is, I'm not really sure about the chorus, but the way I do it, it sounds
enough when played along with PERSONA Music Live DVD.

The song itself is really simple itself, it's just knowing when to mute the strings.

Standard tuning.

Pretty easy stuff considering there's an alto sax, a lot of sampled sounds and a dude
in the background. Corrections are welcome!
