Authors Notes:
Well, I first heard this Japanese song, about 2 weeks 
from writing this, from the
Anime Bleach, as the intro. Sooner or later I was 
determinded to find out how to
play the guitar riffs and tunes. So later I got my 
hands on the Asterisk full
version and wasn't as impressed as it was somehow 
different from the intro. I just
decided to keep listening to the Anime version. As 
there aren't really any tabs on
the net of Asterisk that I've seen, I've decided to 
stick this on for those people
intrested. NOTE however that the tabs shown here will 
be from the OST of Bleach and
not the full version.

{Standard tuning}

Playing Notice:
The tabs my sound odd at first, but you can download 
the OST of Asterisk for Bleach
at * (Must be a member). If you already have the 
soundtrack, then
listen through the parts of which is shown here and try
 to follow along. There will
be various parts of the song here as I am not fully 
finished finding out all the tabs,
nor am I sure if a set of tabs are for a bass or a 
guitar as I only own an Acoustic.

The numbers shown in the 'title' of each set of tabs 
are how long each set is played
for eg. the first one * means the first 16 seconds of 
the soundtrack.

][1st Electric Riff (Foreground) = *][

Please bare with me here. I'm not sure if this is a 
bass or a guitar part and the tabs
too simple however I've written them as if it were for 
a guitar. Can be improved and revised.

Basically this bit just repeats itself over and over 
even though it sounds like it's
This is relitively easy to learn after about a few days
 practicing.

][3rd Electric (Foreground) = *][

Again with this bit, I'm not sure if this is for the 
bass or guitar and is in guitar
It's hard for me bacuse I have a classical acoustic and
 it's difficult to tell.

That's all I know about the tabs.
