Hopefully Chris will read this and can help out. I've transcribed the song "How The Story Ends" and while I have the notes I can't figure out how Chris is tapping the descending arpeggio section.

The tabs can be viewed in different formats here:

If you look at measures 74-77 or so (2:36 in song), it's a very fluid 4 note descending arp thing. For now I just put the notes as if you were going to sweep them and didn't worry too much about position since I'm 99% sure Chris is tapping or using all legato for this section and I'll need to rework it anyway.

So my question for Chris is, how exactly are you playing this section?

And for anyone else who's interested in the other tabs, you can find them all here:

Nice job!!!

there are definitely corrections to be made but a lot of effort went into that. Roadrunner TV Australia has a recording of me playing that so that should point you in the right direction.

Take care, Chris.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I searched online for anything related to Roadrunner TV Australia and didn't see any videos of you. Does anyone have a link to what Chris is talking about?

Thanks again for the reply Chris.
