(1/2) I don't know if it's still needed but i have also tried to transcribe E40 on guitar and this is how I play it: First an Ab (playing just the D# G# and C notes of the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings respectively), then C# (playing F on the 5th, G# on the 4th and C# on the 3rd), then go back to Ab (same as before) and then I'm not sure if it goes to a C#maj7 (playing G# on the 4th, C on the 3rd and F on the 2nd) or just a normal C# (played the same way as the C#maj7 but with a C# on the 3rd string)
(2/2) And that pattern repeats for quite a while (maybe there are some variations, but I haven’t checked it with much detail so I can’t say for sure). Then, on the “Where has elder sister gone” part, you gotta listen to get the strumming pattern and chord duration but the chords I got are C# (or again, maybe C#maj7) (played the same way as before), then Eb (playing A# on the 4th, Eb on the 3rd and G on the 2nd), then back to C#, then Ab (same as before) and finally C# and Eb (these ones last shorter)
(3/2) (whoops) Also, in case people don’t know there is a chord transcription of A Sorceress Girl (or at least the P1K cover of it) on Ultimate Guitar. I’d provide the link but I don’t think I can via ask :c And that should be it, hope this helps ^^
Thank you! I’m so glad that you (and several others) have stepped up to offer your transcriptions of E40, for the whole guitar-playing SGaP fanbase to use. It’s really heartening, and I think I speak for quite a few people when I say it is greatly appreciated (: There is no “official” take on the chords for this song (although SGaP once commented he’d try, alas it was not to be), so having many unofficial transcriptions helps in that different ones might do better on different sections, and as such they all strengthen and support each other when taken as a whole
Ooh, I did not know about this latter transcription. Here’s the run-down for anyone else unaware: Poni1Kenobi did a cover of A Sorceress Girl (which actually merges together parts of the song’s various versions, and closes with the chorus of On My Own), and the musical transcription provides guitar chords for the entirety of this adapted cover
