O.K. I found the chords for the song "Just Remember I Love You" by Firefall. It was off of their album Titled "Luna Sea" from 1977. The chords are a simple Fmaj7 and G6 in the verse sections and then a progression of C G Fmaj7 in the chorus. Very easy, and fun to play. I tried to TAB out the solo, and I was hoping someone would look it over and let me know how good/bad it is. I used Guitar Pro for it and I am still trying to learn the commands. That being said, some of the notation may be wrong. At any rate, I am mostly curious to see if I got close.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi This opens as a PDF but I'll have a look no guarantees cos I don't even know the song, so I have to work that out first.

Chas:

I had tried to upload it as a guitar pro file, but it was too big......

If you listen to the song in the video in the first section of the post, about 1:36 into the song, the solo will start. Very short. Also, please note that I have trouble with guitar pro still and don't know how to write fluently yet.

Anyway, I appreciate you taking a look. Also, if you like, I could e-mail you the guitar pro file. I think I still have your e-mail address from when you sent something to me earlier.

I'm pretty familiar with the song if you want to email me the GP file.

Will do. I am at another computer right now, but when I get my laptop out this afternoon, I will pass it your way. Thanks for offering.

It sounds like you tabbed out the Sax solo and not the guitar part. Nothing wrong with that since the Sax has the lead right there. I think the guitar is just playing the base progression during that. Of course I'm comparing to a live version. I don't have a studio version to listen to.

If you check out the video link I included earlier, it is for a studio version. The sax is there, but I am pretty sure I hear one guitar playing along with the solo and the other playing the basic Fmaj7 to G6, etc.. That being said, I could be completely wrong as I openly admit my ear is horrible and my transcribing skills are poor. If it is just a sax, was the TAB close minus the bends and things?

Thanks for your help!

Ok, no wonder it sounded off. The version had a sax in place of the lead guitar.
Your tab is close. I think you got the bends correct but the 10th measure is from left field.

I think you're pretty much right on until the 7th measure.

From what I've looked at so far its reasonably close, the second bar I think may beincorrect not 100% yet but I think may not be bending. I also think the tempo is slightly guicker not much my counting was nearer 125. BUt I haven't spent enough time comparing it yet with the clip you sent.
