Life Force - Triple Core Boss Tab

Life Force (NES) 1986
Triple Core Boss
The song is technically called "Aircraft Carrier"
Tabbed by iloveamanda12
 
Such a great game. One of my all-time favorites! Typically, of NES and 8-bit games,
it has great and extremely catchy music, too.
 
This can't be played on a guitar unless you're willing to go with a heavier gauge
string and tuning higher. I certainly don't recommend that. It can be adapted
for a keyboard though. I'll also include a version of the intro that's transposed down
an octave for guitar. Enjoy the final song to this amazingly fun and addictive classic.

==========
 
This section repeats infintely
 
Note: I didn't transpose this down an octave because a guitar is capable of
      these notes. If you want it to maintain the sound of the guitar intro,
      simply play these notes an octave lower.

Layout Notation:
 
====== - Section, such as Bridge or solo, closed (after correct number of plays, move to the next section)
=      - Section, such as Bridge or solo, still active: after correct number of plays, move to next bar.
x(#)   - Repeat as indicated (x3 indicates repeating the riff twice more, etc.)
 
Grid Notation:
 
~      - vibrato (bend the string and release rapidly)
*      - deaden note (stop notes from ringing)
#      - pick slide (#\ inidcates sliding lower in pitch, #/ indicates higher in pitch)
X      - dead string (Mute string with your fretting hand)
{}     - pinch harmonic (bring the picking thumb across the string after picking note)
[]     - natural harmonic (lightly rest fretting finger on string, then pick)
 
/      - slide up (higher in pitch)(2/4 indicates fretting the 2nd fret, then sliding to the 4th without
                a 2nd pick-stroke)
\      - slide down (lower in pitch)(4/2 indicates fretting the 4th fret, then sliding to the 2nd without
                a 2nd pick-stroke)
b      - bend ("16b" would indicate bending the 16th fret)
r      - release bend ("16br" would indicate bending the 16th fret up, then releasing back to neutral 
position)
br     - bend, then release
brp    - bend, release, then pull; usually in a fluid motion
h      - hammer-on to indicated fret (0h2 indicates picking open string, then fretting the 2nd fret without
                a second pick-stroke)
p      - pull-off to indicated fret (12p10 indicates picking the twelfth fret, then lifting your finger to
                a pre-fretted 10th fret without a second pickstroke)
pb     - pre-bend, in some cases signifies a previous bend being held (bend the string before picking)
pbr    - pre-bend release (bend the string before picking, then release string after picking)
T      - Tap note with pick or a picking hand finger, usually in a quick hammer-on/pull-off section
TR     - trill (10TR12 would indicate to hammer and pull continually between the two specified notes)
trm    - tremolo pick (pick very rapidly)
 
 
Above Grid Notation:
 
.      - palm mute (mute the strings with your picking hand while picking)
\/     - use tremolo bar ("whammy" bar)(either raise or lower the pitch dramatically)
^      - Upstroke (use an up pick-stroke)
