What do you mean by 'help' ?
Try doing it yourself and post whatever you come up with. Then, I'm sure, people will help you and make suggestions.

The thing is that i don't know anything about music...
I would have to start making notes until i hear something that looks like it
I thought that maybe one of you can transcribe it for me, it would be really cool

Maybe, you should start to make the effort learning at least tab !?
Transcription take time. If somebody has the time to do them for you, your lucky. Usually, people tab the songs they like.
BTW, the recording was played on a nylon string guitar. But, I guess you knew that.
Also, assuming you are a total ear player, this piece is a little involved, IMO.

look, i'm not saying that i don't know how to play guitar, because i know, i also play some asteve vai's songs on mi electric guitar.

Mut my ear is awful, that's why i was asking help, because there's no way i could learn this song by ear.

Hope you understand this time

And yes, i knew it is played with a nylon acoustic guitar

I'm not trying to give you a hard time. However, doesn't it take some ear for music to play Steve Vai's music ? How did you learn Vai's stuff ? I'm a little confused ??? I'm trying to figure out where you're coming from.

IMO that is quite a fanciful request. If figure that request is worth $3oo or so in someone's time and effort (not including tab for the synthesizer ). If someone already had tabbed the song for themselves they might share it, but otherwise do it yourself or offer to pay someone.

I usually learn the songs by tabs, i have a really nice program called guitar pro, that even plays you the songs showing the tablatures.

I mean that without having a tab i can't learn a song, my ear is not very trained

I can figure out how to make it sound like the real song by ear, but having the tab by reference

Silveztre, have you tried doing a search for it at Guitar Tab Universe? If not, try going here and searching to see if someone has already tabbed it out. If they haven't, you can post a request on their forum.

Gilliangirl just gave you some good advice. While this forum is great for talking about guitars and playing technique, it's not really the place to request someone tab something out. It's just not something you see very often.

BTW, you're right, as far as I can tell, the only tabs for Rik Emmett are 2 of his other songs.

And, by the way, I feel your pain, man. I also don't really have the ability to tab something out on my own and generally have to work a song out based on someone else's tabs (then, I can usually say, "That's completely wrong!"). I need a starting point, too

Good luck.

Thanks for understanding guyute and thanks for your help gilliangirl, i'll see if someone there can tab it, at least the beginning, to have an idea.

No problem zilveztre, I like to work from tab. The only thing that sucks about it is that at least on the internet, 75% of it isn't tabbed right. But it's a good starting point and you can say, "that doesn't sound quite right, but THIS does!" once you have the basic progression down.

I'm with you man. If it weren't for tab on the internet, I'd probably know 5 or 6 songs instead of the 300+ I know now!

Oh, and those 5 or 6 would almost definitely be in the wrong key

yes, i'd have all the songs i know wrong too

the thing with this guy emmett is that he's not very known, because i've been searching for any record to download, but i couldn't find anything except of the one i have, and from that one is this song i want to learn!

i felt quite dissapointed when i couldn't find any tab, that's why i asked here... and i'm looking everywere for someone that can tab it for me.
