#kpop guitar tabs

[insoos-gf]

Just wondering

Would anyone be interested in an other account for fan-chords/tabs of kpop songs for guitar Bc I often find out chords (on my own; if i'd take them from some video i'd credit them) & idk what to do with them since i cant actually sing or play the guitar well but i could share so that other people can use them? I could also take requests and stuff but i dont want to be annoying or anything so i'll ask before doing anything

A little about myself

I had a basic interest in cars prior to having Wi-Fi installed @ my house, which is the majority of my childhood and teen years. As a kid I challenged myself to memorize every single car’s make and model, along with its generation. During my free time I played Gran Turismo 3, 4 and Forza Motorsport 4, there I learned about the existence of exotic supercars and JDM.

During my mid teen years I received a Samsung Galaxy SIII for my birthday, I used it to text my friends, s.o., make minimal searches (e.g. hw related, guitar tabs, etc.) and listen to music at 128kbps ripped from youtube, it was great. At the time I could only browse the internet via limited data credits from my phone service provider ~you have to buy a prepaid card, plug the code from the card to your cellphone as if you’d be making a call, once you do that you’re able to buy data or minutes from its app.

When I graduated from high school I finally got Wi-Fi, I was able to watch videos, resume my short lived weeb childhood, play online, browse reddit, and rediscover early 2000s kpop, which 8 year old me had no idea it was kpop. While spending countless hours at night binging youtube I found some channels that refueled my interest for cars. Among which I can make a list:

• Video Option

• Best Motoring / Hot Version

• Classic Top Gear / Grand Tour

• DSport

• Drift Station

• Donut Media

• Scotty Kilmer

• Chrisfix

• Papadakis Racing

• Engineering Explained

and bunch of other smaller user’s top speed clips / engine work

After so much automotive content being consumed, along with quite a few google searches, I became familiarized with a lot of the jargon.

You are the sweetest! I really liked Red Velvet’s Psycho! It’s got kind of a chill vibe to it but also feels wintery at the same time. WEi just debuted so I’m not surprised you haven’t heard about them! I found out about them through a Youtube channel I like. Their title track Twilight is cute and fun!What instruments can you play?? I played the flute in high school and I took guitar lessons for a bit! My hands are really small so I struggle trying to get the chords on the guitar. *-*

(2) I got tickets to an online concert for the group Misterwives this weekend! They are one of my favorite bands! I think their music is so interesting and unique! If you had to recommend one song from a non-kpop group, what would it be? A mini birthday party sounds like so much fun!!! I’m glad you got to enjoy yourself! Surprisingly it’s been a busy time at work and I was a bit sick this weekend but I’m feeling much better! Thank you for sending love and kindness 💕 It’s much appreciated. *-*

I can play clarinet, Saxophone, little bit of piano and guitar. I took lessons for guitar for a bit but my teacher was not prepared for me to already know music and it did not help me as much. He only taught me chords and to read TAB. My only problem with playing guitar is that my nails grow so fast and I have to constantly trim them to play 😭

I currently in my university Marching Band. It is a fun time.

I hope you enjoy your online concert. 💕💕 My first concert ever was a Taylor Swift one. I don't really like her music that much but only went because it was free for me (spare ticket) and my friends really wanted to go. I could have gone to Chicago to see Stray Kids when they were touring but I am the only person that like them in my friend group and I really didn't want to go alone. I got to see their online concert though!!!

A non-kpop artist I adore is Lollia. She does a lot of music covers of Vocaloid, anime, and some originals. Lollia's voice is very unique and soothing to listen to. I love Pierrot by her. Nice acoustic feel~ I really want to learn to play it.

I am glad you a feeling better💕💕 I am always here to spread positivity and love. If you need it I got you💕

Merry Christmas, @hannars97!

One of the requests was for "really like stiles discovered kpop and drag derek with him" and, though my Kpop and Krock knowledge is a couple of years out of date (and I always tended towards Jpop and Jrock because of my job at Jrock Revolution... XD;;), it seemed like Hanna was excited for that particular prompt, so I tried my best and gave it a go! I'm crossing my fingers that you enjoy reading this story, Hanna, and I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season. <3

Words Fail & Music Speaks

Falling 이대로 falling for you 날 잡아줄 수 없어도 Falling 또 다시 falling for you 날 감싸줄 수 없나요 Falling like this, falling for you Even if you can’t catch me Falling once again, falling for you Can’t you embrace me? “Falling” – John Park

+

”Where words fail, music speaks.” - Hans Christian Andersen

+

The Stilinski household had once been a home filled with music: rock, pop, classical, Broadway, country—anything and everything was a possibility to be heard. Certain days tended to lean towards a particular style of music—Fridays were the most likely day of the week for Noah to drop by the house and find Claudia singing along to an old school country song, rolling pin clutched in one hand as a makeshift microphone while Sundays typically had Stiles bouncing around the living room and jumping from sofa to armchair to sofa again, headbanging and doing air guitar along to Metallica’s Enter Sandman album. It was a home rich in sounds, in lyrics, and varying vocal qualities and styles.

In various languages, as well:

Claudia introduced Stiles to her favorite Polish singers early on in his life, wanting to share her history, culture, and language with her son as much as possible: because of that, the amber-eyed boy grew up singing along to Marcin Rozynek, Magda Piskorczyk, Stanisław Sojka, Natalia Kukulska, and Irena Jarocka, using his favorite songs from each to slowly teach himself the language that his mother had grown up speaking with the rest of her family when she was his age.

Stiles had only managed a passing ability in Polish before his mother got sick and worsened under the onslaught of the frontotemporal dementia’s symptoms; after the diagnosis came in, the young boy had buckled down and studied for all he was worth, singing old lullabies that he had found on the internet to Claudia on the days her disease struck hardest—hoping, perhaps, that the familiarity of her first language would offer some comfort to his mother as she got worse and worse in the hospital, health slowly but surely spiraling into a decline.

The other side of the coin—the downside—in learning songs to sing and the language to speak to his mother in came as thus:

Noah and Claudia had known from an early age that something was off about their son. His energy tended to be in excess to the children around him and school was a chore for two particular reasons: either Stiles found it impossible to concentrate on the tasks assigned to him, becoming disruptive to the other students around him, or he focused so thoroughly on his assignments that it was difficult to coax him into moving to something new. Doctors were able to diagnose the signs early on and it was a constant and regular occurrence after that to try and find a medication and dosage amount that would work best with Stiles. A solution was eventually settled on—though no medication was one hundred percent perfect—and so Claudia had searched for supplements to include to help her son with his concentration and attention issues.

It wasn’t long after that the Stilinski matriarch discovered that music helped Stiles in unexpected ways; when Claudia ran foreign music in the background, Stiles was able to better concentrate—part of his mind focusing on the music and language, running along with it. But, because the words weren’t in English, they instead became a reassuring background noise to the boy, allowing most of his attention to actually shift to his schoolwork and other assignments given to him.

Claudia’s Polish records, cassettes, and CDs became a default to turn to, if only because her collection for that particular language was the largest, started when she was a little girl. Spanish came soon after: taught at school and the secondary language of California with Stiles the first one to the counter at the local panadería, rattling off their grocery list with a wide smile: pork and chicken tamales for their Wednesday dinner, pan de leche, conchas, and ensaïmada to eat at breakfast and as treats throughout the week (the conchas were always the first to go once Stiles got tall enough to reach the bread box that they were all stored in).

The downside to immersing himself in Polish to offer up a sort of comfort to Claudia as she lay sick and dying came when it became harder and harder to focus on homework with Natalia Kukulska running in the background—after all, now, Stiles was actually able to understand the lyrics that she sang. The same issue arose the further along in Spanish the boy got at school, vocabulary and conjugations gone over week after week, and though Stiles didn’t think that he’d ever be one hundred percent fluent in the language… he now knew enough to understand bits and pieces of the songs played on the radio.

After Claudia passed away, Stiles eventually gave up listening to either option, defaulting to classical music or instrument-focused electronica and club mixes to help him concentrate during extra long homework sessions or research binges. Unfortunately, the music genres were never as helpful as the Polish and Spanish songs were—the lack of vocals giving the boy’s mind an opportunity to drift without that extra safeguard to ensure he stayed on task; it wasn’t completely horrible—not as bad as what it could be—but… well, for quite a while, Stiles’ grades definitely took the brunt of that particular hit.

+

It wasn’t until years later that Stiles finally stumbled across a solution.

Literally.

The teen had been running various YouTube users’ playlist mixes in the background of his laptop while on his current supernaturally-prompted research extravaganza. The latest Big Bad wasn’t a creature that Stiles was able to find in the Argents’ beastiary despite several days of finetoothed combing, so turning to the internet was the next step when the usual tools finally ran dry.

He’d pulled up a playlist from a user that the whiskey-eyed teen typically relied on for ambient, background music, and things had been going well for the majority of the night: until the playlist switched to a new song, one that must have been recently added, and Stiles paused for a moment in his reading to shoot the YouTube tab a suspicious, furrowed look.

Korean began playing over the laptop’s speakers, and the teen huffed a quiet breath while switching over to the video platform website so that he could skip the song and move ahead to the next one.

The moment that Stiles clicked on the tab to see a young man perched on a large throne and wearing a black and white pinstriped suit, bright red hair flowing over the chair’s arms and to the floor, the teen’s eyebrows slowly began to creep up his forehead. The visuals didn’t do much to appeal to him—the scenes with the astronauts left him rather unimpressed—but the dirt scene, one that seemed to ooze post-apocalyptic setting? It intrigued Stiles enough to get him to stay and to continue watching despite the music genre not being what he typically enjoyed listening to as the autoplay selection shifted over to the next song… which ended up being another Korean pop song.

This song—called “Lucifer” and performed by a band called SHINee—had elements of electronica and pop that drew him in more thoroughly than the previous music video. It went without saying that the teen’s interest was piqued by a variety of new music styles, a language that he wasn’t too familiar with—Korean had never been one of the languages that Claudia had played for him when Stiles was young—and researching the newest supernatural threat took a pause while the teen got caught up in a new type of binge watching and listening.

Perhaps after forty-five minutes or so into the various videos that Stiles clicked, one after another, he finally came across a music video that made him pause: the song was older, probably recorded back in 2009, but the genre reminded the teen a lot of the old ballads and R&B songs that Claudia used to sing along to before she got sick. The song was called ”One” and was sung by a group called Dong Bang Shin Ki; looking back, Stiles was able to pinpoint that this was the exact moment when his interest shifted and perhaps turned a bit more serious: curiosity took precedent as the amber-eyed teen scooted closer to his desk, fully prepared and ready to dive more completely into this new thing that caught his attention.

From ”Rising Sun” (also from Dong Bang Shin Ki) to ”Passion” from a singer called SE7EN to a video called ”LA Song” from a guy who sometimes went by either Bi or Rain to ”Sorry Sorry” from a boyband with a ton of members that were called Super Junior to ”Eat You Up” from a pretty kickass female singer named BoA… the more Stiles explored, the more intrigued he became—and the more obvious it was that he preferred certain singers and groups over others, as well as certain time periods in what had been produced and released. (And when he eventually stumbled across Seo Taiji, EVE, and The TRAX, too…? The bottomless hole that was his typical research binge became that much deeper.)

The teen ended up staying up until dawn, ignoring the first blush of light that highlighted the horizon and slipped through his window in a fall of gold, and instead continued clicking from music video and performance—one after another—until Stiles’ dad yelled at him to start getting ready for school because otherwise he’d be late.

+

It was a pattern that quickly established itself as a regular one, and it didn’t take long before the teen was switching his music from the previously established instrument-based electronica and classical music to Kpop (and Krock, on occasion) playlists from YouTube users. He liked the older groups, the ones from 2008 and on—they typically had more of an R&B feel to their music, especially the ballads, and it made Stiles nostalgic for his mom (when that happened, the whiskey-eyed teen tended to lean more heavily towards listening to a singer called Eru).

Such was how Derek eventually stumbled upon Stiles: with the teen absently bopping his head along to Super Junior’s “MAMACITA” playing on low in the background while Stiles paged through another hunter family’s beastiary—given to him by Peter at the pack’s last meet-up, and the teen had been too intrigued at the chance to dive into another family’s records that he didn’t bother asking too many questions about how Derek’s uncle had managed to get his sneaky, sneaky hands on it.

The dichotomy—the unexpected sight of Stiles happily moving along to a song in another language—and what the Hale Alpha had been expecting was enough to make Derek pause at Stiles’ bedroom’s windowsill, and the older man’s expressive eyebrows slowly lowered in confusion as a pale gaze flickered from the oblivious teen to his laptop and back again.

“Do you even know what they’re saying?” the werewolf asked, pitching his voice loud enough for Stiles to hear over the beat of the music. In all honesty, Derek felt that he should have been surprised by finding the teen listening to what he was—but, then again, the Alpha had also stumbled across the cassette collection that Stiles kept in the Jeep. True enough, many of the tapes were legacies left to him from Claudia Stilinski… but a fair amount of the newer looking tapes had Stiles’ writing on them. And those tapes could be described as ‘eclectic’ at best.

“Nope. Do you?” the teen shot back without missing a beat, already alerted to Derek’s incoming visit by the proximity wards, and instead flipped the next page in the new beastiary. A creature that Stiles had never come across before—neither in the Argents’ records nor on the Redbull-fueled internet research binges—was this section’s Big Bad, and it took only moments before Stiles’ attention shifted from the bemused werewolf still perched on his windowsill to the book spread across his lap.

Stiles’ easy disregard sparked something within Derek’s chest—if the Alpha was truthful with no one but himself, at least he could admit within the shadowed protection of his mind that it was an emotion very close to jealousy that surged to ugly life—and the corner of his mouth twisted downwards.

“I do,” he answered in turn, and the burn softened back down to ambers as Stiles slowly blinked, obviously returning to the immediate here and now as he shifted his attention back to the waiting Alpha. Curiosity lit that amber gaze and, to further prove that he could do as he claimed, Derek tilted his head to the side to listen to the lyrics for a moment or two before translating aloud for Stiles’ benefit: “Why are you shutting your mouth right now? Did you decide to just go with the flow? Just say Shh!, then everything will calm down. Everyone keeps nagging. Were you expecting us to be Superman? This world is good enough to play in, right? If you do as you always did, go as you always went. There’s no way you’ll stick out and be hit by a hammer.”

“…oh,” came Stiles’ reply as the teen blinked once more and glanced towards his computer, a new appreciation at understanding a portion of the song softening the look in his eyes. “That’s… not what I was expecting. I like it, though.”

Drawn into the teen’s orbit as the moon drew the ocean’s to tide, Derek ducked the top of the pane and shifted more completely into the familiar warmth of Stiles’ bedroom. One step after another, and curiosity at this unexpected Stiles Trivia tidbit drew the older man to the other’s laptop. A single touch woke it to life—and it was then that Derek saw just how many Kpop playlists the teen had loaded and waiting to be switched over to. The eyebrows yet again traveled upwards over Derek’s forehead, and he poked around each one to see what it was that Stiles had managed to find and collect since the last time the ‘wolf had stopped by his room.

“Why’re you listening to all of this when you don’t understand it?” Derek eventually asked as he scrolled down a list of BoA’s songs that was… rather long.

Stiles remained silent for a long moment, tap-tap-tapping his pen against the curve of a pale, bared knee—and eventually offered up a one-shouldered shrug, Gallic and enigmatic in its lack of meaning. “It helps me concentrate,” the teen replied after a moment or two of Derek waiting, silent and expectant for any real sort of reply. “It was a trick that my mom used to do with different languages. I figured that I would give it a try with… this. It works, so… does it really matter why?”

The connection to a memory from a dead and gone family member—the tenseness along the line of Stiles’ spine, the slight hitch of his voice when he mentioned his mother: they were things that Derek still did himself when talking about the family that he’d lost; it didn’t matter if the loss was years past: some hurts just… didn’t heal.

Derek fell silent at that even as he continued to click through the teen’s playlists, taking note of various artists—seeing if there was a pattern to Stiles’ preferences (there was) and weighing, considering, an idea that slowly began to form along the edges of his mind. Vague and more of an outline of an idea than anything concrete, but… a possibility, a hint, a chance towards something.

“What’s your favorite song? I can translate it for you—if you’d like.”

Vulnerability softened the normally iron strength that filled Stiles’ caramel gaze, and the smile that the teen offered the ‘wolf was crooked and sulky-sweet with understanding and unspoken affection. “…okay,” he agreed, setting aside the bestiary to return to it once Derek was gone. “I’d like that, yeah.”

+

Stiles paused as he flipped open the screen for his laptop, confusion furrowing his brow at stumbling across two tickets—obviously concert tickets, though Stiles hadn’t bothered checking to see if any of his favorite bands and singers were on tour for perhaps two years now (no point, he’d always figured; you never knew when the latest monster flavor of the week would decide to rear its ugly head). So, that being the case, where had these come from…?

The teen flipped them over to see the front of the printed tickets, eyes going wide as he finally caught sight of what the concert was: The Korea Times Music Festival—pool tickets at the Hollywood Bowl with the date showing a little bit more than a month from now.

How…?

What?

…why.

(All pertinent questions that Stiles didn’t have the answer to—but desperately wanted.)

Glancing down to his computer’s keyboard, Stiles picked up the Post-It Note that had been stuck to the back of the topmost ticket, bright yellow slip of paper slipping away as he picked them up. Derek’s sloppy scrawl was immediately recognizable after too many years of notes left behind for Stiles to find in a variety of places (places typically geared towards pissing the teen off during the Cold War portions of their Alpha-Emissary relationship).

Feeling up to heading down to SoCal next month to see some of your bands perform live?

“You grade-A asshole,” Stiles muttered around a bright, happy laugh—corner of his mouth curling upwards into a stupidly sappy grin, dimples on display for anyone to see—and the boy didn’t bother trying to fight against the supernova strength flare of relief and glee and want that exploded to life within the confines of Stiles’ chest as he read the note from Derek.

The answer, when Stiles sent it via text, was simple enough:

I totally am! But only if you’re coming with me, O Alpha Mine. ;)

headcanon ; other idol groups

summary: he doesn’t really care for other idol group’s music as he’s too embroiled in the woes of soft ballads. however, there are a few groups that he keeps tabs on, mainly because the music is catchy and on days where he’s at the gym, nothing beats out heavy cardio than the sounds of bass bumpin’ frilly pop music. warnings: none, mentions of a few other groups wc: 501

bc entertainment

decipher

as much he would hate to admit this in public or in the presence of his friends, he doesn’t really hate decipher’s music as a whole.

of course, he despises having to still wear a pair of skin tight skinny jeans, sequined with odd details and frolic around stage to dances like ‘ring ding dong’. however, the music itself isn’t that bad.

he’ll find himself listening to old songs, recollecting memories of being trapped inside the studios practicing over and over again - the pain that was felt at that moment. however, when he listens to the music he won’t argue that it’s not catchy. 

the lyrics itself of most of the songs are rudimentary, childish and meant to only garner money. however, the melody and the beat are always the best tracks to run, flesh out the apprehension that sits in his body as he’s working out.

his favorites? probably - view, 1 of 1, hello, sherlock, be mine and of course ring ding dong

knight

the junior male group after his. to be honest, he’s grateful that knight made such an impact on the scene because it made bc’s focus shift to these newer groups rather than push constant comebacks down decipher’s throat

he’s trained with a few members and has watched from the sideline their growth, although he’s not really one to keep track with specifics of each comeback.

he still manages close friendships with a few members in the knight, often contacting them for a drink when he feels that nobody else can provide a listening ear as nobody knows the ins and outs of bc entertainment like the idols within bc can.

he supports knight actively, often forced by bc to push for a ‘united family’ image. when he finds a song he likes, he’ll post it on his story. during interviews and fan signs, he’ll always point to them as his favorite male group currently.

his favorites? lotto, monster, koko bop, loveshot, tempo

when he wants to make fun of his hoobae’s he’ll bring up mama era, and talk about how great they looked in the over sagged sweatpants and wolf cuts.

wish

at this point, he can’t name how many members of wish there are nor can he recall all their names. they debuted 7 years apart from him, making him immune to their whereabouts when they all were trainees.

he can name 3 members at the top of his head, and they’re probably the only three he has interacted with on a personal level.

however, he’s caught up on the wish craze and actively follows their comebacks. not so much for their music, but i suppose you all can guess why he follows them so closely

would never be caught dead admitting he follows wish. it hurts his pride too much, so he always brushes it off as the ‘concerned sunbae watching out for his hoobaes’ when in reality, he’s the furthest thing from a supportive sunbae.

his favorites? TT, feel special and what is love? 

dimensions

unity

unity is the second male group he keeps track of behind knight. he got into them because of a mutual friend he had in that group, but soon after he found himself drawn to the music

he likes the youthfulness the group provides as a hole, a hallmark of the modern day kpop that has transcended the boundaries of what he knew

he likes their different concepts and experimentation, and it doesn’t hurt that the music tends to be a catalyst to his cardio

this is a newer group he follows, only really keeping up with there whereabouts in the recent months - he likes the powerful nature they provide - alpha dogs

favorites? 7th sense, cherry bomb, touch and regular

gold star

gold star soloist 1

he wasn’t really aware of her presence, just knowing that they debuted in the same year and have been in the industry for a while

he doesn’t particularly fanboy over her like the rest of the world seems to, but more so appreciates the artist for the music - a rairty, huh? 

he likes the soft unique tone of the voice and the way the lyrics impeach onto the heart in another way, providing him the soundtrack for his softboy blues

he read somewhere that she wrote her own music, which was impressive to him making him more invested

with each release, he’s the first to listen to the album enjoying the soft strums of the guitar and the soothing quells of the voice which sound like lullabies playing through the speakers

now, he’s just a supportive friend as they’ve grown close over a talk between strangers

favorites? through the night, ending night, don’t love you anymore

fuse

as much as people like to berate him for supporting girl groups of another company, he can’t argue that gold star has taste in creating girl groups

he doesn’t so much like the aesthetics? as he sees the stylings often far too tacky for his liking with the eccentric colors and vibrant hues all over the screen, but he enjoys their music

he likes how this group has perfect music for summer bops as well as the melancholic eerie sounds they produce in the later seasons.

there’s two concepts, and he’s a fan of velvet finding it soothing to listen to on his stretches during cool down

favorites? red flavor, power up, peekaboo, bad boy, russian roulette 

femme fetale

again, another girl group from gold star - i suppose he just really likes girl groups that keep coming out of this company

he likes the powerful trumpets that blare in each of their songs - the perfect song to box to or jumprope to

they don’t comeback often, but when they do he finds himself turning it on at first to shake his head and call it shit, but after listening to it three times, he finds himself hooked, humming the chorus to himself

favorites? don’t know what to do without you, forever young, as if it’s your last, and du du du du
