I'm trying to learn Fur Elise tab. I mean something thats literally translated form the origanl music that Betovan wrote. I've been looking all over the internet for a while but none of them achally sound like the real thing. I'm looking forward to your endless waves of responces.

I found Fur Elise in a guitar book once and played it as my final in a college guitar course. However, it was the sheet music version altered from the piano to work for guitar. It sounded just like it though because it wasn't missing many notes or anything.
I would think it would be impossibly difficult to play it from tab. It was hard enough with sheet music!

I don't have them scanned, they are as actual sheet music (at this point, somewhere in the attic).
I don't have the tab at all, only the sheet music. It shouldn't be too hard to find the sheet music in all treble clef for guitar. I didn't have a difficult time finding it at all.
It's a very difficult song though. If you're still reading tab, you'll probably want to wait until you're reading music. It's much easier as sheet music.

I could read the sheet music, I was just thinking it would be easier if it was tab. Thanks for the idea.

Can you read music or looking for tab? I found piano sheet music about 7 months ago & learned it on my bass. It was right and difficult to play on 5 strings with normal tuning.
Beethoven: Fur Elise
Let me know what you are looking for & I will see if I can find it.

It would be better if it was tab thats been translated from music. I have a piano sheet music but for guitar there is no bass clef!

The clef doesn't matter. Middle C is middle C. Your guitar plays in the bass register just like my bass plays in the treble.
Once I go above the 5th fret on my G string I am treble clef. It also makes it easier to read than 14 _s above middle c.
This is what I did with the piano score. I transcribed the notes. It is obvious that we do not have 8 octaves like a piano as well as other instrument & physical limitations makes it nearly impossible to play a piano piece exact. There is no way to play 10 notes at once on a guitar. Unless you have a 10 string guitar.
I play the right notes but the octaves are incorrect at times because I don't have a 5th octave and some of the high notes. Then comes the... I can't play it that way because I am playing the counter melody on that string. LOL. It might also be easier on guitar with Bb & 2 E strings.
You can also play it as hammer ons: Play the bass melody with your left hand & the upper melody with your right. Kind of like a piano. ;)
I look & see if what I have & get back with you.

I will leave it to you whether this is helpful or not, but it does say it is for guitar:
6a in Re Tune string 6 to D
string number
1 2 3 4 left hand fingers (1 index, 2 meddle, 3 ring, 4 little)
i m a p right hand finger (i index, m middle, a ring, p thumb)
do not lift the finger (you'll probably need it again soon)
] repeat part
positionA roman numeral under an inverted L indicates position
Parts marked with the roman numerals I, II and III are repeated constantly during the piece, so I'll simply refer to them as I, II and III.
I use string 2 at the beginning because I like the sound of this string on my Contreras. Try string 1 if you prefer. Hold the F in bar 5 until the D and then, "fly" to the A. Dragging the fingers on the nylon strings is ok because they produce no undesired noise. The slurs are optional as long as the accents and fluidity of the music are achieved without them.
In the preceding bar, where it says "use the base of finger 1" refer to the image here .
It looks pretty complicated, good luck! By the way, it is from mangore.com
