anyway yea i would like to make a request for music, Grace is Gone (from Lilywhite Sessions prefferably)

also whitey i was just curious what type of alto and soprano sax do you have?

I'll take a look at the GIG for you when I get a chance.

I play an LA Sax Chicago Series sand finished alto sax and a reverse nickel Cannonball soprano.

[ryno6252]

If you have the time how about some more trumpet parts...by the way great job.

[Koumoulas]

Wow Im playing sax for ants marching this coming february. I only had my ears to figure out the beginning/solo but having the whole song on sheet music is fantastic, thanks so much man! Muchhh appreciated!

sooo if its an E on guitar its E on piano?


what about the fact that piano has extra notes tho? guitar is E A D G B e (unless the chart i saw is for a different tuning or something) where piano is C D E F G A B.

I can't explain why, but your not thinking of it the right way.

Don't think of the strings as the key, just the tuning...but to answer your question, yes an E on the guitar is an E on the piano.

Hey Whiteysax, I hate bothering you with requests, but would it be possible for you to transcribe the sax part of You Never Know (even if it's just the solo during the end jam) for me? My friend wants to play sax on my acoustic version of this song, but she needs the sheet music.

i found a website after i asked that that has a breakdown of what every note on a guitar would be on a piano. this look right to you?

http://www.pianotabs.net/gui2pia.txt

i tried to use the tabs for The Stone from dmbtabs and i got D A# F# G# G# F F# F for the intro riff. but it doesn't sound right.

then i found this site....

http://pianotab.yepcheck.com/

you can copy and paste the tab into the converter and it will tell you what it is on piano. the problem is it doesn't work on a lot of songs because dave always has so much going on. the stone was one that worked, and that came out as D A F G G E F E. that sounds better, but the end sounds messed up.

i just started fooling around and started playing this and i think it sounds better than the other two that are "correct".
D A F G G F E D (the final D acts as the first D in the next measure)

i think guitar has all the same notes as piano (12 different ones), its just the way they are played is way different on a guitar because of the strings, but a Cm chord on guitar is just C Bb D all played at the same time, just like piano

maybe its in Am but they thought it was in A

[MisuerDomino]

E A D G B e denotes what notes are played when you play a string on a guitar without holding anything down. Holding the first fret down raises the pitch a half-step, and so on for each fret higher, so on the low E string, holding the first fret gets you an F, then the second fret gives you an F sharp, and so on. so if you're working with tabs, just remember that rule and count up from zero in half steps for each note. if you're working with sheet music, well...it's fairly self explanatory, since nothing needs to be changed

ok... this conversation gives me a headache...
long story short... figure out the note name of the note you're playing on guitar... figure out what key is what note on a piano and play that note name... same note. "Tab" as it is known in the guitar realm should never be used for piano... when I create "piano tabs" for DMB riffs like I have on my sight, I simply notate out the riff to each section in normal, western music notation. To me, that is what a "piano tab" should be... not a set of numbers and dashes

[whiteysax]

I have been slacking on my dmb transcribing, but I've had commissioned work I need to finish first. Don't worry... when I get the time, I'll go through these requests... I've been making a list:
DSR
Minarets
Sugar Will
GIG
YNK

The album sax solo transcription if you can please. Thanks man.

I've really enjoyed the tone I get from it... the sand finish helps to cut down on the higher overtones, so it isn't too bright... still brighter than I like, though... however, over time, I've become annoyed with the intonation from top to bottom... it isn't the most evenly tuned horn... the low end tends to go a bit sharp. Switching to a Meyer piece helped a bit... but it still takes some work with the emboucher to keep it even

i'll see what i can do...

do you reccomend it for an intermediate horn?

[whiteysax]

i wouldn't... you want something a little more reliable that you don't have to shop around for accessories for. I always recommend Yamaha intermediate horns... Y-52's are great. That's the tenor I play (looking to upgrade).

[whiteysax]

Started working on those requests... here's the first update:
A Dream So Real (soprano and alto transposition)
You Never Know (soprano album transcription)

no prob!

[zagaboot808]

when you do these transcriptions, do you play the solo along as you hear it or can you tell the note right when its played?
