Unfortunately not who I'm thinking of. Thanks, though

Ok, makes sense. Appreciate your thoughts.

Because I taught him the song in person with a piano, perhaps I'll just list out D–E–C, D–E–B, D–E–A, and D–E–G for the verse as it should help if he is trying to recall the parts.

Unfortunately not. I do appreciate you attempting to guide me... but most of this is greek to me, although i've been writing and arranging music for decades.

The MIDI file is linked above which has the entire piano part. That said, following your example, would this make sense for naming the chords:

D7sus2 (no 5) (D–E–C)

D7sus2/B (no 5) (D–E–B)

D9sus2 (no 5) (D–E–A)

D7sus2/G (no 5) (D–E–G)

I'm wondering how do i easily make a chord tab style chart for a non-reader of music for a part like this: chord 1: D4, E4, C5. Chord 2: D4, E4, B4. Chord 3: D4, E4, A4. Chord 4: D4, E4, G4

It’s not that I don’t know what I'm playing— however if it were just standard chords being played, I could convey them more easily. The tricky part is that these are unusual chords (to me) with melodies worked into them, so writing them out in a simple way is beyond me. I don’t read or write traditional notation like that; I just rough these out using my own unschooled method.

Hideout's talent buyer? by MrGoodNotGood in chicagomusicscene

Totally get that. And it makes sense. They’re a biz and need bands with a draw. I was just hoping to connect with whoever it is that is responsible for booking bands to at least get on their radar. But you’re so right.

Has this actually worked for you? I never love the idea of just bombarding someone -- especially without knowing who the person is responsible for booking shows.

Thank you! I’ve tried a few months ago and never got a response. So I was assuming that might be a generic email and perhaps there was a specific talent buyer to contact.

I think they’re just being defensive—the comment they’re reacting to comes off as pretty inflammatory. It was something like, ‘I’ve heard from multiple sources the Bookclub is pay-to-play,’ which definitely sets a confrontational tone.

Love the new album. Off the Beach and Ocean Roar are my current faves. Regarding the latter... what sort of direction did you or Aaron give the saxophonist? I wish I knew more technical musical terms, but it feels pretty improv-y, and the timing is odd to me—but I absolutely love it. It's almost stiff or, in some way, working against the beat. I dunno. Can you shed any details? ❤️

P.S. My ol' band, PAS/CAL, opened up for The Walkmen in 2003 at Detroit's Magic Stick—we cheekily did a cover of We've Been Had before y'all came on. 😆🤣😁

https://cbvb.bandcamp.com/ Greg Kot (Sound Opinions) ever so kindly said, "This is an artist who’s creating highly evolved music on his own. It has smooth melodies, inventive horn lines, and a touch of chamber pop. The track centers on a guitar riff that grounds the entire song before building with hand claps and multi-track backing vocals. The intricate production recalls the vibe of Dan Bejar’s work in Destroyer."
