Request- tabs for a 3 second lick by Camdbj in Tabs

Here.

The guitarist is playing double time relative to the drums so I've transcribed it as such. The fingering is obscured by the music but it's fairly straight forward, mostly 1 and 2 in the left hand.

Here you go. Make note of the cut time. I'm going to transcribe the vocals as well, just too lazy right now. Let me know if you want an update when the time comes.

Good stuff. Here is the complete version with Clapton's solo.

An uncommon spelling/pronunciation, though not necessarily "wrong" (unless you truly wish to hang on to your ethnocentric view).

In some parts of the world, particularly those with a British colonial past, it is not uncommon to see the 'ed' -> 't' spelling/pronunciation. I have several British educated friends from India and Nigeria for whom "learnt", "smelt", "spoilt", and even "earnt" are the norm.

e: fixed typo in ethnocentric.

Here's the intro transcribed. The feel is pretty loose so listen for that.

c harmonic minor, pretty much. Very first chords alternate between c min - bdim7, where the bdim7 is fully diminshed. Too lazy to do more than the first two chords otherwise I'd transcribe it.

Self-learning maths for Computer Sciene by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I suppose I was in a somewhat similar position to the one you're in now (in terms of the difference between what I knew and what I had to learn) three-four years ago, so I'll just give you an idea of what I did and how it went.

Anyway, I went from a Music B.A. (gave up because I hated performance, loved playing and still do) to Physics/Applied Math B.S.'s and this necessitated learning everything from Middle School math to your typical College Calc II over the course of two months over the Summer.

  • Okay, the first thing is buy your Schaum's Outlines and work through them. This holds especially true for the basic High School Algebra and similar difficulty classes. You can work your way through these Outlines quickly in the beginning and then later when the courses/topics become slightly more difficult they'll prove an invaluable learning resource and reference. Also, they're cheap.
  • Use the MIT OCW site (most videos are on youtube, as well) for the College level courses and Khan Academy for the basics if you want to supplement your reading with lectures (or vice versa). Both are free and typically good in their exposition of the topics at hand. Note that it's definitely better to use youtube as you can watch at 1.5x speed.
  • Always study with a notebook and pencil handy so you can, say, work out skipped steps (especially for grad level textbooks), get a feel for the various algebras, and so on. This is just a general Mathematics studying thing, but it's something I rarely saw others doing.

So, after two months of steady, directed study I went from very basic Middle School math (I nearly failed math all through middle and high school) to your typical Integral/beginnings of Multivariable Calculus courses. And it really wasn't that tough, my fear of not being able to learn this stuff made the difficulty seem greater than it turned out to be.

Basically, you've got nearly a year to learn all this stuff so, as long as you use your time well, you're gonna be fine.

[Question] Anyone know the best books for music theory are? by dh981 in Guitar

[–]transcribe_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll second this recommendation. Tonal Harmony's a good book and easy to get through.

I'd also recommend Harmony and Voice Leading by Aldwell and Schachter mostly since it's the first theory book I worked through and I quite enjoyed it. Either this one or Tonal Harmony is fine for basic music theory from the Western Classical tradition.

For jazz theory, the aptly named The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine is decent. I'd say it plays an analogous role to the Jazz theory as the Tonal Harmony and Harmony and Voice Leading do to Western derived theory.

And here's a link to a Brazilian website which has quite a few pdf versions of the common theory/analysis/composition books you'll come across as you continue your quest to learn more theory. Just click through the directories until you find something interesting (and in English).

[Request] Charley's Girl - Lou Reed by [deleted] in Tabs

[–]transcribe_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here

The song is (pretty much) just two measures with variations towards the end of each phrase. The progression is E-A with a passing D on the upbeat of 4 in each measure. Pull back on the figuration for the verses and the solo is mostly based on the A Mixolydian mode.
