I reckon you're right... because he could. and probably time commitments of the players invoved most likely. wonder why he didnt ask me? Im quite cheap.

2. When listening to the albums the songs came from I was struck by the amount of 'filler' on there. For every rock classic there was at least 3 rather predictable and tedious blues workouts that did absolutely nothing for me. Even bands like The Who, who had always struck me as making their own unique way through the 60s and 70s had a tendency to slip into the clichés of the time when they weren't writing hits. damn right, now you mention it !!

I tend to think you should get as close to the original as is possible, maybe its just my paranoia/pride but I can't be doing with the thought that someone out there is thinking.... "he didn't do that right because he cant" could just be undiagnosed OCD though

[quote name='XB26354' post='594581' date='Sep 10 2009, 10:29 AM']Thanks Bilbo for a great transcription of a great tune. Chords: Bar 1 is F13 (listen to the keys). Bar 8 - underlying harmony suggests a minor II-V so Em7b5 - A7b13 going into Dm9-G13 in bar 9. A lot of II-V's in this tune move as min9-dominant 13. Bars 11-12 should be Cmaj7 / F7 / Em7b5 / A7b13 (the b13 is hinted at by the guitar but is consistent with the harmony). Bar 18 - chord symbol needs to be Gb or see the next point below about enharmonics. Bars 23, 24, 34, 38, 56, 61, 62, 72, and 76 - either the chord needs to read Gb or the notes should be changed eharmonically to match the existing root of the chord symbol. In addition these chords sound like tritone moves from the root C7 leading into the F7/(9) and don't sound like aug7 chords - perhaps the #5 would be better written as a b13? Bars 20 and 58 - I hear this as a min7b5. Bar 45 is Em7b5. Bar 74 is Bb7(9?). Bars 91-92 - there is a common high C for all but the last chord then it's unlikely that they're all straight 7 chords. Perhaps - Gb7#11, F7, E7b13, Eb13, D7, then Dbmaj7, leading into... Last chord's a CMaj7#11 (top note of the chord on the keys). The above are my best guesses and of course could be wrong! I also remember that transcription in Bassist years ago, which as I vaguely remember was also very good. The weird thing about this tune is that I can hardly hear Will Lee's bass as it is so locked in with the doubled keyboard line. For a long time I though it was just keyboard. As a general note Lucas Pickford's website has transcriptions for Green Flower Street, The New Frontier and The Nightfly, which apart from a few glaring mistakes are pretty good. Got to www.lucaspickford.com and have a look at all the other great tunes - most done by others but he obviously has "ear chops" for days! I'm not up to much today so I'm going to tackle IGY and Ruby Baby and stick them up here if anyone's interested. Cheers Mat[/quote] yes I'm interested Mat...or should I say...BRAINS FROM TRACY ISLAND!!!!! dan. dan. dan. dan.dan.dan.darrrrrrr!!!!!!
