Bilbo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Just thought I would post my transcription of the main riff on Phronesis' 'Abraham;s New Gift'. A real tounge-twister. Its a monster riff but, like everything else, playable if you slow it down and work it up to speed (I am at about 70%). Great exercise for string crossing on double bass. It is only two bars long but one is a bar of 3:4 the other 9:8, (or possibly 6:8 and 9:8?). Have fun.

Bilbo Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ps I don't like the format but Sibelius defaults to that and I can't figure out how to stop it doing that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 The way it links the last six 16th notes with one beam. I would want to see it as 2 16th notes and then 4 seperate ones. Coralling them as 6 notes makes it harder to read, IMO. But I can't amke Sibelius stop doing it. The only option would have been to write it as 5 bars of 3:4 which, for me, wasn't how I heard it.

jasp Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hello Guys, What an honour to see my riff here It's a bar of 4/4 and one bar of 7/8! I'm glad you dig it. Jasper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Makes sense! Nice to see you here, Jasper. Welcome and thanks for the music (I was at the Stoke By Nayland gig you did last year). I will re-write the chart when I get a chance. Are the dots right, otherwise? PS I can't play it! Yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
