PaulWarning Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 [quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1361097133' post='1980891'] Get the pacemaker plugin for winamp. Ive used it to transcribe a few songs. You can slow speed without altering pitch. Its also great for turning slow rock into speed metal [url="http://www.surina.net/pacemaker/"]http://www.surina.net/pacemaker/[/url] [/quote] I use audacity, free and really useful for all sorts of things as well as slowing down and transposing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samashton12 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1361202401' post='1982662'] I'm absolutely terrible at working out notes anyway, especially when they are all bunched together like that. The best i could do is find the key, and kind of make it up as i go along. [/quote] I'd like to know what scale this actually uses.. Be much easier then aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Seems to be in the key of B Major with a flattened 7th. Maybe not, i'm not too great with theory either. But that's assuming your tabs are correct Edited February 18, 2013 by MiltyG565 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltyG565 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just remember to really dig into the seventh fret to flatten it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The secret to working things out is to 1) slow it down (as I did for you) and 2) loop the recording on a just a few notes until you can hum/sing/whistle them and only then try and play that bit.

Roland Rock Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 My ears tell me that the main riff is in Em7 and the ascending part you've asked about is in Bm7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle psychosis Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 When working out things like this I use audacity and do the following: 1. Slow it down significantly 2. Use the pitch shift and put the whole thing up an octave. This makes the bass line really `jump out' of the mix at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah thats a good tip as well. the ear is better at pitch determination in a higher register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it sounded like I was having a dig. [/quote] You didn't Don't worry. The way i work it out is by looking at the notes, then working out what the possible key signature is. The thing is, when you look at the notes, It starts on a B (which is normally a good indicator) and then there is a lot of D# E hammer ons and pull offs which just back up that it's in the key of B in some form. The only thing that would throw me off is that at the end of a scale, the last interval is normally a semi-tone, but here it is a whole tone, which lead me to B major with a flattened seventh. I don't know how they worked out it was actually a B minor flattened seventh. Maybe they just heard the minor key in the song, but i never listened to the song after the tabs.
