Title: [WTB] Transcription of the acoustic version of "Street" by Jamie Woon: 5 BTC Post by: runeks on February 20, 2012, 05:53:45 PM I want to pay 5 BTC for anyone who can transcribe the following song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWJtQUfL_Dc
You can see a lot of the chords pretty clearly from the video, and I've got the first few myself. But I can only 'see' the chords, I can't really listen to a chord and be able to play it. I've only been playing guitar for a little over a year. We'd probably need to do some escrow of some sort, because I would need to verify that it really does match the track (according to my hearing). I need a perfect transcription. Perhaps we can split the 5 BTC into 5/<number of chords in the song> payments, and I pay for each successive chord so that I can verify along the way that it's correct, and so you don't have to show the whole transcription to me before I pay. I can cover the fees for that.

I thought it was odd, that when I tried playing along on some of the notes, to hear, for example, whether he was playing an Am or A, then no matter which note I played, my guitar sounded off pitch (even though I've just tuned it).
This is what I've got so far. I think it's fairly accurate (thanks to good video): Intro/verse: x7578x x5757x x35453 x2423(2) Am Fm 575555(Am7) 8*10*9988(Cmaj) 797977/797877 Chorus: Em F Am7 8*10*9988(Cmaj) 797977/797877 Title: Re: [WTB] Transcription of the acoustic version of "Street" by Jamie Woon: 5 BTC Post by: rjk on February 21, 2012, 04:14:58 AM Can you hear that his guitar is tuned sharper? Totally. I opened the link in a new tab without looking at it, and as it started playing I thought - mandolin? and then I switched tabs and saw it was a full size guitar and that he wasn't even using barre chords.Title: Re: [WTB] Transcription of the acoustic version of "Street" by Jamie Woon: 5 BTC Post by: runeks on February 21, 2012, 06:11:48 PM I guess I need more practice in order to hear things like that. I can only hear relative to other notes right now it seems.
Well since both of you seem to know a thing or two about music, could you take a look at these chords and say if you think they match. I have a revised edition here: Intro/verse: x7578x x5757x Cmaj7(x35453) B7(x24232) Em F Am7(575555) C(8*10*9988) B7sus4(797977)/B7(797877) Chorus: Em F Am7 C B7sus4/B7 Sounds pretty accurate to me. I'm most in doubt about the Cmaj7 followed by the B7 in the verse/intro - if that's correct. |
