So my only option is to modify the second voice a little bit. The red framed chord is impossible to play and if you use an arpeggio it sounds strange. In order to play this “second voice” I have to relocate the right-hand melody into left hand but one problem remains, however: My transcriptions always include some “details”, or in other words – melodies which is played in the background.įor example, the very beginning of the piece Esoragoto starts with the voice, a d-major chord played by a guitar… and a very high pitched melody in the background played by a synthesizer.
Usually I make use of additional octaves or thirds. I also vary the melody in the right hand. Usually, my accompaniments adapts original rhythm of the music piece.įor example, here are my six different accompaniments of the d-major chord (in order of appearance) I always use many different accompaniments for the left hand in order to make the sheet more interesting. They are called variation, details, transitionsand original ending. Therefore, I have a four sacred principles I always comply with. But of course I am far from being satisfied yet with this sheet.
Proceed like that with the whole sheet and – congratulations! You have finished a basic sheet of your piece. In this case, it has only basic chords like D-major, G-major, b-minor, A-major and e-minor. Simply listen to the piece and figure out which tone is the bass. So you have to add an upbeat-bar.Īs soon as I have finished the basic melody, I add the chords. Most j-pop music have a typical Cross-rhythm with lots of dotted notes. Then I’ll proceed with writing down the melody. Just make use of your ears if you want to determine key signature etc. But before I start with this, I have to name my sheet and provide some information about the piece like key signature, time signature, and tempo. Most TV-size openings/endings are short (roughly 1-2 minutes), so listen to it at least five times to grasp the basics of the music. To start with the transcription, you naturally have to listen to the music piece you want to transcribe.
