J'attendrai Solo Transcription

paulmcevoy75

Hello all

I've been working on this hopefully note for note and stroke by stroke transcription of the solo from the J'attendrai video. I haven't seen a ton of others to compare it to. If anyone is interested in proofreading it for me and seeing if there are errors I'd appreciate the help. I think I have most if not of all of it buy who knows. The camera dips away for frustratingly long periods of time so I just filled in the parts based on the the parts where you can see what he's doing.

I definitely learned a lot about Django's playing through this. Picking is clearly a downstroke on every string change plus more downstrokes, plus some downstrokes :)

Anyway, it's attached, let me know if you have any comments.

Sorry Paul but it's a standard music notation and I'm afraid Michael and Dennis are too busy these days.

Gilles Rea transcribed this video on his Soundslice channel (the Django accompaniment part): https://www.soundslice.com/slices/TYTcc/

Denis Chang transcribed the Grappelli violin part here: https://www.soundslice.com/slices/fV8Vc/

And I've started a transcription of the Django solo: https://www.soundslice.com/slices/tN3Nc/

It's much nicer to make a Soundslice version than a PDF, because the former lets you hear the original audio synced. That makes it easier to learn from and, for the transcriber, tends to highlight errors in the transcription (especially with note durations/timing).

I confess I much prefer a pdf that I can print, save, mark up, put away, look back on again, email to someone and make easily available online. But thanks for the links.
