Does anyone happen to have the sheet music for Lou Reeds Perfect Day? I'm trying to write it down, and I'm well on my way.. I don't want the sheet music; I want to try to finish it myself, but I'd like to know if I'm actually on the right path. In other words, I'd be much obliged if someone happened to have the sheet music and wouldn't mind comparing my version with the "official" one. |

No. I hope this helps. |
||||||||
|

also, this is the first song I'm trying to write down as notes; I've never had any training at neither hearing nor writing, which is why I chose such an easy song. Just in case anyone's wondering. |

yep. That rules out one and leaves 4638. |

Lou Reed just played here about three nights ago, I should have shot him when I had the chance. I think I only like 2-3 of his songs, maybe. |

Thats what you think Is it what you feel? |

yeah, he's got lots of bullshit going on, but I just want a nice and easy song so that I can get better at stuff like this.. originally I was just going to listen through and try to play it, but I figured it'd be even better if I tried writing it down so that I got some skill in that too... |
||||||||
|

But is it that difficult? It's just listening and comparing. Even tho i don't know THAT much about music theory, i could probably nail it down. |
||||||||

well, first off it can be hard telling just which chord is being played of even if it actually is a chord or just resonance. secondly, since the song is 6/8, it's just slightly more challenging than straight up 4/4 notation. Third, if you don't know notes, you'd probably have a bit of a hassle even with something as easy as this. |

Well, i just figured, compared to the quality music you produce, this should be easy peasy. |

haha, thanks, I guess, but it's different when you do it backwards. When I make music, I know which note is which. When I'm listening to a song (I don't have perfect pitch), I have no idea if it is an A or an Eb or whatever, so I need to use the piano, but even then it can be hard to hear if the thing being played is a straight up F chord or if it's only playing the two upper notes while the bass is doing the F or if there's any other configuration of the notes.. there are also.. I don't know the english terminology, but I'd call it overtones.. like, when you play a C on your piano, it has overtones of the C and F one octave above it and many more notes after that. When you play a chord, even more overtones are created in the harmony between the notes in the chord, etc etc. There's also trouble if the song isn't very well mixed or if it's an mp3 and shit like that... |

Ah... then i know what you're talking about. Overtoner. I remember that from piano lessons. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
exactly! |

I would even say, oftentimes, it's there the magic is made |

I also never had piano lessons... I've had no musical training whatsoever. I taught myself how to play the piano somewhat and I taught myself how to read sheet music. |

Piano lessons is all about learning shit other people wrote. There's about 5% worth your while, then it's up to you. I felt i was fed up by it, so i moved on. This day, i forgot all the tunes i learned. I can play chords to bob dyland, and clumsily play "axel foley theme". Be happy you didnt spend money on it, i'm certain youre more qualified than most in music making (well, your music speaks for itself) |
||||||||

|
|
well, much of what you're learning isn't playing the stuff other people wrote, but the techniques. I'm probably limited by my poor technique when it comes to playing... |
||||||||

Well, finger positioning and all that was pretty usefull i guess. But after lessons i got back to my sequencer and thought "why?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because most stuff sounds better with a human touch |
||||||||
|
|

Just add some shuffle, and make the notes randomly lover and higher, it's the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
computed error? I think not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, i can imagine thats why i'm so fond of vocals in music. It just gives it that human edge, even if it's the most strict electronic music. |
