Playing the song in D# would be difficult due to fingering - it’s not just a power chord (5th) but two notes in an octave moving up and down, meaning that it would be inpractical to use D#. We now know we are not in E standard territory. However Consummation, another track from the same album, has the lowest note of D#. Technically, it is playable in E standard. If there are no videos from concerts, then we have to do it the hard way - compare the material (I would suggest listening to the whole album thoroughly) and look for the lowest note played.Įxample - my last cover, Akhlys’s Breath and Levitation, has the lowest note of F# - the same as 2nd fret on E string in standard tuning. Watching live gigs of the band you are transcribing is very useful in this regard, as it gives you a visual cue (it’s also useful in transcribing in general - to an extent, more on that later). The first thing you want to do, is to find out the tuning. Sorry, I forgot to mention the most important thing (for me).Īs it happened, I have been learning songs that there are no tabs whatsoever for - not even incorrect ones (see my Akhlys related posts for further info). Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and keep moving forward.

It seems like the common denominator for people who get good is trial and error, and lots of practice with transcribing, either through writing notation or playing the instrument directly (probably a bit of both).
So I’m sure my process is not the most typical one for players who are copping licks off records since records became a thing. You might find the auto-harmonic analysis useful to provide hints to the chord progression - but it’s not 100% accurate and sometimes chord changes are subjective.
I’ve used Capo in the past, for analyzing a recording and looping/slowing down sections - but I don’t find as much of a need for it now. I also like having the other aural guideposts like the bass and drums to anchor what the guitar part is doing harmonically and rhythmically. I just use the recorded mix, it’s very rare that a studio recording has a guitar part that is unclear to transcribe. I like that the workspace and the finished product are the same thing basically, and it has 95% of the features I need in transcribing guitar techniques and syncing to audio/video recording. Sometimes I’m using visual feedback from the video performance - but that’s mostly for confirming my best estimate about positioning and certain playing techniques.Īs far as tools I’m using, mostly just Soundslice these days. I’m just relying on aural feedback from the notation software. I almost never have an instrument in hand when transcribing. I listen to the recording a lot, loop the tricky parts, and picture how I would be playing it if I were Yngwie or something. My process for transcribing is mostly based on listening and visualization. But typically, if it feels impossible, it’s probably not correct. I know there are some that go out of their way to challenge themselves. I have to constantly remind myself that for the most part, the greats play things that feel ‘natural’ to them. You could have the pitches all correct, but if you don’t have the notes in the proper fret location you could very well be wasting your time trying to play something that’s nearly unplayable.
If you consider the groundbreaking discoveries of CtC, where notes are fretted are critical because it jives with the picking escape plan the guitarist is using. Regarding doing it without a guitar, I’d say it depends on your goal. I’m sure there are way better tools now, but something like that will help in identifying pitches. It also had a crappy eq feature that would roll off the bass, which helped when transcribing solos. This was great for figuring rhythm guitars as they are typically panned hard right and left. I had a rather crude setup, but I did have a unit that allowed removing of the center channel. Doing things a lot tends to make people good at it, so I think I was at least “proficient” by the end of it.

The method I used was having people bring in anything they liked and I’d show them how to play it.

I’m not at the level of any of those 3 but I’ve done tons of transcribing as I used to be a guitar teacher full time for a little over 10 years. Don’t forget about he’s done some amazing work too. I know and the mighty are members here.Īwesome transcribers.
