Sheet Music or transcriptions

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everybody -
New here (obviously) and I'm actually a jazz/fusion aficionado but also like some of the artists/groups shown on this web site. Anyway, I wasn't sure where to post this question...

Would anyone happen to know (if it even exists) where to find the music to Gentle Giant's "Boys in the Band?" While I have an app called "Amazing Slowdowner" that actually slows the music down to "mere mortal levels"  I found that that track has a lot of ambient noise and other instrumentation that makes picking out the notes difficult.

Anyway, nice site! I hope to get a chance to look it over more in detail. Thanks!

	You need to be careful with copyrighted material but I found a site that has a transcription of the bass line for the track Boys in the Band. The page carries a disclaimer that states: All files appear with the kind permission of DRT Entertainment. Use at yer own risk etc http://www.blazemonger.com/GG/Sheet_music Same goes for MIDI files (these are subject to penalties for copyright infringement)

	Hehe. I guess what they mean is play at your own risk. Yeah, I'd seen that and actually downloaded the MIDI file and ran it through a transcriber but got some strange "ghost" notes. So I was hoping there was a more accurate transcript. Thanks!
