sheet music thread!!!

[this end up]

i am starting a thread for those of us who play musical instrunments. if you are searching for sheet music for a specific song and hopefully someone will have that song.

i am a pianist and i am looking for billy joel sheet music.

[Cousin Itt]

The best thing to do would be to just buy a music book that has the songs you want.

I play piano and the drums.

Here is a link to some billy joel music. www.sheetmusicplus.com has alot of sheet music. I ordered some drum music for the band Rush a few months ago and it shipped really fast.

Me too, although I don't really play the piano anymore.

I'll attach my attempts at transcribing the keys intro to "Roses", and the first minute of the drumming to "Rapunzel" by Dave Matthews Band. I also have the drum intro to "Squib Cakes" by Tower of Power, and "The Joy of Cookin'" by Quincy Jones.

A pen. :)

I played it in The Core Media Player (my player of choice) which lets you play it at half the tempo...then again, and again, and many more times...

If you want to transscribe things yourself there's a good tool at http://www.seventhstring.com.

I think
Choral Public Domain Library (http://cpdl.org) has som non-choral sheet music, but you probably won't find anything by Billy Joel there.

Also try downloading Finale Notepad from www.finalemusic.com. It lets you just click the notes into the staff in tabs or in treble/bass clef. It also has a variety of instruments to choose from, and you use the playback feature to listen to it.

i already have that. but that only works if you know what notes to play already.

I can play piano (and keyboard), accordian (thx Polish grandma...). I haven't played anything a while, though.

I'm still in the learning phase of the bagpipes. I can now play Morag of Dunvegan, The Green Hills of Tyrol, and most of Scotland the Brave. And you might even recognise it.
I'm on the lookout for the sheetmusic for some slightly unusual tunes for the bagpipes. Including, but not limited to, :

You Never Walk Alone
Fields of Anfield Road
Ring of Fire (Johhny Cash)
Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty)
Baby One More Time (Britney Spears - don't laugh, I lost a bet and have to play the winners choice of tune on the pipes on her birthday next year)

Ideally, I need to find these in bagpipe format (including the gracenotes/embellishments) and not just the generic sheetmusic versions.

You did ask.

I've heard various renditions of this by a few different groups; the version by Travis is fairly well known in the UK and is very amusing, but the best I've heard is the grungey, feedback-filled rock version by My Vitriol; it was an absolute classic, far better than the original.

Done in your own inimitable style it could be very well received indeed... :)

sorry but i have no bagpipe music. did you google it?

[GILD]

sorry but i have no bagpipe music. did you google it?Yeah, the online sheet-music collections for the bagpipes that aren't Amazing Grace are pretty slim.
I might have to figure out how to do it myself.
That could be scary.

the best I've heard is the grungey, feedback-filled rock version by My Vitriol; it was an absolute classic, far better than the original.On a similar note, Ben Gibbard's version of 'Complicated' was pretty kewl.
Avril's also done a version of Baby One More Time.
Incestuous little industry, isn't it?

Done in your own inimitable style it could be very well received indeed... :) I'm thinking of doing it really slowly. Pipers talk about a Slow Air. Almost like a lament.
