  1. Here is another ear-transcribed score from Halo 5: Guardians. (I have a handful of ear transcriptions I did, specifically for the Halo series of games... simply because Kazuma Jinnouchi, Neil Davidge, Martin O'Donnell, and Michael Salvatori are all just simply wonderful composers who I admire and respect greatly...) Audio referenced for transcription, here. blueteam.pdfBlueteam.mp3
  2. I transcribed many scores, so far, but wanted to share this one. I tend to do these to increase my level of understanding of how some of my favorite composers write their music. I'm certain it isn't 1-to-1 original, since this was done simply by ear, listening and trying to write in all the parts that I could physically hear in the audio... I take no credit for the composition itself, only for the ear transcription written out for it. The piece is owned by Microsoft Studios, and composed by Kazuma Jinnouchi. Original Track Audio Referenced, Here. How close did I get? :)Light is Green.pdf35131202.mp3

  4. I am transcribing a piano "sketch" that I wrote out - it will eventually be used as the harp part of a flute and harp piece I am writing. I am mainly struggling with getting some of the inner voice movements and the turnaround figure written out accurately. The progression is pretty simple, it's just: I-iii7-IV-iv-I-viio7/ii-V7/V-V-I (4-3) It would be greatly appreciated if I could get some guidance/help - I already have most of it written, it's just those two sections that are stumping me. * I also switch the viio7/ii for a V7/ii the second time through.
  5. Is anyone good at transcribing pop songs? All parts? Drums, bass, guitar, piano, vocal etc? Please let me know ASAP!!
