Does anyone have the My Best music sheet or better yet, a tutorial vid? :D
-
nope ...no one has made the sheet music yet :(
-
I've been trying to work on it...and I think the intro goes like this:
Left hand (LH) uses three chords (one of them repeated once)
Chord 1 (LH): Eb, G, Bb
Chord 2 (LH): Eb, Ab, C
Chord 3 (LH): Ab, C, Eb
Chord 4 (LH): Eb, G, Bb [this is the first one repeated]
{^^ You also use those for the verse, I believe.}
With the right hand, you're just playing one note each going up & then back down when necessary (you'll know what I mean if you've heard the song)...
RH: Bb, Eb, C, Eb, Ab, C, Bb
Then you have the *du-du-du-du-du* that's a little faster, if you know what I mean...Those notes are:
G, Ab, G, F, Eb
Okay....
I think I have the chorus too...
The right hand notes are:
RH: G, F, Bb, Eb
You go from the 'G', down to the 'F' below it, and then up to the Bb and back down to the Eb...If you hear Vanessa's intro when she plays it live, you'll understand how that goes.
For the left hand, I just use those same notes but in an octave and just go around that really...
For the end part that she plays on the Rhodes, it goes like this (I think)
RH: G, Eb...Ab, Eb...Ab, Eb, G, Eb...
So you play the 'G' then go down to 'Eb', then move up to the 'Ab' and down to the 'Eb' again, then play those notes again, then repeat the first lot.
Then you have the *du-du-du-du-du* part
Ab, Ab, G, F, Eb
The left hand, you just play:
For the RH 'G, Eb' part...
LH: Eb G - you just keep going back and forth with that (e.g. Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb, G)
For the RH 'Ab, Eb' part:
LH: Eb, Ab - you just keep going back and forth with that (e.g. Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab)
Then you finish with the Eb chord (Eb, G, Bb)
I hope all of that makes sense? And I know some parts will be incorrect, but I think it's kinda accurate in some parts...
-
Thanks, I'll have to try that.
-
thanks ill try it out later.
-
Thanks ! I tried it and didn't really get the whole song.
so..if someone has the time can you do a tutorial please?
(:
-
Did you understand any of it? I'll try and make it a little clearer.
I'd do a tutorial, but I have no video camera. Ugh.
-
yaeh I did understand something but not the most of it.
umm..mabey a web camera or something?
or u can borrow it, i dunno.
thanks anyways (: .
-
I'll have a try tomorrow.
I didn't post the whole song, just various parts. I'll try and break it up so it's easier to read...
LH = Left hand
RH = Right hand
VERSE 1
We scream
LH: Eb, G, Bb [press these down together]
RH: Bb
And shout
LH: Eb, Ab, C [press these down together]
RH: C
And try to make it
LH: Ab, C, Eb [press these down together]
RH: Eb
Last...
LH: Eb, G, Bb [press these down together]
RH: Bb
Then there's that little part after "last" but before "though it"
RH: G, Ab, G, F, Eb
^^ You go from G up to Ab, then back down to G, down to F, down to Eb
You repeat that same process for the rest of the verse...
CHORUS:
The right hand notes are:
RH: G, F, Bb, Eb
You go from the 'G', down to the 'F' below it, and then up to the Bb and back down to the Eb...If you hear Vanessa's intro when she plays it live, you'll understand how that goes.
Not sure about the left hand...
OUTRO ON THE RHODES
For the end part that she plays on the Rhodes, it goes like this (I think)
LH: Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb G
RH: G............Eb
LH: Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab
RH: Ab.............Eb
LH: Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab
RH: Ab.............Eb
LH: Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb G
RH: G.............G, Ab, G, F, Eb
LH: Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb, G, Eb G
RH: G............Eb
LH: Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab
RH: Ab.............Eb
LH: Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab
RH: Ab.............Eb...............Ab G
Then with the left hand, you finish with the Eb chord (Eb, G, Bb)
Is that easier to understand?
-
yeah this is way easier, thank you (: !
-
Okay, cool! :D
-

does anyone did the sheets ? :) I need to be able to play it
-
in the very beginning i figured some out...
it goes in this order mentioned...
Bb, Eb, C, Eb, Ab, Eb, Bb, G, Ab, G, F, Eb, Bb and then repeat except don't do it with G, Ab, F, Eb, Bb...
but i totally just realized that someone figurd it out and i wasted like 10 minutes of my life figuring it out... hahahahaha
-
If I knew how to write it to sheetmusic, I would.
It's pretty simple to play and is repetative.

Have you ever tried to use Finale NotePad? If not, you can download it here: http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/. It's free, and pretty easy to use. Actually, it's really easy to use. You seriously just point and click where you want the notes to be. The only real downside is that the free version doesn't create image files out of the sheets for you, so anyone else wanting to view or print the sheet music would have to be using NotePad too. But like I said, it's free and easy to use.

to make an instant pdf file out of any printable document, just download Primo pdf, really useful. http://www.primopdf.com/primopdf_free_idx.aspx

ohh okay, i'll definetley try that later on for you guys.
-
i'm doing it now, but my god - it's awful. i don't have a clue about measures and all that caper, so really just look at the notes with the song in your head, lol.
-
i'm really sorry. if someone wants to learn and write this out properley, that'd be great. because i'm doing a crap job.
there's the intro:

OMG THANK YOU HAZYEYES! i have wanted to play this forever, and seeing it written out like that helps so much!!! wheres the chorus and such?
-
i'm just doing it now.
i haven't a clue about measures and such, so as long as you know where the notes are you should be fine, lol.

i think you can use what i've put up to figure the rest of the song out, because it's just basically those repeated for verse 2, the chorus, etc.
sorry it's not all together and isn't very good, but i think if you can read the notes and know the tune of the song & how it goes, you'll be good to go.
if someone like Maag wants to work on it and make it all into one and write it properley, then that'd be cool.
-
omg, you are my hero! thanks for this!
-
Oh my goodness, thanks so much! That really helps!
-
Glad it could be of some use to you guys.
