General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / V's most difficult song on piano?

« on: August 16, 2005, 03:30:01 pm »

I think White Houses is hard.  Not the notes.  Just, by the time I get to the bridge, my arms/wrists are KILLING me.  -__-;;;  SO hard to play because of that.  Doesn't help that I have a habit of playing Wanted and then White Houses.  So my wrists are just...owwww...

But yeah, hardest to play, notewise, for me is Papa.  I'm not familiar with the key, plus the rhythm is weird at some parts.  I've got my own version which is slightly off/improvised, but it's REALLY hard to play like her.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Rachel Yamagata comparison... kinda funny.

...  Wow.  You have an AMAZING voice...I love it...  Love it, love it, love it~  It's like...Vanessa but prettier.  Not that Vanessa's is bad, it's just...sometimes not a pretty voice.  It's a good voice, and suits some of her songs, but, especially on the demo tracks, which is what I've been listening to most by her, it's not *that* pretty.  Kind of whiny.  And this is like...her...but a prettier version?  Haha, I'm rambling now, in an attempt to explain what I mean.  Ah well.

Do you have any songs of your own?  I want to hear more~  Haha, I love it.  ^__^

It's weird though...listening to it, it, at some parts, sounds like it *could* be Vanessa, but isn't...

Now do Burden!  Please?  ^__^  Haha, I've been asking for ages but no one seems to want to do it...  Which surprises me since it seems like it would be easier than some other songs.

well, since there's been a lot of transcribtions created up here, [especially courtesy of Phu and Baronessa, whom my sincerest compliments go out to for great sheet music while us impatient VanFans wait for them stupid people (whoever they are) release the Harmonium songbook... (and the idiots didn't even include 'The Wreakage', which is one of my favorite songs on the album, and i'm so brokenhearted about that, and we'll see if they suprise us by including the song in the songbook, but anyway) i was hoping someone could create a transcribtion for 'The Wreakage' [if someone did for 'Little Mary'] and 'Swindler'? i wonder if anyone's up to it? if not, then that's fine.

Wreckage, Little Mary, and Swindler have all been done.  Go to page...21 I believe...maybe 19...one of those has a song directory.  And then look around the pages for Little Mary...it's there, somewhere after the little directory...

The first kana...  Trying to write "Va" right?  You put "U" with '' and the small A...should be FU with '' and then the small A

Considering that the kana is from a mask of an image and not an actual font,
I'm not surpised although its difficult to spot the difference on here either :?

lmao  Yeah I suppose.  ^__~

Yay!  So excited for the book...I want it NOW!  ToT  Not too long...

Awesome! That's going to be worth ordering even if it doesn't have Streets

The Japanese in your sig is wrong.  The first kana...  Trying to write "Va" right?  You put "U" with '' and the small A...should be FU with '' and then the small A

but there's only one problem with your playing; you could've added more 'ooph' or pizzazz to it to make it more intertaining, b/c as a performer, i believe in someone having stage prescence.

...She was showing us a little clip to help us learn it.  She wasn't performing it for us.

Hey there Nessaholics

I just recorded a video of myself playing Papa, if you want to see how to play it. Enjoy! (Sorry it's not great quality, but I figured I'd keep the size small.)

...  =blink=  =blink=  =blink=  Wow.  All I saw were hands moving extremely fast, playing something sounding nearly identical to the original.  Didn't really help me, though it was EXTREMELY amazing...  O_O  x_x  I want to be able to play like that!  ToT

whoever posted [and created] the transcribsion for 'AFTERGLOW' [and for 'WHITE HOUSES'], do you think you could resize the sheet music, b/c i printed it out yesterday, wasting money and 4 sheets of paper, b/c it's much to big for the paper used to print it out. i reduced the size, but got the same results, unfortunately.

Copy and paste it into Microsoft Word and resize it there.  Worked for me.

does anyone has the sheet music to 'Where The Streets Have No Name', and the whole score, even if it's the original by U2? it would be greatly appreciated. if you can't do it up here, then just PM me. :wink:

This thread is more dedicated to songs you can't buy, and therefore are not ripping off the artist.  I am SURE you will be able to find the U2 version for purchasing.
