Could anyone transcribe Shannon Thomas' "Don't Be Beautiful"? I'd appreciate it very much.


I was going to ask this.

This is a very beautiful song :)


It is quite beautiful.

I haven't played through the entire song (Annie) that's in the official book, (busy!) but it seems okay... except personally I would play the two-handed intro riff in place of what is written for the verses... as for what Vanessa actually plays I'm not sure


Just watched a live video of Annie, and I'm pretty sure I was right about that. So just use the book.

I'm sooo glad that Maag posted 'Superhero', b/c I felt that there were mistakes in the first transcribsion. I really listened to the song [the a cappella version] when I noticed. It was gonna be my next song, but I realized that there were mistakes in the Lucy's version. It will officially be the next song I learn now that it's put up. It's one of my favorites by Van b/c it has such a pretty melody and vocal arrangement.  :D

As for ATM, I only printed out one page and learned the rest of the song by ear, to be honest. Since I've heard the song a million times for 3 years, it was pretty easy to do. Since I didn't know what the exact notes were by the time Van sang, 'If I could fall, into the sky...', I made up my own melody, changed the notes, and have no intentions of changing it. It took 2 weeks to have the song by ear.

^i see, i learned white houses by ear.....but i can't get the bridge. As for ATM, i have to start looking for a version of the song with only Vanessa and her piano are in it....i know there should be alot of those, i just haven't had the time to look.

Yes, there are: There are versions in C, versions in B, versions where she plays a simpler piano part, and versions where she plays fill-in for the orchestra part that's heard on the record.  She usually tends to play the song in C live, though the record (and she sheetmusic version in the book) is clearly in B.

I really don't know why Van plays White Houses In B Major live, b/c B Major [or G#/Ab Minor] is a rather hard key to play in b/c it had 5 sharps. It's the one I have a hard time perfecting, so I prefer it in C Major; but it is easier to sing to, though.

I thought she did usually play it in C live.  It's in B on the album.

No, because if you compare the album version and the live versions, the album version is half a pitch higher than the live versions.

It's either that, or I have hearing problems...
