Proter, I don't think those are exactly right. It's the general idea, and the right key, but it's not quite how the song is played.

Particulary the bridge. There are a lot more changes there than just F#m7 and C#m7. Also there are some transitions between verses that are not even included.

Those will give you the general idea though.

I'll send the MIDI file to Porter tonight when I get home from work. Please bear in mind that it isn't complete yet, but it shouldn't take too much more work to finish it off.
I have not even had time to breath lately so I have made no attempt yet.

I can relate to you there Bill, :) I was gardening most of Saturday and Sunday. In the suburb where I live, the term gardening usually means swinging a pickaxe! We live on very rocky/gravelly soil.
I did a refresh listen to the song and it is an excellent and challenging choice.

It sure is! My vocal range is limited to around 1-1/2 notes :D So Reminiscing is well outside of my vocal abilities...
BTW Did you master that C13#11? I did.

Well, thinking of it this way:
C13#11 = C E G Bb D F# A

There are clearly too many notes for a 6-string guitar. I seem to recall the accepted practice is to drop the 5th (G) or indeed omit the 9th (D) or 11th (F), however since the #11 is specifically part of the chord, I had to work out the easiest shape for my limited hand-span. Also the remaining notes must relate to the preceeding and successive chords.

It is for this reason that I've decided to let you play that chord Bill :)

When I eventually lay down my rhythm guitar track, I'll stop and yell: "Over to you Bill" at the appropriate moment.

I don't know if you guys know this, but there is a particular chord known as the Hendrix Chord. It's a 7th#9.

E7#9 = 022133

Henceforth, the 13#11 will be known as the Faraoni Chord :D

Anyone know if there a way I can generate tablature using the midi track?

Dachay, I know there is a Fretboard View in PA9, has this carried over to Sonar? (I haven't checked HS - I'm at work at the moment).

You could possibly use that in lieu of Tablature. Be aware though that you will have to closely monitor the default fret/finger positionings in FBV. I seem to recall some pretty spectacular stretches if you leave it to its own devices. :)

Bluesman - yeah, the fretboard still exists in Sonar. And you're right, it does generate a few pretty neat stretches. :D

I sent Porter the midi file of the scratch track. I mainly wanted to see that the transfer worked ok. We still need to wait for Jagular to vote on this one.

Ain't that the chord from Foxy Lady??
 
What are the options of using already created MIDI tracks for these songs then working our own version?

Apparently so, and doubtless used elsewhere throughout his repertoire.

One of my oft-used chords is a variation on the Hendrix Chord. It's basically the Hendrix Minor:

Am7#9 = 688699

Because it's a barre chord, it can be slid to any position on the fretboard. The bold note is the root.

I think we should name it the Umbilical Chord :)

The Chord E7+9 (to write it precisely, because it is an E7 plus an added 9;) :p ) is an amazing blues and soul chord, beloved of many a funk band. Brings back so many memories, just that one chord.:rolleyes:

Bluesmeister

If you can play the dreaded Hendrix minor chord up the neck as a barre chord without looking at your fretboard, to see where you place your pinkies, you can make it as a geetar pro:D Which is much more than I ever could "we know Paul, we've heard your playing"

Bastards:D

BTW, I still get an occasional cold boot failure even with Bios 1006:(
 
OK, I've updated the website - Cakewalkers

All we need to do now is work out who is playing/recording what...

Let me know and I'll update the page...

Should also mention I've added in a majority of the links in the Useful Links page into the Links page of the site.

I've played that in the open postion (Em7+9) but never tried the bar version. Looks tough. :) What fingers do you use for the 88? Is it 2&3, or done with just one finger?

BTW, I think the open version is used in I'm A Man by Spencer Davis.

I guess that's an option - although my personal choice would be to use instruments for everything. However, if no one steps forward for certain parts, MIDI certainly becomes an alternative.

Did you get the MIDI file OK? Could you open it and play it?
 
Mike, it would be one finger for the barre, two fingers for the 88 and your little pinkie for the 99.

What you do with your "other" pinkie is up to you. Or Blow up Betty:p :D

Has anyone posted any midi/mp3 yet on the cakewalkers site? I looked and couldn't see anything, so I guess not.

Porter has the midi file for BPOM (at least I'm assuming he does since I sent it to him :) ), but he is holding it in abeyance pending Jagular giving it the thumbs up/thumbs down. I didn't want anyone to put in a lot of time on it, only to find out we weren't gonna do it.

yeah, who cares that I put in a lot of time on it. sniff sniff.


Just kidding. :D <------------- see I'm smiling
 
dachay2tnr,

I got your MIDI file... haven't been able to test it yet... I was up pretty late with the web site, then this morning I got a call from the Hospital (4am) saying that my Grand Mother wouldn't make the morning... she is still with us.. I had planed on testing it this morning. I'll test it tonight... I also got Blues' Reminiscing file. I'll hopefully test them out tonight.

Now.. in regards to using pre-existing MIDI files... I was thinking of using them as a guide. I've got one for Reminiscing that doesn't sound too bad.

But what dachay2tnr said... we are waiting for Jagular to let us know if he can sing it in the key.

Porter
 
Thanks Jag...

How's Biggest Part or Me MP3 file... do we need to change the key of the song.

Porter
 
Ditto on your grandma, Daniel. Hope she pulls through.

Are you speaking of a file that someone else created?? Like a file you picked up on the internet somewhere??

I have no problem in using it for a guide, assuming it has the right parts and right timing. That could have saved Bluesmeister a lot of trouble. :D
 
Flipping Heck...

Woah,

A lot of ground to cover here...

Paul
Yes E7+9 is absolutely correct for naming the Hendrix Chord - I think the term 'add' would only be used if the 7th wasn't flattened:

E add9 = E G# B F#

Cold Boot Issue: I think I may have had one the other night. I switched on and... nothing. Just the monitor with a message No Sync Signal. I hit the reset button and it fired up fine. It's an irritation, but hardly worth tearing my hair out!

Did you upgrade your PS to 400W?

Dachay
I play the Hendrix Minor by barring with my index finger. I use my middle finger to hold down the 88 and my pinky to hold down the 99.

My little finger is aptly named. It's also alarmingly bent as a result of a chilhood indiscretion. :) In addition I have fairly deep webs on my fingers, so my span is very limited. I can swim well though. :)

Another of my over-used chords is a 6/9 (oo err):

xx2233

It's another slidable chord, the bold note is the root. Like many other chords, it could have several names: Bill or George, or any damn thing but Sue...

I'm not really familiar with the tune Best Part Of Me so I'll D/L the MIDI and lend an ear.

My MIDI file of Reminiscing is my best attempt at transposing the song from the original recording, but if you have a better MIDI file of it I'll have a listen.

Porter
Sorry mate, that's not the sort of news you want to hear. I think we all dread the midnight phonecall.
