Transcribing music for a guitar lesson.
Transcribing Blind Blake. This is how I create new guitar lessons. Blake is incredibly complex and his variations make his music fascinating and a joy to master and then to teach. I use a program called the Amazing Slow Downer which enables me to capture literally EVERY note and nuance. I'm going to work on a number of his songs and package them into a lesson called 'Blind Blake, Under The Hood.' I not only want to show students how to play his music but more importantly, how to incorporate his techniques and variations into their own playing.

So, THAT'S how you do it! That's pretty cool... better than writing it out by hand. ASD is a nice program. Thanks.

Nice job! It's Transcribe and Sibelius for me - I've yet to get round to youtube lessons though!

That looks good Jon! In the first set of triplets in the 4th measure, I would suggest indicating a pull-off between the G and E notes.

What I have left off is a tempo marking... (This one dates from a few years back, and it's time I double-checked the whole thing.) I assume you just recorded your screen for that video? It works pretty well, and seems like an easy way to deliver a video lesson.:) |

I did record the screen using QuickTime, but I also use the same program for videoing my lessons, uploading them to Vimeo and then embedding them on my site. |
This is great news. i look forward to your lesson on Blind Blake. I wonder which of his tunes will be a good "entry point" for his stye.....

I typically pull the track into my DAW and loop a 4 or 8 bars at a time and then write them out (in Sibelius). Goes pretty fast for me...but I tend to be able to transcribe quickly.
