Note, there is one measure of 3/8. The bass note for that measure would be a dotted quarter, still with the stem. And the stem directions would need to be corrected on other notes as well.

Then the OP will have an AGF-approved model to give to his tattoo artist. Let me know. |

This is what I've come up with thus far. What does everyone think? There are some errors, but I obviously intend to proofread the final version.
@ Guitar Slim II, I noticed in the 3/8 bar, there isn't actually a bass note. Am I correct that no dotted quarter note need be used? Also, please do post your version. Don't let my latest mockup stop you. I want all the help I can get. |

Actually, I'm listening to it again and see the e from the previous bar is sustained through the 3/8 bar but stops abruptly with the last staccato note in that bar. How would this be notated? I also forgot the staccato for the last note.
Also, if anyone's curious, I intend to have it tattooed to look like it was hand written. I didn't want it to look like it was printed and perfectly uniform. My only requirement is that the staff be perfectly straight, but everything else should look free hand. I'm bringing the artist a few examples I found online. Doing it this way also allows me to put on weight (or muscle ) and not noticeably distort the already imperfect lines. Sigh. I have more revisions to make. I'm seeing I added notes just assuming the outro was played like the intro, but I'm realizing it isn't. So ignore a couple b notes I put in there that don't belong.

Whoa, that's awesome. You have a much better "hand" than I do!
I can't speak to the accuracy of the notes or articulations (staccato marks). But the formatting looks much better. The second group of each measure should also have stems up. In fact, everything but the bass notes should be stems up. I know the rule is: above the middle line, stems down; below the middle line, stems up. But that only applies to single lines and vertical chords. When you have more than one "line" on the staff - bass and whatever - then it gets reversed: all bass stems are down, and all treble stems are up. So, stems up on everything that's not bass. Correct the dotted quarter to a dotted half. The 3/8 measure? If the note sustains but is not actually played, then use a tie. In other words, tie the previous dotted half to a dotted quarter in the 3/8 measure. This tells the performer not to pluck it, but to let it continue to ring for that duration. I think that's it. I offered above to do this in Finale, but I think you've got it covered. I'll eyeball it again if you want, if you make more corrections.

Oh gosh, almost forgot. You don't need to stem the bass notes UP if there is a simultaneous note in the treble. Sometimes you see it any way, for a more consistent look.
But the real reason you stem up is to avoid writing rests above every bass note. If there's already a note there, it's a moot point. So, you can theoretically just write the bass note stem-down, and NOT connect it with the beamed note above -- that is, if there IS a note above. If no note above, stem up as well as down Either way is acceptable, call it an artistic decision on your part. |

Good questions. The default for 6/8 is 2 groups of 3. Leave them beamed that way. Stems up go to the right of the note, the note head is on the left. It's consistent every time.

I agree with Guitar Slim II & mistertomlinson on the notation fixes.
But, I wouldn't connect the bass notes to the treble in a guitar piece. And that last bar probably warrants an eighth rest on beat 1 of the treble.

Yup, like that look better. Last bar could go either way, a rest would be quite proper in the situation. Generally, you Would connect to the beam on a repetitive pattern, where you have to put rests measure after measure after measure. If there’s just one, a rest is probably preferable.

I love you guys. I’m away from home right now but I’m gonna do another mock-up today and post anymore questions I might have. Then I’m planning to talk to the artist Friday night for consultation, just to make sure he understands what I want. Then, if all goes well, I’ll be getting it done next Friday.
I really appreciate every... single... contribution you guys have made. |

Just want to acknowledge what mistertomlinson said earlier, Jon did the work here and deserves most of the thanks. And DupleMeter, for his contribution. By the way, what software did you use? Finale? Sibeleus?
All I did was nit-pick the score. Scoring is a bit of a craft all it's own, and my comments and corrections were certainly not a criticism of the work done by others. Again, Jon deserves the real thanks here... And it's really special to be involved in this project even in a small way. I don't have any tattoos, but if I ever heard of a great reason to get one ... and a cool one to get ... this is it. Of course, it's not my skin, is it?

I have no tattoos either. Thats just a sign of my inability to commit to anything. Typical guy, right? If I did have a musical tattoo, it would be this: As it is, I can't even get round to putting it on a t-shirt... (Of course I would put ©JonPR on it too.... As long as no one else has copyrighted silence, I should make a fortune.... John Cage only owns 4'33" of it.)
