[@johns840]

It was probably much harder to transcribe this than it was for Chick to improvise it. Great job!

[@GeometryDashDyno]

Jazzkeyboardist1 Well said

[@petrus7977]

@Jazzkeyboardist1 wtf what?

[@petrus7977]

@Jazzkeyboardist1 no, I ask them doing analogies between music and being in bed with supermodels

[@petrus7977]

@Jazzkeyboardist1 I agree! and some toddlers make the most bizarre analogies too

[@stuartweissman7306]

probably not as hard to play though, at least on guitar... spectacular work

[@zzzut]

Whoever made the transcript is a musical genius.

[@BrinaSun]

the owner of the channel is lol

[@beefyj4597]

This transcribing skill of yours just blows my mind

[@TimothyGondola]

A gift but developed skill, thank you, I appreciate it :D

[@niccolo_paganini]

@@TimothyGondola Do you have absolute pitch?

[@TimothyGondola]

No actually, but I do have relative pitch. I feel like my subconscious has perfect pitch, because when I shut my mind off my fingers can accurately reproduce any note and even chords I hear, on the first try, but when I consciously try to reproduce a note, I usually miss...

[@gaelenmckee6400]

@@TimothyGondola I've had the same thing happen a few times, but rarely. I always assumed it was just subconscious relative pitch and I somehow had a reference note from somewhere whose pitch I knew. Whatever it is it's very gratifying

[@hassansoliman970]

@@TimothyGondola Is it "either I have or I dont" kind of thing or can it be developed?

[@templarexemplar35]

Holy shit... Someone actually transcribed this

[@justice_was_taken]

Templar Exemplar yeah fr. When I first heard this version I thought, chick is just trolling us. He had to be thinking "you guys think you know my song? Well fuck you, you don't know my song better than I know my song" then busted this out

[@ErikCPianoman]

You guys that transcribe this kind of stuff by ear always amaze me. Thanks for sharing.

[@robbes7rh]

You captured it perfectly. Reading it and following along with the recording was a breeze.

[@hansdumbf7608]

more like a tornado...

[@robbes7rh]

Hans Dampf - right, Chick certainly was not at a loss for musical ideas. What I was meaning to say is that the transcription itself is written out with everything clearly marked so that it can be read with relative ease. Playing it may be a different matter depending on one’s dexterity with the instrument.

[@hansdumbf7608]

@@robbes7rh ok sure... and what i meant was that i could not follow the transcription, while hearing this version of the song for the first time, with "ease"... if you can do that for a highly complex, fast played piece of music, nice for you! but i can't. that's why it felt like being in a tornado to me.

[@robbes7rh]

Hans Dampf - Reading music is a little daunting, but you’ll get there just by doing a lot of reading. Try reading a score away from the instrument concentrating first on the rhythms, and then connecting the notes visually to a keyboard in your minds eye. Slow and tedious at first, fluency comes almost imperceptibly, but surely. A book with a title like “How to Read Music” can help to break it all down.

[@youtubewatcher1555]

Sure does, think makes it more enjoyable too and more appreciative of jazz as it's another experience hearing without the sheet, especially as I play classical.

[@TimothyGondola]

Thanks for the love and support guys, glad you're enjoying this transcription! If you didn't know, I transcribe professionally too, not just for fun. If you have some music you'd like transcribed, you can always personally commission a transcription here: timothygondola.com/contact 🎹 🎹 🎹

[@laurant4282]

How do I learn to transcribe music, - do i simply keep trying to transcribe the songs I like until i just begin to get used to it.

[@TimothyGondola]

​@@laurant4282 Just like Maxwell said, start with simple single-line solos, and slowly work up to more complex solos. Also, being a proficient musician in the instrument you're transcribing plays a very big part in being able to transcribe. Just by becoming a better pianist, you set yourself up to be a better transcriber.

[@TheFlamingPiano]

Amazing how you were able to transcribe all those tuplets and somehow fit them together, and even count the measures!

[@cungpao81]

We've all been so lucky to have had Chick's music in our lives. Music was changed for the better through his imagination. Absolute titan

[@jakemf1]

Man to get those rhythms-wow

[@Blondesax]

This is unbelievable. And yet, I believe it. Crazy. Ridiculous. Amazing!

[@bm8584]

Great job transcribing this piece. Salutations from Spain

[@superduperjoi6800]

So good a computer couldnt even do it . A human had to.

[@thegreenmanalishiyamadori371]

Computer does nothing without human😁😁😁

[@pkos91]

Is that a challenge? :P Look up David Cope if you want to see what computers are really capable of -- it's a fascinating niche of music!

[@johnjames98]

Great transcription. Just heard about his passing, what a giant of a musical man!

[@RegularVideo]

Superb job!!! This must've been so hard to transcribe 😨

[@TimothyGondola]

This one was really challenging indeed, Chick's freedom when it comes to tempo, rhythm, meter, makes it super hard to keep track of what he's doing and then notate it in a legible way... but I'm getting a grasp on it.

[@olvinjanoisin2255]

I once read somebody creating scale for prima vista skills. I can't remember what was the beginner level but the absolute top of the scale was playing Spain prima vista. I totally understand that now.

[@bradforddavis6497]

Best version i ever heard him do. Great transcription.

[@wizard1370]

This actually sounds amazing

Have you done any latin jazz transcriptions? Like maybe muchel camilo or michel petruciani? Theres a particular piece of music ive never found a transcription for but cant seem to work out all my life. Its called rampart street rumba by yockamo all stars. Id be really happy if you worked out the piano part from this

impressive transcription. you are genius!

[@obisraelngawani1373]

I have questions, when people like cory henry, chick corea, jesus molina, bill evans etc seat at the piano and start improvising, have they memorized what they are improvising, or it comes naturally? and to reach that level should I memorize my licks, patterns and scales etc. and improvise over different chords?

[@TimothyGondola]

Not familiar with their work, but perhaps I could.

[@tacetfive]

titanic work 👍

[@dvamateur]

Is that all by year and by hand, or is there some computer assistance to this?

[@TimothyGondola]

I transcribe by ear, putting the notes into a free notation software called MuseScore. Unfortunately there are no software that are good enough help transcribing at this level, it must be done by ear!

[@cornboy7424]

1:19 can somebody explain what's happening here? this blew my mind lol

[@Darkknight39]

What version is this?

[@TimothyGondola]

From his 2000 album Solo Piano Originals!

Chick is crazy. You too.)))))

[@dawson64iscool]

steve reich?

[@thomascattalani5845]

What notation software do you use?

[@TimothyGondola]

When I first started I used Finale Notepad, but I MuseScore is the best now. It's on the third version. And it's free!

[@thomascattalani5845]

Thanks!

Missed a note in bar 94. A low B is played in the left hand on the fourth beat. Otherwise great work!

que difícil isso!

[@srigato]

Very beautiful!! It is possible to see the beauty of passages How can i have?

[@robbie.broadstock5645]

can you put this into guitar tab?

[@rsm4300]

This is amazing work. I have no idea how you can hear all of the notes in those runs and chords (I assume you are doing this off of the recording without any supplemental help from the artist or anyone else). Keep it up!

[@TimothyGondola]

Thank you! I usually transcribe off of KZbin itself, and slow it down to 75 or 50% to capt really fast and technical stuff. But yes, my ear is the tool. It can all be developed! Your brain hears the music anyway, it's just a matter of moving that info from your subconscious to your conscious by mastering the instrument.

[@maxmaximus4349]

Could you transcribe this tune, please? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWHPYYKvgsmtqpI
