jahfume Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Was looking on line for some Dan material and came across this great UK site with free download PDFs. http://www.grantobrien.co.uk/samples/piano-based-transcriptions Seems that the Hal Leonard books are not great on accuracy but these charts are top pro-job. Also some Jaco/Weather Report tunes not in the fake books and five or so piano transcriptions from Donald Fagan's Nightfly including fullscore of Between the Raindrops inc. seperate parts for synth/lead guitar/drums and conga! Hope this 'aint "old news" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griswold Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks SO much for posting this. One of my bands is a SD band. I have learned all the tunes we play quite well without much in the way of charts but there are still tunes we haven't tackled yet. I will definitely check these out. It also looks like there's some nice material for my fusion band. Thanks again!

J_tour Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks!

Morrissey Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Bumping this thread to show appreciation to OP and to the Grant O'Brien website to which he links. I'm learning Peg this week; the website has charts for almost the entire band! And a bunch of other great charts, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamanczarek Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I referred to the SD and Beach Boys transcriptions last year and they are pretty good but had to make quite a few changes to sound more like the recording. I think some of the SD chords are overly-complicated with somewhat different chords than I hear on the recorded versions. Some of the "God Only Knows" transcription is a bit convoluted. I've heard a few different mixes of that song with different instrument combinations being more or less prominent so it may difficult to do a definitive transcription.

harmonizer Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I made transcriptions of the horn parts for Deacon Blues and Home At Last a few years ago - 5 individual horn parts for each. I also transcribed a keys part for Home At Last. There may have been more than 5 parts at some places in Deacon Blues, but at a certain point I needed to stop - this was for a School of Rock show that my son was in. Picking out the individual horn parts for Deacon Blues and Home At Last was probably the most difficult such exercise I have ever done.

synthizen2 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 My classic rock covers band does Peg, Hey Nineteen, Reelin In The Years, and Pretzel Logic (title track)... and looking to add more Dan. We don't rely on charts, as most bandmembers don't read them... but all are great musicians. We work out the parts by ear at home, then work out the arrangements and correct any harmonic errors in the rehearsal room. Our lead guitarist has the Jay Graydon solo on Peg down good. Great band. Have been a huge fan since mid/late 70s. Love playing those tunes! Quote Kurzweil PC3, Yamaha MOX8, Alesis Ion, Kawai K3M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
