eric Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Sounds kind of like you are playing a Bach piece hands separately, but not enough there to recognize which tune it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepay Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'd say it's somewhere between Mozart and Bach. Kind of like a Mach piece. [My apologies to Nigel Tufnel.] Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the VHS before but loaned it to someone 6 years ago and never got it back. The DVD is so much better anyway with about 2 hours of extras. Good stuff.

NoahZark Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Stepay: If you haven't already done so, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch the film on the DVD with the audio commentary turned on. It has the three original "members" of Tap, in character, commenting on the movie as if they are still real people and it was a real documentary. It's all improvised, and it's without question the best commentary I've ever seen on a DVD. Absolutely f***ing hilarious, especially for fans of the flick, as I most definitely am.

Noah I will definitely do that! I haven't been able to watch everything on that DVD yet, but it's on my to-do list. I saw them live in concert in the early 90s in San Francisco, and it was HILARIOUS. Bass player Les Claypool joined them for some REAL music on a couple of songs including some long outrageously great solos. My sides hurt the next day from laughing so much.

viejid Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Come on keyboard people! I have more faith in you than that... Whistle it a couple of times and see if you can find that one friend you have that listens to nothing but classical music who may recognize it please pretty pretty please.... this crap is driving me insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 There is a melody in there that sounds like a Mozart or Bach song, but the performance is choppy and incoherent overall. Please record it again and repost. Pretty pretty please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viejid Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 i know the performance is choppy and incoherent overall, but im a bass player, and im not even that sure about the rest of the song asides from that part.... but ill do my best at re-recording it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Okay, so I downloaded your 3MB .wav file and tried to glean some sort of melody out of it... but jeez, man, why not record your bass playing the melody line (it couldn't possibly be any worse)? If all else fails, head over to Musipedia.org and enter the melody, including the proper rhythm of the notes, and maybe you'll find what you're looking for there.

eric Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I can't open the GP file, but my best guess based on the original recording is Bach's Two-Part Invention #8 in F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viejid Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 nope, not it.... but i can why you´d think it is... I think the original may be a violin piece, but i just guessed that the keyboard community may be better versed in classical music that the bass player´s forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not. If you had a more coherent source recording, this might be a little easier. It is just a big guessing game based on what you've supplied. You may want to surf Mozart and Bach's catalog on iTunes until you find it. Unless you already know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viejid Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 I dont know what it is, i just know what it sounds like... if i were to hear it i would recognize it, and i can also recognize pieces that are not it... I dont have a mic with me where i am, so i cant record the sound, but the gp4 version sounds as accurate as i could possible remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobadohshe Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Can you play more of it? Many of us are very familiar with Bach's keyboard literature, but I don't know that I'd recognize this even if I had just played the piece 5 minutes ago! Sorry it's pretty impossible with the sloppy time and brevity and one handed version.

Sounds like you are playing Dorian mode. If it were classical and it were minor, I would expect to hear the leading note rather than the minor 7 at the end.

Are you serious? I'm with Sven on this. What a jumbled piece of junk...and you've recorded it in CD-quality stereo--how considerate.
