Thanks a lot Sarpedon!

[Richie]

awsome
i cant wait for more!
i took a stab at Scandal at the Parkade a while ago, i got the basic idea of it but never could get over a certain hump... id be more than happy to post what i got if anyone would like to learn that much (or even better, finish it for me!?!)

I'll get on it; I couldn't do it before, but I'm sure I can now.
I think I remember it being in the key of c(or f) and in 3/4 time.

[Richie]

alright, so heres what i got so far if anyone would like to see,
i think i overcomplicated the time signatures but it sounds alright when the MIDIs play it..

s3.supload.com/free/Intro_to_Scandal_at_the_Parkade_small.jpg/view/

this ends off right before the singing begings...i also inserted loop instructions...overdub loop was partialy cut off but yea, you get it..so anyone want to finishing it?

[letsplaycroquet]

I think we need a He Poos Clouds score.
I've tried to do it by ear, but my ear is pretty terrible.
Who wants to try that one (or does Owen want to contribute)? ;D

He Poos Clouds score? yes! i'd love that!
ive tried too, never really stuck with anything, just kind of pretended to play the song..
id love to learn the 'they shoot music' verson
theyshootmusic.at/posts/Final_Fantasy
i cant imagine where to begin on it though...haha, yes owen's contribution would be swell

[Richie]

i only did a very tiny part of the intro
it didnt take too long but thats because my timing interpretation is ridiculous . this is mainly because i wasnt using the retardation signatures to show dramatic speed reduction, i just gave the notes more value to make them last longer, oh well, if you know the song like i believe you all do, it should work out fine.
i also put the mandolin tab under it for all you lazy violinist like myself who can make sense of tabliture on a fret-less instrument



I also translated it into guitar tab, so not to leave you out Sarpedon. i havent yet tried it on the guitar, but i noticed some unnecessarily long reaches so if you like you can rearrange it how ever you like...



Enjoy It! Fix It! And Finish It! Hooray!

thanks richie! I'll make it up to you; and make chords, find a suitable tuning, ect. maybe even do the whole song!

edit: I just gave a quick listen, and verse: C Am a few times then Em
then chorus!: C D Em G
I'll do the notes for the whole song soon, I just gotta balance it with making music, work, and the other tab/chord requests

[dancewiththedead]

He Poos Clouds should be something like this:

Intro: C, A

Verse: Cmaj7 (x32000), C, name unknown (x12310), A

Chorus: C, Bm, Am, G or (more precisely) C, Bm, Am7 (x02213), Gadd9 (320035)

"He swam..." part: variations in Dm

[Richie]

awesome work!
thanks sarpedon & dancewiththedead, i'll try to see what i can do with these,
i really "transcribed" the beginning quickly, but just took a break (temporarily gave up) once i got to the pizzicato verse deal (on the live version)
this should definitely encourage me to dive back in..

I made a new one, dancewiththedead's was better than mine, especially his chorus, this one is a hybrid with some new things. enjoy!
Intro/Verse: C/Cmaj7(x32003) a few times then Em/Esus4
Chorus:C Bm Em7(022003) Gadd9
"he swam": Dm with variations as he said

[dancewiththedead]

It isn't complete, I simply don't have the time right now to write the whole thing, but this is what I got from the 'They Shoot Music Don't They' session.

Lazy, you lazy poet, your words are reckless, and I can't feel it
But hey, hey, all the boys I have ever loved have been digital
I've been a guest, on a screen, or in a book!

I move 'em with my thumbs, I move them with my thumbs
I write his name in nothing, he whispers to the author
That I will be the only one

Escape! Escape! This time, for real!
We fool around in the service lane
He's the only friend I have who doesn't do cocaine
And all the boys I have ever loved have been confidential
Had a broken home, or a seedy past

It's prepared for the parts missing (the only one I don't actually know how to play is the "Gotta fulfill the seven prophecies!..." bit) so anyone can add to it if they feel like.
PS: The chords aren't correctly placed, but that's the forums fault. I'll try to fix it later...

[Richie]

wow-za, great work!
ha, youre terrific!

[letsplaycroquet]

Song Song Song has the most epic violin part ever, especially towards the end.
Anyone want to give that one a shot..?

I've got the chords (more or less) written out, I could tab it out, or let you work it from the chords, whichever.
