I reached out the the guy from the video (MexSax) and he said that he didn’t make the music scrolling part but it is done within Band In a Box software. I don’t really want to get into that program but if anyone out there has it let me know if they’ve ever tried that with it.

Thanks Pete, like I said, hard to transcribe but eventually a fun one to do

john replied to the topic Me& Mrs Jones. in the forum Repertoire 3 years, 3 months ago
ya that’s a good idea Pete. but would involve some time which right now I’m using to create the songs! maybe in the near future….there is a lot of work that goes into this stuff and I wouldn’t mind sharing especially if a lot of people found it helpfyul or even interesting.

well guys. I’m sorry but it’s the middle of the day here and I thought I might be finished this new tune but am only now taking a break as there is much more to do before I can edit my video and get all the files ready to upload. Will finish up later tonight and get it to you early tomorrow (Saturday).

Hey Christian, ya that’s a popular one but no I couldn’t keep up with the many requests I get emailed every week.
I am working thru a long pre-planned list with my band in the studio every month so locked in for a while as far as a.song list goes.
we’re doing one a week now and it’s pretty tough to keep up that pace. -
john replied to the topic Me& Mrs Jones. in the forum Repertoire 3 years, 3 months ago
ya Pete it’s a great tune. Just been working on it a lot….for some reason it’s harder than most I’ve done in recent memory. The melody changes a lot. Still learning it and gotta get it out by tomorrow!…hopefully later in the day.

very cool William…I remember a guy in the 70’s John Clemmer used to do a lot of that echo stuff.

I hadn’t seen him being credited for that one altho he could be, but I’ve seen him credited for several other songs which surprised me at the time.. He was very successful between being a trumpet player with his band The Tijuana Brass, was co-owner of A&M records, writer and producer and who knows what else!

hey William, ya Night Train is a 12 bar blues for sure. I don’t see a need for a 4 page transcription tho…mine is only 2 pages with the solo written out.

Experimenting in different octaves is something you all should do, not just when you see it written as such.
jumping an octave the 2nd time thru a verse or chorus (wether it’s written or not) is the best way for us to take the energy
of the performance up a notch. -
john replied to the topic You Never Can Tell – Question in the forum General Questions 3 years, 4 months ago
right. I played the melody an octave higher. if I wrote it out most people couldn’t read and play it anyway as it goes past the highest note and into the altissimo range.

john replied to the topic Following "Stand By Me" in the forum Repertoire 3 years, 4 months ago
those bars mentioned (73) do not make sense when I look at the chart. Bar 73 is in the solo section not the end of the verse so I’m not following.
-
john replied to the topic 12 Bar Blues in the forum Improvisation 3 years, 4 months ago
ya that’s what everyone should practice and know inside out; all scales, chords, arppegios.
eveyone will tell any music student that. it’s what I worked on daily for years. I don’t think a lot of people do it tho.
it’s amazing how much theory you learn after that. it’s practically all one needs to know about music. -

when you say you got my email, do you mean the one I sent telling you that I resent the login info again, or the actual email containing the login info?
