Bingefeller May 11 2011 at 7:08 AM	Ah man! It says on the Hal Leonard site that it includes tablature....that’s disappointing. I can only read music a little bit and it takes me ages to figure it out. I’m guessing that the Metheny stuff wouldn’t be the best place to start to learn and sight read. :)
transcendentman May 10 2011 at 7:02 PM	the orchestrion and the wayup books, have so many interesting parts, or very happening stuff, definitely got the bass clef reading going again. in fact punching in all the notes helps immensely, and then checking out the bach piano sonatas in pdf, very fun to watch.
bluepno May 10 2011 at 9:35 AM	Amazon review...By the way, some may say that TAB should have been included. That would have taken up too much space and compromised the beautiful layout and price of this score -
Bingefeller May 09 2011 at 3:50 PM	Does this book include tablature?
transcendentman May 04 2011 at 3:03 PM	we are expanded now just finished it, still have to go back and relisten to the part after the solo section, man this tune, anyway we are watching the glenn gould documentary
transcendentman May 04 2011 at 9:51 AM	only fourteen bars to go, then we have to then we’re done punching notes to expansion, that tune is far out.
transcendentman May 02 2011 at 7:03 PM	hey so were punching in the notes right after the solo on expansion and the bass is kind of different on the recording, it sound really intense when you punchin the bassline in the book like the sections dd and ee, man talk about wild, think well try to go by the recording after we punchin all the note in GARAGE BAND! ugh!!! bricolage as they say make do with what u have. over and out
transcendentman May 02 2011 at 4:15 PM	we were watching this steinway documentary and the wood is from alaska, interesting huh, punching in more notes man there are so many good and interesting parts in these tunes!
transcendentman May 01 2011 at 4:55 PM	got a piano today, working on page 222 section H from the pmg songbook, the other cool part is from this tune across the sky, man expansion is intense really intense.
transcendentman Apr 29 2011 at 6:09 PM	hey anyone try punching in page 187? and comparing it to the recording? the section letter j is very cool, right now listening to the soundtrack on hang em high, where it kind of reminds us of glass
transcendentman Apr 29 2011 at 1:52 PM	now that tune expansion is really cool, the solo section is awesome, i;m wondering how in the hek did those machines hold up on tour man, cause these tunes are some serious workouts, now were going to go to the double letter section then on to another tune don’t know which one yet,
transcendentman Apr 28 2011 at 8:50 PM	whos zero? anyways we are about to tackle the W section, now that reminds me of... anyway, that jaco at montreux was fun, the steel pan guy was cool, and brecker on the trumpet man, the whole band was a knockout, now were going to go work on takadum takadimi on that john mclaughlin rythym cd, man thats fun to practice too.
yossarian Apr 28 2011 at 7:15 PM	was listening to O tonight. Still getting better 14 months on. The score would be scary. Not going to look.
transcendentman Apr 28 2011 at 11:28 AM	theres this on video Jaco live and outrageous live at montreux, now that is going to be cool, hes got his war paint on and everything! well thats after we work some more on expansion on page 182 or 183, over and out
transcendentman Apr 27 2011 at 9:05 PM	today we worked on the solo section theres only symbols now no notes, anyone check out charles mingus beneath the underdog or something like that a documentary, fascinating
transcendentman Apr 27 2011 at 12:23 PM	now we are working on expansion another kick a#$# tune the on page 178, garage band doesnt let you do tempo changes like in logic, well you could doit u know pull out the calculator but anyway... also working on the mg voiceleading book, thats a real interesting one
transcendentman Apr 26 2011 at 8:47 PM	the tempos that they play these tunes at are insane!!!! man gotta go get that metro nome!!!!
transcendentman Apr 26 2011 at 9:36 AM	this morning we counted how many times there were key signatures changes on the staff while looking at the score, and it was 38 times
transcendentman Apr 25 2011 at 7:17 PM	all the way to page 131 man this is an incredible work think we’ll move on to expansion next. over and out
transcendentman Apr 25 2011 at 2:01 PM	almost finished with orchestrion then we have to go back and go over it and make corrections, and ad percussion the strumming section when the melody comes in reminds me of keeper of the flame, tune, then theres the ending.
transcendentman Apr 24 2011 at 7:31 PM	this stuff is intricate thats for sure, made it all the way to page 115 wehooooooooooooo
transcendentman Apr 24 2011 at 11:53 AM	you know i was listening to that section and it reminded me of that exploding star orchestra for some weird reason, something about electric eels, i remember downloading from emusic. great stuff now were on page 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! were rolling now.
transcendentman Apr 23 2011 at 8:58 PM	mad it all the way to section JJJ looks like tomorrow we’ll move on to the kkk section on page 94, man this is very cool stuff
transcendentman Apr 23 2011 at 5:10 PM	man o man the more you get into it the more incredible this score is this is a lot of fun!!!!
transcendentman Apr 22 2011 at 8:17 PM	had sunnysideup this morning, today we got all the way to page 77, man now its really miller time!!!!!!!!
transcendentman Apr 22 2011 at 3:01 PM	any one check out the YY section? around 8:33 or is that correct? were just gonna take the gminor and repeat it sounds weird on 69 when we punch in the chords
transcendentman Apr 21 2011 at 7:56 PM	man o man, got in a full day today, got up to page 66 moving on to 67 tomorrow
transcendentman Apr 20 2011 at 7:01 PM	started a little late today, got up to the double 00 section, its really cool listening to it at different tempos, and stuff, anyone ever see that john zorn documentary about thebookshelf in the sky or something, really interesting saw it on netflix
transcendentman Apr 19 2011 at 8:02 PM	man, now we made to page 50 witch starts the really cool section JJ wich is about 5:23 or24 on my itunes this song is incredible really dig all the moving parts...
Fido Apr 19 2011 at 7:22 PM	Came today! Impressive just to thumb through. Looking foward to listening and following along.
transcendentman Apr 19 2011 at 9:28 AM	cool now we’re on page 44, going to have to get the other trillion brains working in parallel so we can finish this thing, listening to rare birds, man
-m Apr 18 2011 at 10:28 PM	I hear you omar!!!
transcendentman Apr 18 2011 at 8:42 PM	man we finished the first section a thru z still have to go thru it, definetely want to revisit the way up again man. its miller time!!!!!
transcendentman Apr 18 2011 at 2:03 PM	now were working on section x the x factor, anyways did anyone count howmany key changes there are in the first section athruz? anyone got any opinion on page 33
transcendentman Apr 16 2011 at 6:27 PM	man today we focused on expansion, while where punching in the notes, with a qwerty keyboard and a mouse were listening to phillip glass and uakti, incredible beautiful stuff.
transcendentman Apr 15 2011 at 10:44 PM	now were on page 33 can anyone explain the 2 bars here for the marimba? i went ahead and changed several notes, though i might be wrong i liked the way it sounds after i moved a couple notes around, onething i have been noticeing is man if one note is off, man you can hearit no matter how dense it is, or just thinking out loud...man this is intense.
transcendentman Apr 15 2011 at 4:56 PM	man garage band is at its limit we thinks gotta break it up into sections, we got all the way up to the T section today, anyone check out those mick goodrick voiceleading books? if you check out the arrows they mirror each other i think, man this score is good food thats for sure.
Fido Apr 14 2011 at 10:33 PM	On order....can’t wait to get this.
transcendentman Apr 14 2011 at 10:08 AM	all the song books are great yeah, the good thing about punching it in is im working on my reading skills witch need a lot of work! man i was punching in Section S right now on page 25 and it reminds me of some of that different trains from steve reich, i think there are 90 lettered sections in this song, man talk about a lot of notes!! then too warm up in the morning im attempting to read along with some of the beethoven piano sonatas at its actual tempo and then i put it in transcribe and slow it down.
bluepno Apr 13 2011 at 6:28 PM	I feel like the older Europeans who would bring a mini score to the orchestral performances.It is wonderful to follow the score while the music plays. All the answers unfold. Thanks Pat for sharing.
transcendentman Apr 13 2011 at 7:58 AM	yeah i had the way up spiral then, i liked how all the bars are numbered in that one, that one was really intense, listened to that cd especially the live one too innumerable times, this morning we went and labeled the measures with numbers and sections up to page 30 because they all switch back and forth so now we just have to punch it in and have the sets off to the side and rearrange them according to the score then, i know they have programs that you can scan the pages and read then they read them i wonder how well those work? anyone check out the ending to that tedx thing man then they do before u go i think really nice
transcendentman Apr 12 2011 at 3:06 PM	now were on page 17 wich is around 1 minute and40 seconds in itunes man this is cool plus the expansion tune we are really digging the melody.
transcendentman Apr 11 2011 at 9:31 AM	man i dig sus chords we punched in the first page of the expansion in garage band, and then tried to get with the rythm man that tune is insane!!!!! then i was thinking about solenoids and servos, then i was thinking about this one tune on that reunion cd where the sus chords go across in minor thirds for the solo section man..
transcendentman Apr 10 2011 at 10:40 AM	yeah i know this morning i had to get up and clap with the click track at 34 for an hour! try that after having 2 cups of coffee now thats mindfulness! i think im going to start checking out expansion two thats another mindblower,
bluepno Apr 09 2011 at 5:32 PM	I have a copy on the way. Spiral bound is the way to go.
transcendentman Apr 09 2011 at 1:35 PM	man we are at page 14!!! and might have to break it up into section because we don’t think garage band can handle it. like we counted the instruments in like bars 7 and 8 1234 switch to 3142 and 4321 switches to 3142 and then it repeats like that it sounds beautiful in are brain. and then its like all these moving parts incredible cant wait to work on it more!!!!!!!
transcendentman Apr 08 2011 at 5:58 PM	yeah it is fascinating today we entered some more notes from the score, then we clapped along with the click track at 40 and 44 bpm. wonder how long it will take to go throught the whole book!!! im going to go get it spiral bounded for i can flip through the pages while we look at the score.
