Title: Pitch-inclined people needed
Post by: Angel on August 10, 2007, 02:35:33 PM
I heard my little brother whistling this tune last week, and it sounded familiar. I asked him where he'd heard it, but he couldn't remember. So I asked him to hum it again, wrote down the notes, and asked others about it, but so far, no-one I asked remembers, though they all thought it sounded familiar. So even though I know it's weird, I'm gonna type the notes and see if someone here can place it. (I tried googling it. Nada.) It's got a fast beat, and it's in 4/4 timing, in the key of B minor.

F# B A F# E D E F# E D C#
F# B A F# E D E F# A F F#
F# B A F# E D E F# E D C#
F# B A F# E E D E D B

If you need me to type the beat, I'll do it. But that feels like a stretch for some reason.

Sounds vaguely familiar.  The beat might help, since I assume that there are two eighth notes in there somewhere.  Also, are you sure that there's an F natural in there?

Edit...I think I mistranscribed the lousy thing.  Somehow, I got something like 10 notes for F# B A F# E D E F#.  Hence the eighth note stuff.

Oh, and I assume that the final B is an octave below the other B, right?

Yup. I just didn't type that it was. Sorry.

The song has roughly the same tempo as "Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to type the rhythm.

This thread hasn't gone very far, has it?

Just find the tempo and find the appropriate spacing, whether it be 1 2 3 4 or 12345678 or however. You can type no notes as hyphens, and if need be, a tilde to indicate a held note.

Do you think this might help illustrate the rhythm? (http://www.icogitate.com/~ergosum/fonts/music-fonts2.htm)

That's a snazzy program there Shadrok.

Well, unless you've figured it out by now, could you get a recording of it as well? I can't actually note-read and stuff.

I don't know what it is either but it sounds pretty sweet on my guitar.
