voyager Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Hi I have just recorded at tune along with a PDF of the dots. I posted a while ago Xmas Tunes 2 for new players with just the dots and now I am trying to get up to date so this is my first attempt any comments more than welcome so I can alter to suit I use the same dots as before Easy Notes. Hope you like Dave Dark Island,.pdf 01- The Dark Island.mp3 Edited September 6, 2019 by voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Ted Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I listened to the recording last night, and it sounded good. The playing has a few hesitations, but overall very nice and clear. The recording sounds as if resonating in a large empty room, which gives it a far away feeling, quite appropriate for this particular tune, although perhaps it might muddle other more bouncy tunes such as a fast jig. The notation didn't appear to be correct. The note pitches and the lengths were all just fine, but the bar lines were off by one crotchet. (1/4 note) This tune ought to start with a pickup prior to the first full bar, so the first two quavers (1/8 notes) would be before the bar, with the downbeat of the full measure on the next note, and everything else shifts forward one 1/4 note to match. I can't seem to open the .pdf today though, and see that your post was recently edited, so I don't know if that file has since been changed.

voyager Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thanks Ted for the comments, sorry so taking so long to reply. I copied the abc and exported it into midi, I then ran it in another notation package. The package came up with the layout you saw, so maybe it loses or gains something in exporting and importing. Because of this I looked round the net for any other variations. After visiting a number if sites I gave up at roughly 490 versions plus a large number which used various different titles, the is even a "very loose" version which is used in The Patriot Games. My main intention was to help new players especially those who cannot read the dots, all they want to do to start with is be able to play a simple tune their friends and relatives can recognise. From Small Acorns etc., Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Hi Again Hope this works the MP4 now included and the original PDF version which I note is not exactly what some people think it should be but in my last reply there are far too many different versions. Does it sound right listening, do the dots make the same tune. Again this is starting point for beginners and people who do not read the dots Here is the PDF The Dark Island.pdf Dave The Dark Island.pdf Edited October 3, 2019 by voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 MP4 and PDF work fine here. Thank you. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
