@@berylallen7800 Yes but they don't transcribe perfectly and you have to have a good ear and good theory background to understand what's going on and improve those transcriptions. Usually they transcribe as midis and the midi don't register the saxophone only, for example. It will transcribe every noise as a note into the sheet music. That's where is hard, you see just a ridiculous amount of notes without silences at all. And transcribing is not just putting the notes. accents, Correct scoring techniques, progressions, changes to understand the whole thing. So, no, it is not easy. Sorry.

Amazing work transcribing it. From around bar 105 there are demi-semi quavers at around crochet = 120 which is 16 notes per second. Alex Han then speeds up into sextuplets which is a blistering 24 notes per second. I think he gets even faster than that! Truly an amazing solo too. The rhythmic stuff he's doing is nuts.
@notebooktranscriptions

He is for sure a master of rhythm. When I heard the sextuplets nested in the quintuplet I was shocked. And he manages to simultaneously create a melody with the top note of each of those 6-note fragments. Ridiculous player

Could somebody explain to me why the fifth is explicitly specified for some chords (e.g. 0:53)? Isn't that redundant? I'm very ignorant in music theory, please don't hurt me 😅. Amazing solo and transcription by the way. Gives me goose bumps.
@notebooktranscriptions
Жыл бұрын
Hey, great question. Having the 5 next to a chord name (in this instance D5) is telling us that the chord consists of only two notes: D & it’s 5th which is A. You might have heard them called Power Chords. (Because a 5th sounds powerful!$ D5 chords basically cause a vagueness between major and minor as flavours which can give the improviser some cool opportunities to pick one or the other at different times and superimpose it over the top of the same chord.

It’s a versatile symbol depending on the instrument and composer/transcriber. If you listen to how Han is playing the notes marked like that you can hear he is sort of half-muting or “stopping” them, which is how I intended it to be read in this transcription. (Sounds like his tongue is on the reed for the note.)

He’s playing an A on the soprano (concert G) and pressing some of the right hand keys. Since there’s an open hole in between it’s still an A but it changes the pitch and timbre making it sound like a distinctly different note. He may not be using the tongue at all. You can do this with some other notes on the sax but A is by far the most common and most pronounced
