Hey dude. Great stuff! I have actually been trying to transcribe this piece for mallets as well. I came across this and it is exactly what i have been going for. If you still have the sheets and wouldn't mind sending them to me could you? It would really help me out. Thanks! And keep up the good work.
@Mrflashdrive Yeah, I really wanted to include that part. But I just couldn't figure out how to make it work with marimbas and vibes. It sounded silly and weak without the distortion, and if I just let the guitar and bass handle it, all the percussionists would just be standing around looking lame during the hardest part, so I nixed it. But I tried to make up for it by extending the awesome Funk jam under the improvised guitar solo our guitarist did.
@KiodFox Well the bassline and chords were what was already written by An Endless Sporadic, I just repeated it several times to make it longer because I love that part. I would call the bassline more Funk than Blues though, and Chris' guitar solo was very Prog to me, but those labels are always kind of vague.
@MayerEO Thanks, I really was trying to stay under the marimbas, which was tough, and lots of people have criticized me for not playing with more energy, but if I did it would have been a cacophony in that auditorium. I agree that my kit doesn't sound clear or full on this, but that's mostly because none of my drums are miked so you can barely hear the bass drum, and people are used to hearing drums miked. Plus the original is an electronic drumset, so big difference there.
this is a great video, it's like the 5th time I watched it and it never gets old. A great thing your doing for you students I'm sure they really appreciate it .
@54785236951 How can they be up front and behind everyone else at the same time? :) If you meant you thought they should have been in front of everyone else, I purposefully put them behind the percussion instruments to highlight the mallet parts, since it was a percussion concert. They're both awesome players though, and playing crazy hard parts, so I think they still got noticed.
@Datselguf2 Thanks! A lot of people have bashed me for not playing with more energy or passion, but I was going more for accuracy than showmanship, and trying to not steel any spotlight from my students. Glad you liked it.
@severedlegs What part? If you're talking about the extended guitar solo, it's the same riff that's in the original, just expanded and then our guitarist improvised over that. Otherwise it's a not-for-note transcription. You should read video descriptions before posting. Thanks for enjoying it though.
Dude, you need to do "Anything" by this band. I worked at Neversoft for a while doing QA on Guitar Hero: World Tour, and the drummer for that band works at Neversoft.
@Barkilax what part are you talking about, give me a timecode. If you're talking about 2:20, that's an improvised guitar solo, which I mention in the description. Everything else is transcribed note-for-note from the original, and we played very few mistakes, so I don't know what you're talking about. I transcribed every solo perfectly.
@SeanUNT yeah thats the one i was talking about, sorry , I usualy read the descrpition but it was so long on this video so i didnt bother reading the whole this time
@Barkilax That's OK. I just loved that bass riff so much that I wanted to expand that section, and the guitarist I used is an awesome improviser. But besides that added solo, everything else is definitely there.
@worldrummer That would have sounded cool paired with the guitar and vibes on the melody! I play tenor pan actually, and played with the Silver Stars in Trinidad last year when we won Panorama. Check out the rehearsal vid I have if you haven't already.
Well then you must think the drummer for AES is shitty, since I transcribed and played his part note-for-note, without a single mistake. You're just not used to hearing live drums with no mics, so it's hard to hear my snare and bass clearly and loudly, so I admit the overall drum sound is a bit muddy. Also, I was purposefully trying to play low and reserved to not cover up the mallet instruments, which are the focus. Ask a qualified musician if I was shitty, and I think they will disagree.
Hey man, i wanted to know if there was anyway i could get ahold of the impulse arrangement you posted. i was just thinking about how cool it would be to play an endless sporadic show (because they are one of my favorite bands) with my schools percussion ensemble.
I disagree. Even though I love all aspects of percussion, I'd say the xylophone is my least favorite percussion sound. It would have made this sound totally rinky-tink instead of modern and smooth. The only time I ever like xylo is for classical, ragtime, or drum corp/drumline.
Very awesome mate, this is my favourite song of any guitar hero. No idea why they didn't include it in greatest hits -- maybe they thought it would alienate people with its weird vibe.
Been working on converting this song for gh5's custom song app recently, found your video in the process. This is a very nice arrangement of the song :)
the audio is completely awesome. I love that the guitar solo was improvised and not copied, that's really cool. Only this is I think you guys need to unbutton those collared shirts a bit and enjoy the song. I get that it's a written piece but let the song get to you. Just look a bit stiff.
This is really incridible! The song has a very complicated rhythem and I think you pulled it of very very nice. And I like the extended part, in the original song it's really too short! The marimbas are awesome too, and the guitarist is amazing!
Any possible way that I can get a copy of your scores for this and bohemian? I would be grateful to have my percussion ensemble play these arrangements...
Aww, Brandon is a guy. He's just a big hippie. Hopefully he doesn't read this, but you can make it up to him by subscribing to my channel maybe, haha. :)
@Chonch51 maybe if you read the description and saw the name Brandon, you would have thought, "hey thats a guys name." sweet cover. guitar hero fan myself
@ThePercussionHero Well unlike you I don't believe everything I read. Oh and hey last time I checked there are retarded ass parents that name their girl with a guys name and visa versa. For instance Billy, Kelly.etc...
@Chonch51 you find a girl named Brandon and maybe i will agree with you but you might want to spend that time trying to come up with a comeback after your search fails
Thanks fritz. Yeah, when I do arrangements I find it more enjoyable and challenging to try to recreate the awesomeness of the original as close as possible, since that's usually hard to achieve if you're working with great music. It may not be as creative, but it's just my style. Check out my other videos, like Bohemian Rhapsody, and you'll see what I mean. Or better yet, subscribe if you like!
Thanks SleekParrot. I know, there's a lot of stuff on Youtube where I can't believe people weren't too embarrassed to post it with how bad it is. I pride myself on only uploading my best work, so would you subscribe? Then you can see a lot more (in my opinion) good quality music videos if you're interested. Thanks!
Hey man great job, ive been trying to learn this song on drums and need a little help. i cant figure out what the time signatures are near the middle of the song. i think you guys altered it at that part but i was just wondering if u knew what it was in the original song. thanks
Are you talking about the insane breakdown part that I cut out? Can you read music? I transcribed the entire drumset part note-for-note except for the part I left out, and can send it as a PDF if you PM me your email.
Everything from the beginning until 3:54 on this video is in 4/4 at 200 bpm. Then the guitar fill is out of time, and it comes back in 4/4 again at 3:59. From 3:59 to 4:18 it's 3 bars of 4/4, 1 bar of 2/4. 3 bars of 4/4, 1 bar of 7/8. 3 bars of 4/4, 1 bar of 2/4. 4/4 to the end.
Oh and the last big figure at the end is 9 counts total, so a bar of 4/4 and then a bar of 5/4.
Actually I just realized when AES plays it, the guitar fill that sounds out of time before the crazy part is exactly 3 measures long at the same tempo if you keep a metronome running.
As for the crazy part I left out, I'll post my analysis on that video so you can click on the times. Go check it out, it's the one with the blue water drop screen you've seen. Oh, and would you subscribe? :)
Thanks ljl922! Actually I have perfect pitch, so it did help a lot. And whenever I was having trouble hearing a part clearly, I would actually go into my GH3 game's practice mode, and not play one part and just listen to the other part by itself, haha. I agree though, most of the TAB you find on the internet is terrible.
Yeah, I debated about that, but I decided I didn't have enough marimbas or players to get the aggressive sound in the melody that I wanted, and to also be able to compete with the drumset/bass volume-wise. If I had had 5 more marimbas, I probably could have left the guitar out. Thanks though, subscribe if you want for more good arrangements!
Well, if you listen, its about what happens during love. The intro is the quirky, akward meeting of the lovers, the calmer parts are the parts when the lovers truly love eachother, an the violent parts are when the fight and break up.
That's an interesting interpretation. I have a music degree, and I would have just said the song is about being a total badass and melting faces, haha.
Thanks PhatTrumpet. It was a blast to play, but it wasn't as hard to transcribe as I thought it would be. I had played it about a billion times on GH3, so I could sing every part by memory before I even sat down to write it out, haha. My other videos, Vix 9 and Bohemian Rhapsody were actually a lot harder to get down.
The guitarist isn't that young, heh. He's Chris McQueen from Oso Closo and UNT jazz, a friend that I hired. I was playing drumset as well, but the rest of the players are in HS
Freaky nerds? Everyone else seems to think this is pretty cool. So you're saying guitar pieces should never be covered by other instruments? Go tell that to the other thousands of different instrument covers on Youtube then. Don't you realize that there's a guitar in this group too?
And how can something sound bad and nice at the same time? Your comment doesn't make sense.
That was for dramatic effect, and to make sure everyone focused on the claves and woodblock awesome ending. Most classical musicians freeze at the end of a piece until the reverb in the room dies out, so people don't start clapping too soon and ruin the last chord.
Thanks man, glad you liked it. Subscribe if you want to see more!
just a little advice about miking the instruments...have u guys ever tried hanging them UNDER the marumba's \vibes. At our school we use two mike for marumba's(top\bottom end) and one for vibes.
We did have mics under the marimbas, 2 for each. Can't you see the boom stands in front of them? Our sound system wasn't the best though, and we didn't have many mics, so it didn't help as much as I'd hoped. I think the vibes cut through pretty well, but the cool 5 octave marimba parts did get lost a bit unfortunately. I had to seriously underplay the drumset part (see comments below) and even then it was hard to hear them. We just needed more people and more instruments, of which we had neither
Hey dude. Great stuff! I have actually been trying to transcribe this piece for mallets as well. I came across this and it is exactly what i have been going for. If you still have the sheets and wouldn't mind sending them to me could you? It would really help me out. Thanks! And keep up the good work.

And whenever I was having trouble hearing a part clearly, I would actually go into my GH3 game's practice mode, and not play one part and just listen to the other part by itself, haha. I agree though, most of the TAB you find on the internet is terrible.

that was pretty amazing, but you guys should lose the guitar, cuz i thought that was the point.
mbos4115 2 years ago
Yeah, I debated about that, but I decided I didn't have enough marimbas or players to get the aggressive sound in the melody that I wanted, and to also be able to compete with the drumset/bass volume-wise. If I had had 5 more marimbas, I probably could have left the guitar out. Thanks though, subscribe if you want for more good arrangements!

Thanks! Yes, it was definitely hard, but worth all the work it to to arrange and play. Would you subscribe for more percussion vids and arrangements?

The song is about love :)

Hmm, I don't know about that, but doing this arrangement was definitely about love for me! Subscribe for more!

Well, if you listen, its about what happens during love. The intro is the quirky, akward meeting of the lovers, the calmer parts are the parts when the lovers truly love eachother, an the violent parts are when the fight and break up.

That's an interesting interpretation. I have a music degree, and I would have just said the song is about being a total badass and melting faces, haha.

Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this. It must have been an absolute blast to play, and an absolute bear to transcribe.
And that guitarist! It's not often that you hear young guitarists playing the changes that tastefully.
Bravo!

Thanks PhatTrumpet. It was a blast to play, but it wasn't as hard to transcribe as I thought it would be. I had played it about a billion times on GH3, so I could sing every part by memory before I even sat down to write it out, haha. My other videos, Vix 9 and Bohemian Rhapsody were actually a lot harder to get down.
The guitarist isn't that young, heh. He's Chris McQueen from Oso Closo and UNT jazz, a friend that I hired. I was playing drumset as well, but the rest of the players are in HS

freaky nerds its ment to be played on guitar!! sound bad but pretty nice ..?
madsulrik5rs 2 years ago
Freaky nerds? Everyone else seems to think this is pretty cool. So you're saying guitar pieces should never be covered by other instruments? Go tell that to the other thousands of different instrument covers on Youtube then. Don't you realize that there's a guitar in this group too?
And how can something sound bad and nice at the same time? Your comment doesn't make sense.

LOL
Anyways, awesome arrangement, really nice!

That was for dramatic effect, and to make sure everyone focused on the claves and woodblock awesome ending. Most classical musicians freeze at the end of a piece until the reverb in the room dies out, so people don't start clapping too soon and ruin the last chord.

Well, I arranged it for these instruments, but the duo An Endless Sporadic wrote/recorded the original version of course. Glad you liked it, thanks!

just a little advice about miking the instruments...have u guys ever tried hanging them UNDER the marumba's \vibes. At our school we use two mike for marumba's(top\bottom end) and one for vibes.
dresofresh7 2 years ago
We did have mics under the marimbas, 2 for each. Can't you see the boom stands in front of them? Our sound system wasn't the best though, and we didn't have many mics, so it didn't help as much as I'd hoped. I think the vibes cut through pretty well, but the cool 5 octave marimba parts did get lost a bit unfortunately. I had to seriously underplay the drumset part (see comments below) and even then it was hard to hear them. We just needed more people and more instruments, of which we had neither
