Animated Sheet Music: "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane

This is what John Coltrane's landmark tune and solo look like when they come to life on paper.

If you try to play along, you may notice that the transcription for the head is transposed for C and the solo's in Bb. Weird, I know, but the transcription book that I based this animation on was in concert.

You can buy the sheet music here:

[John Coltrane]

I AM THE BEST HAAAHAAHAHAAA!

And here's a full lyric set by thejoyofsax!; X)

"You just broke the news

Giant steps in giant shoes

Dignified as you strive

Ever more satisfied

You Know

It's an easy climb

Stepping ten miles at a time

Make the move as you prove

Giant steps lose the blues"

[Jam Gaela]

I think it might have been the end of the track that came before this. All of the versions and outtakes I have don't have that as an introduction to the tune.

[lmlOoOlml]

[Chase Beasley]

I read in another video, he painstakingly used photoshop, note by note. Then assembled in video editor.

Or his answer was sarcastic...

[CaptainArthurStunt]

This is awesome!

This is too boss. Very Creative.

[Pierre Bancel]

INCREDIBLE ! How do you do that ! Do you print screen on each note ? but how did you do it on "Bloomdido" ? What sheet software do you use ?

My 8 year ol son who is not fond of note readind was amazed. You have found a way to look at scores differently . in french "Bravo !!!".
