My custom chart for Sheryl Crow's Real Gone, featured in the big intro race in Pixar's Cars. I remember not having much interest to see the movie, and when I finally did, it became my favorite Pixar movie ever. Go see it if you haven't; it's really good.
The guitar and bass parts are easy, while the drums are deceptively difficult. Good song to train your limb independence. I chose to chart all the instruments (minus the harmonica in the bridge) this time just because it sounded like it'd be really fun to play together with some friends.
FAQ
Q: Is this Rock Band?
A: No, it's FoFiX, an open source program with an interface that emulates RB/GH and allows you to play custom songs that people have charted.
Q: "Charted?"
A: I use a program called FeedBack Chart Editor to enter in notes where I hear them. This program creates a chart file which I convert to MIDI and then import into FoFiX.
Q: Why aren't you playing in the video?
A: Because this video is simply showing the notes I charted based on my analysis of the song. I'm using FoFiX's AI to hit the notes for me.
Q: Can you chart [insert song here] for me?
A: No.
Q: Can you give me your chart files?
A: No. But nothing stops you from using these videos as a guide and creating a chart of your own.
Q: Can you teach me how to chart a song?
A: Do you have a good ear for music? Can you typically hear and identify all the layers in a song? That's the toughest part and can't really be taught. Learning the interface is quite easy.
Excellent charting. My only complaint is that at the part starting at 1:14, I definitely hear some bass kicks that aren't charted on drums. Other than that it's fantastic.
