For some time, I have had this idea about making trumpet versions (maybe with a little jazzy twist) on my favorite old school games. Does anyone know where to get it? Particularly Megaman 2 and wonderboy in monsterland would be highly appreciated.
I will look around for ya,for now I would suggest to learn it by ear,that's how I figured out megaman 2 on guitar.
Thanks! Well, learn it by ear is always an option I guess but if the work is already done by someone it seems better to put the energy on the remixes. Im not sure it has been done in before, mixing game music with bebop/cool so it has a certain adventures feel to it.
Is this similar to what you wanted to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqxbVE_hbI And here is some sits to check out. http://vgsmworld.com/index.html http://individual.utoronto.ca/auyeun/vgsheetmusic.html http://sheetmusicswap.com/music.php?style=5
Just work out what the title of the track you want to play is, and then google for it +sheet music. You quite often find it like that. Or, find the MIDI (there are some great video game MIDI sites out there) and play it in a sequencer - most of them convert to score. It is definately worth getting in the habit of transcribing yourself, though. It is a useful thing to be able to do. As a hint, look for some good music theory books if you're not so great on it. Listen to familiar tracks, and analyze them. This is what I had to do in college.... quickly, too! There are two areas you want to cover - recognizing what note types they are (i.e. timing - crotchets, semibreves etc.) and recognizing the notes. The easiest way to recognize the notes is learn the intervals.. so your tune starts on whatever note, then goes up a perfect fourth, down a major seventh... etc. Do you see what I mean?
Well, you could take this site. http://www.vgmusic.com/ And then you use some kind of midi to note program. Such as Finale , which is a commercial program, but there are probably some free programs too.
