Hi All,
I recently finished my dissertation, and thought I would post some more transcriptions of High Llamas tunes. This time, rather than posting a random assortment, I've decided to go by album, so here is Buzzle Bee.
I've marked measure lines with either a : or | (not sure why I wasn't consistent, but anyway). What ever is inside the measure gets played for the full measure. So, for example, with a time signature of 4/4, |Gm7| Gm7/C, C7| wouid be Gm7 for four beats, then Gm7/C for two beats, and C7 for two beats. Anyway, I've transcribed the album mostly on piano, but the transcriptions work equally well on guitar, though might be more tricky, as I have tried to capture the full orchestration in the chords, so you might end up with some bass notes that make the guitar voicings more difficult. Hope this helps. I've got a number of other tunes transcribed from other albums, and will hopefully post them when I get around to completing the albums.
best,
Marc
