Trying to closely mimic a well played piano accompaniment on guitar is often a very difficult task. In this case, the chord example tommytubetone referenced is already pretty rich and will probably serve your purposes quite well. I'm not sure how far you want to take the chord arrangement, but I find that aspect more time consuming and challenging than getting a lead or melody part down.Įven if I have a good chord chart already laid out in front of me, it can take quite a while to work out the best sounding chord inversions in a way that they move smoothly from one to another, introducing passing chords, other substitutions, introducing variety from chorus to chorus, little fills, maybe some bass line, etc. Lots of really sweet licks in there! Someday I will have to revisit this. Is this the version you are transcribing? A lot of times, I’ll place a bracket over notes and write ‘this is fast’ or cryptic squiggles at the ends of notes. When I’m transcribing I try to notate successive bends and releases, trills and give some indication of time. Then most importantly, I’m wondering how to transcribe time. Any hints on chasing down the chord progression? The recording is piano, but I hope I can find the guitar chords. But I need to pick out the chord progression to play into my looper, then go back and try to learn the 4 minute solo in time. I’ve just got the lead transcribed, first pass I know there’ll be some fixes. I know Black Magic Woman so well in my head since it came out in high school, I just know it in my head plus I can play along with the recording. Hopefully my pitch recognition will get better. I will hear a run first convinced it is- 3rd string 0 1 2 3 4 5 4 5 then after not being satisfied find that is actually 3rd string 4 2nd 5 1st string 3 5 6 7 6 7. I have transcribed it pretty much note for note. Recently I heard Peter Frampton’s Georgia on My Mind instrumental version (2019 I think). Listening to Bluesville on SXM driving I take screen shots of songs I might want learn (dangerous I know). If I screw up, I just cross it out and keep going. I write the notes down on tab lined sheets in black ink. If I slow down further like 50%, it starts getting muddy, 35% is barely usable given my hearing condition. I can usually pick out a lot a full speed but 70% works really well. I use Transcribe software to slow it down if needed. I think got it note for note (can’t play it like Carlos but sounds good to me). In January, I did Santana’s Black Magic Woman, start to finish except the keyboard parts.

I usually play the piece from a lead sheet to allow freedom for improvisation, but I felt a published ‘concert’ version may be useful for other players. It is for this reason that I love to play this version for audiences. I remember it having a profound impact on me as a child. I was introduced to Georgia by a primary school music teacher in the 1970’s. It is perhaps this ambiguity and possible double-meaning of the lyric which make it so alluring. In 1979 the song was officially designated as the State Song of Georgia. Writers have speculated that the song was written about Carmichael’s sister, named Georgia, but the writer himself state it was inspired by the US state. Both versions also have chord symbols in case players wish to improvise around the sequence. This download gives you a version with just notes and a second with notes and TAB. My solo arrangement is designed for more experienced players. Ray Charles’ version reached number 1 in the Billboard chart that same year. This classic song was composed in 1930 and has become best associated with the single by Ray Charles, recorded in 1960. Published by DanJonesGuitarist (A0.1048353).
