Transcribing Tab ?

[Mondy]

Hi there Guys,

<Cheeky Mode Engaged>

I was wondering how good you guys are at transcribing tab.

I have a song, by Thunder that I would love to be able to play, but I am crap at transcribing by ear, and I can't find the tablature for it anywhere.

Here's a snippit of the song ( If I Can't Feel Love [Windows Media] | If I Can't Feel Love [Real Audio] ).

If anyone can tell me what key it's in, what chords he's playing, etc., from the snippet, it would be a great help.

Or, if someone wants to offer me their services, I'll send you the whole song privately if you reckon you might be able to tell me roughly what he's playing.

PM me if you think you could help.

kind of hard to hear what he's playing. vocals are kinda too loud. its all chords, shouldn't be to hard. just try it out, im sure youd get it.

your looking at the key of emajor ....

from that snippet seems the chorus (i assume that is the chorus from the excerpt)

is basically A , Emajor , Cminor ... Dmaj , Amaj .....

then Emajor / / / G#minor / / / Dmaj .... A major .. then the solo starts off on Bmajor ...

that's just way off the top of my head without a guitar with me but listen to it and fiddle with that progression and hear where the chords change and slot them in ...

hope that helps you !

You dudes are great.

I have tried at this, but I suffer from a hearing defficiency, which makes this kinda thing REALLY hard !

I'll give it a bash though.

Cheers guys !

if i had the lyrics of that little segment i could prolly put the chords above the lyrics and make it a bit easier to understand if you want ?

[Mondy]

No problem! I love transcribing....makes you think, and I learn lots from it too.

[Mondy]

It's for the good of the community ! There's a severe lack of Thunder tabs out there !!!!

I like this kind of stuff and this is the first time I ever heard the band so...if you do wanna send some, go ahead. Of course, it will take a while to tab them...as long as you don't mind the wait.
