Not that anyone would likely ever notice, but I think the final note Alvaro shows--an eighth-note F#--is usually two sixteenth-notes: an F# and a G. Also, I think the song is in the E dorian mode, which has a key signature of two sharps and eliminates the need for the accidental (#) on the C in the run-up in the second measure.
IIRC, Bernard uses this pattern during the choruses, but switches to a simpler version of it during the verses. If I get a chance to write out the verse pattern in the next few days, I'll post it.

Alvaro,
I wanted to thank you for this transcription. I practiced it all last night (I'm positive my neighbors hate me now) and I've got it down pretty well. One thing I noticed about his lines (especially "We are family") is those 16th notes that land on the "a" of the 4 instead of being on the 1. Jamerson does that a lot too, but mostly with 8th notes. It kinda leads you into the kick drum on the one. What is this technique called? I need to master it because it totally grooves.

| | | | The technique is called anticipation. You're basically jumping to the next measure before everyone else gets there. Very funky. |

That's a cool looking transcription (I love the Live at the Budokan DVD btw, not only Bernard and Niles playing with Omar Hakim, but Jill Jones on vocals too - very nice!). |

For those after it, they may also find it under the name "Live in Japan" - I think they changed the name of it, though I believe it's the same show.

a lot of people on youtube not only notate this incorrectly but play it incorrectly as well. that last 16th note leading into the next measure's 1 is the key. the people who play it incorrectly might play in time to the backing drum track but lose the original feel.
as a side note, people on youtube are unnecessarily cruel if the poster gets the feel wrong. and great site, alvaro! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
