Post Stick Tune - I'll Be There For You
I was just finishing up with practice tonight, and I thought to myself "Self, you haven't tortured the Stickist folks in, like 2 days, WTF, man?" So here it is... A tragic rendition of the "Friends" sitcom theme song. I had some troubles with the double-stops in the chorus, but not enough for me to worry too much about it. For a 4th pass it's not so, bad. Thanks to Dan Coates for the EZ peasy score... Enjoy, and happy Friday.

Now I gotta get back to my 'effin' laser table...

Although I could
Never, ever, do what you did with just 4 passes, I really did love the sitcom and the song... I'm tempted... my daughter would be mesmerized...
Can you get me that score Scott? Maybe I can squeeze it in my practice schedule and start working on it. Congrats man, you're the king of Rock 'n' roll

Oh, I am pretty sure you could easily wail this off pretty quickly, Rod. At your calibre, and your natural, easygoing musical nature would likely have you achieving success pretty much immediately I am thinking with this tune... Your version of this (or any) tune would be deadly...

I have two ways that I approach reading a tune down;

1) For pieces that have specific bass and treble parts that I want to learn, I read both clefs. These take a bit longer to "rattle off" for obvious reasons...

2) For pieces that I just don't care about the original bass-line too much, I have a series of about 8 basslines/accompaniment sequence that outline a basic harmony of a chord. They range from extremely simple, to kind of tricky and each sequence is interchangeable with each other, and I have practiced in such a way that I can read the melody line of pretty much anything, while I read "The Big Letters" (like in Facebook or jazz standard format). Sometimes it works better than others, but it works for me...

I shall post the score I used momentarily...

That's cash money to someone gigging with a Stick. Not an audience in the world that would not like that one. Great job!

I would love to see a movie made about the series. Basically, the plot would be that they are on a plane over the Andes mountains and the plane crashes. Sadly only the "friends" live, but they are forced to near starvation, and well, they gotta eat... :D

Heh thanks for checking it out, it was fun to put together!
