Wizz sings lots of Alan's songs, and might have adapted them to his style. Ralph most likely learned them from Wizz - another one that comes to mind is National Seven.

This is tagged as Ralph McTell and John Renbourn - Has anyone any idea if there's a connection?  Only that I thought more people would be likely to find it with those tags on it  At Henrik's prompting I posted some videos to YouTube and it occurred to me to include me playing this, it being nearly Christmas...  Ah, I seee - so now it's my fault, is it ? I must be spanked then, mustn't I ?  H. |

I have moved the posts about Earl's Court Breakdown and sixpenses to McTell Chatter as they were somewhat off topic here.
Cheers,

I know that this is not strictly guitar related, but I'm hoping that some of you musicians out there can help me with this... I have some Christmas money to spend, and have been wondering wether to buy myself the 'Songs for six Strings' tab/music book. The thing is, I'm not a guitarist, I play the descant/tenor recorders, so the lowest note I can reach is middle C. I don't mind transposing some songs, but if the majority of tunes' melody lines go below this note, I don't think it would be worth my while buying it. Can anyone who has a copy help me with this please?  Last time I tried to look at a copy at a gig, I met a friend at the merch. stall whom I hadn't seen for years - I had no idea she was a Ralph-fan, and, as you can imagine, ended up chatting to her for quite a while, and never got round to a good look at the book Naomi Happy New Year all  |

The only tune lines that don't go below middle C are: Arthur Blake Barges England 1914 I'm Sorry I Must Leave In The Dreamtime Now This Has Started Summer Girls Summer Lightning Wino And The Mouse (piccolo part) The other 32 songs/instrumentals all go below middle C at some point in the keys they are written/printed, so you would have to transpose them. Hope this helps... |

Hope this helps... Thanks for taking the time to check for me Maj (not too sure about Henrik's suggestion though! ). Sounds as if it's probably not worth me buying it, unfortunately.  I'll just have to keep on trying to work the tunes out by ear. Thanks again, Naomi |

And I recall that you can get a CD with midi-versions of these songs from Roger. Such programs will usually be able to read the midi-format, so you wouldn't even have to do any typing at all.  |

Sibelius will do this for you quite easily, but is expensive.
Well worth it though.

That's kind of him Actually I've been considering Sibelius for a while now, but I'd forgotten about it due to a bad experience in a music shop. Paul do you know if it will let you play, say, a piece on a keyboard and write it out in notation? When I asked a guy in local music shop A. He hadn't heard of the programme B. He hadn't heard of the composer and therefore didn't know how to spell it when looking it up on the net, and so C. had no idea what it could do. I want to write notation for music I have worked out from a record, and I want a short cut from ear to page. If I can just play it and let a machine write it, Bob is my mother's brother. |

Yes, good old Jean - what a Finnish It sounds incredible that they wouldn't know that in a music shop. I think most modern keyboards can produce these midi-files or other formats and also communicate directly with the PC via various programs. I have tried TablEdit and GuitarPro, which will both read midi-files and produce note sheets and tablatures - or you can edit them yourself. I am sure similar software exists for keyboards, probably some that can even do it directly as you press the keys of the keyboard. I would imagine that most keyboards above the cheapest price range come with such software these days. Do we have any keyboard experts on the line ? |

Well actually, Henrik (and thank you for your reply), I would only use the keyboard for the convenience of the software, the guitar is my preferred instrument, but I only play acoustic. Do you reckon I can play into my computer via a mic, and have it written out in standard notation? This would save me so much time if this is possible |
