This literally took me hours. It’s all of the fills in “I keep forgettin’” by Michael Mcdonald.
I always fluffed my way through this song with not much confidence and couldn’t find a chart so I thought I would make this a new habit, maybe one day a week I would chart out a song that I know I’ve been playing wrong for years.
I opened the song in VLC media player so I could slow it down and get each fill. I numbered them, timestamped and wrote a lyric next to each of them.
I don’t have trouble remembering the beat so that wasn’t necessary for me.
I don’t normally notate crashes as an asterisk on the same line as the hihat but I saw it for the first time recently and thought it looked neater.
Do these notes make sense? I was going to rewrite it a bit neater so I hastily crossed out some wrong notes on the last line, but haven’t made time yet.
Please let me know if you agree/disagree with what I believe was the correct part and the way I’ve notated?
As a side note, at the end of my day I played the song the best that I ever have. Slowing the track down to 85% and gradually speeding it up really got my right hand working.
