The Dance Of Eternity - Dream Theater | Sibelius Transcription

  • Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
  • 118 time signature changes! Omitted the first 45 seconds or so, because nothing really interesting happens. The bass solo was almost impossible to distinguish individual notes due to the overdrive on it, so this is the best I could do. Sibelius does not have a palm-muted distortion guitar sample, hence the lack of any. It also only has one decent synth sample. The drum kit part is fairly inaccurate, I couldn't be bothered making it completely authentic. Excuses, excuses.

      In this particular song you get used to its 100+ time signature changes once you've heard it a million times, you can just hum it and "play" along even if you don't have almost any musical theory knowledge like me because you start understanding the "phrasing" of the notes and it just comes natural
