I am an experienced producer, radio host, recording artist (Comedy), and playing keyboards in a tribute band. I am not that great, but I can rehearse my butt off, if someone can figure out the parts for me.
Looking to hire an expert player who can pick out and put into musical notation piano and other keyboard parts for Classic Rock hits. If you are PERFECT at it, this can be an occasional gig. Most people do NOT do a very accurate job, which is why most cover bands leave a lot to be desired.
I hadn't played at all for 17 years, and wasn't any good back then, so this has been an interesting experience.
The right person might have some musical notation software, a good ear, and enjoy nitpicking accuracy.
Let me know if it is you.
Thanks for reading.
EXAMPLES OF SONGS I'D LIKE TO LEARN:
Paradise By The Dashboard Light- Meatloaf (Piano, other keyboard parts)
Won't Get Fooled Again- The Who
OTHER TRACKS I HAVE IN MIDI FORM recorded by another keyboard player. I just need the musical score so I can learn and practice them.
I have found most sheet music books to be very innacurate, so if anyone knows of great ones, please let me know.
THANKS FOR READING
Bob

mortalengines....
{The only other thing I would like to add Bob, is that you ought to just try to hammer out these covers as best as you can and forget about the songwriter's nuances...create your own. Make those songs Bob Rivers songs. What is the point otherwise? Think about Clapton's "I Shot the Sherriff", or "After Midnight" or Jimi's "All Along the Watchtower", or even Van Halen's "You Really Got Me". The chords are there but they are definitely NOT note for note covers. Whaddaya wanna be a jukebox all yer life? Have fun with it for Pete's Sake! Play it by ear (and heart)>}
Amen, amen... Thank you... Wish I would have thought of that... However, you can't get too experimental with "Cover Band Material"... You did mention Jimi, Clapton, Van Halen... It is unthinkable for them, but if Bob goes in the band with some avant garde chords, he will not have a gig for long.
Hey, do you agree about Van Halen trying to introduce synth into that kick ass band... It was actually David Lee Roth who ripped that song to shreds, of course the guitar solo.... and then: They Synth Riff. Pure Casio with a beginner stifly pounding chords... The Band had a big fight in New York, people don't know if it was real or orchestrated... Eddie Van Halen and David Lee really hate each other, but Eddie won't fight because David knows Martial Arts... Plus, he really can jump... He could kick Shaquille O'Neal in the nose.
Nah-nah-nah-nah Eddie's scared of David...
