  • Several have requested a Journey cover... Many thanks to Estebanco7, and NotMe. Skip to 4:12 to play along with my karaoke version. And wow - my first high A in a recording. Been working hard at my range... still a work in progress.
    The original song is in E concert (F# major for trumpet). I lowered it a half step to make it more playable by younger musicians. If you want to play along with Journey, simply ignore the flat in the key sign, and add 6 sharps. Yikes, I know.
    You can find this arrangement here:

      Thanks, Bob! Been working really hard at it for two years. My highest consistent note (and I mean 100%) was high D two years ago. Now my high G is 95%. My goal is a solid Bb, which I finally nailed this week for the first time so I know I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

      @@MrBsCOVERS That's what it's all about. No matter how old or young no matter how long you've been playing. Just keep working hard and good things will follow. I spent a decade dealing with concussion issues and couldn't practice. Now that I am good I've been working hard to get back where I was. It took 3 years but the hard work is paying off.

    It feels like the trumpet replaces the lyrics, which make this an extremely enjoyable piece!
    Have you ever done any work for a series like Narcos or something similar? I could totally see you doing cover bits for shows like that, ie. during a climax right before cutting to commercial. Your style of staying true but adding your own spin would be a perfect match!

    ok, was pretty good back in my day and thinking about getting back into it. Music theory was my weak point. The high part, did you just jump that up an octave? I'm assuming that was because the notes would have been off the scale for your graphics program or did I miss a notation stating such?

    • @MrBsCOVERS
      @MrBsCOVERS  Před 3 lety +1

      Good catch Shane. At measure 92 (guitar solo on the original) I indicated opt.8va. For younger players - they can play along as written - for someone with the range, they can go for it!
