[DONE] Notes completed for 1st chunk of Earth song by MJ

[Carrie]

Hi Nat! I found out the first chunk of “Earth song” by MJ… If you would like to post it on your site that would be great. (I think that I have all the notes pretty close but if find any that are off, you are more than welcome to switch the!)

Oh wow Carrie, thank you so much! I can’t wait to get home and play this, and would love to add it to the site, thank you, I’m so grateful ? will reply properly later (at work!) but wanted to ensure I’d thanked you quickly ???

[Carrie]

No problem Nat! (:

Hey Carrie, thanks again for sharing your work with me to put on the site, i’m very grateful 😀

I’ve been playing it through on flute and have made a few tweaks, i’d really love to know what you think and know if it sounds better or worse to you – what instrument are you playing by the way?!

I copied your notes and edited the one above – let me know what you reckon:

Also i’d noticed you preferred Ab rather than G#, and have got my head ticking – i should add a way for users to toggle between Ab/G#, Eb/D# etc, perhaps a thing to add to the ‘note settings’ bit on the song pages. If there’s anything else you think of that would make the notes easier to work with, let me know 😀

Can’t wait to hear what you think of my proposed amends 🙂 …and thank you again 🙂

Hi Nat! I think your version sounds so much closer than mine! And that would be great to add something like note settings too! Also I play the flute (:

[nat]

Ahh I’m so glad it sounded right to you! All I did really was swap C’s to B’s, the rest was there! So thank you again 🙂 I’ve published it here: https://noobnotes.net/earth-song-michael-jackson/ I’d love to give you credit somehow, if you’d feel comfortable with me doing that?! And woop another fluter 😀

[nat]

…either way, i hope we can collaborate again! thanks again Carrie, marking this as ‘done’ (ps haven’t forgotten about ‘Leave Me Alone’, any day now!)
