hi..

does anyone know what are the notes that are played on this clip:

http://rapidshare.com/files/40624971/Albibeno.mp3.html

because i would really like to play this on my midi keyboard

and i got another question:
is there a way to play guitar rabs on a keyboard?
i know how to read piano notes with letters like E, G,G# etc but i don't know how to play the notes on my keyboard when i'm reading a guitar tab..
cause in guitar there are numbers not letters..

and maybe u also can tell me how to read the spaces on piano tabs?

here's an example for a tab with spaces:
4|e-e-e-e-|e-e-e-e-|e-e-e-e-|e---|

how to read all these (--) ?

and here's the letters that i'm talking about:
4|d-d-c-c-|c-c-c---cd--|d-d-d-d-|d-d-d---de--|c-c-c-c-|c-c-c-c--3|g---|

and here is an example with the numbers:
b|1-2-3-4-|1-2-3---4---|1-2-3-4---|1-2-3---4---|1-2-3-4-|1-2-3---4---|

and what is that "b" letter on the left of the line?

thanks and i'm really sorry for my bad english..

i have read a little guide on pianotabs.net about "How to read/write piano tabs" and i know that all the spaces are based on beats..
so now i know how to play it but i still don't know how to play guitar tabs on a keyboard..

and i know what are the numbers on the left mean..
so i only need to know how to read the numbers and how to play that nice melody that i added above..

For help with Guitar tabs, see WIKI here.

And have you read the bit on pianotabs.net here? - It explains that the numbers on the left represent the octave you play the notes in that row (how high/low the notes are). The bottom line, starting with b is just to keep the beat and give you information about the duration of the notes (and thus rhythm).

I really would recommend getting familiar with more traditional music notation though, certain for piano. It just isn't possible to convey enough information in a TAB like this. - You might want to check out my Introduction to music notation -How to read & write music.

Well, if you know what notes the guitar TAB indicate, you will be able to play them on the piano. (I assume?) So, learning the principles behind guitar TABs (as it says in the WIKI article, will enable you to play those notes on the piano.

Ok, you need to match up the TAB diagram with the layout of the notes on the guitar, which are as follows:

The coloumn on the far left is the lowest-sounding string, the E below middle-C.
The coloumn on the far right is the highest-sounding string, the E an octave and a third above middle-C.

So, in a standard TAB, the top line is the highest string, and the bottom line is the lowest string.
In other words, you sort-of have to rotate the TAB diagram 90 degrees to the right. (So, horizontal becomes vertical).

0 represents the open string. 1 represents the next note down, and so on.

So, 5 on the top line of the TAB diagram represents the fifth line down on my diagram, in the column on the far right. In this case, the note A.
2 on the bottom line of the TAB diagram represents the second line down on my diagram, in the column on the far left, in this case, F#.

Make sense?

You need a synth with an arpeggiator and a tempo synced delay.
The notes used are root, 4th, 5th and octave. That's about it. What exactly is played and what's coming from the arpeggiator - I wouldn't happen to know.

If you use Audacity, load the mp3, select the entire track, from the effects menu, slow the speed by a factor of -75, split the stereo track into two single tracks, you'll notice that the same notes are played in both tracks, but there is sample and hold (random) modulation to the filter - applied independently to both channels. So the effect will be difficult to produce unless you have two S&H generators modulating two filters (one for left channel, one for right) over each chord in the piece.

need help with some notes
