Hello,
Where can I get a (accurate) score sheet for "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins?

Thanks.

Have you tried figuring it out by yourself?

I found several sheets with Google... These probably aren't 100% accurate. But if you can spot what's wrong you probably can correct it.

Another option is to find a midi file, and put that into a notation program.

since I'm really a beginner with piano it's extremely difficult for me to transcribe it myself.
and it's in Bb which is a very difficult key IMO.
I don't want to transpose the key.

thanks anyway guys.

thanks man.
that does help out.
I've found a couple of scores for this song but I'm not sure they are accurate and some are just too difficult for me to play.
On to practice.

Premise the first: Bonteburg used a picture from icanhascheezburger.com.

Premise the second: Bonteburg's location is "a quaint little village just south of Hamburg, Germany."

Conclusion the obvious: Bonteburg lives in Cheezburg.

Corollary the unavoidable: Bonteburg is probably tired of the musical film "Les Parapluies de Cheezburg."

The shriveled left arm is most noticeable.

IMO, this isn't a fair question. Some people learn to play by reading what's in front of them; others cannot read a note. Ergo, one's approach will surely be guided by the methods of instructions and practice that has shaped their abilities to date.

Playing by ear takes a long time to learn. Been there; done that. So, I am certainly well qualified to comment on this. In addition, I went through the years of sight reading as a student and teacher, as well.

It's ideal to be able to draw from both approaches. In fact, I'd recommend learning to pick up songs using fake books (and/or basic placeholders). This way, the participant can utilise a reminder that won't intrude on improvisation(s). In fact, those who can rifle through these little libraries can have access to thousands of tunes in a sitting. My personal fav is the Beatles Fake Book- what a Magical Mystery Tour!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for sheet music. However, one should learn to get a feeling for what the notation represents. It's just a guide. In fact, it's quite common for players to figure out the improvisations that are not penned in the notation. These bits are in line with what the end-listener hears in the finished piece.

As a vocalist, I'm always looking for lyrics, particularly if I have to learn someone else's tune(s). It's not easy remembering the words to thousands of songs.

His Daddy was a bootlegger...who obviously asked what he could do for himself. Isn't it a curiosity that the son instructed us to do the opposite (i.e. ask what we can do for our country)?

One of the golden rules: NEVER let people make laws/rules that apply to you and not them.
