Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2001 16:05:16 GMT Hot Rats - Authentic Trascriptions This is a BRAND NEW BOOK with Authentic Transcriptions with Notes and Tablature for HOT RATS!! This is #1 of a soon to be a huge collection. Songs from the book include, Peaches en Regalia, Willie the Pimp, Son of Mr. Green Genes, Little Umbrellas, The Gumbo Variations and It Must Be A Camel. There is a introduction by Matt Groening. COMING SOON I did the "Hot Rats" book, and as Craig says in his post, the "keyboard ensemble part" was transcribed that way because I believe it was improvised and not written. Of course, major sections of three-part horn arrangements are transcribed in the book (arranged for guitar, no less) so I think the complaining should be kept to a minimum. It would have been nice to have been furnished with charts, soloed-out tracks, etc., but alas it had to be done by ear. And obviously it's pretty silly to complain that the keyboard ensemble part is not transcribed, and then imply that it's a waste of paper to transcribe the guitar solos in their entirety because someone is not interested in learning them note-for-note. That is not really the point, as we all know. By the way, I get paid more than $25 a page to transcribe books--that fee just covers single guitar or bass parts for instruction purposes, not whole arrangements, and what gets transcribed and how is up to my discretion. Anyhow, I've always loved the "Hot Rats" album, and I'm glad it's finally transcribed! I am currently working on "Apostrophe."
