Recently Completed Music Transcription:

Tuck Andress did an impromptu interpretation of the Thelonious Monk’s classic, ‘Round Midnight on Facebook Live during “Tuck’s Tips for Guitar #42″ — @10’39” minutes. It features a lot interesting chord substitutions and little Tuck Andress-isms. It is also not that complex to play—those who know Tuck Andress’ playing will know that most of his playing is very difficult to reproduce.

  • I also do other stringed instruments such as ukulele, mandolin, banjo, violin etc …
  • I can also add vocal parts and lyrics if you want.
  • Music Transcriptions can be written in standard notation, tablature, chord symbols, chord diagrams or any combination of the above.
  • I will also arrange any music for guitar or guitars or any other instruments or combination.
How accurate are your transcriptions?
