Hi all,

I'm a big progressive rock fan - love the 3 groups mentioned but for many songs simply cannot hear how to properly count with them. One great way to learn counting to tricky time signatures would be to have a recording (from a copy band - say Karaoke version or Jamzone) of the music that has the correct time signatures and/or music displayed.

Is there anyone out there similarly interested and challenged by these time signatures that has anyone come across a program or DAW that has the correct time signatures and input files for some of the groups' songs ?

If not that - how about Youtube links with musicians explaining the timing ?
(ps - I know the music of King Crimson has been transcribed and is available, but I really need to hear and see it at the same time - on that note, I wonder if anyone has input the King Crimson scores)

FWIW, RealBand will handle the tempos and odd Time Signatures
Have never tried to create a copy of their stuff, though I do enjoy it.

Those transcriptions look pretty neat.
I have a Yes printed 'anthology' book with a lot of their music

Despite the popularity and love of prog rock - and the many experienced music techies in this area, I've found very little in terms of digitized music of the greats I mention that can be listened to and analyzed in a DAW with correct time signatures.

In theory, if the transcriptions of King Crimson are accurate, is it relatively easy to buy them, input them to a music score program, and have them read and played by RealBand or any other sophisticated DAW ? On that note, do most of the DAWs out there handle odd time signatures ? I suppose same question for your Yes anthology book.

Great question, I too am a fan of prog rock; Yes, Genesis, ELP and Pink Floyd are some of my favorites.

Have you looked for Guitar Pro transcriptions?
A friend recently made me aware of this site.

The Guitar Lesson

I can’t confirm accuracy but I see
29 transcriptions for Yes
27- King Crimson
110 – Rush

The Ultimate Guitar site may also be useful, you can make song requests there if you can't find what you want.

The above combined with YouTube downloads is a ton of material to work with.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
