I wish to pay someone to help me out with a small task. Use your Chord Wizard to turn my MP3 into a Midi track. I don't yet know how to set the bars and such, since I'm new to BB. I'll gladly pay $50 via PayPal to anyone who will do this for me.

Check out the link below to listen to the song. It's just a simple piano track. I would like to remove the vocals.

Well, I guess we are all waiting to see what can be done. And don't let me stop anyone from jumping in.

But the chords to this old Rascal tune are very simple and could easily be imput into BIAB without going through the Chord Wizard. Trick will be to find a style and then arrange to match the performance in the video. That's how i would do it....



---likely won't line up well, but here goes.....

alternating D and G (or try alternating D, Dsus for same vibe)
I've been lonely too long
I've been lonely too long

Chorus 1:

Bm Em
In the past days come and gone
Bm Em F#m G A
I feel like I can't go on without love

alternating D and G
I've been lonely too long (he been lonely too long)
I've been lonely too long (he been lonely)

Verse 1:

D Bm
As I look back
D Bm
I can see me lost and searchin'
D F#m G Em F#m G A
Now I find that I can choose, I'm free oh, yeah
Bm Em
So funny I just have to laugh
Bm Em F#m G A
'Cause all my trouble's been torn in half

alternating D and G
| I've been lonely too long (he been lonely too long)
| I've been lonely too long (he been lonely)

The Vancouver Piano Real Track should help with this.

Combine with Norton Fake Book #13 and someone is on the way to a free dinner (or the price of the fake book)....

I wouldn't mind taking this project on, but .... so much music and so little time.

That's pretty funny actually (the link above). You can probably get this tune without the lyrics a whole lot of different places.

Play-along series, Karaoke, etc.

I'm not going to look for you, but I have quite a few Hal leonard Play-alongs that are like this. As a matter of fact, HL has Play-alongs for just about every tune ever written. LOL
