yellow ledbetter for piano

tombrady12

want to play yellow ledbetter at my wedding as we walk out on piano. I have no musical knowledge at all so.... how do i get the music sheet for it for piano?

As far as I know, there's none that you can buy. You'll have to make your own arrangement.

If you give the tabs from giventowail, they could pick out the notes. The actual chords are just E-B-A-E, but I'm not sure what scale the intro and solos are in.

You can use http://www.tabnabber.com/convert_guitar_sheet_music.asp to convert guitar tabs to sheet music. Can get the guitar tabs from a million different sites, such as http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/p/pearl_jam/yellow_ledbetter_tab.htm. But the converter needs the string names at the start of each tab line, so will take a couple of minutes to get it in the right format.

You'll have to sign up for tabnabber to get the converter working fully, but it's a simple signup. I use it to convert random songs to piano and it works well, but don't expect it to sound great. You will have to do some work on it to give it a "fuller" sound because generally the guitar tabs are only enough for one hand.

If you get it done make sure to post up a video of it being played, I would be interested to see how it comes out!

this might give some hints.....not mine, but worth a listen to how it would sound.

Also while we are on the topic of piano, does anyone have the organ part for Crazy Mary? I've seen the chord versions but never seen anything resembling the solo part

This is one of the coolest ideas I have ever seen in the pit. I wish I thought of it.

And, this is one of the coolest things I have hear in some time. Turns a tragically sad sounding song into a beautifully elegant one.

Drop the vocals and this is perfect.

Still trying to find an organist for the wedding but i think it will be a really great part of the ceremony when we walk out. Still trying to come up with a song for the wedding party intro at the ceremony if anyone has any ideas...

I'd go with the non-tradition guitar for my wedding. But that's just me.

Loop the beat to WMA for the wedding party intro. That would be pretty cool.

Yellow Ledbetter sounds best on Harp or Koto.

Its in E major, and all of hte soloing plus Mike's riff is E major blues. It seems this "problem" has been sorted, but still thought i'd try help out...to Flannel Shirt......How is YL tragic, or sad? It doesn't sound that way at all. E Major is a key that pretty much CAN'T sound sad.
