Justin Transcribing Moonlight Shadow Solos - Guitar Lesson Tutorial (TR-601)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2015
- I just did the rhythm for this song recently and lot of people ask me to do lessons on the solos, and about how I transcribe solos, so figured I'd film myself transcribing this for you - hope you find it of interest... it's a bit long and wasn't sure how much detail to go into.
If you let me know if you'd like to see more and what you'd like to see - more of what i write down? fretboard closeups? more detail on how I'm doing it?

Justin, this is a great video. I think it's important for folks to get a glimpse into just how much time, effort and very hard work goes into learning a song. That's just the start, then you have to plan, film and edit the video which can also take a lot longer than folks may realize. Great job bud. cheers
well said! the least we can do is support him by buying things from his online store to help him keep doing these free videos. thanks a tonne
BTW your monitors, are they Dynaudio's? if so they are very very nice, very grunty as well! used a few Dynaudio 's in studios before and they're grunt and precise
Couldn´t agree more! Right on the spot. People don´t seem to understand how much work there has been done to create a solo like this. Or a video. Of course, some, like Mr Oldfield, are more talented than others...
The proof that Oldfield is one underrated guitarist
Multi instrumentalist, artist in general
this has to be one of the most insightful guitar lesson ever!!! Thank you, Justin!!!
Even it's 7 years ago, but it's so amazing and instructive to watch you figuring out the tiny little details. I was not one minute bored - don't worry about time, I would even watch 5 hours. You are so dedicated! Super likes for this presentation!!!!!
Superb work, Justin. Thank you for all the time and effort that goes into making the lessons for us all.
It is a pleasure , as always, to watch and learn from you. Thanks man
Justin, really interesting seeing you go through this process. I picked up a copy of Transcribe a couple of years ago after I heard you mention it in one of your videos and I find it useful to learn songs, especially those with fast licks or that are not tuned to a 440 Hz concert pitch (it is much easier to alter the pitch through Transcribe than retune the guitar). The rigour and level of detail in your playing is very inspiring and I appreciate the effort you put into your lessons.
Transcribe is indeed a great little program that allows you to slow the tempo without modifying the pitch and vice versa. Very usefull for transcribing and learning to play a tune
Your best lesson so far, Justin. Keep up the good work!
Great tutorial, Justin 👍🦘 Just 9 months into my guitar journey and hearing that the ability to transcribe is a very useful skill to have. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your great lesson. This lesson really encourages me to transcribe a song. Thank you again, Justin!
Definitely an inspiration to carry on Transcribing. The lesson is fantastic and very insightful. Thanks, Justin.
Justin you are the coooooooolest!!!!!!!!! Respect mate.... Love the idea of transcribig lesson while you are doing it. Cannot get any better than this....
I had nearly forgot how good the solos are.
Thanks for reminding me.
Cheers
Max
Very nice job Justin !
Thank you for all you make since all this time ! Regularly learn guitar with your videos
Cheer from France !
This is a really good insightful lesson on what transcribing is like. I'm sure some are really unsure of what the process is like. Good on ya for putting this up.
Hey Justin, I love your work because you not only teach how to play songs, like most people, but you teach music too.
Saludos desde Sevilla :-)
Awww i love moonlight shadow solo is amazing, the live version in berlin in 1980's is sooo good.
Thanks so much. It was the bit at 45:45 that I couldn't grasp on other videos, but yours has cracked it for me.
Thank you Justin, awesome vid bro. This has helped me hugely, and I really enjoyed learning it with you.
i love this kind of lesson
Justin , zou are wonderful ! Thanks for your teaching ..
Genius at work - wonderful. Thank you
thank you so much justin.been waiting for this song a long time...awsome:)
Thanks for this! Just downloaded transcribe! and am learning the solo in Two Princes by Spin Doctors. You're giving me motivation to not just look up the tab but rather use my ears.
Brilliant video. Justin You're very talented and I think it's great that you share and take the time to help people along. I love this song and mike oldfield tbh this will come in very handy. You cover some great songs. Respect my friend
I so love this guitar solo.
This was a really helpful lesson! I hope you can do more of these in the future. it's really interesting!
I love this. Very unique lesson.
Awesome! :) I'm amazed at how fast you're actually playing along compared to myself when I'm learning a solo. Very nice video Justin, interesting to see your workflow.
Awesome job, Justin!
THX, man
This IS very interesting, I hope there will be more lessons similar to this one. Great job!
I am a Transcribe user for 10 years or so on a regular basis. I bought I bundle for my students. Couldn't live without it. Btw. Karaoke Version delivers a great addition of Backings where you can select the instrument to omit and therefore be able to be the guitarist on Moonlight Shadow i.E.:-)
Loved watching this! Really interesting
Aaaabsolutely loving this - I can play guitar but this teaching video is gold - thank you so much 🏴🙏❤️
Awesome thanks Justin!
I went to college for Music Education and never once had they mentioned transcribing! I think it's the best method for improvement and getting out of plateaus.
You can save money by transcribing too.
Great Stuff, you inspire the world.
Great! I've played fairly long. 7 years but never gotten into transcribing or ear development.
I really appriciate these videos Justin. I've been frustrated many many times, but I strongly believe this is extremely important to learn.
A little bit fun to see that you too have some trouble so we know you're human after all :)
Think you stumbled on a better way to teach solos here man. Loved it. Been watching for a long time. Keep going, boy! Thanks so much.
+Jdyke2059 Cheers dude.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH JUSTIN WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST FOR 2016
great "lesson" on transcribing. Thanks for showing how to do this!
Hey Justin, Love your tutorials, dedication and overall vibe. Seriously got into guitar earlier this year (Jan. 2017) and have always remembered the advice you gave in one of the first tutorials of yours I watched: Learn to transcribe. Well, after learning how to hold a pick, open and barre chords, all kinds of scales and strumming patterns, and many dozens of songs in both standard and alternate tunings, (yes, I am finally singing while playing) I decided I was ready to take the next logical step in my evolution and purchase transcription software (Transcribe) but wanted some info on the actual process so I Googled it and who came up? JS, with another one of his awesome tutorials! Sincere thanks for being such a generous soul, brother.
Superb------------- this is so good to see how much effort is put into transcribing a song. It would be good to see how you do chords and finger picking songs
1:05:45 hahahaha! Great video Justin, I can't believe how much patience you have to sit down and transcribe an entire solo in one sitting!
Interesting to see you doing that, Justin. We can see lot of important things. Good
thanks a lot for your hard job. I'm sure a lot of people improve to play for your videos.
very good to watch - inspired me to get the gibbo out of the hard case for first the first time in 10 years - I like your choice of songs and easy style - well done
Great tutorial Justin and defiantly learned a great deal about how to transcribe a solo. Would be great to see a Part 2 type video showing how you then input the handwritten notes into Guitar Pro
Great job...
brilliant stuff mate - very interesting
I'm a few months in to playing guitar and I'm practising hard but I realised after watching this for 10 minutes that I was sitting with my mouth wide open. lol amazing skill Justin, I'm gonna need to live to be 148 years old to get close.
It's always one of those things that isn't perhaps as fun as other things working on your ear, but it really is the most useful thing you can do.
Thanks for doing this! I was hoping youde do this someday :)
Ok, now I am sure I am not able to do this, this is some serious magic here
Coolsville Justin, a great insight to the 'art', thanks. One of my fave songs, and Maggie Reilly's voice always gives me goose-bumps...........'shot six times by a man on the run'............class, pure class. Peace out mate.
+Glen Pierce great tune eh!
Very inspirering. Love it. Greetings from Copenhagen.
+FrankHol :)
Man you're awesome!!!!
Hey Justin,
I really enjoyed this.
Would it maybe be an idea, to also do one of these videos for a rhythm guitar part, maybe a more complicated acoustic guitar song, and maybe one jazz tune, i would find that very interesting, nonetheless i enjoyed, thanks for recording all this!
Thanks for uploading this, I'm sure it will be o great help to many o us ;)
Really cool to see you figuring this out Justin. I transcribe a lot of stuff but without writing down. I generally transcribe for my own learning process, usually things I don't end up teaching in the lessons I give so I don't see the point of writing it down.
I memorise it bit by bit as a I go, rather than writing it down and memorising it from paper. I tend to download prewritten guitar pro tabs for my lessons and alter them if there is something wrong. I know some might say - what if you forget it? I learnt it from the recording, so the recording is now the source - it seems just as good to me.
Amazing lesson! Thank you very much! I would love to see same process for chord progressions :)
Depends what genre of music you're transcribing, figuring out the bass note will usually give you a good idea what the chord is
Patience and persistence!
JUSTIN GREAT JOB, GREETINGS FROM ANTWERP BELGIUM
This is really good Justin. Thanks. It reminds me of a show McCartney did some years ago, from Abby Road studios, where he showed people how songs are built. He moved from instrument to instrument laying tracks over the top of the existing 'collection' to create a song. Good job man. Good get you a full pint of ESB!
+Shamrock Rancher That would be good to see too, do you know if it's on YT or where to find it. Thanks to Justin too of coarse, Jesus parable teach a man to fish. Fishin' for notes & rhythm here...
Wolf2u I saw it on PBS. I'm sure it's on the 'net somewhere. Grab a beer and go surfing!
Paul McCartney - Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road.
i would be quite interested in how to transcribe a rhythm guitar!! much greetings germany
Great ! Saludos desde España.
Thanks for this, Justin! :) Ever since I started playing guitar I've been practising my transcribing, and I see it as one of the most important aspects of playing guitar! I've been learning from you since I started my guitar journey, and I must say you are spot on with the way you teach us and emphasise transcribing solos by ourselves rather than just having the answers handed to us! Transcribing is very hard to do at first, but with time, it gets easier and the benefits of all that hard work really pays off! I greatly appreciate the advice you have given over these last few years!
I still struggle a lot on transcribing the blazingly fast guitar parts like tapping licks, etc.. Have you got any tips for transcribing those? Even slowing it down, I find the notes get all merged into one another and distorted for me, which makes them even harder to hear, haha.
Thanks again, Justin!
you are machine!!
Great video justin it was awesome seeing you transcribing. Another thing is i think you should make the justin guitar logo little bit smaller it sort of covers your head sometimes but anyways nice video.
Hallo Justin, ich vermute, wenn Mike Oldfield Dein Video sieht, platzt er vor Stolz was sich Leute antun um eins seiner Solo´s spielen zu können. - Ich sehe gerade das Andi auch kommentiert hat, - von ihm lerne ich auch sehr viel. - Auch vielen Dank :-) Wenn es Leute wie Euch nicht geben würde, hätte ich nie wieder angefangen zu spielen. - ( 10 Jahre Pause ).Dank Euch habe ich wieder zur Gitarre zurückgefunden. - Speak in German, sorry , but i have not the right words in english :-)
Hey Justin! Love that video! I would really enjoy if you posted more videos like that one! But could you show what you are writing down? (still have a few minutes left to the video, so will see if it shows up) Thanks :D
Would really like seeing you doing this for Little Wing!
Justin are you going to make an tutorial for these solos when you learned them ? You've made a awesome work ;)
I've done a few Guitar Pro tabs back in the day. My method was to open the song in an audio editor and isolate the guitar (or other instruments) as best as possible. Something like a center cut would remove most vocals and a lot of fluff. If the guitar is panned to one side, you can isolate the channel it's mixed in too. For complex parts, you can stretch the audio out (preserving the pitch but lowering the tempo) and then highlight sections to loop in the background as you figure them out. Looping the middle of a note gives you a constant pitch, for example.
From here, I often cheated and had a guitar tuner program running in the background (set to listen to my computers Stereo Mix instead of Line In) to help identify pitches. There's definitely a benefit in the long run if you learn by ear, but for me the tab was the goal itself so I just wanted it done as quickly as possible. I'm a novice player, so I didn't even touch my guitar until I was done and needed to try different fingerings out for the tab.
I've only transcribed as a nerdy guy with a musical background and not much in the way of guitar skills, so it's great to see how a proper guitarist would do it on the fly. Cheers.
I have guitar pro 7 does it transcribe for you or do you have to buy the Transcribe software?
great great...
thats quite intresting to watch
Justin! You re a crack!!
love it
would be interested in seeing more , including the boring stuff
hard work. well done. love your vids. go ahead like this!
Wow, Great job, Man! Could you post some similar lesson about first dire straits, something like setting me up, or les boys, or Angel of mercy or whatever else you like, please??keep on rockin' Justin!! ByeMarco
Great job - thank you so much for uploading ;-)
+Bjowolf2 Easier with a capo on 4th fret, if you do finger picking, since the song is in C#minor.
Very inspirational to see how you work these rather complicated riffs out ;-)
Not far off my friend. Get this right and your set to make millions.
thanks justin. you make me want to pick up the guitar everytime after i get frustrated.
Doesn’t the transcribe software tell you what chords or notes are in the song? Thanks for all you do Justin. You must be the nicest person on the planet!
I found that working out the rhythm BEFORE the actual notes makes it easier for me... hard to explain why but its kinda like you only have to 'fill in the blanks' then.
Thanks Justin. V helpful. Do you notate the rhythm at all when you transcribe, or just the notes?
Please do video where you transcribe harmony, it is much harder for me to understand.
Love it! great to see an experienced guitarist in some transcribing action. Would you say singing the notes help? Sometimes when I transcribe i think I got the note right, but then I find out i was 1-3 frets away, but somehow i thought it's the note. Also headphones or speakers? (please answer all of these D:)
+IGarrettI singing, yes. all the time. I use speakers but have used headphones in the past.
JustinGuitar Songs Thanks! I think speakers help because you c an compare the note/chord to the song
Justin great kinda lesson¡¡ There is another great stratocaster solo that it would be great for you to transcribe whith this kind of vibe, Overkill from Men at Work, I m sure you know that song.
Justin in the software Transcibe for Mac And Windows what audio formats does it take if the audio source is come from some where else's What Audio formats do I need to save in to bring it in Transcibe to work properly?
Justin, that bit you got stuck on for a bit, I play it as a bend, release, pull-off and bend again, using the ring finger for the first bend and the index for the second one (middle finger on the B string).
Great lesson! Is that a Lonestar by any chance?
Thanks for that Justin, very informative. Just out of interest have you watched the video on UA-cam as I'm sure it shows some of the guitar stuff and it's two guitars bouncing off each other.
Do you normally transcribe from the monitors? I have to get it as close to my ears as possible. Always transcribe in headphones. I go straight into Guitar Pro too to make it easier to change positions where necessary. Nice to see how you do it.
+Ry Naylor Guitar pretty much always from monitors. I prefer pen and paper first and then into GP or Sib.
+JustinGuitar Songs
Justin, you transcribe in the same way as I do! Always a pen / pencil in your hand, a piece of paper, the guitar on your lap and the computer in front of you (in my case an iPad with the awesome app "Anytune") ! Sometimes I use headphones because it can be very difficult to hear the notes correctly with cheap speakers...
But with a difference: you don't annoy your parents or your brother! :D
Thank you for showing us your way of transcribing! :)
Since you mention it in the beginning, when the tune is not in 440 Hz, how to determine the pitch (when your ear is not good enough or you don't want to spend too much time (and rhere are not notes or bars long enough to match your tuning, or there's too intricate chord-work))? Is there an app that does the job (like 443 Hz or +10%)?
Hey justin thank you again for the valuable information, I love your work. I'm wondering if you could do Queen 'let me live' as the solo has a pinch harmonic and see this as an awesome opportunity to get them going 😊
+SilentVoices Mason Maybe, certainly due some Queen stuff.
I'm curious Justin, seems like you listen to the note, know exactly what note it is already and then play it on the guitar. For a beginner like me, I can't listen to a note and know what note it is (A, B, D, etc), is it okay if I just play random notes until I hear one that sounds the same or similar?
Hey Justin, is there any way to access this transcription?
This is actually really cool. It can be a real bitch sometimes to transcribe solos, so thanks for all your hard work.
+JakobM16 cheers!
Well, know I know what I'll be dreaming tonight haha
