The Dance Of Eternity - Dream Theater | Synthesia Transcription

  • Yellow = Keyboard, Red = Guitar, Blue = Bass. The audio is from the Sibelius file. To view the sheet music, click here: • The Dance Of Eternity ...
    118 time signature changes! Omitted the first 45 seconds or so, because nothing really interesting happens. The bass solo was almost impossible to distinguish individual notes due to the overdrive on it, so this is the best I could do. Sibelius does not have a palm-muted distortion guitar sample, hence the lack of any. It also only has one decent synth sample. The drum kit part is fairly inaccurate, I couldn't be bothered making it completely authentic. Excuses, excuses.

      He uses both hands on the keyboard, pretty sure is not only yellow. I know this video mixes it with guitar and bass, but jordan does use his left hand to play on the lower octaves

  • @user-cr6lh3zm8m
    @user-cr6lh3zm8m 4 роки тому +9

    I love that's everybody in the comments doesn't know that Ruddes parts are in yellow, John Petrruci in red and John Myung in blue and they think Jordan is playing all of the three parts when actually he plays only the yellow one😂😂

    • @user-cr6lh3zm8m
      @user-cr6lh3zm8m 4 роки тому +2

      All of the crazy red things you saw in red is John Petrruci's parts, all the crazy things you saw in blue is John Myung's parts. That's why we can also see the Guitar solo, Bass solo, Guitar and Bass unison, John Petrruci's part in the keyboard guitar unison, all of this.
