I thought you might be interested in being a fly on the wall and see what the transcription process looks like. This is the last chorus of Gary Smith’s “Alviso Rock,” a song from our new CD "It Takes Three" with Gary Smith and Aki Kumar. This is in real-time and unedited... you’ll hear exactly what I heard. I use Finale for the music notation and The Amazing Slow Downer for listening to the track.

After our CD release event May 2nd (facebook.com/events/1555710131362273) the CD will be available for sale at major outlets and a full transcription set will be available for purchase at BluesHarmonica.com. Those interested in the making of the CD, from inception to recording (over eight hours of instructive footage), subscribe to BluesHarmonica.com to see this detailed Recording Study series.
