I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That lonely Yet) by the White Stripes
A PPHer offered to do this job for me a few days ago but it didn't work out so I'm still looking for someone to do this for me.
The tricky part is this: I don't just want to learn how to play this piece. I want to be able to play it, but I'm also interested in learning about the different ways you can improvise with the same chord progression. I want to use this piece to learn that. Because I'm just getting back into playing the piano after a long time, I'm not very good. Therefore I'm going to learn the piece by rote. That means that whatever piece of music you send me - I am going to learn to play it exactly that way. I want to play it exactly as it is in this specific recording. I want to play it exactly this way. (Sorry to be pedantic and repetitive, I'm just trying to make it clear). Therefore I need you to transcribe the piece *exactly* as it is played in this recording of the piece.
As an accomplished musician I'm sure you can play the piece well, but all musicians will interpret it differently and might change some of the notes here and there. That's the thing - I need you to please be very careful to play the piece *exactly* as it is played here, so that when I learn it by rote from your transcription, I will be learning *exactly* this version of the piece.
I originally gave the job to a professional pianist who sounded very confident. I'm sure he's a very good pianist, but he didn't listen to my request and just played a version kind of like this song, but not exactly this piece (he even deliberately left out some key notes because he thought Jack White had made a mistake in playing them - in reality the dischordant sound is deliberate, part of the bluesy feel of the song). He wasn't a blues musician and didn't get it. If he played the piece, especially singing over the top, I'm sure it would be recognisable as I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet), and would be reasonably close. He thought that was all I was after (he didn't listen to me). In reality I need an *exact* transcription of this piece with exactly the notes as they are played in this recording of the piece.
With pieces like this (kind of bluesy, maybe syncopated if that is the right word?) I appreciate that there can be slight differences in the timing, that's cool. But the notes all have to be correct.
