Transcribing Notes From John Neil (Head Transcriber)

Melody

I made it all 1 vocal line, including most of the backing vocals and lead vocal ad libs, even though they play together sometimes. This song was apparently originally going to be about wishing he could turn his brain on and off like a light switch. Charlie Puth then twisted it into what it is now, being turned on by a hot girl.

Keyboard

LOTS of keyboards going on in this song, and I tried to cover the important parts with one part. This can be played on piano, or keyboards, with the sounds described.

Guitars

There is a definite guitar part, and a possible guitar or keyboard part which I also did with guitar, doing it Capo 2 to make some voicings easier. Productions like this make it sort of vague where guitar/bass and synth draw the line, especially with guitar synthesizers being readily available these days.

Strum

Having no actual strum in the song, the part was made up for easy guitar and Ukulele.
