Transcribing Notes From John Neil (Head Transcriber)
Forever Young – Brandi Carlile – Song Breakdown
Keyboard
A nice piano part played very expressively. I added a lot of the dynamics, but it’s up to the player to make it his/her own. One thing that seems to occur a lot is between lines of singing, the piano gets louder for a bit, sort of taking over the focus. Being a song with the left and right hand so close together, it’s hard to tell exactly which hand is playing which note, so there may be some inconsistencies in chord voicings, etc. This can be modified by the player, as long as all the notes are covered. It’s also important to use the sustain pedal as noted, so the notes blend together correctly. The player can also hold notes through the sustained parts per their discretion.
