Transcribing Notes From John Neil (Head Transcriber)
Cigarette Daydreams – Cage The Elephant
All in all a very dense bass heavy production with lots of great keyboard sounds and layered vocals.
Melody
A nice multi-tracked vocal part, with the range of A2 to B4.

Keyboard
A busy keyboard part. I covered what I could with 2 hands, and though I didn’t get every part, what I wrote should work well. There are lots of cool sounds – cellos, strings, pads, and lots of piano. I laid it out so it can be played with piano, or multiple keyboards.

Lead and Rhythm Guitars
The rhythm/lead guitar covers mostly the acoustic strum (a bit more detailed than the strum guitar), except for the bridge, where it covers some keyboard parts and slide guitar parts.
