Transcribing Notes From John Neil (Head Transcriber)
Rock and Roll Never Forgets – Bob Seger – Song Breakdown
Melody
A rocking song with the vocal range of E3-B4, with a couple of higher “Woo!”s.

Keyboard
This is the piano part, which is somewhat buried in the mix, but a couple of AI isolated tracks yielded some better listening, though still is rather buried. I wrote out the closest I could to what I hear.

Lead Guitar
There are actually 3+ guitars I hear in this, but I concentrated more on the rhythm (mostly in center of the stereo spectrum), and the left rhythm (which also does the solo). The right rhythm plays higher notes, which the piano covers pretty well.

Strum Guitar
There isn’t a strum guitar part in this recording, so a part was made up.

Bass Guitar
A very active bass guitar part that sounds like it’s played with the fingers.

Drums
Very good drumming on this, lots of drags and ghost notes revealed themselves once this part was isolated with AI.
