**Alternative, Baby** - Reel Big Fish

Transcribed for trumpet

-----------------------

Seeing as how I've never seen this done before in simple

text format, I had to figure out a decent way to write

down the songs. This is what I came up with.

1. The notes you should play are indicated by the appropriate

letters.

2. No note lengths - just number of times played. You *should*

be able to figure out when and how long notes are played. They

do this in guitar tabs, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem.

3. Sharps are indicated by a "+", flats by a "-".

4. Octaves - To indicate octaves, I use numbers. 1 refers to

the lowest octave of a note, 2 the next, 3 and so on. So, super

low f sharp (fingered 123) would be +f1.

5. A short set of notes surrounded by parentheses, followed by

a "*" and a number means to play that phrase that number of times.

Here goes.

That's it. If you find any errors, or you have any suggestions
