**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.
