Luigi's Mansion 2 Level Clear Theme sight-read and improvised by Tom Brier transcription

Published 2023-11-02
This transcription took several hours a day for almost a week to do, easily the hardest one I've done yet, the original video isn't very short and rather low quality. These factors however are not as big as the tempo and time signature changes all throughout the performance, and the general difficulty of transcribing something like this, it's also my first time transcribing a performance of Tom. I was simply looking for something to transcribe, and since this video of Tom improvising hasn't been transcribed yet so I decided to pick it. For the most part I put in a lot of effort and made sure the transcription is as close to the original as I can make it, and it turned out mostly that way, but my experience and knowledge are limited so there are some mistakes, and some differences from the original performance I put in deliberately. So this video can actually be played alongside the original, and it will be in sync, but not for the duration of the entire thing. I originally wanted them to be compatible, but I realized doing that is sort of hard and doesn't make sense for some parts. Tom also makes mistakes, some are clear in terms of how to correct them but others are not. In some cases it's really hard to tell what exact notes are being played but in those cases there's plenty of "good enough" options of what to put in the score. But if you believe there are some big mistakes I made that are correctable, don't hesitate to tell me about it, I would appreciate it. Even if transcribing this was hard, I pushed through because this is one of my favorite videos of Tom, the piece and the improvising are on top.
I'd like to thank @fireb0xes938 for helping me out in some parts of the transcription. Check out his channel / @fireb0xes938 .
