Read the rules, which have been moved to a Stickied post at the top of the subreddit.
We encourage you to try transcribing yourself, if you can! It's a fantastic way to develop your ear and theory knowledge, and even if you get stuck it'll be easier for others to help if you already have a starting point. Some useful tools:

I'm really unskilled about playing by ear or transcribing, even though I can consider myself as good musician. What I ask you to help with is this song. Preferably notes, but chordes would also be a great support. Big thanks, anyway.😀
DM me your price, I can play a bit of it by ear but I find myself so stuck on a lot of parts also. I'd like to have this transcribed as straight notes for violin, time signature and all as I prefer reading sheet music. Looking forward for help. Thank you!

Hi! If someone could help with a transcription of the following clip I‘d be very happy. Preferably notes, but I‘ll try to make it work with the chords as well ;) It‘s a short piece by Kiefer which he posted on Instagram. Cheers and have a good day!

Hey all, this is an awesome page!
There's this song https://youtu.be/5ewtlndXG_w?si=q2EHA0A-RWjnRfVb
I would absolutely love to learn the chords for it. I'm desperate for the two (?) chords that make up kost of the song. The bridge is would also be great, but the two, oh boy
Lots of love!
Does anyone know the chords/notes after the lyrics “Permiating even Switzerland it goes…”
I’m a beginner with piano and not familiar with music theory.
Hi my friends! I'd love to ask you some help as I'm working on an idea.
Basically the question is this: in 'City Love' by John Mayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8akf1hGPJjI- there's this interlude (2.00 ish) where he sings the line "Falling asleep to the sound of sirens" and I need to figure out the chords he plays. I think is a Gmaj7, do you agree?
The second question is for 'Talk show host' by Radiohead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgaj5suTCgk there's the bridge part, at like 0.34, and i can't figure out che vibrato chord and that simple, simple riff over it. I guess I'm just overthinking it... so I'm waving out for help!
Would love to sing and play a cover of this song but having trouble getting the chord transitions.

Willing to pay (Venmo, zelle, PayPal) for this!
I was wondering if anyone could help me with transcribing sheet music for the opening section in this video, or possibly writing down the chords would be helpful as well.
I'm interested only in the beginning part of the video, about first 25 seconds.
name your price or pls find it, preferably key of C
The whole song is real cool, give it a listen. But the part I’m specifically talking about starts at 1:45. Any help would be greatly appreciated! It’s been stuck in my head all week haha
does anyone maybe has a lead sheet for the song: TARDE from wayne shorter anywhere? maybe has it in own files or found ut somewhere?
Yt link to the song

I've only figured the first chord which seems to be an A in standard tuning.
Much appreciated wizards!
I write arrangements (mostly for my own work as a vocalist but occasionally have been paid to do them for others) but honestly I think I work very slowly.
For example, writing a vocal and piano chart currently, the piano is very repetitive so got that down in about 40-50 minutes for the whole song but in total have spent now two hours and I’m probably half way through the vocal line. After polishing it up etc the reality is this will probably total five plus hours on what harmonically is a simple song. Does this get better with more practice and I’m just a very slow worker? Or is this not too far off how long making accurate charts/arrangements actually takes and I need to be more patient? Also here for any tips on how to speed up the process.
Hello everyone!
I'm looking for someone to help transcribe this entire minimalist piano piece by Scott Buckley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYCSvbIjm7g
The request is solely for the piano part only.
Since this is a long piece, I'm aware it'll require an investment of your time so I'd love to get ideas on pricing! I've played piano for over a decade, but I struggle when it comes to the transcription process.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
EDIT: A kind transcriber has already reached out! This request is no longer open.

I want to sing this song for an audition and figured I could mock up my own sheet music easy enough. Here's what I threw together for the progression, but I know the chord voicings are little more nuanced. I'd also like to rhythm to flow a little more like the recording. Any help would be much appreciated.
I'd also be willing to throw a few bucks if anyone could write out the basic vocal line.
Look for the article called "Symphonic Hearing: Mastering Harmonic Dictation Using the Do/ Ti Test"
It proposes a full method for mastering harmonic dictation, a skill which allows one to identify what chords they're hearing in a given chord progression.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a link because reddit doesn't allow it and my post would get deleted.
It seems great to go along or after learning melodic dictation.
I never see this method mentioned anywhere on youtube or reddit. Everyone talks about hearing the bassline, but apparently that can lead to mistakes, and also it's often hard to hear.
Lots of people just know immediately what chord they're hearing without listening to the bassline, or rather what its function is (I or tonic, V or dominant etc) and I'm interested in learning that.
But these people often don't really know how they got that skill, they say that it just "clicked" at some point. It seems to happen often to music teachers, like guitar teachers who need to play songs over and over and show their students. People who play lots of different songs and emphasize verbally what chords they're playing.
But perhaps the method in this article could make it easier and faster to get there. I'm aware it takes a very long time to become good. I'd just like to be efficient about it, which is reasonable.
Has anyone experimented with it ? Does anyone know about it or teach it ?
I'd like people who are struggling like me to learn harmonic dictation to try it and we could update each other and progress together ! Let me know if you're interested.
It would be great if it helped people learn easier and faster

Looking for a split channel transcribe that covers:
Lead (theramin / plucks? Might be better as two channels)
Pads (Synth Chords)
Bass Guitar
Electric Guitar
Arpeggiating Synth
I'll handle drums myself for the remix
Will also credit whoever can help out with this.
Should be fairly straightforward, I just know someone here could transcribe this faster than I could, so I'll save some time for other projects and happily pay out $20 if someone can knock this out with hopefully minimal effort
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone can help me pick out the harp melody in the background of The Others by Alejandro Amenábar from 0:26-0:56. Any help most appreciated!
Or should I just use the video? Is that “cheating”? I can’t really hear them just from the song. What would most people into transcribing do?
The song is Ataraxia Tunnels by Mare Cognitum (link starts at chords in question). I have the entire song already transcribed (I can provide the whole tab if you'd like), but I'm totally lost on the chords in the verse here. I'm certain what I transcribed for this part is wrong unfortunately. Tuning is C Standard. Thanks!
Looking for the chords for this:
