Hello,

I wonder if someone here have done a transcription from weather report's 'where the moon goes' ? Any help will be really much appreciated...

Thanks,

Cristianu

Figure it out yourself. Just listen to it a lot. I am giving you the most help. It's in 3 or 6 depending on how you look at it.

Omar is just sick playing this stuff...jeez.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your advices... I feel it in six personally and yes i listen to it a lot for sure ! But this one is particularly a hard one for me...

Thanks again,

Cristianu

The whole song is a groove until the end section, which has synth hits. That's what needs to be transcribed. It almost sounds like they were added after the drum track was recorded, like they were overdubbed to Omar's improv. Maybe, maybe not. Also, the melodic lines in the song are phrased over the bar, making it challenging to play with them. I imagine if you did a bunch of gigs with them, those parts could be incorporated with the groove. I do not know much about this song other than listening once to it.
If you are having trouble playing the groove, don't listen to the drums. Lock in on the bass. And listen a hundred or more times to it.

And then I saw the live version. Yikes.

Pretty sure it's a repeating pattern, if memory serves.
