Hi, everyone! Since I don’t have any knowledge of playing the keyboard and I don’t know music theory, I have trouble playing by ear - specifically, I can’t identify the notes in a song. In other words, my understanding of music is limited to sensory perception, and from a technical standpoint, I have no idea what was played or how it was played. So, for quite some time now, a synthesizer part from a live performance of a Nine Inch Nails song at Woodstock has been stuck in my head. Instead of the bridge from the album version, they play a more dynamic and aggressive part where a synth comes in at a certain point. I’d really love to get the sheet music to play it, if not a video of someone playing it. Thanks)
