Greetings, first time poster and fairly new to playing violin started about 6 months ago, I've been trying to learning some songs as I improve and decided that the next one I would like to learn would this song:

However I've been unable to find the score for it online, I understand that it maybe a time consuming task but if anyone could score it for me I would be extremely grateful. Thanks 🙂

Ab / Fmin and improvise from there ? LOL - sounds like a fun piece to improvise to...

EDIT: there are other ways for getting to grips with something like this - download the video, extract the audio as a .mp3 file, and use some of the (free) tools for slowing-down audio (the pitch doesn't change). You can do this with Audacity, or programs like "Timestretch" amongst many others - google "mp3 slowdown"

The violin doesn't sound overly complex (other than some of it being played in a higher position I suspect) - and is something you would be able to "get-in-your-head" without recourse to sheet ? Just a thought....

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Haha, i have the album already but I'm a little tone deaf figured better for me to start with more simple songs and work my way up, here's another song but think might be a while before I'm at a good enough level
