hey man, great job as always, i´ve finished thst bloodbourne arrangrment, yet i can´t play it (long story). On another note, and i know this will sound very newbish of me but how exactly do i find the key signature for a song? By chords/progression? by scale?
Dark Lullaby In most cases I go by scale, which I get by making out a part of the melody and through this part of the melody determining the base note of the scale. Once you have the scale you know which chords are likely to appear and what sound/feeling corresponds to which chord. In some cases, especially in some of the Dark Souls pieces, there are pretty fast and unexpected scale changes (e.g. 2 bars and then the next scale) and here I just go through the chords when it's not immediately apparent which scale the part is in, and determine which scale it is after I have the whole part down. (Having the right scale in the sheets also helps the player, because the signs and chords make more sense than they would otherwise.) Oh, and if I happen to have sheet music (which rarely happens), I use the method Vicious described ^^
Pretty nice melody, really like it
Utamaru Thanks man!

Vicious oh, i know how to read them on sheets, i meant how to know them when transcribing a piece by ear
