WB Dream Theater Keyboard Anthology Info

[ProgTKeys]

Ok,

As many of you may have noticed from the Wizard's Log recently, there is a new keyboard anthology book on the way very soon. Since it is almost finished, I thought I would post more specfic info for the book. First of all, the song list is:

Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
Wait for Sleep
Learning to Live
6:00
Scarred
Overture 1928
Through My Words
Fatal Tragedy
Beyond This Life
Finally Free
The Great Debate
excerpts from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (more info down below)
Endless Sacrifice
Vacant
Stream of Consciousness

Hopefully, this will provide some satisfaction for all of you who have been waiting for some quality transcriptions of Dream Theater songs. All the songs were transcribed by myself, with tremendous assistance by Jordan Baker (Bakerman), who has faithfully edited all the transcriptions to make sure there are no mistakes anywhere!!!! :D Jordan Rudess is also looking over all the transcriptions and providing fingerings for some of the more technical sections.

One of the other new additions to this book will be a new lead notation style that I have been experimenting with on the new Online Conservatory. Essentially, this notation tries to convey all the necessary information needed to play a keyboard lead; namely, sounding pitches, physically played pitches, and controller info such as the pitch wheel and ribbon.

With regards to the excerpts from Six Degrees, we are including the most important keyboard sections from About to Crash through Solitary Shell. In general, this covers many of the main themes present in the songs as well as the keyboard leads.

I think this book is a very exciting prospect for keyboardists! Jordan's personal involvement in the project and his assistance in providing MIDI's and patches mean that this should be one of the most accurate transcription books to date. I will post more info regarding the book's release once that is finalized.

Just to add my two cents - I've witnessed the creation of this book and you all are gonna love this - Chris and Jordan (Baker) have spent a tremendous amount of time and energy ensuring that this will be an incredible product. Wait till you guys see some of the notation for the solos - it looks like someone just threw black ink all over the page! The accuracy is astounding - one thing in particular that I freaked out at when I saw it is the "psycho" part in Stream of Conciousness, which contains 64th note 9-tuplets at one point! JR personally went over a lot of the stuff with Chris a few weeks ago while he was out here in AZ and to have his direct involvment in the process is really gonna put the icing on the cake with regards to how good the scores are...

Ryan

[Bakerman]

Chris summed up the book nicely so I'll just say that I've had a lot of fun working on it and think you'll all like it too. I could use phrases like "best book ever" but I'll post a sample and let the work speak for itself:

http://s92612683.onlinehome.us/keybooksample.jpg

Time signatures, notes, dots, vibrato, it's all there. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It's the best book ever. I would recommend it to a friend.

[Enigma™]

I'd like to add that it's an amazing work. I can't believe all they've done. Incredible! Fantastic!


I mean, c'mon. Really. How in the WORLD could this be a bad book? I mean, there's a VIBRATO MARKER THERE!!! WOW!!

You guys are going to be amazed with this peice of work.

I'm simply in shock.

Actually I haven't seen it yet, but that vibrato marker impressed me. Unlike those Shinko ones... Those were HARDLY impressive whatsoever!.

[The White Raven]

WOW

that book will rock


but i hoped that more songs would be there and classical DT songs from

FII as hollow years...anna lee.....TRIAL OF TEARS and others very good

songs like funeral for a friend and space-dye vest


but it's impossible to have all the songs in one book

arturo

[Ratman]

I'm sooo buying that :D

[Bastardo Demono]

wish it had space dye vest- but damn this is looking good, its got my abe lincolns alright

[Kurzweilfreak]

This book seems like it would be imcomplete without Space Dye Vest and Wait for Sleep. :(

[MindCrime]

Hi!
What good news!!!! I bought the first Anthology book and I'm very pleased with it (specialy the songs transcribed by guys here ;-)).
I dreamed of this kind of book for ages!
So thank you so much for your work guys!
Is it possible to join with the book notation files (I think you have done it with Sibelius) as a CD or through a secured server? I joined the OC few weeks ago and I'm very pleased with MP3, notation (PDFs, I would prefer sibelius or Finale files too ;-)) and midi...
Keep on the good work!
I will buy thses book the day of its release for sure!
MindCrime.
PS : Wait for sleep and Beyong This Life : waow!!! I did transcriptions of WFS and parts of BTL for me but having the REAL ones : waow waow waow!!!
PPS : Dear Jordan Baker, a HUGE thank you for your midis. A little question about BTL solo : as I imported it into notation app, the solo is in 8/8 : don't you think it's 4/4 as written in the guitar tab edition of SFAM?

[Mr. Make Believe]

ROCK ON!!!

Can't wait, I was a bit dissappointed by the mistakes that were in the Full Score Anthology. The only accurate transcriptions in that book came from these guys.. I always wondered why they didn't got the oppertunity to do the entire full score anthology... but hey... This will make the Full score anthology fade to black... EXCELLENT!!!

[sam]

Really can't wait for it!!!!! when will it will avaible??? expensive or cheap, really I don't matter!!!!
great work dudes!!!!! congratulations, I was weating for something like that for years!!!

SAM

[maJ estY]

Who said Funeral for a friend? *lol* That is an Elton John Cover, man!!! :roll:

[maJ estY]

Two questions:

1) Are finger settings included?
2) Where will it be sold? I mean, only in the net or even in stores?

[SHP]

So *this* is the reason why we haven't seen any B-man transcriptions recently :)
Gotta get this book BTW

[Lyngs]

1) Are finger settings included?

--->

Jordan Rudess is also looking over all the transcriptions and providing fingerings for some of the more technical sections.


:wink:

[maJ estY]

Yeah thanks Lyngs, I have read that ;) , but I wanted to know if there are also finger settings for the rest, the "for the wizards not difficult but for newbies like me difficult" parts :D

[Tabs]

maJ estY,

I think the book assumes a certain level of proficiency on the instrument... (you are trying to play Dream Theater after all!) There's not going to be fingerings included for every single thing. The most difficult stuff that Chris, bakerman, and JR think people will have the most trouble trying to learn are the sections where you'll find fingerings. I'm not a keyboardist myself, but I assume that fingerings on keyboard are kinda subjective the same way they are on guitar - more than one way to skin a cat in other words. :D

Ryan

[maJ estY]

Yes, you're right. I can ask my question regarding fingering here anyway. ;)

[Bakerman]

Hi!
Is it possible to join with the book notation files (I think you have done it with Sibelius) as a CD or through a secured server? I joined the OC few weeks ago and I'm very pleased with MP3, notation (PDFs, I would prefer sibelius or Finale files too ;-)) and midi...

Probably not too likely on the downloadable scores thing- It's up to Warner Bros. how they want to make it available (publishing rights) and for now it's just the book.

The part with 8/8 in the midi is alternating 9/8 and 8/8- I used 1/2 the tempo of the book which had 4/4 5/5 4/4 4/4 for that section. I don't remember why I did that instead of 9/8 4/4, I guess it was easier to change only 1 # of the time sig every bar.

[rtype]

I'm sure I'll pick this book up but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to play much from it. :)

Maybe you guys could put "Pull Me Under" in the conservatory so there'd at least be parts of a song us newbs could aspire to someday play. (no offense, Kevin)

[merijn]

Grea Great stuff! Can;t wait till it comes out!

[The White Raven]

Who said Funeral for a friend? *lol* That is an Elton John Cover, man!!! :roll:

oh! youre right

i forgot that ACOS was a album with covers

PS: but still funeral for a friend is a very good song

[The White Raven]

can i send Space-Dye Vest score so you can add it to the book??

[Bakerman]

No. Nothing personal, even if we could let people submit stuff, we reached the page limit WB set so it will have to wait for a possible Vol. 2 book. Feel free to post whatever you have online if you want to share it with people. :-)

Don't worry

I understand you


PS: it's only a 5 pages transcription....are you shureit doesn't fit in??

[FloS7]

WAOU ! What a great news it is !! I'm so excited ! I can't wait for it anylonger...
Thanks to all who have done this anthology book!!!
And where can we find some midis and sheet music before buying this tremendous book ?
Flo

[Tal Rudess]

I'll definitely buy it :D

[etrangepulpe]

I would like to know, are there keyboard transcriptions only or other instruments along ?

Contrary to what my question would lead you to think, I'm more interested if there is keyboard only :)

[Bakerman]

Keyboard + vocals only.

[maJ estY]

Having the vocals too is good, because you know where you are then ;)

[King_Ellesar]

Man, i cant wait. I want it sooo bad!


I'm sure I'll pick this book up but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to play much from it. :)

Maybe you guys could put "Pull Me Under" in the conservatory so there'd at least be parts of a song us newbs could aspire to someday play. (no offense, Kevin)

There are other DT songs that are possible for newbies. IMO, there are allot of them. I found that you just have to spend time on certain stuff. Like the DOE ragtime solo, i could barely play it at 100bpm, but i gave it a couple of weeks and brought it up to speed! i think if your looking for DT songs that you can pick up right off the bat, you may be limited. but if you spend some time with them and enjoy it while doing that, you may suprise yourself! i did :wink: id hate to repeat the cliche, but practice makes perfect! :D

[mmvrs09]

Awesome...so is there a target release date?

[Enigma™]

Probably as soon as possible I'd suspect. When it's out, I'm gunna get them to hook me up too. I want in on dat shiet :)

[koma666]

Im reallay looking forward to see the riffs jordan is playing along with the guitar. That is something I am interessted in. Sure the other things are also cool, but sometimes when JR plays the riff with JP you are not sure if the keyboard is playing, especially on the new album (maybe because of the mix!)

marc

[Bakerman]

Up...

Not much new to report here- I haven't heard an official release date yet, but we're real close to finishing all the transcription/editing work, so in a matter of days it will be up to Warner Bros. to set a date and get it produced and out there, as we wait with everyone.

Marc- JR's playing along with about 95% of the riffs if there's not another independent key part- off the top of my head the only ToT riffs he doesn't double are the first part of AIA before the tempo change, the "Come to me my friend" part of TDS, the new tempo ES riff right after the 2nd chorus, and the first time the ITNOG heavy riff occurs (drums enter).

[David]

Sounds great!

This is a "must have"!
I will buy it, no doubt about it. :D


/David

[Lyngs]

\m/

[koma666]

8)
Thanks Bakerman!

But how did you hear all the "guitar" parts he is playin? I mean some times its relay hard to make it out if there is a keyboard doubling the guitar.
Or did Jordan give you some hints?



marc

[Bakerman]

We have keyboard-only mixes of a lot of songs and for most of the ones JR played on, MIDI files as Chris mentioned. The MIDIs don't always have all the parts and sometimes have stuff that's definitely not on the album, so there's some work involved in just deciding what the real parts are in the first place.

Helpful tools aside, I think it's still possible to pick out a lot of the doubled riffs right from the CD if you listen for a click or buzz or anything you wouldn't expect to hear consistently from a guitar playing a riff. AIA has the keys mixed to the left on most of the riffs, so if you try panning back and forth you can compare and see if you can hear what it adds to the sound.

[koma666]

Thanx for the answer.

The only thing I wonder now, If I am supposed to ask that, dont you have a regular job?
I mean hey, your transcribing all that stuff (and Im sure you have some kind of deadline for it). So do you seriously have a job beside? :wink:

I mean the transcriptions I made just took me hours! :!:

marc


by the way: do you need a cover artwork for that stuff?

[Bakerman]

Right now I don't really have another job but I'd be glad to share some details about my recent work and plans for the near future. (Typing this now as I've finished the post, it's longer than I planned but I'm glad you asked, it made me think a little more about a few things.)

I've been doing quite a few things for Chris & Ryan/Tabs' company (Progressive Transcriptions) over the past few months including songs for JR (DT cover songs + some ToT key parts), some piano/vocal sheets for a musical, assorted other little projects, and of course editing this book. I applied (sent in requested audition transcription) to work for Guitar One magazine a few weeks ago and I heard back, but it wasn't a real answer- they were just letting me know they got it and will call again sometime (or not I guess).

I should mention that Chris put the most work into the book- I just looked over and edited stuff, except for the ES mallet/organ/lead solos and the SoC piano/lead section which I happened to have done already for JR, so those same ones will be in the book. The last I heard was that we'd be listed in the same credit like "transcribed by" or "transcribed & edited by...", so now you have that fun fact of excactly who did what.

As for other stuff, I do some things for the township when needed since my friend's dad is the parks/rec commissioner. Working at the hockey rink/rec center in the winters and doing some spring/summer jobs like clearing trees for various reasons, keeping xc ski trails and the beach/park area on a nearby lake looking good, stuff at the ballfield.

I'll probably go to the resort I've worked at before and see if they're doing any major repairs or roofing and work a few weekends there over the summer too, but I don't really want to be up there 5-6 days a week (an hour away from here) like the other years. Sometimes it just sucks when you know there's something going on with your friends back home that one day of the week but you have to work the next morning. My family has a cabin on the same lake 2 miles down the road so that works out nicely for having a place to stay.

Band situation: I would have liked to keep gigging with my first real band but we haven't played in over a year since everyone's been kind of busy doing different stuff, the singer had his 2nd kid and bought a house 3 hours away, etc... I ran into a drummer I know a couple weeks ago and he said that he got a whole CD of material recorded (he plays gtr/bass/keys/sings too and recorded it along w/ the bass player/singer from his old band), and was looking to book some gigs for the summer and asked if I wanted to learn the stuff and play gtr with them.

So there's the basic story of what's going on for me right now- I'm hoping that the transcribing jobs keep coming in, and if the other things work out that would be nice, especially the band. Last summer I worked nights at Walmart and ended up not doing a whole lot other than sleeping during the day, or sitting around in the evenings thinking "damn, only x hours until I have to leave for work". I barely remember anything specific from May-August other than my 21st birthday, waterskiing once, and staying a couple days at my friend's cabin. Not to say that it was terribly depressing or tough or anything like that, but I'm definitely going to make a point of doing something with friends whenever I have free time this summer, playing more music, writing some songs, playing scrabble :evil: , and if I start to run out of money then I have no choice but to find another job but I'd like to not worry about that until late summer/fall, and maybe then the transcribing work will be going nicely and I'll be more sure I want to keep doing it for some time.

[koma666]

To Jordan (Bakerman):

Well somehow I m happy you dont work cause that would mean that your just way to f**** good in music when you really have the time to transcribe that stff beside you job.
Well and otherwise its sad your not happy though.

But hey! I am working all day long and have to manage with my music(own stuff), my band, my friends and my girlfriend. So its kind a hard too.
No time to do anything else.

Hmm the stuff you said about not beeing realy in a band made me think of something.
Maybe you have a little bit time and maybe you also would be interested in making some music. A year ago I had the idea of composing some keyboard oriented music. But I thought it would be interesting to do it with someone else. Ive got a little studio (Computer/Cubase SX2/Korg Triton/KN200/GEM Promega2/variety of sampling programs and VST instruments)
So maybe your are interested in sharing files and creating some great stuff together.

[Ael]

Okay, so after reading this thread I'm really excited...and maybe I missed it but I have a few questions...

When do you think it's possible this will be out?
How much?
MIDI cd with this? or some type of audio cd to play along with?

This is going to be freaking awesome I can't wait...btw I have a question will you be putting in the whole songs or just specific parts of the songs?

Also, does anybody have accurate notation for the opening to Learning To Live (if not all of it?) the midi on DT.net is badly arranged and I can't split the tracks.

[Lyngs]

Georges has made a really good one of the most interesting parts.

And if you use Sibelius, then I've transcribed the whole thing.

1. No release date yet - that's up to Warner...

2. Should be around the same amount as guitar books are - I'd guess $24.95.

3. No CD included - that gets into a whole quagmire of legal problems because the other guys in the band would have to make royalties off it etc.

4. Learning to Live is in the book and should be as close to fully accurate as it's ever gonna get... ;)

[hephiroth]

i cannot WAIT for this book!!! it's going to be so awesome :lol: :) :D :) :lol:

omg, learning to live is my favorite DT song--this rocks that it's included!

-Jeff-

[Mitt]

Hi,

I'm new on this forum ! I'm from France !!! The DT Keyboard Anthology will be a fantastic book of ressources for DT and JR fans like me !!! I cannot wait for this !!!!!!!!!

:twisted:

[hephiroth]

welcome! and yes, the book will be awesome!

-Jeff-

[Mitt]

Thanks ! Jordan is the most amazing player for me !! He's the MASTER :D :wink:

[Ael]

Definitely...does anyone have a good Learning to Live midi? I have Finale/Cakewalk/Sibelius...so whatever format has the most easy to read keyboard part would be good.

[Bakerman]

According to the latest JR newsletter there's now a projected release date:
-----
-Dream Theater Keyboard Anthology-

Finally, we are pleased to announce that you will soon be
able to own accurate notation of many of Dream Theater's
greatest keyboard moments in the form of a new book to be
released by Warner Publishing. The estimated release will be
at the beginning of July.

[The White Raven]

THANKS JB FOR DOING ALL THIS POSSIBLE

without you i'm sure the KA have never been released

[Bakerman]

Actually it would have been released without me. Chris and JR are the ones who have been in touch with WB and spent hours on the phone going over fingerings and other details. Other than that slight correction thanks for all the interest. I'd like to think I did everything possible to help things be more accurate and move along quickly and I'll be glad to take a little credit for any good this book brings to the world. :-)

[Wizard]

Will there be indications of at least the category of sounds used by Jordan?

Martin

[Haagi]

Hope I learn to read sheet music fast so I don't have to wait forever to play the songs in the book... I'll have that as a goal: Someday withn the next two years I will be able to play all the songs in the book... How's that for a goal, guys??

[Bakerman]

Will there be indications of at least the category of sounds used by Jordan?

Yes, there are patch names throughout every song, and indications when a patch or layer sounds an extra octave higher/lower.

I should have said projected month rather than date, since there's nothing final set by WB yet. I'm not sure if books are always released on a certain day of the week like CDs or just whenever they get shipped, but hopefully beginning of July will end up meaning within the first week.

[maJ estY]

All I know is that books are released on any day of the week here in Germany, while CDs are always released on Mondays (which means one day EARLIER than in the USA :twisted: )

[enb141]

I just can say WOW, WOW, WOW.

I hope the your special "synth tab" will be a future reference as TAB is for the guitars

[Georges]

4. Learning to Live is in the book and should be as close to fully accurate as it's ever gonna get... ;)

Should not be too much of a challenge given the many resources such as previous DT books, previous MIDIs and Bakeman's patience and time to transcribe every note. However, I am looking forward to the JR era transcriptions.

As for WFS, did you at least transcribe the live version from the DTIFC IAW CD ?

[Bakerman]

As for WFS, did you at least transcribe the live version from the DTIFC IAW CD ?

Nope, the book will have the album version. I haven't heard that one, was it similar to WFS on Live in Tokyo?

[Georges]

It had some great tranquillo piano intro and the song figures were slightly modified compared to the album version. I really don't remember if it was the same as in the Tokyo video (gotta check). Could be ...

[Haagi]

I really need to learn sheet music...

[mrbeekle]

helllo, i am a new member here. this book sounds fantastic. exactly what i want. when will it be available. will it be available in england, or only on the internet?

[mrbeekle]

in the anthology book, will it have all of the song of the songs it has, baiscally will the synth part be there for the whole song , or just the main synth solos from each of the songs????

[Bakerman]

All key parts in each song, except for the selections from SDOIT part. No release date set other than it sounds like early July is still the plan. If Warner Bros. books are sold at your local store you should be able to find or order this one through them.

[siebenboy]

This is gonna be great. I will have never bought a better book of any kind :D . Any idea on how much it's gonna cost? Just so i can be ready... :wink:

Also, (i know this has absolutely nothing to do with this subject, but does anyone know when i should get my free poster that comes with pre-ordering An Evening With JP & JR ?... It's been a couple weeks already).

Tank you

[mrbeekle]

u say its gonna have the main synth parts from six degrees regarding about to crash through to solitary shell. do u mean only snyth or keyboards in general, baiscally would it have like the opening "piano" in about to crash and the main piano solos in goodnight kiss and solitary shell. has the book got piano parts as well or just synth lead parts???
thanks
Pete

[Bakerman]

Those piano solos will be in there, plus some other synth parts. The rest of the book will have piano, synth, everything, full songs. Not sure on the price, probably around $25. Here are the sections of SDOIT included if you're interested. Please don't hate the book if a part you like was excluded :-)

[Georges]

Not sure on the price, probably around $25.

Geez, that's almost too cheap. Sounds like a very fair price. 8)

[mrbeekle]

also, is the book notation or something like that, because is u go to http://jordanrudess.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2617&highlight=anthology
then someone says "or this is an example of what the new anthology book will be like". of course what is on that page is no possible to play, i dont know exactly what it is, what will this book be like, just normal score for keyboard surely (with extra modulation marks and stuff et)????

[Bakerman]

It's standard notation with lines above indicating pitch wheel movement to make things a little more clear on held bends and stuff like that. Not quite as complex looking as that joke transcription.

[mrbeekle]

what is standard notation?? just like normal music books for piano? what is it??

[Bakerman]

Yes, like other piano scores/books.

[mrbeekle]

ok cool, i cant wait :D:D:D, is the release date still early july as far as planned?

[St0rMl0rD]

yeah!!! i'm gonna buy it...hell..no...why buy it, if i can't read notes? :P :? 8)

[mrbeekle]

hey bakerman on the first page u sed u would post a sample, but i never saw it, PLEASE send it to me, im still going to buy it no doubt, im so incredbiyl excited about buying it, i just wanna see what its gonna be like to keep me waiting, so i can be even more excited, please?????

[mrbeekle]

and also, as well as that question, mindcrime or something said on like the first page that he just bought the first anthology book. is this the first anthology book? or has there been another one before the one that is being currently made?

[MindCrime]

Hi!
Yes I talked about the first Anthology Book (full score instruments) :
http://www.dreamtheater.net/disco_books.php?s=full_score
The new (the one we're talking about in this topic) is keyboard only.
Hope that helps.

[mrbeekle]

lots has been said by different people, im quite confused. can someone please give me an overall description of what we know about this book at the moment please??

[Bakerman]

It will have sheet music of all keyboard parts & vocals in songs listed by Chris in the first post; all our transcribing/editing work is done; some parts are hard to play but we always tried to make it as readable as possible; Warner Bros. is releasing the book and will be the ones to set a final release date; early July is still the goal from what I've heard; I am kind of sick of looking at these songs and have about 2/3 of the parts memorized without having tried any of them on a keyboard; the fastest rhythm notated is 64th note 9:8 tuplets at 7:20 of Stream of Consciousness; the slowest rhythm notated is probably something Kevin Moore played; the book will be purchased by anyone reading this post if they know what's good for them; I know Jordan I've known him for like 1.5 years; buying the book would be a good idea if you want to learn some of the songs; any questions regarding notation details will be gladly answered by someone here, possibly me, if you happen to get stuck on anything after buying it; if it sells well they'll probably decide to do a Volume 2 which would be good for everyone involved.

[avi999]

okay cheers cool, sounds good.

[Lyngs]

the slowest rhythm notated is probably something Kevin Moore played

:lol: LOL

[avi777]

Chris summed up the book nicely so I'll just say that I've had a lot of fun working on it and think you'll all like it too. I could use phrases like "best book ever" but I'll post a sample and let the work speak for itself:

http://s92612683.onlinehome.us/keybooksample.jpg

Time signatures, notes, dots, vibrato, it's all there. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It's the best book ever. I would recommend it to a friend.

wow, notes are uncommon in music

[mrbeekle]

shut up avi, he was just showing what the notation would be like, and normal music probably wouldnt have that vibrato line would it?? thanks bakerman for the info. please inform us whenever u find out anything new about the release date or anything. cheers

[A Fatal Descent]

wow, ive wanted something like this for years. Its a shame it hasnt got more classic synth moments tho like the intro to Lines in the sand and Anna Lee, but still sounds fantastic!!

Mmmmm, Anna Lee, a classic synth moment :lol:

[Rudess]

In my humble opinion:

THis will be the most accurate, incredibly transcribed keyboard anthology ever released. Enjoy!!

[pchanze]

Any news regarding the date of availability ??? just cannot wait anymore

[calmar]

Hi!
I would like to know if I'll can find this book in Québec, Canada??
Thank you!
Calmar

[SHP]

I'll can find
sorry, this is offtopic, but since i love the english language, i'm always interested in learning something new, so i'd like to ask this: i see you're from canada, so i suppose you're a native english speaker. as far as i know you don't use "will can" in future tense, but "will be able to". do you say it like this in canuck-land, or was it just a mistake ?

[calmar]

lol sorry its just a mistake! :oops:
But nobody can answer me??

[Bakerman]

If you can find other books published by Warner Bros. in the local music store, you can definitely order a copy there if they're not already getting a few to keep it in stock. That might be the thing to do if you can go there now and ask someone to watch for the official date and order/hold one for you.

[calmar]

Ok thank you bakerman!!
Calmar

[ProgTKeys]

Ok,

I finally got the official word regarding the upcoming release of the Key Anthology. The book should be available in 2-3 weeks (sorry no specific date) and will retail for $24.95.

It's great to see so much interest in this book! Hopefully, the Key Anthology will do well and we can do another!

[The White Raven]

24.95????


in chilean money that's like $18,000 pesos not including the shipping that from usa it's not very cheap.


in the end i'll end paying m,ore than $30,000 (35-45 dollars)


at

[Spacehog]

$24.95 isn't that bad, I'm sure the Full Score Anthology was more than that... plus, with the exchange rate at the moment, that's less than £14, so ain't gonna complain about that. Someone alert me once it's available to buy from Amazon? :)

Martin

[Ael]

Full Score Anthology costs 29.99 USD.

[The White Raven]

it's not expensivew when youdon't ghave to pay shipping....................

[Scrap]

it's not expensivew when youdon't ghave to pay shipping....................

I am sorry that you feel this way.

My solution: move out from the third world. :P

I think most people at Quebec aren't native English speakers. French is the main language over there.

[Hey George]

Does anyone know when you can buy this book?

[FloS7]

On Amazon the book is already available ....
Check it ! :
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0757981380/qid=1089301686/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-1363745-2897611?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Is that right?

Im a dumb i didn't really see that was those guitar tabs ... sorry !
:oops: :?
Flo

[siebenboy]

Don't worry. We won't rub it in...







dummy :P (kidding)

[Lyngs]

Today it's the 13th July. Any updates on the release date?
To me, the 13th July is later than "the beginning of July".... :roll:

[Bakerman]

I don't know if there's even going to be a date announced or just bam it's in stores. It shouldn't be too long because they said 3 weeks from when it's sent to the printing press until it's in stores, and I heard that on the day it was sent out, which was just over 3 weeks ago. Sorry there's no more info- I want a copy too. :-)

[MoonDark]

Where can I buy this one ... ( sorry to be late in the discussion )

[Tabs]

Just so you know...

The release date is not being determined by us - once we finished the book it became WB's issue as to when it actually comes out. We're just reporting what WB has told us - SUPPOSEDLY, and that's a big supposedly, we're going to have copies to sell at Keyfest this weekend, but again that's all hinging on WB actually getting the books to us...

Ryan

[Bakerman]

we're going to have copies to sell at Keyfest this weekend

Chief Transcribem say that man who choose not to fly out of Tucson have hard time selling book at Keyfest...

[ProgTKeys]

It appears the book is out! Here is the link for it on WB's site.

http://www.warnerbrospub.com/store/product.asp?upc=PFM0403&type=print&sys=WBP&mscssid =BSR1HCQXBRAK9N04JHMR85C1X51QF2E7

Doesn't appear to be up on Amazon yet, but since it is up on WB's site, I would guess it should be appearing in stores soon! I hope you all enjoy it. I can't wait to see it too!

[YtsejAmir]

too bad they are unable to ship to Israel.
well, i'll just wait for amazon... :)

[The J-Man]

I just ordered mine! :D

Hopefully it gets here soon!

-Joel

[Ael]

Does this mean you guys will have some at keyfest, I may as well just buy mine over there.

[Joelyus]

:x awwwwww.......
I have to ask my dad to use his credit card because i'm not old enough to have one.... that mean I will have to wait longer....only have to wait 4 years to get my card..
-Joel :(

[Yaco]

The warner is unable to send this book to France :I'll have to wait again

[pchanze]

You could order on

www.musicnotes.com

they ship worldwide (including France and Israel I guess)

[Ael]

Hehe, I got mine at keyfest...well, actually, two copies at keyfest signed by Jordan Rudess, Jordan Baker, and Chris Romero :D

[MindCrime]

Hi!
I'm living in France too and would like to order it.
With musicnotes, the shipping is $17.95 and the delivery is about 3 weeks... I don't know if it will be available through amazon (as Full Score Anthology, unavailable for the moment) : any thoughts?
Thanks for any kind of info.
MindCrime.

[Tabs]

Hey everyone,

The book is going to be availiable starting this Friday from Jordan's own online store at this website! We'd like to ask that if you haven't purchased it yet, to do so from his store (same price - $24.95) as it will directly benefit him as opposed to going through WB or Amazon etc...

Thanks!
Ryan

[MindCrime]

Hi!
I will buy this book with pleasure from this site but is it possible for you to send it in France?
Thanks.
MindCrime.

[The White Raven]

Hi!
I will buy this book with pleasure from this site but is it possible for you to send it in France?
Thanks.
MindCrime.and what about chile??

[OrpheusTheBard]

Can't wait to get my hands on this book! Going to order as soon as it's available on Jordan's Online Store. :D

Orpheus

[Ehren]

In the first book, was TDOE done by Progressive Transcriptions or the crappy guys?

[Tabs]

TDOE is ours thankfully ;)

Ryan

[Ehren]

In that case, it looks like I'm going to be out about 55 bucks plus tax from buying keyboard anthologies.

[FloS7]

I don't see it yet ... is that normal ??
Will we be able to buy it from France ?
Thanks .
Flo

[MindCrime]

Hi!
For France you can go here :
http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/book.asp?ppn=bkwbpfm0403&bookmark=0&who=basic&Only =H
See my post before :
"With musicnotes, the shipping is $17.95 and the delivery is about 3 weeks".
But I don't know if I'm waiting for it to be available at amazon.fr... Or if we can buy it directly from this (wonderfull) site.
Hope that helps.
MindCrime.

[calmar]

Hi!
I would like to know when I will be able to buy the DTKA in my music store? now? or later?
Thank you
calmar

[Rodkorn]

just make sure you print A LOT of them... one will be in Chile!! :D

[Georges]

17 USD for shipping&delivery ??? I just checked it myself, for I couldn't believe it. With such shipping&delivery costs, I'll rather wait till it becomes available elsewhere.

The book sales price is largely a bargain considering the delivered quality, but I don't see any sense to pay 17 USD for shipping&delivery which takes over 2 weeks (or even more likely 3-4 weeks). Doesn't seem to be a serious Internet distributor to me (at least not when it comes to distributing "worldwide" as they claim). I remember JR's ex-distributor Mediusvision, THAT was a quality distributor, 2-3 days it took and shipping costs were only 5 USD.

[David]

Yes, I agree... the shipping from MusicNotes is TOO high.
Will the book be available through Amazon? If so, when? I can't wait any longer... :D
I read about the book being available through Jordan's online store... but I can't find it. Do you have to e-mail the online store to order it?


/David

[pchanze]

I ordered on MusicNotes ... and got it 4 days after in Switzerland :D

So the price is high, but the delivery time is pretty short

[Bakerman]

The JR Online Store has the book now:
http://stores.musictoday.com/store/default.asp?band_id=633

Looks like they ship internationally too.

[Ael]

Thank God for keyfest, got it before all you ! pwned :P

[MindCrime]

Hi
Ordered mine today from the musictoday store. Can't wait!!!
MindCrime (from France ;-)).
PS : gonna heat my fingers starting today ;-)

[Ael]

Yea, trust me...90% of that stuff in the book is inhuman to play unless you are a JR carbon copy, start practicing technique...like five years ago ;)

[YtsejAmir]

i ordered right now the keyboard anthology and an evening with JP&JR through JR online store :D

[The White Raven]

the book has the piano and vocal scores but it has the chords??

[Ael]

Yup chords included.

[Rudess]

Hey folks,

I'm sure my online store will be able to ship the book out to you at a reasonable and fare rate. We also send things out in a very timely and efficient manner.

Thanks for shopping with with our store!

Jordan, I wanted to tell you that the concert in white plains was phenomenal, and I can't wait for its release on DVD...you've inspired me to step up my game again in my musical trainin.
