Hi all,
I have been trying to transcribe this song. It's a "latinesque" tune from a video game which I played when I was a lot younger.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDyYb-oPbw a Piano version

I have figured out the melody and I believe, it's in E phryigan.
Having figured out the melody I have been trying to work out what is going on in the harmony but I can't seem to make sense of it. I have tried all possible chords that go with phriyigan and they don't seem to work.
After listening to it a few times, it sounds like single notes(triplets) or stacked notes but certainly not chords.
Got any ideas ? Thanks, Chib
Hey there,
Have had a listen to the harmony just briefly, I hear double stops and yes I hear phrygian also.
Hear are the notes I heard in the first few seconds

The rhythm is playing some pattern using 16th notes. This should give you a good start to learning the song.
Cheers,
