    I have a similar process where i literally only work on the songwriting process and then when i feel its done i move into a rough arrangement and then add in all that little ear candy and effects. great video. there are not enough arrangement videos on UA-cam

    So that III in banjo is a bit more interesting. Not only is it a major III, it's a chromatic mediant, but also a V of vi. Since it moves to vi, it's better to analyze it as a V of vi rather than III. What makes it so good is that chromatic motion of the voices from the 5th of the scale (G of C,E,G) to sharp 5th (G# of E,G#,B), to the 6th (A of A,C,E)

    I am a proffesional pianist,director orchestra,arranger and composer. I have a proffesional band and im the one that writes the scores for the musicians to play when we have a concert. I transcribe by ear most of the time and there is no easy way to do it becose you must have at least an average good music ear.

    I also found this really cool software called "Sigview" which allows you to drop an audio file and look all the frequencies. So you can use it to see ALL the notes that are in the song (even the ones suuuuuper hard to hear).
