**I'll Never Be...** - Reel Big Fish

Transcribed for trumpet

-----------------------

Seeing as how I've never seen this done before in simple

text format, I had to figure out a decent way to write

down the songs. This is what I came up with.

1. The notes you should play are indicated by the appropriate

letters.

2. No note lengths - just number of times played. You *should*

be able to figure out when and how long notes are played. They

do this in guitar tabs, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem.

3. Sharps are indicated by a "+", flats by a "-".

4. Octaves - To indicate octaves, I use numbers. 1 refers to

the lowest octave of a note, 2 the next, 3 and so on. So, super

low f sharp (fingered 123) would be +f1.

5. A short set of notes surrounded by parentheses, followed by

a "*" and a number means to play that phrase that number of times.

*Note* - In the solo for this song, there are several instances

where notes are connected via vibrato. I have tried to indicate

this with a "_". All I can say is try to mimic the style of the

song on the CD.

Here goes.

That's it. If you find any errors, please mail me.

Also, I'm looking for more tabs. Trombone parts for RBF especially,

but any band will do. So, if you play an instrument or know someone

who does, start tabbing! Also, put the word out by asking

webmasters to put ads on their ska pages. And please, send me any

tabs you can - I promise to give the author credit!

BTW, I'd love to do tabs for other bands. Just send me suggestions.

Of course, the band has to have at least one trumpet player.

Thanks,
