    Default Alex by Punch Brothers

    Hey guys,
    This is my first transcription that I have ever written out. I remember someone posted a thread asking for the sheet music to Alex by Punch Brothers, and since I had already worked out some of it, I figured why not try to create a tab for it. This is only the intro/verse up to the chorus. I'm not the best at picking out chords on mandolin while other instruments are being played.

    This was made using MUP, which is a free notation program. The only downside is, is that you have to "code" all of the notes into tab/musical notation. So instead of creating it through a visual representation, you use letters, numbers and symbols to create the lines.

    Example(1st bar of Alex):

    music
    repeatstart
    1: 8c bm; 16e; c+ ebm; r; e bm;c;e ebm;[ho+1.4] 8c+ed+ bm;c+;eb; a ebm;
    2: 8g5; 16d2; a3; r; d2; g5; d2;[ho+1.4] 8g5d2a5; a3; d2a2; a0;
    bar


    I hope it helps somewhat!

    Also any feedback on anything that needs to be fixed, including format, spacing, etc., would be great!

    Already found the first mistake. The 3/4 bar should be a 6/4 bar. Basically add another pair of 8th notes of each chord to get four 8th notes of each chord, rather than two. You probably could figure that out by listening to the song though. Either way, I re uploaded the file with the fixed 6/4 bar in case anyone wants it.
