Example 1.

Step 0. Preparation

  youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crCqWK3SmRo
  ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp4 -ab 192k outputfile.mp3

Step 1

• tempo: about 110 bpm
• length: 3:50 (music begins at 30 sec)
• Lyrics and chord search with "songTitle chord"
  http://www.countrytabs.com/tablature/Luke_Bryan/Thats_My_Kind_Of_Night_Chord_62075/(There are many versions which say chord E. This one says E minor and I agree.)

Step 2

Note

• Not in usual 4 bar pattern. It is part of the taste of this song.
• Verse: 4 + 2 bar pattern
• Chorus: (4 + 2) + (4 + 1) bars = total 11 bars
  or 6 + 5 bars
  or 4 + 4 + 3 bars (Various interpretations are possible)
• Chord progression: E should be Em (5 to 10 minutes to verify the chord) (not important for drummer)

Song structure (usually I just use the ugly memo)

1. (0:30) Intro: 6 bars

   ---

2. (0:45) Verse: 4 + 2 = 6 bars
3. (0:59) Verse: 4 + 2 = 6 bars
4. (1:12) Chorus: 6 + 5 = 11 bars(fill at the last bar)

   ---

5. (1:36) Interlude 4 bars (break in 4th bar)

   ---

6. (1:44) Verse 4 + 2 (basically repeat of the above part)
7. (omitted) Verse 4 + 2
8. (2:11) Chorus: 6 + 5

   ---

9. (2:35) Interlude: 4 bars
10. (2:45) Verse: 2(break) + 2 + 4 (oh...) (break in the last bar)
11. (3:01) Chorus: 6 + 5 bars (break in 1,2 bars)
12. (3:24) Outro(Ending Chorus): 4 + 4 bars + 1(first note)

Step 3 (60min, 20131214)

PDF(hand written on a thick paper for music sheet (12 staves/page))

Some notes

1. For me, hand writing is much quicker. Computer printout is OK but thick paper is better. You better write your own beautiful sheets on a PC:-)
2. The notation style is of Yamaha Popular Music School textbook.
3. Step 4 (fill-ins) are omitted. It is easy to recognize note values.
4. Step 5 is not applied because this song is short and the result of Step 3 is already easy to read and play.
5. I usually add part of the lyrics and chords, but they are omitted to avoid copyright issues.
