I want to learn this version of Country Roads and I tried to write it down so that I didn't have to put the video every time... but I can't write it because I just can't figure out how long the notes are.
For example, I thought "the long notes in the left hand are a whole note, then after a half note the right hand starts" but I ran into trouble trying to figure how how to make those 4 notes in the right hand to fit into 2 beats. Then I thought, maybe those four notes last 4 beats and the left hand just "started early" (I know there's a technical term for it but I don't know it).
I wrote the first bar using that, but then when I reached the second I had half a beat empty at the end I don't even know how.
Long story short, I've tried over and over and i just can't figure it out. I can play the song, I can feel how long the notes are, I just can't write it down, like knowing a word but know knowing how to spell it.
What can I do?
