Radiohead - Street Spirit

A new Virtual Piano contest is up! I was thinking about playing "Street Spirit" on this one, but it didn't quite work for me... I guess I'll go look for some piano classical instead.

In the transcript is bellow, you should ignore the underscore signs, I put them as placeholders to align the script so it's easier to edit. There's nothing special there, you just need to play it fast enough (4 notes per second). Enjoy.

Nirvana - Lithium

I was trying to play Lithium on guitar (acoustic). Unfortunately, as an amateur self-taught guitarist I still don't possess the required skills... So here are a few bits of it on the virtual-piano -- so much easier:

3 * WT
3 6 0 e
6 8w 8w 8w 9e 9e 9ey
6 7Q 7Q 7Q 9e 9e 9ey

Chorus:

Here are also a few bits from Smells Like Teen Spirit:

If you like it and feel like uploading a video you of playing it, I will appreciate it a lot.

Converting Guitars Tabs to Virtual Piano Transcript

Here's an easy mapping from guitar tablature to keyboard:

....0..1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9.10.11.12....
Eb|-u--i--I--o--O--p--P--a--s--S--d--D--f----
Bb|-r--t--T--y--Y--u--i--I--o--O--p--P--a----
Gb|-w--W--e--E--r--t--T--y--Y--u--i--I--o----
Db|-9--(--0--q--Q--w--W--e--E--r--t--T--y----
Ab|-6--^--7--8--*--9--(--0--q--Q--w--W--e----
Eb|-3--4--$--5--%--6--^--7--8--*--9--(--0----

For example:

|-------0-----|-------0-----|-------0-----|-------0---7-|
|-----0---0---|-----0---0---|-----0---0---|-----0---0---|
|---0-------0-|---0-------0-|---0-------0-|---0---------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-0-----------|-0-----------|-0-----------|-0-----------|

Should be played as:

|-3-w-r-u-r-w-|-3-w-r-u-r-w-|-3-w-r-u-r-w-|-3-w-r-u-r-a-|

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

Here's the intro for Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. This one doesn't require any keyboard remapping. It's quite easy actually - the only tricky part is 9I that requires caps-lock on and off.

J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Here is my attempt to play the beginning of "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" on Virtual Piano. Well, I must say that it sounds a lot better on Organ than on Piano, and also that my version is slower than it should be, but i'm still proud of it (and taking comfort that Bach is not listening:)

Please note that it requires remapping the keyboard. It's not absolutely necessary - if you play 'Pi' as 'P i' fast enough it sounds almost the same. Also '06Tpu' sounds almost as good even without the capital T.

Give it a try, it's a bit easier than it looks, but nevertheless, requires some practice.
