Here's the original tablature from
<a href="http://arithmetric.bandcamp.com/track/moto-perpetuo-for-expert-guitar">Moto Perpetuo for Expert Guitar</a>.
I spent many months (years?) memorizing and practicing this
through-composed guitar
part, which consists of 3,473 mostly-non-repeating notes. <small>(Please
note that every time I've counted the notes, I've gotten a different
number, so that might not be exactly right.)</small>
<p>
The tablature is missing the simple four-measure intro, and the first
two measures are
different, so it syncs up at 0:14 with the third transcribed measure (the
first 6/8 measure).
<p>
Each measure/phrase uses only five distinct notes so it will map perfectly
into Rock Band guitar. In many cases it goes for longer than just a measure,
as in the first page, where the same set of notes are used for a group of 3 measures, then
a different set of notes are used for the next measure, repeat.
(There <i>is</i> an exception to 5-note-per-phrase; the page with
the circled "3" uses 6 notes per phrase.)
<p>
This is the original draft I wrote down while composing. This guitar
part was written first, and it was written straight through from
beginning to end. I wrote the notes down with a ballpoint pen, so
corrections are very ugly and sometimes unreadable.
<p>
The four measure intro was written later, at
the same time the first two measures were rewritten (to
make them easier to play on real guitar, so I'd have a gimmee to
warm me into it). This draft does include a tiny number
of later changes; I'd attempted to make sure that the last note of a note set
was a different color in Rock Band from the first note of the next set, but I
missed a few, and changed them later on this original draft. &mdash; <i>Sean</i>
