What is a Transcription from The Van Tuyl Music Foundation?

A transcription from The Van Tuyl Music Foundation means that our team of elite, professional musicians spent hours listening to and learning the song, and then transcribing every note, accent, dynamic and fill we hear. Once the transcription is complete, it is then checked, and re-checked for accuracy before we release it. Because we are human musicians, it is possible that we miss a note somewhere, or make an error, but it is extremely rare. Accuracy is our primary concern, so if you find one, please alert us so we can fix it!

About Foreplay/Long Time (from Wikipedia):

“Foreplay/Long Time” is a song by American rock band Boston, written by bandleader Tom Scholz. It appears on the band’s self-titled debut album, and as their second single, on Epic Records in 1976. The song combines an instrumental introduction, “Foreplay”, with the main song “Long Time”, generally played as one on the radio and listed as one track on the album. “Long Time” peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending March 5, 1977. It reached the Top 10 in Canada, peaking at No. 9. The standalone “Foreplay” was released as the B-side of Boston’s next single “Peace of Mind”, which was released in April. In an interview for the Best of Boston CD, Scholz said that “Foreplay” was the first song he ever recorded, and he did this on a two-track machine in his basement. Scholz also stated that it was the first piece of music he ever wrote, and that he wrote it as far back as 1969. Scholz originally sang all the vocal parts to “Long Time” in his basement during the making of the demo album, but his friend Brad Delp was invited to sing, and proved to be superior. Delp’s voice is the only one heard on the 1976 studio recording. Scholz played several guitars, including lead electric guitar on “Foreplay”, processed through a space pedal effect, and rhythm acoustic guitar on “Long Time”.[8] The three electric guitar solos on “Long Time” are played by Barry Goudreau.

About The Van Tuyl Music Foundation

Hi, my name is Ryan Van Tuyl, and since 2004 I’ve helped thousands of kids learn piano, singing, guitar, bass, drums, and songwriting in schools all over the world. The programs I’ve created teach kids how to achieve their musical dreams and become better, hardworking individuals through learning to play and perform rock, pop, hip-hop, blues, metal, and jazz music. Graduates of my programs have attended prestigious music colleges and universities. However, these programs have only been able to exist in middle-to-upper-class communities, where parents can afford to fund music education for their children directly.

While all of this has been a fantastic experience, it has left out kids who attend schools in underprivileged, more diverse communities without funding for modern music education. Schools and districts in these areas lack funding for the equipment, teachers, curriculum, and support necessary to facilitate rock-band-style programs like the ones I’ve created.

My mission was to tackle this head-on and bring these exceptional programs to students in economically challenged areas, so I sold my music schools and am launching The Van Tuyl Music Foundation to forever change music education. Our foundation will directly provide the funding for the equipment, instruction, curriculum, and support necessary to facilitate these programs.
