Jorge: I've avoided your question because I want to focus on the specific musical issue I'm interested in. I'm trying to avoid a philosophical discussion about the value of transcription. (Perhaps it would be a good topic for an independent thread.)
I'll just quote John Riley here: 'The process of transcribing is beneficial on many levels. First, it improves your listening and concentration skills. Second, it provides new vocabulary. And third, transcribing improves your reading and writing skills. Plus, you can manipulate and permutate transcribed material, merging ideas from different sources more easily than things learned by ear.”
Of course this is a personal choice: I'm definitely not here to try to convince anyone of the merits of transcription.
Thomas: just to be very clear, Rasua did not confuse anything: he was deliberately giving an example of incorrect transcription. I think the congachops transcription is on this level of 'incorrect'.
