Notes
This song is one the few where I managed to transcribe each instrument nearly perfectly. In most songs, I can’t identify all the chords or even detect the existence of some fainter instruments. (It would be nice to listen to the music producer’s tracks instead of the final mixdown.) In Main Theme however, the highly repetitive nature of the instrumental melodies and the way certain instruments come in and out makes it tremendously easier to transcribe each instrument fully. Guitar 0, 1 had some chords that were hard to identify outside the solo section in bars 0 to 4, and guitar 2 was faint so the near-solo in bars 56 to 64 were helpful. The other instruments were reasonable to transcribe in the full audio mix. The only parts of the transcription I’m not fully confident about are the unique end-of-phrase melodies like in bars 55, 95, and 99.
