Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords.
I consider reasonable requests.
Sometimes I post free PDFs. Follow me!

A twelve-note scale and a metered sheet music isn't capable to express the sound of “Cut The Bridge” with its layered vocal and digitally generated guitar inflections .
The track is transcribed in the original key, D Minor, and uses basic major and minor chords Dm F B♭ E♭ Gm and non-harmonic D with F♯ tone.
The chord change is cyclical.
Notice the ellipsis (omitted chords) in some measures, avoid pedalling here.
“Cut The Bridge” is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. Accent strong beats.
The left-hand maintains movement with tremolo.
The right hand imitates vocal delivery by Emily Armstrong and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park: a predominant articulation is staccato, but Armstrong sings with tenuto.
Pitch inflections (slurred notes) are played quietly.
Focus on precise rhythm in the rap part. It is tiring to play with forte touch; play pianissimo.
There are many places of an indefinite pitch (chanting "Cut it down!").
The melody is build to surprise, to attract attention with a rapid flow with sudden changes of direction, expressive pauses, a recitative style.
The aesthetic value of a track is based on energetic delivery.
