Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe sheet music since 2007. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for mental health). Request any popular song in any genre and language.

"Ruthlessness"

The track is transcribed in the original key, E Minor, and uses basic major and minor chords Em G C Dam Bm B. The harmony employs distantly related chord B.

The vocals are typed using an optional 𝄠 suboctave clef (the treble clef with the numeral 8 below it). Sing one octave lower than written. Play the right hand in any octave you like, preferably at written pitch.

"Ruthlessness" is composed in quadruple time with swung melody, I notate it as 12/8. Accent strong beats but do it softly.

The outro switches to the common time in a slower tempo.

Learn the left hand first and avoid learning both hands together in the very beginning. Patience is a virtue. Otherwise you will fail immediately and abandon the score.

The left-hand texture is thick and makes great use of the bass register.

The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Poseidon (Steven Rodriguez) and Odysseus (Jorge Rivera-Herrans): a predominant vocal style is staccato.

Pitch inflections (slurred notes) should be played quietly.

Focus on precise rhythm.

The melody is build to surprise a listener, to attract and retain attention. It has a rapid flow with sudden changes of direction, expressive pauses, a recitative style.
