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.

More Lady Gaga

"Happy Mistake"

The track is transcribed in the original key, C Major, and uses basic major and minor chords C Am G F and non-harmonic D and Fm.

"Happy Mistake" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time.

Accent strong beats but do it softly.

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 maintains movement with ostinato that imitates guitar strumming for the original track. Guitarists can play wider arpeggios (as in the intro) so I had to put notes closer together for the score to be playable. Play whole notes arpeggiato (𝆃)

The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Lady Gaga: a predominant vocal style is legato.

Pitch inflections (slurred notes) should be played quietly.

Notice fermata (𝄐) in the end.

The aesthetic value of a track is based on non-conventional tonal behavior.
