I Am Not Ok

Jelly Roll  

All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them.

The vocals are typed using a a suboctave treble clef. This indicates that pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand one octave lower than written.

I also *doubled note values* to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.

*ABOUT THE SONG*

The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Jelly Roll: a predominant vocal style is *legato*. The pitch inflections (slurred notes) are prominent, play them lighter, but with a noticeable weight.

The song is played forte overall. Jelly Roll starts phrases in verses with breathing sounds of an indefinite pitch (I'm's). I notated them as a tonic note G but his I'm's also can be played as the following note (mostly E's).

"I Am Not Ok" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats.

The *chorus* of "I Am Not Ok" was colored *blue* for you to have a mental scheme of a composition. Play every repetition differently.

The left hand provides with musical texture. _"I Am Not Ok"_ is homophonic: harmony supports the vocal line with guitar arpeggios and chords. _"I Am Not Ok"_ is transcribed in the original *key,* G Major despite its being a sad song. The basic major and minor chords used are: *Em D C G.* A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic progression.

The aesthetic value of a track is based on conventional tonal behavior that sounds simple and appealing.

Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
