I think this is impossible. Unless someone has an extraordinary method for doing it.
Instead, ask for specific music sheets and we can all help you here.

I don't know if it is possible, but:
If you can convert Mp3 to Midi, than finale can open midi as sheet music.

Reda, there is also WIDI program. It works.
I will try to get some of those programs and let you know.

Well I've tried them.. but so far no acceptable results even with professional solo oud recordings.

Hassan,

while technology continues to be able to do amazing things, one fact never changes:


If you want to be a musician, you have to learn to do this with your ears.



It will be difficult and frustrating at first, but the rewards are immeasurable.
Every musician you listen to can do this. It's one of the things that makes them good.

good luck,
Brian

Hassan, :wavey:

Brian makes a true point.

Here's how I do it although I dont learn full solos. I learn short phrases and then improvise around them. Im no expert, but hope this helps.

1) Choose a phrase you want to learn

2) Listen to no more than the first two or three seconds of it, then pause the disc.

3) Now sing it.

4) Repeat processes 2) & 3) a few times.

5) Now find the notes on the oud which you are singing.

6) Play the phrase. Are you happy with your result? :bounce: If yes, move to 7). If no start again :rolleyes:

7) Repeat 1) to 6) with the next three seconds of music, and so on.

:mad: Good Luck, its not easy at first, but as Brian says, its basic training for musicians and well worth the effort as it will develop your ear for music, and therefore your playing, more than any book or computer programme.:airguitar:
