I use Elizabeth's tutorials on Youtube for quite a few tunes. She's a great asset to newbie's like me.

In the YT video Elizabeth has the letter notes showing, and someone posted the letter notes in the comments section. I do not know if these notes are exactly correct, but, is what is posted.

One of the main reasons I like her videos is that the letter notes are displayed. I wish someone on the forum could provide me with the letter notes for "Prayer From the North"

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about computers to download and transcribe this. I can't read regular music notation and I don't understand the ABC notation either.

Everything I have learned to play on whistle has been from filled-hole tab or a listing of notes as Elizabeth has on her videos. I have no friends or family members that have ANY understanding of music.

I just hope that if someone on the forum ever takes the time to write down the notes to the song they will display it on this site.

Whistling Pops, isn't these "letter notes" just a downgraded ABC-notation? However, here's the ABC transcribed by MTGuru. Simply copy/paste it to http://www.folkinfo.org/songs/abcconvert.php ; there's a drop-down menu for tabs, select whistle, select the key D (works for any whistle, it's just because the transcription is in D), and there you go.

But that's not the Hobbit song, is it?

I feel I may have unintentionally hijacked the thread. My apologies

Megapop,

Thank you so much. I followed your simple instructions and I now have the song in whistle tab!
