“Bella’s Lullaby” by Carter Burwell for piano, sheet music in video description
If you download or use my sheet music in a video, crediting/subscribing to me would be very appreciated 
Here is my sheet music in PDF form: http://www.freewebs.com/katherines3/Bella%27s%20Lullaby.pdf
All righty, if the PDF doesn’t work, here’s the music in jpg images.

Here’s my attempt at playing Bella’s Lullaby, the official version by Carter Burwell (as in the movie Twilight). I’m playing this by ear. I tried to make it sound as close to the original as possible. I am NOT a Twilight fan, but I do think this piece sounds pretty on the piano.
Also, you can download an mp3 of my version here (right click and save) – http://theheartrender.webs.com/Bella%27s%20Lullaby.mp3
ABOUT THE BIG CHORDS:
I can only reach 9ths, not 10ths, so I can’t play the chords exactly like they are in my sheet music, I just try to make it sound *close* to what it should be like. If you can reach the 10ths, excellent, play it like it is written. But I know some of you have also had this problem where you can’t reach the chords. What you can do is play the first chord (the 9th, which most people should be able to reach) and hold down the bass note of that with the pedal. Then when you play the 10th, keep the bass note held from the chord before that, and DON’T re-play that bass note, just play the upper two notes, which should only be a span of a 6th. If you can’t reach the 9th, then you can leave off the bottom note.

How To Play Music By Ear
For most, the idea of playing a musical instrument can be baffling from the start. Especially if you have never played a musical instrument in your life! Even if you do not have musical instrument, you can always begin with voice. Piano is excellent for the beginner to start learning.
But what about those with just enough experience to go beyond and venture out into more extensive musical territory? What about the one who perhaps did not make it in musical theory class in college yet still has the desire to play music. Well, this information and the available book are good news for you!. What about the guitar player, the sax man, the drummer, the flautist, the harmonica, harp player, rhythm and bells! What about the one who desires to play music by ear for an adventure in self-expression?
You have come to the right place! Being a musician who plays by ear while next to a musician who reads and plays classical music adeptly can be intimidating. We`ve come to think of a person who plays by ear as a non-studious musician, when we might in fact be overlooking a creative genius in the making! Not to discredit those who have spent years in study, even earning Masters and PHDs. The ear is actually a musical instrument. Sound waves strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and cause it to vibrate. These vibrations are then passed through the tiny bones in the middle ear and on to the hearing nerve in the inner ear which sends them to the brain. So, listening, hearing or playing by ear should not be discounted.
Take an individual who has perhaps never played a musical instrument but listens to hours and hours of a wide variety of music. Now take another individual who has spent many hours, days and nights studying, learning and performing with ease from sheet music. If we were to put these two in a room, we would have one outstanding listener and one outstanding performer. But what if the listener was asked to perform without sheet music? Would the listener be able to perform at all?
Absolutely, simply from the acute hearing already developed in their brain. And what about the reader of music, who sees the notes and plays them to perfection, what would the reader do if asked to improvise a new song? Could they create one with ease or would it take a lot for them to creativity compose on the spot? It`s simply a question for you to think about. This leads us to further questions…
When we learn to talk, do we all begin with the same words? Of course we don`t. We learn most easily the words that have to do with our chief interests. Similarly, in playing by ear the student should follow his own inclinations rather than the order of this book. Does one really need a text to learn to speak a language that he hears several hours every day? Grammar and a dictionary can be of great help. Does one really need a text to play music that he hears on the radio and on CDs several hours each day? This book will help. The ear player must practice, just as the note player must practice. But practicing does not need to be drudgery. The most effective practice means having a good time with the instrument each time.
Summary
Learning to play a musical instrument by ear does not have to be a drag! If you want to play it, play it! Don`t let an inability to read music keep you from enjoying your dream instrument. Pick it up and play today by ear!

Where can I find the sheet music to this version of Bella’s Lullaby?
It’s only with a right hand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVBdNCYjuTA if you can find a direct link to sheet music that would be kool. Or can i just use my right hand on the regular sheet music?
Hello… not classical music…this question is asked every day. EVERY DAY. This question should be in the pop forum.

Is there a way to make normal piano sheet music into finger picking guitar tab?
I want to play a song that I only have piano sheet music for. I want to play it by myself on my guitar and just playing the melody on one string at a time I was wondering if there is a way for me to put some bass notes and stuff in to make a nice finger picking song. So is there a way?
Yes you can!
The first question that comes to mind is do you know the notes and where they are located on your fret board?
Such as the the 2 spots you can play your middle C?
A good understanding of the different scale patterns and correspoding modes will help also. This will help you maintain a clean counterpoint and stay in "position" for the melody (would not recomend a one string approach for the melody)
Also remember that piano music is actually and octave below what guitar notes are written. So keep that in mind — example the middle C on piano music is actually the high C (the C on the 3rd line of the staff).
Another thing to look for when transposing piano to puitar is to remember that the piano uses alot more notes (you have 10 fingers for the piano but only 5 for your fret board) so keep a look out for unnecessary passing tones or added notes to the basic chords (your add4, sus’s, b13′s, #9′s) that is more piano oriented and those are usually passing tones that sound good with a piano but horrible on a guitar.
Just focus on the melody then look at the bass line of the piano score to find out the best bass notes to use. Try to stick with the root notes at first but you can look into using the counterpoint rythym to add the 7ths etc of the chords.
Time consuming but definately fun!
You can also try downloading Power Tab. It will allow you to place the notes (both melody and bass lines) in standard notation form (point and click) and it will show a tabbed version as you enter in the information. Also hs a MIDI capable playback so you can get an idea if what you are writing "sounds" correct.
good luck!
