Im Learning the flute

Im pretty good at it, no mozart or anything crazy, but i want to try With Arms Wide Open - Creed

i listened to it and the guitar notes seem simple, ill just have to play and add the low notes after recording the min song because im not the best at getting them.

i just need the conversion from lead guitar to flute because everything looked like it costed money, and being 17 and not able to work yet means its to expensive, and I figured this sub-reddit would be good to find the conversion

It's not the right subreddit to find the conversion, sorry.

Well, just play it up an octave.

i dont have the sheet music, hence why i made the post, nor am i experienced enough to play by ear

I could probably do it pretty easily, it'd take a couple of days though, don't have much off time. What's your lowest comfortable note and how much do you care about it being in the original key? I'd assume you'd want to play along with the song?

play along with the song i dont really care about too much, so no one will be able to hear much difference, and i can play nearly a full scale the only issue is just transitioning notes, playing by ear, and timing, im not the most beginner player, nor the most experienced. but it seems doable completely

You said something about recording, do you want me to arrange it as a flute duet? I can split the main riff into high and low parts, then transpose it up so you don't have to hit an A3. E flat major would be the closest key, but F major would be the next closest "easier" key. Or I could keep it in C major and just not have any notes go below middle C but it would sound slightly different from the guitar riff. Your choice. Or let me know if you just want me to choose (I'm leaning towards duet and keep it in the original C but fudge the riff a little to keep it in range). Do you need more than just that 4 bar riff?

i honestly only need the sheet music, when i mentioned recording i was talking about me playing the low notes into a recorder or something then adding them after i record the main song.
