"In the Real World"

The same night I learned the bass part for "Don't Answer Me," I also learned some of the bass part for "In the Real World" (I might have the rhythm wrong though).  The bass part itself isn't that interesting, so I learned some other parts too - some guitar chords, a few phrases from an-other guitar part, and two phrases that are doubled on glockenspiel and a synth.

My recording starts at the first verse because what I know of the introduction is just the same D note on bass under a D major on guitar that leads directly into the first verse.

"Don't Answer Me"

Last night, I learned the bass part for "Don't Answer Me."  It's just the root notes of the chords, so it should have been obvious (although now I'm a bit suspicious of some of the chords I have).

While recording it to-day, I also got some more of the glockenspiel part.  This is just the first third or so; it repeats, but I didn't think it would be that interesting with only three parts.
