"Heaven Knows"

I recorded some parts from Keats' "Heaven Knows" three years ago, but I never wrote them down and forgot how to play them.  Recently, I've been relearning those parts and figuring out some new ones (and writing them down).

I remembered the piano part (although I'm still missing some of it), and I relearned the bass part (and discovered that I'd had some notes in the wrong octave).  I also figured out one of the saxophone parts (which I played using a mellotron sound) and some of one of the guitar parts:


When the piano comes back in, the timing is a bit off, but I didn't feel like redoing it.

"Heaven Knows"

Backdated, archival post

I don't think I've done much on this side of the project, but here's a reminder that I'm including Keats (an APP side-project) with the APP stuff.  I listened to the Keats album a couple days ago, and I was just going to try to figure out the bass part during the verses of "Heaven Knows," but I think I got the whole thing, plus a bit of the piano part.

I did the guitar chords as a last-minute thing, and it might have been better without them because 1) my guitar tone doesn't really match (it never does) and 2) I played a G major where now I think it's a G minor (the song's in F major, so the B would be flat).

This isn't the whole song, but the parts I didn't include just repeat parts that I did record.
