"Dance in the Smoke"

I recently figured out the opening guitar part and the chords for Argent's "Dance in the Smoke," and I tried recording a rough version this afternoon, but - like so many other songs - it's one that is not in my range/not suited to my voice.

And since - without vocals - the only interesting part would be the guitar solo (which I know only half of), I'm not going to post a version.

I think I've learned the bass part for "She's Not There."  I've known most of the verses and the little riff that bridges the first two verses since the end of June, but then I got stuck.

But I was playing through it to-day, and I think I've figured out the part for the "Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked" parts.

I learned a bit more of the opening organ part from "Rejoice" to-night.  I don't know the bass accompaniment for this new part yet, so some of the melody sounds a bit weird.  You can kind of hear how I'm hesitant to hit a few notes at the end; I think they're right, but they sound weird without the accompaniment.

I did a rough version of this almost a year ago, so this is a bit overdue.

"Rejoice"

I was just playing around on guitar when I discovered the first interval in Argent's "Rejoice," which is actually just an octave.  So then I figured out the first phrase.

I'm really excited about this because the opening (and closing) organ part in "Rejoice" is one of my favourite pieces of music.
