For whatever reason, I got to thinking about "One Day I'll Say Goodbye" this morning. It's one of those songs that I learned parts of so long ago that I don't really remember it anymore (although I do still remember [most of] the bass part!). In any case, I remembered that the liner notes to Zombie Heaven mentioned something in common between "One Day I'll Say Goodbye" and "Maybe after He's Gone" ("'One Day I'll Say Goodbye' provided the basis for 'Maybe after He's Gone'"). I'd never really understood how, but I realized this morning that it's the melody. The melody of the verses in "One Day I'll Say Goodbye" is fairly similar to the melody of the choruses in "Maybe after He's Gone" ("One Day I'll Say Goodbye" is half a step lower though).
That got me thinking about "Maybe after He's Gone," which reminded me that it's one of the two songs from Odessey and Oracle that I still need to learn the bass part to. So, I spent some time on it, and I think I've figured it out.
This certainly isn't the best recording I've ever made, but the bass part was the thing I was focused on. I didn't even double the acoustic guitar part with electric guitar.
So now, the only bass part I have left to learn is that of "Friends of Mine" (plus that little part in "Hung up on a Dream").
