"You Make Me Feel Good"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


This is actually only the second time I've recorded "You Make Me Feel Good," which I was surprised about.

I included the electric piano part, but the only part of it that I'm sure about is the opening figure (doubling the guitar part).  Otherwise, I just played chords, except for the very end, where I doubled the bass part.  There's more rhythm to it than that, but I haven't really explored that yet, and I feel that a lot of these re-recordings I'm doing will be based more on my memory of how I once played them than strict accuracy.

I flubbed one of the half-step phrases in the guitar part (G# A G#) half-way through the song, but I was having troubles with it.  There are only four chords in this, and sometimes it's hard to remember where I am in the song, so I didn't want to have to attempt it yet again.
