"This Old Heart of Mine"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

When I made a page of the recording dates recently, I realized that I'd never recorded the guitar part from "This Old Heart of Mine," which I know part of.  (Actually, I realized that I'd never written about it at all.)

I intended to record what I know of it to-day, but I wanted to practice it a bit more first.  I referenced the video of the Zombies performing it in France and noticed that Paul Atkinson is playing the guitar part in octaves.  It's sort of visible here (but obviously more apparent in the original video):

This is a pair of C#s.

The thing is: in practicing it in octaves, I developed a blister on my finger, so actually recording this will have to wait awhile.  I'm still stuck on the bridges too; I know only the verses, and it will probably be underwhelming when I eventually get to it.
