"Just a Little Bit"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I've been looking into bass parts recently, so I wrote out the notation for "Just a Little Bit."  In doing so, I discovered that I was wrong about the bass part during the organ solo.  I'd thought the notes get progressively shorter, but it's actually just that they become more frequent.  What I thought were whole notes and half notes are actually just quarter notes.

I should also mention that I'm not quite sure about the time signature change at the end.  But I knew that if I didn't write down something, the notation I'd already done would just languish unfinished.


For much of this, the guitar just doubles the bass, just an octave higher.
