"A Love That Never Was"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


A few months ago, I figured out that I was playing a wrong note in one of the arpeggios in "A Love That Never Was."  Last night, I was playing around with it, and I think I've corrected it.  I'd been playing it as F#, A, D#, F#, but I think it's actually F#, C, D#, A.  As I'd been playing it wrongly, it was the top part of a B7, but if F#, C, D#, A are the constituent notes of a chord, I do not know what chord it is.

I also played the chromatic phrase that I discovered a few months ago on organ.  It's not actually in the song (although I think part of that phrase is in the backing vocals), but I was curious as to how it sounded.

I used my tremolo pedal for some of the arpeggio parts in this, which I'm not sure is accurate, but I'm pretty sure there is some kind of guitar effect.  I missed a note or two in transitioning between guitar parts, and some others aren't very clear, but this was the third or fourth take, so I just went with it.

Also, I discovered that the drumming pattern is similar to that on "She's Not There."
