"I Remember When I Loved Her"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I figured out a bit of the bass part for "I Remember When I Loved Her" to-day.  The part during the verses is pretty much just the root notes of the chords above, and the first half of the chorus is just arpeggios, but I'm still stuck on the last half of the chorus, the transitions between the verse and chorus, and the part during the solo.  The chords during the solo are the same as those during the verses, but the bass part is different.  There are more notes, and it's more involved.

This same sort of thing happens in "Time of the Season."  While the verses in that don't have any chordal accompaniment, the bass parts during the organ solos are more elaborate versions of those that occur during the verses.  So "Time of the Season" resembles "I Remember When I Loved Her" in that they both have more complex bass parts during the keyboard solos.
