"It's Only Money, Pt. 2"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


I was bored last night, so I decided to figure out a part and I got the introductory guitar part for "It's Only Money, Pt. 2."  Later, I got a few phrases from "It's Only Money, Pt. 1" too (but since most of that is just a two-note phrase that's repeated throughout the verses, I don't think it'd make that interesting of an audio example).

As usual, my guitar tone leaves something to be desired, but I'm pretty sure I have the notes right (although I think I flubbed one in the third phrase).  I was surprised by how chromatic some of these phrases are.

There's an organ part underneath this, and I know it starts with an E and ends with a B, but I'm still not certain if it's D# and C# or D and C or some other combination of notes between that E and B.  I tried both when I recorded this, but neither sounded right, so I just left it off.
