"Pleasure"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I listened to Argent's Ring of Hands this morning, and I think I figured out the arpeggiated keyboard part of "Pleasure."  I knew there was organ panned right, but I couldn't really tell what was going on in the left channel.  When I listened to it this morning, I thought it was electric piano doubling the arpeggios but with a guitar part of just the bottom note, but I split the stereo track, and - hearing it slightly more isolated - I think it's the electric piano playing both the arpeggios and the bottom note (an octave lower).  I'm fairly sure I figured out the specific notes for that whole section, but it goes too fast for my current ability, so I'll have to practice that before I attempt to record a version.
