---&---
I listened to Argent's Nexus to-day, and I thought the organ part at the beginning of "Keeper of the Flame" sounded like it would be pretty easy to figure out. Not really.
I think I got most of it, but I'm still missing a chord (G minor?) and some other bits. Also I couldn't really find a setting that matches the Hammond organ as it sounds on the original. I really want a Hammond organ, but I have neither the money to buy one nor the space to put one.
Interestingly, a phrase in this organ part resembles the bass part of "Hung up on a Dream." There's an ascending diatonic phrase that then descends by a half-step. Here, it's G A Bb C D Db. ("Hung up on a Dream" has B C# D# E F# G# G.)
That whole sticking-to-one-song-for-a-month-or-so didn't last very long. Also, this song is new to the catalogue.
