"Cabin Essence"

Backdated, archival post

I've been focused on Pet Sounds lately, so last night I thought I'd try figuring out something from SMiLE.  I figured out three parts from "Cabin Essence," but I don't own any of the instruments that they're actually played on.  Instead of banjo, I used guitar, and instead of clarinet and Eb harmonica, I used melodica (with the clarinet part panned left and the harmonica part panned right).  Eventually, I plan on acquiring the correct instruments and learning how to play the parts on them, but currently I don't have the money to do that.

It sounds a bit weird because I couldn't use the correct instruments, but I'm pretty sure that the parts themselves are correct.
