"That's Not Me"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


I knew I hadn't posted anything on here for a while (I didn't know it was three months though!), so I picked out and learned a part after listening to the second disc of The Pet Sounds Sessions to-day.  It's one of the guitar parts from "That's Not Me."  I'm pretty sure I have the whole thing (there's a string of F# notes near the end that I didn't include because I thought it would be boring to listen to without any other instruments), but there might be some more variation in the part when it's repeated.

In learning this, I've discovered that there's a key change on the "soon" in "I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty."  It adds a kind of musical jolt to accompany the realization mentioned in the lyric.
