"Heroes and Villains"


A few months ago, I tried figuring out the organ phrase in "Heroes and Villains" with no success, but since 1967: Sunshine tomorrow has the backing track in stereo, I thought I'd try it again.  This time, I think I got it.  I also figured out the chords (it's just a simple I IV V I progression, although in C# major) and the bass part.  I had to tune the lowest two bass strings down a half-step to get the low D# (then I just played it as if the song were in D major and as if those strings were still in standard tuning).  It doesn't sound very clear, but I think that's just because of my novice audio engineering rather than my having the part wrong.
