"I'm a Believer"

It seems like there are quite a few videos about how to play the organ part in the Monkees' "I'm a Believer," and I think the electric piano solo gets a bit forgotten, so I made a short video demonstrating it.

"Papa Gene's Blues"

I listened to the deluxe edition of The Monkees at the end of October and noticed that the bass part in "Papa Gene's Blues" is much more prominent in the alternate mix that's included as a bonus track.  Yester-day, using this alternate mix for reference, I figured out the bass part and transcribed it.  As always, there's the disclaimer that I may have something wrong.

"So Goes Love"

Recently, I learned the bass part in "So Goes Love."  As always, there's the disclaimer that I may have something wrong.

"The Day We Fall in Love"

Last year, I learned the bass part for "The Day We Fall in Love."  I finally got around to scanning the notation to-day.  As always, there's the disclaimer that I might have something wrong.

"The Kind of Girl I Could Love"

Last month I figured out the bass part for "The Kind of Girl I Could Love."  I notated it, but then I sort of forgot about it.  I finally got around to scanning it last night.  As always, there's the disclaimer that I might have something wrong:

Like I mentioned last month, I don't think the bass plays in the first measure of the bridge.  The notes I have there in parentheses are extrapolated from two measures that appear later in the bridge.

"She"

Over the last couple months, I've been slowly writing out the notation for the bass part in "She."  I finally finished it last week.

My notation starts when the bass part starts in the song, but there are a couple measures of solo guitar before this.  As always, there's the disclaimer that I might have something wrong.

Like I mentioned when I recorded the song last year, there's a single phrase in the second chorus (the last measure on the first page) that's different from the first and third choruses.  I'm pretty sure the bass player (Larry Taylor, according the liner notes) just missed his cue; instead of the measure of four quarter notes (E F# G# B) that's in the first and third choruses, the bass continues playing the same thing as the preceding measures: half and quarter notes of E then a quarter note of B.

"Words"

One of my musical goals this year is to learn a bass part to a song on Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. every month.  I've been neglecting that a bit, but I did learn the bass part for "Words" this month.  "Words" was never one of my favorite Monkees songs, but - having learned the bass part - I like it a lot more (just because the bass part is fun to play).

Here's the notation, although - as always - there's the disclaimer that I might have something wrong:
