"Nights in White Satin"


I think I've now collected everything I've previously written about the Moody Blues' music, so now I'm moving on to recording some examples of what parts I've already learned (although recordings might be few and far between).  I don't think it's worth it to make a recording unless I know two simultaneous parts and a decent amount of them (time-wise).

For my first recording, I pickt one of the most well-known sections: the flute solo in "Nights of White Satin."  While I own a flute and can play it, most of this solo is well beyond my current range, so I used the mellotron flute sound.  The guitar part is vastly simplified; I just played chords.
