"Strawberry Fields Forever"

At the end of last month, I learned the mellotron part at the beginning of "Strawberry Fields Forever."  I had to use the version on Anthology 2 because the final version is either sped up or slowed down (I don't remember which), meaning that the pitches are out-of-tune compared to standard tuning.

I made a video for this one because that's easier than writing down what I played.  My framing isn't very good, and my fingering could probably be better too, but I think I have the right notes, which is the important thing.


I haven't been recording songs unless I know at least two parts, but I'm making an exception in this case.  Keyboard parts seem to be in their own category.
