Notes on Soul Ballad (Track 3):

• This track uses a strictly diatonic chord progression, played by arpeggios in the guitar.
• Notice how the electric piano part contrasts with the guitar part, playing sustained chords
and light fills against the guitar arpeggios until the last bar, where the two parts join.
• This track has a much simpler, sustained bassline, appropriate to the ballad style.
