no sorry Neil, you gave a sort of answer already but the more examples (songs) I get the more I will dive into it and will look at those songs.Hi Willem,
Sorry I did not address your first question. Generally in 3/4 you use a 6-note arpeggio like I mentioned would work for Time In A Bottle. There might be times when an alternating bass pattern could be used but you would usually hit the same bass note on beats 2 and 3. Moloka'i Waltz is an example of this.
Neil
Thanks
Willem
