4. Here's Why I Came Up With It

I'm working on my version of "I Am A Rock"
Between the 3rd & last verse I'm playing a jazzy piano thing for the first half.
Then when the changes to F G F G F F G G (each letter is 2 beats) I want to do this riff, jump up 2 frets for the G, then the arpeggio starting on the 5th in F, jump up for the G, then run all the way up to the G at 1-15. That resolves to the tag line.
Also, for that jangly riff after the "I am an island" I'm doing three part guitar harmonies, and there's an arpeggio in there too.
