The sparkey arp up at the start of the chorus. How would suggest creating this? What sound would you use and how would you create the effect? I really want to nail it..
Many Thanks!

Geez, what a rookie mistake!
Really sorry for that...
"you know...the sparkly arp...the one in the chorus...the arp..."

Shoulda provided the sample - duh. Sorry again!

The aforementioned sound/arp can be found in the middle (not beginning) of the chorus and can be heard on this recording at 1:28-29 and again at 2:28-29 at this link:

Apologies again for the lame first request and thanks in advance for suggestions!

I like the Tubes. I was living in SF when they were strong. Super talented musicians

That sparky ARP is barely audible/brief on the YT. It sounds like a fast 6 note
descending arpeggio. with a touch of Fx. maybe reverb.

When I have a subtle part I want to capture, I burn the recording and copy
it to Audacity.

I establish what the tempo is.

Then I isolate the part and slow down the tempo ( not the pitch]
by 20%
