Brilliant cover, well recorded and dubbed. Your parents must be proud to have raised such talented triplets. :) Seriously that takes great timing keeping the tracks dead on the Mersey beat.
Thank you. I’m not a drummer, so figuring out an acceptable drum part, then tapping it out on my keyboard is often the most difficult part for me. But that wouldn’t make a very interesting video segment.
Great cover ….. like I’ve told my son who thinks he’s gonna be a rock star, “You should check out RUclips, there’s many a talented musician who are just regular folks”!😂😂😂
Now that was awesome 👌 You did a fantastic job playing all the parts and putting it together. I know it had to takes some work to get right, but it looked like fun, and I truly enjoyed watching it. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video and sharing your talents with us.
@Dcraine Yes, sir, you are very welcome. I will be glad to go take a look and subscribe while I'm there. I enjoyed the video so much that I showed it to the wife and sent it to a couple of friends. We all play music also. I've got well over 40 years behind me now of playing guitar. So I can truly appreciate your level of skill and talent. Thank you for letting me know. I'll head to your channel in a few minutes.
@@DcraineThat's funny because I play & record myself and have to do the same exact thing as your doing. There isn't much I can do in the original key anymore, we can thank good old age.
...and then all of a sudden, THIS video turns up in my feed from nowhere! (err... Man - lol.)😀Yes, massive Beatles fan here. I do like how you changed the key to E, so you could get the harmonies and all spot on. I've tried it but just ended up with it sounding sluggish. A friend doesn't/didn't sound bad at all doing it in D but that was partly to accommodate simplified the chords at one time - so all you need for the main riff really is to throw in D sus 2 and sus 4 in the right places, which comes across ok for a laid back solo acoustic rendition. You have it 'close' as can be here, I think to be a nice homage and great job of a classic song that shouldn't be altered too much. Excellent! This is the way I'd record it, ideally is what I'm saying but without the slavish reconstruction that so many do (nothing against that but it gets samey to see over and over on You Tube and I've been to see some very good tribute bands, so...) I'm definitely going to spend more time seeing what I can with this song!! Thank you for sharing the video - great stuff. 😎
Thanks for your kind words. I nearly always need to transpose any covers I do because my limited baritone is no match for the first-tenor range most rock and pop songs are written for. Many's the project I've needed to abandon specifically because of the "sluggishness" you mentioned when transposed to a lower key. Additionally, at age 66 my pipes aren't nearly what they used to be. I've found that double-tracking vocals-especially harmonies-helps to replenish some of the shimmer lost when transposing down. I think it works fairly well here. I enjoy deconstructing songs that I love and putting them back together. I'm obviously not trying to impersonate anyone; for most Beatles songs I think it's best to retain the general arrangements and feel without trying to duplicate the sound-no one's ever going to match what the Beatles sounded like. So for me it's really just about learning the parts and putting them together.
@@Dcraine My pleasure and thank you for the reply! Got me thinking of a couple of things here: Different ways of speeding a voice up as I'm sure you've found can have unexpected results... making it sound sweeter, yes quite often. And again double tracking helps beef it up a lot. But I really only have ever done that with any result I thought ok to my background and or harmony vocals. So good for making you sound like someone else lol. Exactly - even the best tribute bands in the world can never recreate the sound that was put onto record. Same notes, makes and models of instruments played, even equivalent or near identical recording gear used will only get someone very close but not totally 'there.' It is great fun taking things apart as you say and then seeing how they work. And why they work as well! They did a lot of thinking outside the box, from very early on. Even the most basic recorded music has an arrangement of one kind or the other, as we know. And this is where a lot of what we love stems from. Which is why when in the 90s - and I was heavily into recording on a cassette four track, more than being in bands, gigging and jamming as well - I suddenly saw the genius in music from the likes of Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong, which didn't interest me before - so much going on that when blended together, really is mind-blowing. All it took was to sit down and listen and I was sold. And that had been exactly the same experience of The Beatles when they were not seen as at all cool when I was in my teens in the 80s... they were ok for a few songs to people mostly, but that was it. Nobody I knew even had a copy of Sgt Pepper, so I hadn't heard it in full. And me buying the albums on CD was very gradual - over many years - but always special. Very strange looking back at that now!
@@IanAKAKeith I have tried using pitch change or speeding up my vocals but it always sounds faked - like the chipmunks. I began my recording in the 1970s by using two portable cassette recorders and bouncing sound back and forth. But the sound degradation only allowed a bounce or two before it became unlistenable. Then in the 80s I bought a Tascam 4-track cassette and it made everything so much easier. But what changed my life was figuring out how to use GarageBand on my iMac back in about 2006-unlimited tracks and tons of guitar sounds. I still use that original GarageBand, version 6.0.4. I have a newer version (10.3.5), but I prefer the older one. It's just so much more intuitive and easy to use for me. I'm old enough to have heard "I Feel Fine" on the radio when it came out. Friends of mine had all the Beatles 45s and we would "play" tennis rackets while we listened. Now in my old age, I'm trying to make up for lost time before I can't do this any more. I have videos of about 60 songs here on RUclips that I've done, and over a hundred audio versions on my Soundcloud page. Lots of Beatles, but also Eagles, Badfinger, Fountains of Wayne, and some originals.
@@Dcraine hi David! My first attempts at 'multi tracking' were also with two cassette machines - one a Walkman, even in stereo was possible via a lead I spliced together so I could plug the headphone jack of my guitar amp into one side lol. Of course, I was very happy with the results and others were impressed but I dread to think of how it sounds today. This was all wired through a top-loading VHS machine because it had Dolby on it. I think it was easier to record onto the VHS tape and rewind it for the 'rhythm track' instead of keeping swapping cassettes back and to. I've experimented with other methods since (end of the 80s that was) and getting my first Tascam 4 track machine was a massive step toward finding how much I could love recording and playing. Mostly I use an 8 track Tascam pocket-sized digital record now. I could have bought one with a lot more tracks and the Mixpad computer app I use is limitless but for real-time recording, it's ample for me. And very convenient too. I Feel Fine was one of the first things I remember hearing by them - because we only had two singles (other being Can't Buy Me Love), the Twist And Shout EP and the LPs With The Beatles and Beatles For Sale. My eldest brother played the Love Songs double LP for us to hear once (probably Christmas 1977) and I was still little and I liked bit but it didn't grab me much. Probably the following year when I remembered finding a cassette with I Am The Walrus and I think A Day In The Life on it. I couldn't believe it was the same band but only knew of Wings really - three of their albums became some of the first records I ever owned. Had to dig for a lot of stuff myself, even the most popular because there was always something new to hear and want to buy - or ideally exchange with someone who didn't want what they had, any more. Great times and yes, I'd 'mime' to the two Beatles records in the bedroom, standing with a tennis racket on top of a table when nobody was around to see! Can't really remember doing that with any other, funnily enough. I will definitely be looking at more videos you've done on You Tube - many interesting ones here and you are doing some very cool stuff. All the best and keep up the great work!
The feedback is actually faked, but don't tell anyone. I took the original from the Beatles record-which is John's A string vibrating-and monkeyed around on GarageBand to change its pitch to an F#, which fits my version. The Beatles recorded this in the key of G, but that's too high for me to sing, so I transposed it down to the key of E. Even the feedback had to be transposed in order to fit the key. But again, don't tell anyone...Shhhhh...

Excellent job. From a fellow Beatlemaniac.
I’ll have to try this in the key of E. I struggle mightily with the G chord and stretching on an acoustic.
Excellent
Nice. 😀

Probably one of the hardest Beatles songs, to play on guitar.
The lick around the D, C and G Barr chords. Is very demanding.
Well played. 👍
Thank you. Only took me about 50 years to get it right. 😅

Thanks!
THANK YOU, IT'S REALLY WELL!😮
Nice job but it is 1 & 1/2 steps lower than the Beatles. However, in your defense, Lennon/McCartney had very high voices in the male register.
Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome! Well Done!
Thank you!
I like it! You do a great job. Way to go.
Thank you!
Thumbs up. Next time get fully dressed.
Sorry. That’s about as dressed as I get.

Hi David, is that the original key? It sounded like a key lower.
