If i’m being honest, Day Tripper will always be my favorite riff from the lads! Hearing the opening E chord is just a sign to grb your guitar and play along! And seeing you debunk the guitar used for this track is major news to me! Thanks for this!
This is almost definitely the most spot on cover of Tripper i’ve ever heard!! I’ve been a fan of the 345 since Ryan started using his, and this double shows how cool of a guitar it truly is
Thanks, perhaps some time in the future , but I think I made the point I was going for, and I have a lot more Beatle gear I want to share and demonstrate on the channel. Thanks for watching!!
That's pretty damn impressive. How the hell did you get it so close? I mean that's a lot of stuff to take into consideration...the specific console, the EQs, the compressors...I mean to buy the stuff used would be a fortune in and of itself. Was this all programs? Just...wow...
Hi ,thanks! No program at all. All human (me)It's just knowledge of what guitars and amps they had during the dates the song was recorded, knowledge of the equipment that was used at Abbey road at the time, and having the guitars , drums and bass that they would have used. The hardware and software plugins for eq boards and compressors and even the J37 tape machine are now available. Being a huge Beatles fan and engineering music for years on my own , you learn how things work.... and of course you need to be able to play the instruments. I have been actively chasing Beatles equipment and tone for about 50 years. I have a passion for vintage gear and have most of the guitars the Beatles used. A lot of them the same years as theirs. It's been a passion that keeps me happy. I started this channel to share what I've learned , launch original music, and discuss my favorite topics with people who have the same interests. Thanks for watching!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Well your effort is definitely worth it, and I'm exceptionally impressed! Did you by any chance read Geoff Emerick's book for insight? It wouldn't' surprise me if you had, because it's incredibly informative. Cheers, my friend, and again...fantastic accomplishment!
Thank you! I own and have read pretty much every book on the recording of the Beatles. Definitely Emerick's book Here There And Everywhere among them! The best book on the recording gear is Recording the Beatles. It outlines literally every piece of studio gear at Abbey Road that the Beatles used and explains what they were used for. Emerick's book obviously was great because he details what he actually did on some the sessions and what happened during recording. Another cool book is All you Need is Ears by George Martin. Thanks so much for watching!@@ComradeMarx1017
Amazing work. This is like watching an artist painting an exact copy of the "Mona Lisa", getting every single brush-stroke correct. I wonder how much is playing-technique, how much is strings, how much is guitar and pickups and how much of the sound comes from other gear like compressors and such. Could someone get close with very cheap guitars and good post-production? Or are the guitars the most important part of the puzzle?
First off, thanks. I think the answer to your question varies depending on what song we are talking about. You can play Beatles on anything, but to replicate the sounds of the recordings I think having the right guitar gets you there much faster. Playing yesterday "for instance sounds great on many acoustics if the player can play it well. However when I play it on the 64 Texan the magic of the record kicks in. The details of the record start to be heard. Same thing for the keys and bass. The Rick sound with flats just gets that sound so quickly. Put it through the Vox UL730 and suddenly you're getting the Pepper tones without trying too much. There definitely is character added with the compression for sure. Especially the RS124 on bass. The Fairchild too. It sounds close without them , but when they go on it's wow! There it is!. When I did "Get Back"the plugs got the sound so close. The bass sound suddenly had the characteristic of the record. It was instant recognition. I was surprised. Amps make a very huge difference too. Certain amps pop out certain sounds. The Bassman does that , so does a vintage AC30. When Michael Sokil came over to record his cover of "Help"I got to hear my own gear played back to me and it was a treat. I normally just hear myself playing. We both were smiling because he nailed the playing naturally, but the sound was sooo authentic because he was basically using what The Beatles were using and it makes a difference. Strings can make a difference... The gauge, flat, round, can all help you shape the sound. But if you are playing the wrong guitar sometimes it's just obvious. I've noticed the mics can make a difference too . I usually use a sm57 to mic a guitar. When I started using the U47 clone it sounded closer to the record. Not because of better quality, it was more about the character. Even things like percussion can clearly be heard to have a certain character. The bongos Ringo used didn't sound anything like typical modern bongos today, and they sound different when comparing them , especially on recordings. I mean they had Aluminum bongos, quite a unique character. I think guitar/instruments first , amp second, mic third, and then compression EQ, reverb etc. The Beatles sounded like The Beatles wherever they recorded. Obviously the player has a lot to do with it too.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Thank you for a very interesting and informative answer. I remain super-impressed. As a Beatles-fan, as big as they come, your channel is a gold-mine. Keep these fantastic videos coming. May I suggest a video on the return of Paul's lost Höfner? Would be fun to hear you tell the story and have you share your reaction to this good news 🎻
A few months ago at my favorite local music store I plugged a Telecaster into a Fender Bass Amp and quite by accident got something damn close to the Day Tripper tone! Go figger...
Sure, that makes sense. It is trebley and maybe the gauge helped. You can get close with several types of pickups, but of course at that time the Beatles didn't have a tele. You probably know they did later on Pepper when Mac had the esquire , and then of course the rosewood telecaster that George had. I think it's cool when you accidentally come across a tone you weren't expecting.I love when that happens.
Actually I didn't even need the side by side after hearing the intro - the tone is THAT embedded in my musical consciousness! But it's TOTALLY worth the effect :-) PS: PLEASE take this with the intended cheeky good humor, but how can something so ultimately useless be so incredibly satisfying??? 😀
Really want to hear a Cool demo of a Gibson 345ES, check out that pedal show, Mick puts one through all it's paces, stereo, phasing, varitone, his just sounds so Glorious sound wise. Between this video and his Those were some special guitars, just wonder where George's went, maybe they strapped that one on the outside of the Car and it got run over. Someone please ask Ringo or Paul if they know, and also which Gretsch's George for sure lost. I am really surprised that back in the 70's or 80's Guitar Player magazine never interviewed any of the Beatles about guitars, this kind of stuff was right up their Alley.
Incredible! It's about as perfect as you could hope for. If you don't mind, what's the large condenser mic you're using on the amp? I think you also use in in your videos featuring the j160-e and it just captures it perfectly
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Oh that's significantly more attainable! Thank you for sharing. I'll have to demo one next time I'm gearing up for another gear bender. I don't currently have anything that's in the U47 universe. Did you actively choose it over the telefunken/bock or was there something else that pushed you to it?
I read a lot of reviews, and bought it used on the internet. I saved about 2-3 grand getting it used. The owner Mike is a really great guy to work with when you need a new tube or something needs to get fixed. I have two heads for it. One with an M7 capsule, the other with the K47.I use it a lot especially vocals on my original music.@@Wazio
I compress until I achieve the sound I'm looking for. I never really know how much until it hits the right spot. I already have an understanding of how the gear will affect the sound, but it's often just dialing until it does what I need it to do. This is in the mixing phase after recording generally.
What amp are you using? Would this have been the solid state vox? Also the main riff has way to much treble and not enough body. May need a humbcuker with less coil on the bridge side or maybe turn the tone knob to 7. Not sure. Still well done. What ric is this? The old style pickup or new? Also, Just get an SG bro lol. The ‘64 reissue exists now
What makes you think I don’t have an sg? I used a 1963 AC30. They didn’t have the solid state amps yet . They had them on Revolver not during Rubber Soul. Also the bass is a Rickenbacker 4001C64.
@@perrystanleyNumber9cool bass, worth hunting one down? I like the wings version. Idk I think that guitar sounds incorrect tbh. Just my ears. But I think they’re good it this. Maybe this was a strat song? The SG should have Alnico V, does your ES? Maybe the vox needs recalled idk. It’s the one guitar to me that sounds wrong, and clearly so…. Just my two cents. It’s nice work. Is the bass direct with a double compressor or how did you do it?
@@perrystanleyNumber9 seriously, you’re being a dick about it? you’re the adult man who’s spent his money and time trying to copy a boy band’s exact sound when they themselves spent less than a day on the whole song before moving on with their lives. And you still did it wrong! Maybe time for a new hobby lmao. 🤣 get your ears checked bruh, might have burnt out the treble hz playing teenage nursery rhymes in the basement for too long. Yeesh. They’d have had a laugh at you that’s for sure.
@@Eric-l7x Whoa , dude! What are you flipping out about? A laughing emoji? I was laughing at the double compression thing and the vox needs recalled comment . I don't even know what that means! No offense was meant. You don't have to agree with me on the sound. No need for insults . Chill dude! :)
My first one did too until it was contested. Now it seems they are allowing more to be used than before. Good luck! By the way, nice job on your Hey Bulldog bas cover!
It's so similar it's actually crazy. i don't know if you care about little things like this. but i have a theory that john dosent play a 5 fret bar chord A7 but rather a open A chord changing from a Asus 2 almost like the help rhythm
@@perrystanleyNumber9 i noticed on ably houses cover that they used the open a and a sus2 and i went to the isolated tracks and it sounded a lot like john was playing that chord.
If you are talking about the build up before the solo, the 335 is doing volume swells while the rhythm guitar (John)is chomping eighth notes on chords.(That's what's on the rhythm track before the overdubs. (Take 1) I can't speak to the overdub on this part because I haven't studied it or tried guitars out. Same for the solo.
Tried a strat with rounds and flats -not even close to the record! You can hear the strat attempts to match the record in the first Day Tripper Guitars Finally revealed vid.
LOL. Well though it certainly could have been the hofner, he got the Rick in August and seemed to favor it after for recording. Though I have always felt he used the Hofner in Norwegian Wood, and I'm glad Michael Sokil chose to use the Hofner in his cover. (It sounded perfect) So who knows? Thanks for watching!
Yep, that's it. 100% nailed. Incredible work!
Thanks Michael! It's especially satisfying when approval comes from a guy who has nailed hundreds of Beatles tunes!
