Crippled Inside- John Lennon (Guitar Cover)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Here's my first solo John Lennon cover! I love this song. It's off of his 1971 album Imagine. It features George Harrison on Resonator slide guitar (also known as a Dobro guitar)
To donate to my channel click this link www.paypal.com...
The lineup for this song was John on his Epiphone Casino, George Harrison on Resonator guitar, Klaus Voormann on Upright Bass, two guitarists from the band Wishbone Ash on acoustic guitars, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Alan White on drums/percussion
John plugged his Casino into a Fender amp- either a Silverface twin reverb or the Beatles Blonde Bassman amp (that had been used on Rubber Soul-Let it Be). I'm using a 1963 Blonde Bassman because it crunches up nicely, as heard on the record. No pedals!
Amp settings: Normal Channel
Vol: 3
Treble: 6
Bass: 3
Presence: 9
In addition to John's Fender amp, you hear some of the acoustic picking on his Epiphone in the recording. This is because he sang the vocals live with the guitar, and his vocal mic picked up the guitar strings. I put an AKG condenser mic on the Casino, in addition to the Neumann on the amp. So you can hear my acoustic strings as well.
I'm lucky that I got to borrow a Resonator guitar for this cover. It's a 1970's Japanese made Dorado- made by the Gretsch company. I placed a Neumann microphone in front of it, it's not electric. George recorded his Dobro live onto the backing track, which was take 6. Afterwards, he overdubbed a new solo and a few extra lines. I include both the original and overdubbed parts here
For the acoustic guitars I'm playing my Martin 00-18 and Gibson J-45. It's possible a 12 string acoustic was used on the recording, but I'm not sure
I added some slapback echo onto all the guitars in Pro Tools. Using the Abbey Road J37 Tape Saturation plug-in to get this effect
Thanks for watching and let me know what other Lennon songs you'd like to hear!

Funny how nearly everyone thought it would be how do you sleep
wish it was
@N.W. Stuff Eh I can do without how do you sleep
@@shocko77 Raw mix from last year is god tier
@@shocko77 it is now:)
@@isaiah.fabela yes it is
And it's great
A moment of silence for John.
Awesome job, Sam. That Dobro rocks!
moment of music for John. :)
Great cover! One of the underrated Lennon songs :)
I'd love to see a cover of Out the Blue!
Out the blue and I know I know 👍🫶
I just discovered this song recently and I'm in love with it! I was sad the other day, but the bluesy ending really cheered me up. Great rendition!
Obviously the lick at 0:27 is one of the most cliche western sounding licks out there, but I like that John pulled it out after George used it rather liberally on Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby and What Goes On. Probably not intentional, but head cannon me wants to hold out hope with George playing right alongside him here. Also interesting that George would use it over the home chord in the given key whereas John is playing it over the IV F chord.
They learned it from the early players like Buddy Holly, Scotty Moore
George wore that lick out so bad in ETTBMB that he was only able to use it once in WGO before it finally died. 🙁
It’s cliche, but it’s good. What’s wrong about it?
NO WAY LITERALLY MY FAVORITE OFF THE IMAGINE ALBUM!!!! AMAZING RENDITION SAM!!!!!
It is so good to see this music played on YT. It is a testament to how good the Beatles were that 50+ years later, gents like you and Michael Sokil and Ably House, etc. recreate the instrumentation to a tee for us all to enjoy, analyze and appreciate. And what you do really is top notch. For a longtime Beatles fan, watching these recreations is like opening up a new dimension.
Don't forget Mike Pachelli. His channel is a beatle fan treasure.
@@backandfour Yes - Mike is excellent as well!
And dom rossi, mattiboo, manwithnoexpression, Luca cola!
The thing about both John and Paul’s songs from this period is that though they are singing about each other , they are also singing about themselves #lennonmccartney.
Excellent cover! George was a really underrated slide guitarist
Rest In Peace John, we still love you❤️
Would be great if you did a guitar cover of Woman or possibly Jealous guy? Anyway glad to see a good cover of this, Nicky Hopkins did really great on this song.
Love it. John was a genius.
legend
Such an underrated song
Let it slide, smooth as silk.
great cover
Siete bravissimi in grandissimo canale dedicato alla musica dei Beatles e in particolare di J.Lennon,in futuro aspetto anche pezzi come How do you sleep,It's so Hard,John Sinclair etc...diciamo quelli belli che pochi conoscono e che su RUclips non ci stanno tutorial interessanti,complimenti e continuate così alla grande.Yeah number one.👍😊
Thank you! I’m working on How Do You Sleep now
@@sampopkin uah yeah grande...l'aspetto maestro thanks.
My favourite off this album so perfectly done, a real treat
>"let me know what other Lennon songs you'd like to hear!"
It's not really guitar-oriented but I'm obsessed with "Remember"
Amazing. John doing that sort of Piedmont/folk-blues fingerpicking he also did on When I'm 64.
Exactly! Thanks
The attention to detail of your covers always amuses me, you even try to use the same mics and if that's not enough you also place a mic to take the acoustic casino's sound!! I don't think it's possible to find such accurate covers on RUclips.
Also I'm pretty sure Voormann used a P bass, and I think you own one, so you could have recorded that as well (what you did is more than enough but you know, we always love to see as many instruments as possible 🤣) Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it as always.
Very kind of you! This made my day. I will definitely be doing more Voormann P bass covers (already did my sweet lord)
I researched it and apparently Klaus did play upright on this song and Alan White played drum sticks on the bass’s strings to get that weird percussion sound
Another superb rendition, Sam. I am learning so much from watching you. Keep 'em comin'!
Damn that resonator is tone gold! Great travis finger picking as well! Love to hear How You Sleep at some point too!
Thanks Evy, yeah that might have to be next. Difficult slide playing by George on both!
@@sampopkin yeah! But I learned that George part for How Do You Sleep! If I can do it, you certainly can!
@@evyalley idk you’re really good haha. It will take me at least a week to learn it
Absolutely beautiful, your ear and style and feel are just incredible.
Thanks!
The fact that John never learned how to tune a guitar… but boy… he can do amazing licks on those babies!!! Thank you for this amazing rendition…along with a lot more… listening to them takes me back to the “golden age” of Beatlemania!!! Again …Thank you very much! ❤
Gonzo: With all due respect, John was quite capable of tuning a guitar. His mom taught him banjo chords when he was a teenager, but McCartney taught him proper guitar chords not long after the two hooked up. 🎸
Awesome, great, fantastic what more to say. 🙂🎵🎶🎸
The kind of video that makes you appreciate a song even more !
Congrats on your masterpiece
This is my favorite of yours so far. I was just thinking about the electric rhythm guitar beginning of this song yesterday, and then I ran into your vid. Thanks.
Best version of the song out there, you nailed it!
Cool and well done. An often overlooked classic.
Wow!
dude this is so cool i've probably commented before but damn
Awesome dood! Love that slide :D
That was awesome!
Fantastic performance. Superb job
Wonderful!!
love the new slide guitar!!
can you do a cover of oh darling at one point? i believe that it is john on casino or george on his tele
@@randallpinkfloyd yeah it’s actually just John on casino. It’s an easy cover, except at the end of the song there’s the high picking harmonic thing that he does behind the bridge on the strings. I can’t seem to get my casino to do that. Once I figure it out I will!
@@sampopkin alright!
Great job...John and George were a great guitar combo.
Love JL. Great job Sam!
Beautyful sound of Casino. I love it😊
I called it! Wonderful choice
great song. will be subscribing. thumbs up
There are plenty of these sort of covers on the tube, but this is one of the best, well done. Nice Casino & the Dobro is fantastic.
I couldn't find any other covers of this song actually, other than one fingerpicking lesson. Did you find others? Thanks!
@@sampopkin Sorry I meant covers in general, not of this particular track.
Yeah definitely a lot more solo Beatles stuff cominf
I hadn't realised this IS a country song until now...
Nice reso work!👍
Great video as always!
!! o0 Yeah Love that video keep rocking my friend :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it. Nice work!
That's it, i'm getting into slide !
Awesome, Sam 👍 for your talent and dedication !
Great video mate 🔥
Bravo, Bravo, very Good . Wonderful and clear sound
Brilliant as always Sam!
Superb job. Nailed it
I keep coming back to this video. I absolutely love this song and to see and hear someone play the dobro in this song is amazing! I do wonder… did you play it all by ear or did you find some sheet music or something?
Thanks! I learn everything by ear
The Royal Tan Casino is so kickass
Everyone after the post: SAM, how do YOU sleep?
Sam: I CAN'T sleep, 'cause I'm crippled inside!
😂
Wonderful :)
Amazing cover ❤️
Sam, ever thought of doing a guitar cover of Love You To? It's one of my favourites from Revolver and the new mix has a really clear electric guitar I've never heard before!
Cheers!
Yes, I’m planning on it. First need to learn it on sitar. Also, it features a rick fuzz bass so I might wait till I get one of those. Electric guitar is the fuzz/volume pedal swells
Fantastic! I'm excited to hear it. Best of luck!
I think Chet Atkins would've made a great stamp on this one.
A moment of silence to the people who thought it was How do you sleep including me, but I hope you actually do How do you sleep?
I will, I promise haha
Bom demais!!!
Sorry if it was asked but how did you tune the resonator? I'm playing this at a gig soon!
Open E tuning! George used this a lot for slide
EBEgsharpBE
very good!! congratulations! what is the tuning of the dobro, D?
Thanks! It’s in open E
EBEG#BE
@@sampopkin
@@sampopkinNice job on the dobro. Seems George and John favored open E on the dobro, most likely someone showed them! :)
Is the Mosrite dobro a possibility? The lead part sounds closer to a semi-acoustic than Hollow bodied electric overall. But that's just what my ears dictate.
Yes it’s possible. To me it sounds more casino but I do think John used a dobro on some Imagine tracks too!
@@sampopkin to me it doesn't ring true, no pun intended. The Casino can sound acoustic-y at times, but its narrower body means you can't hear the strings jingle as much as on a fuller bodied guitar. I refer you to nearly every song on Please Please Me as an example.
@@elirosen1391 definitely! My dobro is weird and I’m still getting used to it. Meaning it’s both very warm and acousticy but brash and bright when distorted. Casino can be same way🤷
@@sampopkin I'd love to hear how it sounds with the Dobro.
What's the story with the vocals we can barely hear the?
Will you use the Dobro on some Plastic Ono Band songs like Love and Hold On among the other guitar tracks on that album?
I will definitely cover those songs, but accurate to the guitars used on them. I don’t think there was any dobro on plastic ono band
@@sampopkin Going off of photos and listening to the outtakes from POB, John used a Dobro D-50E which he bought during his primal therapy sessions in LA. There’s a famous photo of John with the guitar in LA and a drawing by Klaus of what the sessions were like with John playing the Dobro.
I can provide some more info on those sessions if you’d like?
Sure sounds good!
@@sampopkin just sent a Google doc to you via Instagram dms. Hope that helps
Didn't John use just the neck pickup? When I first heard the recording, I thought he was using the J-160E.
It’s possible, all I know is the guitar is crunching a bit and sounds similar to the tone on How Do You Sleep. I want to say it was casino
@@sampopkin it has a tone similar to Sexy Sadie, which John also used the J160E on initially. Do you think he ever touched it again after the Imagine sessions?
@@elirosen1391 I’m not sure! But Yoko still has it so he cherished it a lot like his casino
@@sampopkin I know George played around with it during the "Oh My Love" session. But John surprisingly never touched it.
ruclips.net/video/qD06sTxFA9w/видео.html
I think John relied on Ovation for acoustic work the rest of his life, didn't he?
Yeah george actually messed around on the dobro for oh my love at first too. I know Lennon liked using martins a lot throughout the 70’s, especially the D-28. Ovations too but I think that might have been more for demo use as heard on Dear Yoko demo etc.
Remind me which solo made the cut: the main solo or the overdubbed one?
Overdubbed. You can hear the original solo faintly underneath
Hi
How is the resonator tuned? Definitely sounds like an open tuning.
Yes it’s open E
EBEGsharpBE
@@sampopkin thanks. It sounds right. George rarely used open tunings...he was such an original slide player. He uses a resonator guitar on Soft Hearted Hannah. That, too, sounds like an open tuning. Possibly Sue Me Sue You Blues is in open tuning, too. Those are the only examples that I can think of. Your playing is very nice.
Thanks! George used standard tuning mainly for minor key songs. A lot of his songs were open E- give me love, wah wah, awaiting on you all, Sue me Sue you. Some were open G tuning- if not for you, cloud nine
@@sampopkin thank you for the incites.
No upright bass?
I wish I had one
And a piano
Finally a Dobro but not really!
Very well done mate. Check out Juo Det.
I love juo det!
