Now And Then 2023- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 ноя 2023
- The day has finally arrived! The final Beatles song dropped today, November 2nd 2023. I listened to BBC Radio live this morning to hear this song for the first time, then immediately started to do this guitar cover
You all know the story- Yoko Ono gave George a cassette of four John Lennon piano demos in the early 1990's. Free As A Bird, Real Love, Grow Old With Me and Now And Then. The remaining three Beatles tackled Free as a Bird and Real Love with the help of Jeff Lynne and released them as singles. They started to work on Now And Then, but because of bad audio quality (or possibly because George didn't like the song) they scrapped it. Grow Old With Me was never worked on, until Ringo released his own version in 2019
Paul and Ringo completed Now And Then last year, using John's voice (extracted with AI) and Harrison's 1995 guitar parts. The music video drops tomorrow, and we may see some clips of what gear they used in it. But for now, I can say this is the FIRST RUclips VIDEO covering this full beatles version of Now and Then
I made my best guess as to what guitars were played on it. We know that Paul and George recorded acoustic guitars together in 1995. In the short documentary about this song, you see Paul with a Martin D28 lefty, and George playing a Gibson J-185. I decided to use my 1969 Martin 00-18 and J-200 copy for these two guitars
George played a funky electric guitar rhythm part, as heard after the first chorus. It's unclear at the moment what guitar he used, but probably a variant of a stratocaster or telecaster. I'm using my Fender Custom Shop Sonic Blue Strat into my Vox AC30C2x. We see George plugged into an AC30 in the '95 sessions
Paul overdubbed a slide guitar solo last year, in honor of George. We may find out in the music video tomorrow which guitar he used. For now I'm playing my 2021 Epiphone Casino USA into the AC-30. I'm using an Analogman King of Tone and Comprossor pedal for extra sustain. The reverb is coming from my Altiverb plug-in
My Gear:
2021 Epiphone Casino USA Royal Tan
2022 Fender Custom Shop Journeyman '63 Stratocaster
1969 Martin 00-18
1970's Ibanez J-200 copy
Vox AC-30C2x
Analogman King of Tone
Analogman Small Comprossor
Neumann TLM-103

Hey Sam you covered this song 🎵 faster than Jimi Hendrix covered Sgt. Pepper 🌶 🫑 🌶 Great 👍 Job
At least I didn’t have to sing and perform it live 😂
Hahaha right. That’s fantastic
and don't forget how hendrix wanted paul to tune his guitar...
best comment
Lol great comment ❤❤
Paul's solo grows on me more and more with every listen
Same here!
@TheBeatles. restore George’s solo…if he ever recorded one. They worked on the song for an afternoon. Paul talked like it was his idea to do the solo when they finished the song recently like they hadn’t even gotten that far before discarding the song in the 90s because of the quality of the tape.
@TheBeatles.George didn’t play a solo for this song
Simple, tasteful playing!
@TheBeatles. They couldn't restore a George solo because he never recorded one. They didn't get that far in the recording process back in 1995.
Now and Then is now my favorite Beatles song. It has so much meaning to it, and it was released in my lifetime. Long live the Beatles
Sameee
With a bit of luck They will be all gone soon then we can forget they existed.
@@garethde-witt6433master troll and bait lol
@@garethde-witt6433Remember, 3 of the members are already gone. Ringo is the last Beatle alive.
The slide guitar solo sounds like what George would of done during the Cloud Nine sessions, very great. Also same day release cover is wild lol.
Ahh... Not even close. George taught the masterclass that narsistic Paul felt that he was too good for. Just some truth, as John would have said. Good job as usual Sam👍
Narcisissm is a mental illness, so first of all learn how to use concepts. Paul has his ego (as John or George even) of course, but he's far from being narcisisstic.
As if John didn’t have narcissistic tendencies himself (NOT narcissistic personality disorder). I’m sure Paul knew he couldn’t play like George, so it’s deliberately more of a tribute, I suspect.
Wow, you're fast as hell Sam!! Outstanding Job mate!!!!
Great work. Love the funky rhythm parts George played. Glad we got more than just acoustic from him.
He also did the electric guitar fills you hear during the verses.
Jeez you're fast!
Edit: OMG THE SLIDE GUITAR SOUNDS ASTONISHING
Great work, Sam! I mean, I think you played that slide guitar solo more Harrison-y than Paul. And those little electric flourishes by George, wow, in the song mix are so criminally buried, here I can hear them in their funky glory. Thank you so much
this has got to be one of the most impressive covers on youtube. It hasn't even been a day!
The quickest draw in the west right here! Thank you so much for this, I hope you are enjoying Now and Then.
Sounds amazing mate and the tones are killer! It must be so cool to see old voices and young voices blend together and the Beatles impressing the audience one last time!! This right here is proof that the Beatles never die. 💝💝🎸🎸🤘🤘
And just think that it’s not over still. A.I. will be able to write Beatles songs and use their voices along all the instruments.
I know that it won’t be the Beatles themselves but, it will still be amazing to see what it comes up with.
✌️
That 3:11 and 3:17 part deserves a solo just for itself. SO GOOD.
Is that part George on the recording doing the ding ding part on rhythm? Or Paul
@@joemartin35541George (in 1995 during The Anthology sessions)
@@tombeauchamp703 I thought it was I like that little rhythm part
@@joemartin35541 He played "Lead" parts on electric guitar and rythm on acoustic guitar
Slids parts are played by Paul in 2022
*Sam Popkin,* thank you for taking the time to make and post this incredible rendition of *Now and Then,* it sounds great also, can't forget the excellent camera work♪♫♪ You definitely hit this one out of the park♪♫♪
Amazing how you learned it almost straight away 🎸
Every time I hear this song I cry... I love your cover, congratulations! 💟💟💟
Wow! Absolutely brilliant.
Oh my gosh Sam! You are on it! So glad this got released so quickly! I applaud you!👏👏👏
I love this. George is my favorite Beatles and I wanted so badly to learn what he was playing ,as I’ve only started play a little over a year ago, and I thought I was going to have to wait awhile. Thank you for getting this out the same day the song was released😂I love it
Of course 😁
Although it’s Paul who plays the solo
Hi Sam, what can I say ? Your Sound to the new Song „NOW AND THEN“ from the Beatles 👏👏👏 super !!!
Hey Sam, I'm a fan of your playing. 👏👏👏WOW 👍 It doesn't get much better than that. 😉
I never thought I’d be able to say the Beatles dropped a new song in my lifetime. Nice cover too 😂
That’s a smashing blouse.
So far your best cover yet! I love the tone on those acoustics!!
You NEVER fail. Amazing!! Beautiful!!!!!!!
Awesome job as always! I loved the new song!
Thank you so much for sharing. Made me cry like when I listened to the song earlier today

im impressed by how quickly you covered this song, Sam! i love this song so much already, and you play it beautifully. great job.
Outstanding! Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing per usual Sam! Just made isolated tracks for this one and the accuracy is mindblowing.
I should’ve used yours! I had a hard time deciphering
When are you going to upload?
@@MusiFitNomadtomorrow 10 am! Going out of my schedule for this one.
@@sampopkinif you ever need some tracks I'd be happy to help : I'm far from the best but I think I can do an ok job at isolating!
I already have used a lot of your iso tracks for my covers! Always appreciated, I think you are the best
Enormous cover! Thank You 👍
Nicely done. That was a faithful cover with a lot of heart and soul. Bravo.
Damn Sam, as if we all didn’t already think you were amazing you pull this outta your hat! One of the most amazing things about your reproductions are how they give us a deeper appreciation for the original track & playing, and this is no different; you give their music a spotlight that accentuates their craft.❤
Nicely and tastefully done. Thanks!
Unbelievable how fast you are! Thanks for your hard work!
Beautiful ... love your work
Thanks for this tutorial. Spot on. 👍
Love this cover, learning from you to play it too by sight. Legend.
Such s great cover！Thank you very much for wonderfulBeatles songbirdHave s nice day dear my new Beatles friend！😂😂❤
super impressive Sam and what a wonderful gift for us Beatles fans to cherish and enjoy especially when we though this could possibly never happen. Great job as always!
Absolutely fantastic ❤
Very nice job! Thank you!!
I just simply love it, It´s like watching the beatles recording Now And Then
I was waiting... Thank you for this perfect cover... As for me, it's a honor to have the same name of a musician like u
You’re a machine, Sam. You’re really really awesome, thanks for being the fuel for what the beatles stood for: love & music.
Thank you for this gorgeous cover ❤
Dude, you are insane! It’s Perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Beautiful, man. Well done as always. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Amazing Job! In a quick time, too! Very surprised.
No time was wasted to make this. Great job mate!
Perfect as always mate!
As for the guitar Paul used on the slide solo, Sam, my four pennies go the cigar box guitar Johnny Depp gifted him sometimes around 2011/2012. He started using it for slide solos in the Nirvana collaboration Cut Me Some Slack that same year (2012), then on the song Appreciate on the New album (2013) and somewhere else here and there ever since
Good call!
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Great job, Sam!! I subscribed to your channel!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔝💯🎼🎸
This really is a beautiful song. Nice job, dooder.
Great stuff , it’s a great song
Wasting no time I see. Excellent job as always Sam!
Like how I commented on the 2nd part of the Michael Sokil episode of GTE that was released today, this now might be my favorite song of all time
Congrats Sam, I love your cover. Very accurate to the original version. Great job!
Excelente trabajo... Felicitaciones... Eres genial
Brilliant!!
Thx for sharing
Nothing greater than an acoustic guitar strumming. The chord progression on this tune is pretty cool. Simple but cool. Sort of haunting I think I heard one person say, those minor chords! That A minor to G sets it up nice
Great job well done!
Thanks! Awesome Sam - the slide guitar sounds awesome with great George / Paul tonal effects. Thanks for the close up as I learn to play.
Thanks so much! 🙌
Guitar version of NOW & Then? Absolutely brilliant! Well done!
That was great! Recorded really well! Just subscribed to your channel
