@ewe2 declared 

Here’s an actual cover:

Old Brown Shoe by George Harrison

Wowwww, it sounds amazing on a ukulelelelele!!!! beatlemaniacs_02_gif

I cheated, and recorded the bass in the original key of C then pitch-shifted it down to a more comfortable A# for my vocal range and the ukes. The wacky synth noises and other burbles is my Novation Bass Station II. It is so fun to play.

If you ever stop having fun playing it, maybe I could play it for you… it sounds a fun little solo. If you and me should get together, maybe someday, who knows, baby, you could uke with meee... a-hard-days-night-george-10

Also, I am not a patch on George.

No one is, I notice… but unlike the Beatles version, I can actually understand what you’re singing. a-hard-days-night-paul-10

It’s a really quick solo, tricky to do for someone who doesn’t play keys regularly like me, took me aaages to get down. But I like how some of my favourite Beatles solos are so playable on keys (and it helps to have a pitch wheel)! I am planning to get an electric guitar soon, so the nice little riffs like the one in the song don’t get quite so buried.

Do you own a guitar because it seems like you used a uke instead and a synth for the solo.

Maybe you should try posting more.

I do own a steel string, but its a huge clunky Chinese thing that I hate and want to replace. I’m planning on an electric guitar, but I like playing guitar solos on synth, I learn a lot from it. And ukes just rule. Don’t get hung up on instruments, man. You’re missing out on creativity.

Nice cover ewe2!  And talking of SG’s Blackbird here’s the demo I did of the acoustic part guitar I did for the BBB.  Ignore the hum at the beginning and end!

Another George, You Like Me Too Much, this time with kazoos! Yay! Again, I cheated and transposed from the original key so its a bit low sounding.

Thought I’d do another cover. This time of a John solo song. (It isn’t Beatles but people like to put their solo work in the Beatles sections.)

A wonderfully moving and emotional version of Nutopian International Anthem, @Starr Shine?.

I wasn’t sure it would stretch to that length, but it is hard to criticise your choices here.

I find it impossible to find a single flaw in either your vocal or instrumentation.

Your ear deceives you, It’s actually Two Minutes Silence. I’m disappointed, they are two completely different songs.

I’d tell you if I like it or not, but you didn’t even bother to show us the video. Anyways, I was thinking about doing some guitar covers of my own soon, maybe I’ll do a cover of Got To Get You Into My Life just to show the world that there’s guitar playing throughout the entire song, just need to know what to use for visuals instead of myself, maybe I can use a picture of the guitar they most likely used on that song.

I see, great cover, I’m surprised John Lennon didn’t get sued for ripping off 4:33.

You’re favorite episode of The Beatles TV show must be Nowhere Man /Paperback Writer , unless you’re eating deep fried Spaghetti O’s mixed with tuna fish on rye bread on the third Wednesday of July, then it’s Long Tall Sally /I’ll Cry Instead .

I finally did it, I made a YouTube video. This one is a cover of 3 songs on acoustic guitar accompanied by bad singing.

The songs are as follows:

1. Two Of Us (The Beatles, Let It Be , 1970, Classic Rock)

2. Nowhere Man (The Beatles, Rubber Soul , 1965, Classic Rock)

3. Sweet Home Chicago (originally by Robert Johnson, 1936, Blues, my version based off The Blues Brothers, Movie Soundtrack, 1980, Blues Rock)

Instrumentation:

Me: Lead Vocals, Epiphone Acoustic Guitar, a little bit of Harmonica during Sweet Home Chicago

What do you guys think I should do next, I was thinking about doing a cover of I’m Only Sleeping synced up to footage of the dreamscapes from The Beatles Rock Band, mostly the Nowhere Man dreamscape because I think it would work the best.
