I don’t think any of peacejoytown’s excellent fingerstyle guitar Beatles covers have been posted in this thread yet. Here is his version of A Day In The Life , and there are many other impressive pieces on his YouTube channel:

Aretha’s “Eleanor Rigby ” cover is really interesting – she sings it in 1st person, she adapts the melody into a major-key blues, and she leaves out the last line, presu for religious reasons.
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Love Josh and his mates….They seem to have such fun that I get jealous……
The attention to detail here down to the few harmonica notes……makes me enjoy the original even more.
I have an email alert for Josh’s stuff so saw this a while back and sent it on to friends……..I’d forgotten about this thread..Thanks for posting.

There was something very special about singing Here Comes The Sun — a song that was so meaningful to me and millions of other people — on the album…

Offline I’ve been reading about The Beatles first professional recording session in Hamburg which I never knew was performed as a live group on a stage and so happened to find this quite good cover of Cry For a Shadow. I’d never really noticed what an intricate guitar part George had and you get a better idea from watching it being played. It shows what a good guitarist George was at this early stage of their career. On the original recording Paul had only been playing bass for a few weeks but it’s a good bass line. This isn’t a perfect cover but if you close your eyes you can imagine being in the Top Ten Club and hearing it live with Pete having his full kit (as he had his bass drum and tom removed for the recording session).
This is also a great recreation. Not quite a cover as they use the original song but maybe the bass has been added.

Offline As may have been noticed in other threads, I am on a bit of a kick on Tori Amos covering other artists at the moment, and there are a few Beatles ones worth consideration.
She covered Happiness Is A Warm Gun on her 2001 album Strange Little Girls. Woven throughout with reports on Lennon’s murder, commentary on the Second Amendment, and comments from the two Presidents Bush, with an almost improv progressive jazz sound straight out of the 70s or 80s, it’s an imaginative recasting of the song. Impressive guitar from Adrian Belew:
In 2016, Tori supplied the vocal for She’s Leaving Home on Montenegrin classical guitarist Miloš Karadagli?’s album of Beatles covers, Blackbird :
And Beatles tracks have regularly turned up in her live sets over the years.
“When I was ten, I wanted to run away and find him. Robert Plant…” Her own take on She’s Leaving Home , undated, the earliest version I have is 1996 and the latest last year:
From 2005 – Denver, Colorado – we have a haunting take on Let It Be :
And from the same tour – Cary, North Carolina – a version of The Long And Winding Road :
And Penny Lane in Detroit, Michigan:
From the 2001 Strange Little Girls tour we have a take on George’s Something (I do like how she generally doesn’t change the gender pronouns in these songs):
From 2014, pronouns changed for a change, Here, There And Everywhere (she does like Paul keyboard-based tracks):
And guess what she played the Norwegian Wood Festival in Oslo, Norway in 2015:
And you get the unexpected, like Rocky Raccoon in Eugene, Oregon in 2017:
And, of course, you can find multiple versions of a solo Johnny track written for piano (this version recorded 22 September 2001, in the aftermath):
