Something about playing this on a Gibson J45 is so awesome.
I play the little bass run on the G to C chord in the chorus. They do something similar on the record. I think it sounds pretty cool. Check it out @CYPGMB!
Recorded this on my good camera and used the shotgun mic. Came out better than the ones I recorded on the phone last week. So Iāll probably continue tweaking this setup more and more.
Agreed, the bass line and the riff in the chorus added. Watching your fingers move from chord to chord, the embellishments, itās all such a treat.
The recording sounded good, tone and balance, and looked good.
To embed the video just copy and paste the video URL on itās own new line in the editor. If you paste it in as part of a line then it is added as a link.
Careful now, Joe- you donāt want to end up ābigger than the Beatlesā
Superb all-round production.
If the only tiny nit I can find is a visible electric socket in the background, you know youāve hit gold
Keep 'em coming.
Well that was jolly nice !! Not 'arf, some great embellishments through out. Added to my watch later list on YT so I can slow things down and see what you are doing. Given its ājustā a phone recording, sound quality was really good and crystal clear, as was the balance between vox and guitar.
A pleasure to listen to Joe, looking forward to more from you !
Yes that was indeed pure pleasure to listen to, quite a lot of cool embolishments and tricky changes but you managed to pull it off real good! All the best.
@Thejoechoi wow! Sounding absolutely awesome, my friend. Nice one for taking up the challenge too
Definitely prefer your way of playing the chorus and Iāll try to incorporate it myself in future play throughs of this classic.
Keep up the great work!

I canāt really offer any suggestions on your playing or singing, other than keep doing what youāre doing! I know this is a Beatles song, but your rendition gave me some Neil Young-ish vibes. Maybe itās your vocal. In any case, thatās not a bad thing!
Have you thought about adding some foot-drive percussion to your performances? Thereās those bell or tambourine things you can attach to your foot, or maybe a foot kick drum or one of those percussive stomp boxes. Something like that could take an already good performance and elevate it even more.
Saw an up-thread comment about contrast against the background for the video. I thought something similar: you should wear a bright color against the dark background and make the video pop! Not that it matters at all for the song. Just a thought.
