With two brilliant versions already posted, the heavy duty satchalicious one and the high-voltage version from the bluesvoice himself, I had to take another approach....

I picked up my acoustic, still tuned CGCGCC after "Within you without you" and recorded two tracks of rhythm and one lead. One take on the lead vox and added some subtle harmonies ..... It's a very rough quick-and-durty version ... but I think this song can take it Cheesy

Come Together
w/m:Lennon&McCartney
performed by Geir
acoustic guitar and voice recorded with built-in mic on MicroBR

In a word: stunning. The Delta Blues / slide treatment works brilliantly (not least because you play it so well!). I think Lennon would have approved. What one are you doing next?!

This is amazing Geir! Simple arrangement works so well...like a cool breeze on a hot, hot day. This version could make a snowman sweat! You've out done yourself on this one...once again.

Nice bloozy slide playing! And a great re-telling of the original - where do you find the time?  Grin

Along with Greeny's Eleanor Rigby, my favourite BeatlesFest entry. 'Nuff said.
