When i saw this song, i totally forgot about it and it`s one of my faves.
I wondered how no one has done it and had to try it.

The Beatles - Good Day Sunshine

You totally owned this one. Love the heavy take on this and such emotive singing. Nice Brian May tones as well.

Wow.

Brilliant job, Eric!!! I always appreciate cover versions where is something "new" and on your take there is!! You've done just stunning arrangement here! The guitarwork is awesome and singing, too! I take my hat off.

I'm not the first to say this, and I won't be the last, in all probability, but WOW!

There's always an ease about what you do, you take in your stride things us mere mortals couldn't contemplate.

But it all would do no good if it weren't for those mind-blowing good vocals !!! Man your good !!!!

WOW brother, that's really impressive work. Totally outstanding arrangement, the harder edge is hip & your vocal is really gripping. The playing is unbelievable, your a monster my brother & I feel eaten! (maybe that doesn't sound right?)
Rock On!

At the risk of being non-original - Wow sums it up!  Brilliant.

Great singing, great guitars - and power or what!

Fantastic Eric. You are one uber-talented dude. The production alone is worth the listen. Clear as a bell, great vocals, guitars, etc.

My wife and I listening to this right now. Great addition to a sunny, (but F-ing freezing) Friday morning!

Love it!

Dude, you knocked this out of the park!

It's got all the positivity of the original (maybe even more), and a wicked heavy and happy arrangement. Love all the attention to details (even the fadeout), and man, those guitars, bass, drums and vox sound utterly fantastic.

Hey wow! Thanks for the great comments on this. It was a fun one to do!

I`m starting to get more comfortable with recording as i disliked it before,  but when the result is something you`re happy with, it`s worth it.

The only thing i didn`t like on this is the recording of the lead guitar. There`s frequency issues because i didn`t crank the amp loud enough and use less input on my interface i think.  I bought a used Yorkville 2 channel keyboard
monitor for my line 6 pod because i don`t want to plug it in my mesa(afraid of frying tubes) and it sounds
really fantastic because it has a high and low dial and also a mic input so i can record a raw live take.
I also think i pushed the maximizer too hard on the master but i`m still learning.

This is fantastic. I especially like the vocals, but the guitar and drums are also excellent, as is the overall production.

I know it goes against the grain to say it on here but I've never been fond of the Beatles,  but you've made this song well worth listening to. Great arrangement, love the guitars and vocals, all in all a cracking cover!
