BeatlesFest "I'm Looking Through You" Geir covers Beatles

I had a few hours and needed a break from another Beatles song coming up (some of those bass-lines are impossible )

Screaming my lungs out, I guess I should have tuned down the guitar instead of using a capo

Fantastic cover Geir. Your vocal range is amazing. The sounds compiled in this one is a labor of love isn't it? You got a red belly now don't you?

[Bluesberry]

Hot damn Geir this is fun-fun-fun. 

[des0free]

Very, very nice!  I especially like the "thigh" and "belly" instruments -- if I can find them at the local guitarcenter I think I will buy some!

[cuthbert]

Awesome, Geir!

Great cover of one of my favorite Paul songs from 'Rubber Soul'. The belly and thigh slaps are inspired, love the fuzz lead, and even if you had to scream, your vocals still sound great!

Top notch.

cheers,
cuth

p.s. I hope your throat is okay...I recommend hot lemon tea with honey.

Great cover and a great sound, just a fantastic listen, works so well.

[Gritter]

Nice one Geir...I miss Ringo's keyboard part a bit but I like how you've done it on guitar.

F*ck me... this is a stunner. I love this song. In fact, I rate the whole of the Rubber Soul album right up there with the Beatle's best work. This is a very hard song to tackle, so to say you've really done a great job with this is an understatement. Everything about it feels right. I love it. Love the shaker and body percussion too!

As for being frustrated with Paul's bass lines, I know exactly what you mean. I had to abandon all hope of emulating him (or even getting close), and just ended up doing my own thing. He's way too tricky and far too clever, lol.
