BeatlesFest "Happiness is a warm gun" Geir covers Beatles

[Geir]

When I was looking for a challenging Beatles song, this one came out on top (well except No9 ...) ..

I struggled friday night and all saturday.... counting 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3-4 ..... 1-2-3-4-5-6 -- .........

MBR drums was out uf the question so I did my best with a borrowed hi-hat and a ride cymbal (sp?) and a bucket and ......

I needed a bass drum and the snare sound so I pulled out my old Roland D10 synth and added some of that.....

Lesson learned : I am NOT a drummer !!!!!!!!!!

But it was great fun. .....

Such a tough song and you've covered it admirably. The guitar sounds perfect. The drums aren't bad at all - some parts seem to work better than others but your vocals bring it all together and give this a lot of weight.

[RMO]

Professional sounding to me.
Another great cover Geir.
You are a truly amazing musician....

Indeed, you are amazing and prolific. The drums don't sound bad at all, love the bucket tom toms.....

Great guitar and vocal work, it would take me months to produce something like this, you just churn out the quality. Well done that man!

Cheers,

Nigel

Fits you like a glove. This is one of my favourite Beatles songs and I toyed with doing a cover of it. I'm glad I didn't now - this is SUPERBLY done. You make 'complex' seem so effortless. And you hit that high note at the end perfectly! Brilliant stuff.

[FuzzFace]

This is excellent.

Really well executed.

Just excellent, Geir - lovingly done and with great attention to detail. The drumming sounded just about perfect to me.

I hear you about those time signature changes  , they can be a pain...but then again, those changes are a part of the sound and songs that we all love.

I'm still working on my next entry, and I hope I don't get scooped!

jimminy crickets Geir. This is most definitely a complex song. Excellent cover. The drumming wasn't bad at all.

So , so good , i think this rates as one of your best Beatles covers , the lead guitar tone is spot on , and those vocals , well , undercrackers pulled up tight i think fits the description , definately one i would have done had i the talent you have Maestro
