Well here is one of the less known from Abbey Road. I decided to not include the vocal parts in the second half of the song, the "verse" so to speak. All guitars are recorded directly into the MBR with the built-in preamp. The drums are just my synth-set, lined into the MBR. And the speaking in the end of the song is through the MBR mic. When I recorded the song, and listened to it, I heard the how much Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross". And I had just listened to SRV's Lenny, and made this song in sort of the same fashion.

Great sounding guitars and great layed back feel, just so well played.

This is such a good cover sq51 , one that deserves more comments , i would'nt go as far as saying its one of the lesser known tracks , to me me this is one of the songs i remember most because of the great harmonies , but saying that , it stands well purely an instrumental , you have done well layering the guitars , and getting good tones , it had me singing over the top as i listened , i hope it gets more listens

thanks guys. with saying lesser known i mean that people not listening to the beatles, who only heard the most famous tracks, probably haven't heard of it

I'm sure I commented on this one yesterday Well anyway ......

I love this instrumental version of it !! Very well performed and arranged!

That lead guitar is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet  !!!!

The spoken word part works great !

Love it

great cover, so very faithful and yet totally your own.  I like it.

I like this a lot - great sounds and an awesome feel to it.

Beautifully done. I love this song, and the similarity to 'Albatross' isn't co-incidental - John fully admitted to the influence of that Peter Green gem. There's some great guitar tones in this, and the lead work feels very free and easy. Great treatment of a great track.

I was really enjoying this and desperately wanted some lead vocals to complement the wonderful guitar work, and then the lead gtr came in - really good treatment and a great idea. Lovely expressive playing and a great take on the original. The spoken part at the end is a nice touch!

Cheers,
