BeatlesFest "Octopus’s garden" Geir covers Beatles

[Geir]

We still have a few more songs to complete a full Beatles-album. This is my contribution to completing "Abbey Road" ...

I actually have been thinking of doing it a long time, I think Ringo deserves a cover too!!

I kept it fairly simple, and not having my bass I used the acoustic with the fretless-bass-sim on the BR800. Drums are just the an arrangement of preset-patterns.

Octopus's Garden

w/m: R. Starkey
Performed and recorded on Boss BR800 by Geir
Instruments used:
Morgan Acoustic guitar
Morgan Acoustic guitar as bass

Nice one, Geir. I liked your arrangement a lot - kind of a folky flavor to the guitars and singing, and those drum patterns and kits on the 800 sound really good.

And there's an interesting story of how the song came to be written, reported here.

So this means there are now just two songs remaining from 'Abbey Road' to complete it?

I always liked this song. You made it so much better though - It does have that folkiness to it that only the Gman could deliver!

Braw, tell yer maw!!

[Bluesberry]

Yeah thats the way to do it.  Kinda like how St.Thomas would have done it, great version.

[Flash Harry]

Great fun. It has the same vibe as the original but ts exquisitely Geir.

Nice nice nice!

[Gnasty]

I knew someone would do this and i somehow knew it would be you

This sounds oh so funner and better than the original. I actually never liked this song to tell you the truth

But your version sounds so more upbeat and the Geir voice is oh so good.

Love the bass line!!

[Damián]

Cheers!! Super cool and fresh version!!

Yeah!! Mi vote for Ringo´s cover is "You're Sixteen"
