Taxman would be hard, thinking about harmonies (Heath/Wilson)

Any Enjoyable and easy bass line is: I want to Hold Your Hand..Lovely little run.

I don't know much about guitar, but And Your Bird Can Sing seems like it would be fairly difficult.

i think tomorroe neveknows also...casue even in the studio i heard they had a hard time making it

Bump.

I know for us, its a tie between Walrus and Strawberry Fields.  We never really nailed them but got pretty close.  Of course, we have a much stronger string section now then we did for the MMT album so maybe one day we'll get to take a crack at them again.

I exclude Revolution 9 because I don't consider it a song but instead more a soundscape.  Therefore, for our White Album performance I put together a short version of my own using a similar piano intro and the same chant ending but the middle is everything from the Tardis materializing to roosters.

I saw that someone mentioned Tomorrow Never Knows and that song is the only one where we break form and just turn it into a jam and let it go wherever it takes us.  I play my trombone on that one and improve around using some different effects and just have a good time.  You can't always play everything note for note.

Its kind of funny though where our mistakes pop up.  We'll typically get all the hard stuff but then someone will mess up a change in While My Guitar Gently Weeps since its fairly easy just monotonous.

Happiness is A Warm Gun, Hey Bulldog, You Know My Name. All the feel changes in 'I Want You You (She's So Heavy)'

Happiness is fun, we have that on the Youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbvUOVVQe3o
Definitely a tricky rhythm, one day I'll nail the tambourine part in the middle but the tuba swap kind of distracts me, heh.

I know what you mean about the "feel changes", we really enjoyed doing I Want You(Heavy) for some previous shows and get to work it up again since we're doing Abbey Road next year.

Tonight we participated in the local Christmas charity concert that is "The 12 Bands of Christmas".  Nothing difficult but our short 20 minute set was Sgt. Peppers Intro into With a Little Help from my Friends, Birthday (well, we're celebrating JC's aren't we?) Guitar Weeps, Christmas Time is Here Again and My Sweet Lord complete with southern black church choir singing in the aisles for the Hallelujah.  It got a full standing house, totally unexpected.

Did I mention that I'm not even a fan of the Beatles?  I'm a metal and heavy rock guy. However, being that I'm friends with all these guys and had done Darkside of the Moon with them that when they asked I didn't hesitate?  That probably makes me an oddity.

I'm told by a drummer friend of mine that the time changes in Yer Blues are very tough on tub thumpers. And Rain can't be easy either.

I think you forgot that little point! Beatallica for you then.

Hey Kirkwood. I loved the Glass Onion that you did. We just started to play that recently and had some fun figuring out that final cello outro. You guys nail it well.

Our little party piece we just done for a friends wedding was the Abbey Rd Mr. Mustard right through to the end but I want to take it back even further and do Because.

Dark Side of the moon must be a real pleasure to do aswell. HAve you heard 'Easy Dub Allstars' version of the album? Magic!

Lemme know if your ever short of a Macca stand in. heheh

BlueMeanie, I'll post our Yer Blues soon to see what you think.  We have Rain worked up in our rotation and Tim has a Hofner reissue "Beatle Bass" that sounds great. I'll have to dig through my recordings and see if I have it somewhere.  (Well, as long as he doesn't play too hard. The electronics in it are far from stellar and easily fart out)  And yes, I dig Beatallica. Brilliant.

Apple, much thanks on the compliment.  While I'm not a Beatles fan, I do really dig Glass Onion along with the stranger or darker stuff like Helter Skelter, I Want You, and Walrus.  Savoy Truffle takes me back to high school jazz band with the standard walking bass line.  The Pink Floyd gig was incredible PLUS we did it in full quadraphonic sound.  The look on people's faces when sounds came out from behind them was priceless.  I have heard of the Dub Side of the Moon but haven't listened to it yet.  I'll add that to my list.  Too bad you're across the pond, would love to have you stand in sometime.  

Very, VERY nice work, Kirkwood!  I've bookmarked Ed Turner and Number Nine.

Deffo! Well  brought up.

From a guitar point of view Beatles songs arent very tough if you are just playing what they are playing - the toughest guitar part i played of them is the intro to Octopus's Garden it is probably the most difficult part George wrote ive tried playing.

Tommy Emmanuelle, Laurence Juber.... these guys have reworked a lot of Beatles songs and they are Difficult to play, but i think the fact that The Beatles songs are so simple is one of the things about them that make them fun to play along too ( less time thinking and more time having fun)

Thanks for the praise Hello Goodbye!

Since a couple people mentioned Yer Blues and A Day in the Life I just posted ours

Please forgive any roughness, this was song #53 in a 55 song night, heh.

We'll start tackling Octopus after the new year.
