Hey Nick. Nice work. I like the guitar arrangement for the horns. You have made this song your own which is difficult. McCartney's high register is a challenge. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks for listening Peter! I'm thinking that in the near future I may just scrap it and redo the whole thing, now that I know more of the ins and outs of my recording set up.

I dug it, Nick! Great job arranging the horns for guitar. If I may offer a critique - try and make the bass more staccato, it's a bit too legato. Trying sticking a piece of foam under the strings right in front of the bridge. There's always palm-muting too.

Or, you could just get a Rick bass and use the wonderious mechanical mute. Y'know, for authenticity's sake.

If you'd care to donate to the cause..... .... ...


I tried with a mute, but I didn't get the hang of it at the time (I had only played bass for about 3 days when I recorded it)

I'm better at it now though!

Which Rickenbackers did you use on the recording ?

Here comes the sad truth. No Rickenbackers are featured on this recording, hence the reason it's in this section, and not in the Rickenbacker recording artist section.

Guitars used

Rhythm - borrowed Tele
Lead 1 - My Gibson SG
Lead 2 - Borrowed Tele
Bass - Epiphone EB-3
backwards guitar - SG

I think that's it!

thanks for listening!

Even without a Rick, I thought it was groovy man!
