Band On The Run- Paul McCartney/Wings (Guitar Cover)

Paul used his Epiphone Casino and Martin 12-String. Denny Laine used his 1970's Fender Thinline Telecaster and an unknown acoustic. The entire song and album were recorded by just Paul, Denny and Linda in Lagos, Nigeria 1973. Their drummer and lead guitarist quit the band the night before they flew to Africa. They came back to London months later to finish the album at George Martin's AIR Studios

[@thebeaueverett]

not many people know this, but the secret to an accurate mccartney tone is in the t shirt/vest combo.

[@MournfulWhispers]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE

[@davidcastellanos881]

I didn't know that I'm getting a vest right now

[@jonathanbeatrice8317]

And an Epiphone

[@kastle4774]

the part starting at 1:20 is so iconic and easily my favorite part of the song

[@ktcarl]

Mine is at 2:16 when the acoustic guitar first comes in. When I first heard that part it reminded me of how a Beatles' tune would have sounded if they had stayed together.

[@robertocolman]

Only with this riff you can do Another song

[@ianeduardomarquezdavila2766]

Mine is at 2:06 that part an when the acoustic comes in!!!

[@mr.alexgy4523]

Yes

[@evyalley]

This song has some seriously mysteriously awesome guitar lines and you nailed them!

[@sampopkin]

Cheers!

[@rikkousa]

Especial the third quirky guitar line coming in on the second verse (charity)…such a distinctive voice

[@coopscovers5119]

The 12 string is your secret weapon. Makes everything sound better!!

[@Johngonefishin]

Gibson B-25-12, from the 60's, sounds woody and very much like the Beatles Framus 12.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Never seen (heard) ANYBODY get it right at 1:54. It's always been a mystery for me to play. Not anymore! Thank you!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks for watching!

[@barcodenosebleed5485]

That's what I was looking for. Such a vibe. Almost sounds like something a keyboardist would play.

[@srob7001]

That was a great cover! The tone of that Epiphone was soooooo good.

[@sampopkin]

Appreciate it!

[@pheonix320]

Even nailed the stereo delay on the slide guitar, nice one

[@francobiggi8488]

Of course I knew the acoustic guitar was coming, but when it started, man.. was so magical. Really loved it.

[@thegodofwar4160]

More people should listen to the music this guy released on his channel. It’s really good

I love listening to this, especially the trippy slide guitar parts at the end! Great job dissecting the different parts and instruments.

[@sampopkin]

Thanks Kevin!

[@guighs6477]

Please do "Too Many People" the guitar in this song is so great and i never seen someone make it right

I’d love to! Ram has some awesome guitar playing. And I have the tape flange, phaser pedals to make it work :)

[@TheDarkCow11]

@@sampopkin have you heard of the ADT abbey road collection plugin? You can get some pretty awesome tape flange-ish sounds

[@sampopkin]

@@TheDarkCow11 yeah! I’ve used it on some of my own songs, as well as my recent cover of happiness is a warm gun (combined with my Strymon deco pedal). I also use the REDD desk and abbey road plate/chamber reverb plugins on my stuff

Mccartney as a song writer certainly has some mountain top experiences and this album and song are among those for me. Your video only accentuates that and also Denny Laine's abilities. This has become my favorite channel- thank you 🎯👍🤘🤌

[@sampopkin]

Wow thanks so much! I couldn’t agree more. Paul got his mojo back with this album. Although I still love Ram and McCartney 1

Dear lord! I own all of the “ How to play the Beatles “ DVDs which were made very much like this ( split screen/ accurate guitars etc) very authentic and accurate, but what’s great about this is its Wings and taking it all into the next decade of McCartneys genius! Fantastic job mate!

The second transitional riff is just sooo good man

[@johnheart6890]

Holy Macca! That was awesome! I was surprised when the 12 string came in and then I knew that I was watching a genius at work! It was nice that one of the fab 4 showed up to prove the accuracy!

[@sampopkin]

That’s nice of you. Thanks for watching

[@gdholmfirth]

Bravo. Amazing how a good guitarist can make this look easy.

[@Belchmaster41]

it's not easy, considering you have to figure out how to play F Maj7, then Dm

[@runreilly]

Dude, that tone you're getting on the ES335(?) is fantastic. Well done!

Is that an American made? That burst is just great!

[@sampopkin]

@@jonamason6658 yes! USA

[@robinw3716]

Great work there. Note: on :30 , on the lead part, instead of double stop on the 12 fret on the B&E strings, try 11 on B and 12 on the E before going to double stop on the 15th fret on B&E strings. Try and hear for yourself. That's how Jimmy does it live on their 1976 Tours. It sounds better. I'm sure it's on their studio recording of this song. Again, great work.

[@sampopkin]

Yeah..that’s my one regret. People pointed that out recently and I wish I had done it. It was hard to figure that out but thank you!
