I did a cover of this song years ago (it's on KZbin), but I was never satisfied with it. So now, I did it again - but this time, Beatles-style! My main goals were 1) more emphasis on Vox Continental organ, 2) a melodic McCartney bass line, 3) closer Lennon/McCartney harmonies.
I screwed up the lens focus on the guitar shots, so I decided to include chord diagrams to distract my viewers from this obvious technical error. ;) I tried to provide two chord positions to show how you can use two different guitars to have variation.
As far as the harmonies, Mike Smith's original arrangement is wonderful. The only change I've implemented over the years (including my original from a decade ago) is that I like to raise the low harmony during the bridges on two sections - "I don't think of you" and "makes me blue." In my imagination, I feel that Lennon would have travelled upwards with McCartney, similar to "If I Fell." On the "makes me blue" part, raising the low harmony allows you to emphasize the augmented chord as well - a very tested Beatles technique.
Doubt anyone will notice this detail, but my violin bass changed. Yes, it's the real deal. ;) Hofner "Mersey" handmade in Germany, identical specs to Paul's. Only took me a decade to save up the cash! And a year of waiting for them to craft it. Really thrilled with the woody bass tone the Hofner provides. More details on this wonderful instrument coming soon!
