Only a true Beatles aficionado would take the time and care to recreate these masterpieces so beautifully! Thank you Sam!!

[@LeoDreweryMusic]

Agreed

[@TheEvbox]

This to me is one of the hardest beatles songs to get even close to sounding right and you got it nearly perfect! All those acoustic instruments leave no room for error, you have to get the touch just right or that lennon/harrison magic is gone.

[@sampopkin]

Thanks!!

[@RockinAllDay]

Didn't know there was a 12-string guitar in this song! The fact you're able to make such high-quality videos so quickly shows a lot of patience and love for music!

[@mercymallari1060]

You and Micheal Sokil literally rocked the Hell out of that song.

[@mercymallari1060]

Also, what colored button shirt is John and George? Because I can’t really tell which is which?

[@sampopkin]

George is purple, John is orange

[@mercymallari1060]

@Oh Ok.

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

This is great. I've never seen anyone play this sitar part before. I always thought that George slid between notes -- I didn't realize that he got that sound with bends.

[@sampopkin]

yeah because a sitar has a scalloped fretboard and big frets, it's easier to bend than slide

[@TwoBeats]

OUTSTANDING JOB AS ALWAYS SAM!!! The Sitar sounds awesome as well as the guitars

[@sampopkin]

Thank you!

[@christylasure7072]

Noice

[@Johnnyboyyy515]

Sitar is such a beautiful instrument, you definitely did this amazing song justice. Keep up the good work sam :)

[@rbstems]

Sounds exactly like the real deal. Nice one again Sam!

[@davidmontis7259]

Fantastic! Love the sound of the sitar. Very iconic!

[@johnniebellamy5912]

George Becamed Fascinated With The Sitar While Filming Help

[@MooEinstein]

It's so beautiful. I hope someday you do cover of "Love You To", with the Sitar, Acoustic, Tambourine and Fuzz Guitar

[@centoeberhardt1663]

One of their very best ones.😍🥰I should’ve started listening to Beatles WAY SOONER than i did.😭🥺

[@youarewhatyouare]

Brings back memories from better days

[@TheQuestion31]

The sound you're getting out of those instruments is so similar to the record I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Great job

[@johnwilliams1223]

That’s because they are the exact same models used by the Beatles to record NW.

[@adyhartmusic]

Love your phrasing dude! As a former member of a Beatles tribute your attention to detail hasn’t gone unnoticed! 👌🏼😉

[@sean68mtown]

One of the most beautiful Beatles tunes, very well done thanks

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

An actual sitar. That is going above and beyond

[@JacobKMusics]

First you jammed with me on “Can’t Buy Me Love”…then you did “Norwegian Wood”! Round, round, get around Sam gets around, indeed! Great work! The 12 string acoustic sounds so sweet and crisp! You’d like playing sitar with me, I do all of George’s songs in C in B.

[@Timothy4186]

Brilliant. Hypnotic. An instrumental masterpiece.

[@JH-si9oe]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌

[@DRguitar918]

You really nailed George’s style on the sitar. Sounds awesome man!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks Dom 😁

[@paxguymax2966]

Such as amazing cover! Absolutely love the sitar! Keep it up!

[@lloydaran]

I was wearing headphones and holy hell, you even mixed the channels to reproduce the original. Guitars on the right, sitar on the left, just like the recording. Incredible work.

[@gustavocassimiro603]

Love this song! Amazing work, Sam 👏👏

[@shouserules3231]

The opening is PERFECT! The entire song is, but you hit the exact strings in the opening. Bravo as always, Sam!

[@sauleahjarmenova6106]

Well done! Thank you for your hard work and beautiful play!❤😊 Respect for having learned sitar!

[@neilh9442]

I appreciate that you played the sitar w/bare feet. George wants it that way. Great job!

[@thejeatles4303]

Amazing ❤I really love the sound of sitar 🎉

[@patszer8314]

Outrageously outstanding! ❤

[@moozartney]

The guitars sound perfect. Like the isolated track itself. Very good job!!

[@evyalley]

Soooo satisfying 😮 I love that you took the time to learn a whole new instrument

[@plweis7203]

Sooo good Sam! Amazingly brilliant. Thank you

[@robinfoster7597]

Bravo, excellent work. I don't listen to Beatle covers, but you, you're showing us who did what and how. Excellent work, thank you. :)

[@saidcd2009]

Thanks for all the music you posted! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@woodenbeast9337]

George would be proud

[@StevenMorris]

Such a nice recreation! I have been enjoying your discussions lately about Beatles gear on your podcast

[@theborba1970]

Lindo! Cítara perfeita. Não me lembro de ter visto, dentre os vários artistas que interpretam as canções dos FabFour, alguém executando a cítara tão bem. Parabéns. Excelente trabalho.

[@oscardelosrios4258]

Nuce sound, pretty good on the sitar

[@NUKE.2024]

awesome Sitar work! You nailed it note-for-note. Thanks for sharing Sam

[@brilko2541]

Wow Sam! I missed seeing this …. did Sitar piece …. FANTASTIC!

[@wilsonrobertomarganelli7177]

GREEEAAAAATTT JOOOOOOOB, very well done, congrats, absolutily fantastic, beautiful, wonderful. John and George would be very proud of you and your job.

[@jamesporter5630]

I’m loving this series of multi-camera iso’s. Thanks for creating. The added insight (and sight) into how the musical fabric was weaved is fascinating.

[@sampopkin]

Thanks!

[@thewhaleking]

[@5150505]

Бесподобно исполнено! Звучание один в один! Минус будет шикарный! 👏👏👏

[@benhart8319]

I’ve been waiting for this one ever since you got the sitar, definitely worth the wait excellent cover as usual

[@judgetimbers588]

Magnificent work Sam😎🎸☮️

[@DandanGallagher]

That was outstanding! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

¡Gracias Sam! Buen trabajo. Nos recuerdas la fantástica música de Lennon. ¡Grande Lennon!

[@tareksoliman5]

Wow that’s amazing

[@ronaldoortiz1958]

Man that is awesome. Absolute amazing!

[@stringman509]

Just love the sitar

[@rockturtleneck]

Fantastic--I was fascinated by the 12-string part as well, never really thought about that before but now I'm going to have to learn that.

[@christopherconnelly4477]

George would be proud of you for the sitar work!

[@Douglust]

Very good feel on the sitar

[@slidetbone]

Bravo! This is the best cover and recreation of what is my favorite Beatles song I have heard. You did an outstanding job! And you have a great ear to come up with the exact chords, main and rhythm guitar strumming. And amazing sitar skills! Thank you!

[@curtis11214]

Sounds amazing Sam! Not sure how you’re always able to get it sound perfect but I am definitely not complaining, keep it up!

[@dfunis]

Sooo good. Thank you, Sam.

Buddy sounds exactly the same! 😮

[@maurocoimbra9624]

Besides the perfection of your cover, two things amaze me: you're playing all the instruments!... also, how natural seems to you to achieve such degree of accuracy... As I've mentioned before, beyond perfection! Greetings from Brazil. In Portuguese: FABULOSO!

[@sampopkin]

Thank you!!

[@joshwmusic6838]

Fantastic!

[@timmckeown1313]

Nice job Sam!

[@michaelgutman4910]

OMG! If you combine pics of all four Beatles, you would get Sam Popkin. Uncanny!

[@khsvox]

Wow, this is awesome

[@imdrrich]

Wow, Sam - your usual awesome work!

[@sampopkin]

You’re a long time subscriber! Thanks for sticking with me

[@mrflangger4214]

Amazing sam!

[@EmmaEmbla]

An absolute treat as usual!

[@HeelBJC]

Absolutely brilliant as usual. Obtaining and learning to play a real sitar instead of going the VST route (or, in this case, just doing the guitars) is awesome.

[@sampopkin]

Thanks!

[@beatlesfan2884]

@@sampopkin Can you do Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby from BFS, please?

[@jacobthomas02]

Amazing as always

[@stationtosaturn]

don't mind me noticing the sitar in the background of all of his videos being put to use

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

Fantastic job as always! This upload is a most welcome respite as I am struck down with Norovirus.

Oh no! Feel better Tom

very well done wowo

[@imarealperson-5412]

Brilliant, Sam.

[@canticle56]

I’m a believer. Really nice jam. You’re just a couple of tablas short of a raga. I mean that as a compliment. Your work here is note perfect, nice homage.

[@sampopkin]

Appreciate it!

[@roblund6919]

If you threw John and Paul's voices in there,you'd have a hit,an amazing recreation of the instumentation

[@diehardnygiantsfan6569]

Rocked it in Michael Sokil’s recreation and did it just as well here! Kudos my friend 🎉

[@sampopkin]

Thanks but I’m a die hard Eagles fan 😉🤣

[@updistant]

Beautiful and almost heresy to say the sitar sounds more melodically toned than the original. I'll get my coat!
