Members Mad Max Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 jas... he did have an obnoxious side to him, particularly after the band broke up. i mean, you would have to be pretty damned arrogant to fall in love with the brilliant artist that created (well, thought of, didn't actually build) this; Ok.

Members gil1 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'm not sure why people keep talking about flaws in Beatles music. It was pretty dam polished, and the parts were played very exactly. I think what you hear more of now is a large amount of attention and skill put to engineering a certain sound, a tone. That's gone a bit too far, in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dparr Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 If only John Lennon had 15 rackmount delays in parallel, he would've been making way better music and be disgustingly preachy and have a ridiculously overinflated sense of self-worth. All John Lennon needed was a guitar to make great music! An overinflated sense of self-worth is much better than a winey underinflated sense of self doubt that comes out of much of todays music.

Members letterswewrote Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 dparr... thats actually a good point. i would rather listen to lennon than dashboard confessional (or whatever variation is popular at the moment) whine about losing a girlfriend to a cement truck or whatever the {censored} it is they sing about.

Members Knowdice Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Reapproach recording techniques. To that end, this is a great read on recording the Beatles http://www.amazon.com/Here-There-Everywhere-Recording-Beatles/dp/1592401791 Geoff Emerick enginered most of their records. The book really gives a new perspective their music. A lot of standard techniques (guitar/vocals through a leslie, close mic-ing, tape loops, etc.) were developed on the spot during those recordings. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doug deeper Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 write long chord progressions, but syd barrett does that even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzinator Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I wouldn't be playing guitar if it wasn't for The Beatles. I would have stuck with my original plan to play drums. I would be a {censored}ty drummer, I bet! I never really tire of The Beatles. Sure, I've outgrown a lot of pre-Rubber Soul stuff, or should I say I've simply tired of it. But I can never tire of their 66 to 70 material. I listen to a huge variety of music, and these days tend towards a lot of obscure and avant garde music, but The Beatles will always be the foundation for me. Along with Led Zeppelin, Velvet Underground and a handful of blues artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members General Delgado Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Add tasty little nuggets and alterations to what would otherwise be repetitive chord patterns. Throw a couple 3/4 or 2/4 measures here and there in an otherwise 4/4 song. Buy an Epiphone Casino. Wear a suit everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kittycaster Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 ... inspires me to cover one of their majestic songs - my humble attemp here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2943&alid=-1it's "SFF" = Strawberry Fields Forever. it's just a demo i did on my own, i'm planning on putting some real drums on it and replace the vocals with one in tune - but i love the sounds!!! Awesome!!!! Great sounds! I'm curious to know what you used on this track? Here's my version of I Am The Walrus. I play all the parts except for the drums. I did all the "string" parts with an eBow:http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=341725&songID=2404306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
