The Beatles

Notes :

  • Start playing after the 4th hit of the HH count-in
  • Interesting that this song was written in D and slowed down to Db for the album; depending on which recording you hear, it may be in either key; this version is in Db
  • John Lennon began to pen the lyrics “pools of sorrow, waves of joy” when he couldn’t sleep after arguing with his then wife Cynthia
  • David Bowie did a cover of this song for his Young Americans album in 1975 and John played guitar

Requires :

  • v1 Vintage Ludwig
  • v2 NP Vintage Ludwig with Bass
  • v3 STAX Harpsichord v2

Includes : 3 songs, MIDI source file and Chords & Lyrics (in Word [in case you feel the urge to change the key] and pdf)

Hi Persist,

I love this song but I do not have any of these kits. Any idea of what could be used instead (ideally amongst Phil Flood missing kits list)?
I thinks those three are part of special purchase from SS right?
Thanks for your advice.
Jeff

The kit for the v3 song is here

For the v1 and v2 songs you can use Phil_Flood’s substitute kits. Use the 62-91kit for v2.

Thanks for the help.
I’m using V3 with STAX Harpsichord. I was a bit confused at the beginning with the drum on the first bar of the intro as there is none on the original recording. Also I noticed that sometimes the change of chord don’t fit with the first (or third) time of a bar but I guess this is because of the few 5 times bars… Finally it works well but there is a chorus missing at the end after verse 3 and before outro, should you want to make an update, I’ll take it!
Jeff
