albertjohn Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have a gig in 6 weeks where some Beatles songs have been requested. I currently do: Here Comes The Sun Norwegian Wood Hide Your Love Away Blackbird (badly) Which ones do you do on your acoustic?..............easy ones I can learn in time, obviously!

BigKahune Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Another Beatles fanatic here. I know just about the whole catalog. Here's a couple that haven't been mentioned that work pretty good on an acoustic: A World Without Love I've Just Seen A Face And I Love Her You Won't See Me Fixing A Hole While My Guitar Gently Weeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I currently have 27 Beatles covers on my Soundclick site. So, yeah, I'm a Beatles nut. I do a whole range of Beatles tunes solo on acoustic: I Will Please Please Me All My Loving In My Life If I Fell (harmony with my wife) I Saw Her Standing There I Call Your Name Blackbird Here Comes The Sun While My Guitar Gently Weeps (acoustic version) Imagine Norwegian Wood You've Got to Hide Your Love Away A Hard Day's Night If I Needed Someone and the Beatles' related (written or covered by) songs 'Til There Was You (my wife sings while I play) World Without Love Bad to Me Nobody I Know Starting Over My Sweet Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjl200 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well "Something " is a good one, and The Beatles covered Smoky Robinson's "You really got a hold on me"" and that is a good one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G McBride Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I am embarrassed to say that while I used to know about every Beatles song by heart, as they came out, I don't play any now or remember them. I'll have to work on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevef Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 My son's school band learned "Let It Be", he was using his SG. When he was comfortable enough playing the song he grabbed my LG-12 and played it. He now usually plays it on the 12 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If you include covers...... I also do, You really got a hold on me.......and Mr. Moonlight.....(except for the beginning part, where John Lennon almost destroys his voice.....lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Cat Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hey albertjohn Any/all are good and always go down well.

Working on Come Together on the 335, in Amin (for my limited vocal range). The hardest bit seems to be singing the verse, which starts on the up beat, and syncing this with the rhythm guitar - I'm playing a sort of lazy choppy style with a few licks and bends. First attempts so I'll keep working on it. Thanks to all for the suggestions. It's slightly overwhelming but I'll certainly pick out a few. Aplogies in advance if I do not use someone's suggestion but they are all appreciated nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
