Captured! Some criticism is warranted by comparison to so much of the rest being spot on, says this jazzer who started out listening to the Beatles in 1964. They were the right group with the right sound for the era. When I saw macca in 2002 I finally got my wish to sing with him, along with 20,000 other people of 4 generations. EVERYONE was singing.
It's good, but I get then feeling that you are trying to be as perfect as the original. I detect the slow playing in order to replicate the original notes note for note. Just go with the groove and let yourself feel it, then it will sound better. Most often, timing is better than being in perfect key.
E' bellissimo vedere ragazzi e ragazze, che i Beatls non hanno conosciuto nel loro periodo, suonare con tanta bellezza e passione le canzoni dei Fab four
Obviously, educated and literate music students. I.e great studio musicians (including the bass player.). Don’t expect to see rock idol prancing and posing from them.
Just because the first guitar is physically attractive and female , amidst some good musicians all loving their work - no one will praise her. Odd times . Second guitar was cool too
That's quite an assumption on your part. Your comment reveals that you have reduced this musician to her (dare I say) gender and how you fancy her. You mentioned nothing of her musical technique, style, or performance. In fact, many here have praised the entire band, which includes her. I don't think anyone here is trying to disenfranchise her in any way--that is all your perception. I believe most of the people here are actual Beatles aficionados and musicians that have demonstrated objectivity and integrity by not gratuitously praising her only because she is female and have respected her by not sexualizing her. Since you pressured us to praise her, I offer this: she should be recognized for having the courage and tenacity to attain this level of guitar playing when most girls her age don't have such an interest. She should also be praised for not hypersexualizing herself like most female artists these days. I think praising anyone because of their sex, gender, race, color, etc. only reveals their own bigotry and their meager attempt to cover it up. For their ages, this performance overall was a good interpretation. I found some of the guitar work a bit sterile to praise, but I can only imagine immense improvement in their technique with a lot more feel if they continue practicing. In all fairness, maybe the guitars would have sounded better if the engineer turned up their gain a little and if they used different effects, e.g., more overdrive. They seemed to be holding back a little. Maybe it's lack of experience, and maybe it just goes to show how difficult it is to capture the feel of the original vocals on an instrument. Instrumental versions like this tend to sound academic. However, kudos to the keyboardist! He should be touring with a band--like NOW! And kudos to the band director who brought this performance together.
