Thanks DeeringAmps!

Haha  on Casino.  Never.  Funny thing about my guitar is I bought it on eBay.  It is an Epiphone Elitist model.  They guy I bought it from was in a Beatles tribute band called "The Cast."  He played George Harrison.  However, it didn't come with a Bigsby like George had.   So the guitar has a lot of Beatles' music in it :)

I like this equal to the original . . . love your own stamp on it. Super clear mix and killer smooth vocals. I love a band called The Samples and this is in that same sweet spot.

I would only offer the crit that you really got your money's worth out of that one tom fill  :)

Really cool job, sir! I look forward to your next Red Button adventure.

cheers,

-Tom

Tom, thanks. I know exactly what you are talking about.    I found the best cover of the drum part on YouTube.  You can't even hear the song.  The guy is reading a chart and you have to sing along to figure where he is, but; that guy nail nailed the part.   I recorded the drums using my V-Drums kit.  I overdubbed all of the fills.  It was then I realized Ringo relied on a certain fill combination a lot in the song.

Thank you Max and Freddy! 

The left guitar is a real Epiphone Casino tuned down a whole step.  The right guitar is a Line-6 JTV 59 emulating an Epiphone Casino.  The tuning is a little crazy.  D-B-G-G-D-very low G that you can hear ring out at the end.  The Line-6 allows for this tuning virtually via emulation.  You would need a very thick string to tune the 6th string to a G below an open E.

Thank you Michael and Mahavishnu!    I thought I was the world's biggest Beatles fan.  😁  I'm filled with useless Beatles knowledge and currently reading "Tune In" with 1200 pages of more knowledge.
