Default The Beatles - In My Life - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

Hi everyone,

Here's my fingerstyle guitar cover of In My Life by The Beatles. If I would have to pick my favorite Beatles song (at least, right now) - this would be it! I hope you enjoy listening. :-)

All the best & have a nice weekend!
Basil

That's a really lovely arrangement, Basil, and very well played. Your arrangement really brings out the unusually pretty and sad melody in this old Beatles song.

Hi Glenn,

I hope all is well, thanks so much for commenting. I'm happy that you like my arrangement. Yes, it has a bitter sweet melody. Whenever I listen to it, it brings an instant feeling of nostalgia.

All the best,
Basil

Wonderful arrangement and performance. The piano section was really nice. For those of us who take on this song and struggle with the tempo of that section, take heart that George Martin (the Beatle’s producer) added that section in (I believe he actually played it) and sped up the tempo in the final mix.

Again, well done!
