And I Love Her

[reeve21]

One of Paul’s early masterpieces. Nothing fancy about it, just a great song!

I’m trying to learn as many Beatles songs as I can these days. So many beautiful melodies and interesting chord progressions and harmonies.

My Farida 00 into a usb mic to iPad video recorder, no processing.

Thanks for listening

Hi Bob,

That was really well done! I have always loved this song since I was in early high school! Paul McCartney always sang so ridiculously high, singing this song was quite a challenge. But playing this song as an instrumental solves that vocal challenge. I like the arrangement!

It's also very interesting for me to hear you play that Farida. What an appealing, full sounding guitar, especially for a 00 size. And it's an attractive guitar with that very Gibsonesque sunburst finish. Really nice!

Well done Bob!

[Mr. Paul]

Super sweet, Bob!

[FingahPickah]

Well done. Always a favorite melody. Love the arrangement.

Great job Bob. Your Farida sounds wonderful. Keep those Beatle tunes coming. Whose fingerstyle arrangement did you use?

Thank you very much, Glenn. I have great trouble singing Beatles tunes, so this is the next best thing

The Farida is gem. I’ve had it over a year and a half and it gets 90% of my playing time, maybe more. Hard to believe it’s only 400 bucks or so.

Thanks Bob, that means a lot. The arrangement is out of a Hal Leonard book aimed at intermediates. But my guitar teacher does serious surgery on almost any arrangement I bring him. He knows most of the tunes by ear, and if necessary we listen to the original recording. This one got changed less than usual. It’s great to have someone who can improve the voicings, fingerings etc. and keep you focused to make progress week to week.

There’s 30 tunes in this book and I’ve got another one with some others, so I suspect the next year so will be focused on the Beatles. I was just starting to get into music when they broke up, so I actually didn’t know this song very well at all. They were something else

Bob,

Thanks for the intel on this book. You might also like Doug Young’s arrangements of For No One, In My Life, and I Will.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob, I checked out Doug’s arrangements and videos, really cool stuff. May convince me to learn something in a alternate tunings! Thanks

Always appreciate your encouragement, Barry! I hope the flooding situation is improving. I have a daughter in your area, she was largely spared, but shaken for sure.
