The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (live tribute with Sitar)

[punkymaus]

wow....I liked this very much. thank you. :D

[marycockburn1]

no capo  on the acoustic??

[4our5ive6ix]

@marycockburn1 The sitar was tuned to D.. we used it for Across The Universe a little later too and didn't want to mess around tuning it in a short space of time, so we decided to drop the key of Norwegian Wood instead of raising Across The Universe to E.

[marycockburn1]

no problem  mate i didnt meen to sound disrespectful i just wondered sorry

[4our5ive6ix]

@marycockburn1 s'all good dude!

[marycockburn1]

@marycockburn1 ive just won a john lennon acoustic but its  just the vintage version. not the epiphone or the real gibson. im looking forward in hearing it cheers

[numanuma20]

@4our5ive6ix I hear the sitar is hard to play, because you use the western notation? Is that true?

[justsmilehomie]

@4our5ive6ix Hi. I really liked your cover of this song, but why do you imitate The Beatles when you can make your own group with your style and then make covers of some songs. No one remembers Bruce Li and Bruce Ly, but everybody does remember Bruce Lee. If you want people to remember you then you should make your own style.

Regards.

[4our5ive6ix]

@justsmilehomie Why? Because it's a job! I get payed to play some of the best popular music ever written. I'd be a fool not to! I have other bands and original things going on too but I try not to take it so seriously. That's more a hobby, a creative outlet. I'm not really bothered about being remembered lol. I'm fine just living a happy life playing great music and enjoying myself, and providing some light entertainment :) Peace x

[justsmilehomie]

@4our5ive6ix OK, keep on rocking broh ;)

[EPIGIBSONPHONE]

Beatles imitation idiots



[4our5ive6ix]

@loverocknroll17800 making a living playing some of the best music ever written does not seem all that idiotic to me. Leaving lame, faceless YouTube comments however, does.

[loverocknroll17800]

@4our5ive6ix Do not mimic the Beatles.

Be like yourself.

You can not come to a place by the Beatles imitation.

can not be a crap.

dream to be successful you will see, such as the Beatles.

anything else likened.

Idiots

[4our5ive6ix]

@loverocknroll17800 The way I see it, I get to travel the world and meet amazing people from all different cultures and walks of life. It's humbling to see an old man weep as you perform She's Leaving Home, or a little girl playing air guitar along to Revolution. We each do our own individual stuff in our own time to get creative, we'd go mad otherwise! It's just a job to pay the bills like any other. We please lots of people, but you cant please everyone hey! Still, beats working in an office

[Rockinraccoon1968]

@loverocknroll17800 Take your cynicism to a video about politics or religion or something and leave the rest of us to enjoy the music

[BayouBluesMan]

I BET they even do each other's wives just like the beatles did.

Even their instruments look period

[4our5ive6ix]

@BayouBluesMan we do yours too ;D

[chandramaofficial]

My band Chandrama just posted a video on our channel, a cover of George's "It's All Too Much" with sitars and things on it, and sung in Nepali. The Beatle's organization was super easy to deal with on the licensing approval. We hope George would have approved. You can see it on our channel, and please do.

[cbimbi]

how much and where would u buy a sitar like this beatiful one showed here?

[Burnzi2]

Pretty good as tribute acts go.

[megakiller999]

am i the only one who noticed the right handed sitar behind the sitar?!?!?

[4our5ive6ix]

@megakiller999 it's a right handed spare hoffner bass which the lennon uses when the macca is on piano

[kraken589]

@megakiller999 looked more like paul's bass to me

[Rockinraccoon1968]

impressive! i've not seen a beatles tribute pull this off sitar n all, hats off! watched a few of your videos on here, will have to try and catch you sometime. shame about the mccartney guy tho, weak link!

[2249Ace]

why is he using a pick on sitar?!

[4our5ive6ix]

@2249Ace a sitar pick is called a mizraab :) just helps with that twang!

[Migglyman]

this is a great cover of this tune, the sitar isn't an easy instrument to play, but this guy makes it seem effortless.

[1069kris]

0:07 George voices wow!!

[QueenBeatlesWings]

its rare to hear a cover of this song- its a good song- amazing band the Beatles were, George was so multi talented

[simockslo]

this is the best cover version of this song
