This Song is where Ardy gets the closest to Paul's voice with the Beatles IMHO. This is a very good imitation and it is very, very close. I would put this as his #1 imitation, and night before is good, but this seems is his best...
It's really simple...this is the ONLY Beatles tribute band that does it right. The others can only make a faint attempt at recreating The Beatles, but there's just too much wrong; wrong insturmentals, wrong vocals, wrong stage presence. The Fab Four can't be touched when it comes to accuracy.
No nick, 1964 the Tribute doesn't suck. Actually, they are the best around, and it isn't that they CAN'T play Pepper material, they choose to cover only the material of the years that the Beatles toured, which is up to Revolver. They do in fact, on rare occasions, play material from the White Album.
Congrats to Ardy for playing the bass in the authentic manner. When Paul used to turn into George for back ups and those two guitars measured in sync, the audience would go wild.
I once had a chance to talk to the guys in Rain and suggested that they do the bass left handed. No interest to do so on their part.
For me before, Beatles tribute bands often came off as annoying and not close to the real thing, but when I discovered The Fab Four, i was mesmerized...
Big Beatle and big Fab Four fan I am. It's interesting to find out that Ardy is left handed...and he is right handed. Please inform me...how do you people know either way? Either way...he and the other 3 guys...are very talented...and I appreciate them playing the Beatles tunes with such "precision". Believe me...I know EVERY SINGLE NOTE of EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR TUNES. The Fab Four...well...they are GREAT!!! They do not miss a single note!!!
Having followed the Fab Four and knowing Ardy a bit for a very long time, I can truly tell you Ardy IS naturally right handed. The last song he learned to play switching from right hand to left, was Yesterday about 5 years ago. Hasn't played any Beatles/Paul songs right handed since. He will when they do solo George/John/Ringo but not Beatles/solo Paul.
Thanks for the info...Beatlechick1. I'm right handed and play rythym acoustic guitar. I think learning bass notes on the "other hand" wouldn't be as hard as learning guitar chords with the "other hand". I'm not taking anything away from Ardy. I commend him even more for "not taking the easy way" of playing Beatles bass notes. I've seen other tribute bands who "Paul" plays right handed. It just doesn't look right...does it? The Fab Four are the BEST!!!
You're welcome but don't forget that Paul didn't play just the bass. He did play other guitars and Ardy has played the other guitars that Paul played as well. Doesn't play ukelele, though.
Thanks Beatlechick1...you're right. Maybe he is ambidextrous. Either way...he is very talented and the best "Paul" I've ever seen. I would like to ask him about his "handedness" skills regarding learning and playing with the "other hand". Do you know much about it?
I do tremendously appreciate the talents and efforts of "The Fab Four" for keeping the musical legend of the Beatles "alive and well". I've read nothing BUT ...great comments of "The Fab Four"...deservingly so...they deserve it. Have you ever seen the "real" Paul? All six times I've seen him is...3 hrs. of excellence!! A true talent!!
Yes I have seen Paul several times, including the Amoeba show, and was with Ardy and some friends when we met Paul. The Amoeba show was the best I have ever been to in my life. I have seen Paul about 11 times but that was the best show, including all the other concerts I have been to, in my life bar none!
No he didn't !! only on his Rickenbacker did he have 12 strings, for songs like a hard days night and ticket to ride....his Gretsch was always a 6 stringer !
no hay duda que ardy sarraf hace un buen trabajo imitando a Paul,si llegara a juntar con el pata que hace la voz de john en the cavern beatles pues seria fenomenal.
One can never begin to appreciate the talent of Ardy Sarraf. Sure, there are other Beatles tribute bands with left handed bass players. However, Ardy is the only one who plays the bass left handed "naturally" ...just like Paul McCarntey. Yes, it takes practice but that is what makes The Fab Four the ULTIMATE tribute band! Rock on mates!
ardy is right handed in real life so for you to say he plays the bass left handed naturally isnt true.he had to learn to play left handed.but that just adds to his incredible talent.and shows how amazing he really is to do that.
You mis-understood my statement. Yes, I do realize he is right handed in real life. However, he learned to play left handed so well, to the untrained eye, he plays it so "natural" as though he was born left handed. Rock on mates!
WOW! I used to go see these guys back in the late '90s when they would play every Tuesday night at a little pub in Marina Del Rey, CA. I thought they were the greatest then, and I'm happy to see they still blow the other Beatles trib bands out of the water. They don't just cover The Beatles, they freakin' channel them!
