Dig a Pony-beatles-Home recording demo by walie

[legolas35653]

what is this recorded into ?

[lavaxtris1]

something is fishy about this. he can afford all these instruments and play like that but he cant get a decent camera? very fishy....

[w4fop]

Great Job!

[ajjules1]

great song and a great job performing it, i made this video 1 of my favorites, to start listening to BEATLES, great job man

[ellonysman]

Someone's a Beatle fan! Doing great there!

[boigband]

Son las mejores versiones de The Beatles que he visto en mi vida. Estoy suscrito a tu canal. Gracias por tu talento.

[favd2002]

cool!!!!!

[SgtPlmFry]

Really nice job, man! I'm jealous though.  :-P

[BerkLeeDrm]

wanna buy the original white album 8x10s? 40 two years old now? i ferget

[NomadRepublic]

Good stuff, man.

[fedetrim]

the note in the bass between 0:22 and 0:23 should be an octave higher

[arnosluismans]

Sounds awesome! I'm into the same stuff a bit (i.e. playing a whole song on my own), though I can't find any decent drum computers. Which did you use for this song? :)

[rauggo]

QUESTION--- Where did you get the Hofner Vintage bass Guitar and how much did it cost? thanks :)

[KapaMan00]

good job man!! I did the same thing with Rocky Raccoon.

[worldwatchabilitier]

Instrumentally, the best Beatle duplication I've ever heard. Way to go man!

[ADPFUCKER]

Very good instrumental job, but PLEASE don´t you sing anymore !!!

[1962jroberts]

excellent.

[mariomanta]

Great !!! great job and great equipment you have. Congratulations !!!

[dylandoggggg]

bravo!

[Braintap]

absolutely great! Just wish you had the video equipment you have now for some of these classics that you made.

Jim

[Zeyegin]

Is it an icon series Höfner?

[LBRAYE]

Very Good Job, Keep it Up.

[jeper1969]

Man,that sounds perfect.totally authentic,good job

[1rocknroy]

Grrrreat Job.

[gbmillion]

Commendable attempt. 5stars . More work on that "Beeeeecause".

[Bassplyr1470]

this is really awesome.

[pnessgtr]

this is cool. i did the same thing with nowhere man. the treble boosted strat though a top boost ac 30 and all that fun. but then i forgot i suck at singing and couldnt nail all the harmonies.

[2UISEE]

You Rock Dude,,The Edititing is real good too!.JRingo

[Monsieurmul]

Good Sound !

[ejacobdor]

Nice

[locoberzerker]

Pretty impressive. Well done.

[mah38900]

The French accent makes it cooler.

[grxengine]

I...Hi...HI...Hi...HI!! You can learn any note you play....but you can't teach it to swing. This is brilliant! The execution. Perfect. The feeling. Perfect!

[milan1499]

Ahhh ONE OF YOUR FIRST VIDEOS! YOU DID´NT KNOW JUN YET IN THIS VIDEO? ... WHEREVER IS GREAT ! IN TRUTH MAKE GOOD TEAM! AND NEVER FORGET YOUR ROOTS IN RELATION TO THIS!!!! A HUG

YOUR BEATLE FRIEND EDDER

((ºJº))

..-

[flamingburritos]

aww i love your voice.

[rvollin1935]

Very cool! Check out my vid, brother...

[pauloaragon]

hey man great song I would like to do something like that, what program did you use to make that record??? I'd really like to know

[wisesatyr72]

way to go wallie!

[montblancparade]

Tout le monde devrait écouter cette chanson au moins une fois dans leur vie.

[dimebuckerpickups]

nice editing

[AtlanteBeatles]

Great job Great voice and I love the videos you do with Jun626 keep making great videos

[Beemerboy324]

This is industrial-strength neat-o!! Great work. It would have been fun to reverse the bass image. Then you could tell people you were a right-handed guitarist but played bass left-handed.;-)

[uncobeth]

This is amazing -- the performace, mixing and editing -- in spite of the use of your digital camera to capture the video! Do you think you might ever cover any Paul McCartney & Wings?

[frenchytouch]

thank you! yes it would be great to cover some mc cartney!maybesomeday i will! thanks

[mccartney2011]

@frenchytouch

Dude, I have good news for you: you passed the audition!

[Breenyboy06]

Congratulations, You're now the sixth beatle.

Walie your amazing, I love the way you redo these things especially with jun626 and even when you do it on your own, its so hard to do!

a fith idol for my style of playing!

matty

[frenchytouch]

thank you matty

[Pensygirl54]

You are so awesome, great job, great voice, and a great video !!!

[eladraz15]

you're playing awesome, no doubt about that

and you have a great voice too, but your french accent ruin it a little

and i don't know why, but it doesent sounds to me like to original version at all (i mean to the guitar part).. and i'm saying it only because i saw you playing other songs much better

but you're really talented, how do you play so easiely the bass? the cover you did to "don't let me down" is amazing, the bass line is so hard to play

[coverfactory]

Cone on! His French accent is hardly noticeable dude! My mother tongue is French too and I wish I could pronounce English as well as he does.

Non mais quel trou duk quand meme!

[Bolender]

People talk about "the fifth Beatle." Now here he is. For real. -- Sorry for getting so excited; but you really are good at this.

[Bolender]

You are amazing.

[katiethebassist]

One question frenchytouch, Is that a hofner icon or a CT?

[diegoarnaudin]

congratulations

[Braintap]

Julien.... we keep watching these videos over and over..... just great detail to your performances! I need to be careful though...... I think my wife is falling in love with Frenchytough.....hehe.....

[frenchytouch]

hahaha ^^

[Damelogger]

hey bulldog - yes

[bragee]

really good... 5 starz

[Athenaikos]

Remarkable! I like it!

[waltere200]

You are multi-talented guy with guitars and singing capability like Paul! I love it. I actually admire performers singing and playing instruments at the same time more than those who sing only or dance at the same time. Do Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and the like come in mind?

[giannaluva65]

michael jackson is the most talented performer who ever lived =P he writes everything in his songs...from the strings to the keyboard.

[waltere200]

What? Wake up dude. You don't know what you are talking about! He didn't write all his songs, dude. He only started writing songs when he went solo, long after he started with the J5. He can only sing and dance but not play instruments and sing at the same time. That's not MOST talented performer. I must rather much appreciate Fred Mercury. Do you know him, dude?

[eladraz15]

you should try to play "hey bulldog"

the bass line there is very good, and also the guitar solo

[eladraz15]

you should try to play "hey bulldog"

the bass line there is very good, and also the guitar solo

[DMarriott81]

good job pal!! very good!! could you do me a huge favour?? and try out "everybodys got something to hide except for me and my monkey"?? think you"d rock on that :)

[frenchytouch]

yes,when i have more time,i'll do lots of other videos!there are lots of good songs to perform!!! see you and thanks!!

[jamesnorthernva]

Man I love hanging out on your channel, just grooving with your great tunes...

[frenchytouch]

thanks man,thank you for subscribing to my channel.

[Braintap]

Can't stop watching these Julien. Not many musicians/singers attempt the Beatles music. You do it all extremely well! I especially admire your bass playing, but all parts are just great.  Keep it up! Can't wait to see your next video.

[picchaz]

You have gone to Beatle collage and graduated at the top of the class ! Very much have enjoyed your hard work on ALL your clips !

"And your bird can sing" is brillant ! Do you know if George Martin has seen your clips ?

[frenchytouch]

hehe thanks,george martin?see my clips? i think this man must be too busy to see my videos haha ,whatever thank you very much,i'm glad some of you enjoyed,see you.

[beesting26]

You sir... are the man. Loved it. Faithful to the original and all out awesome. If you could get 3 competent people to play with you, you would rock the house as the front man. But playing all instruments has it own kick ass satisfaction im sure.

[frenchytouch]

yes ,it's cool to play all parts,but it's also a problem to play alone.thanks for kind words.

[JimDeYoung1]

Another great post, best on U-tube. If you even decide to play the U.S.... bring lot's of Euros....they're worth a $1.50 right now you know......

[frenchytouch]

haha..

[dralder]

Dou you make the drums too? and how you do it?

by the way you play fantastic. great harrison and very good voices.

salutations depuis Chili!!!

[frenchytouch]

yes,i use a drumming program,i just write and program the rythms i want and it's ok,for sure a would prefer real drums.

[naldm05]

Your fantastic! Keep on rocking with Beatles' music! I really love your covers!

[frenchytouch]

thanks!

[reynolds101]

Wow best cover on youtube braddah keep up the work

[frenchytouch]

thank you man!

[paulsalomon27]

nice work.

[ternqwest]

Awesome, great job.

[frenchytouch]

thank you!

[lk63]

Beautiful playing man, it's nice to see people keeping musical knowledge alive in these "DARK AGES".

[frenchytouch]

haha,thanks

[tycer18]

you modeled this after the live version of this song on the rooftop didn't you!? Clever I love that video and your version is deffinately amazing. Keep on rockin.

[frenchytouch]

exactly,the live version of the rooftop,which is also the original track produced on "let it be" album by phil spector.thank you tycer.

[Tayl0NP]

It is pretty lonely recording an entire album by your self, but I wouldn't have it another way because you have complete control over everything. It must have taken a colossal amount of money though... I'm still saving up for a drum set so I can complete my album... so lonely... :)

[frenchytouch]

it's true it's a solo work when i recorded theese covers,but i have nobody here to share my love for the beatles music in my neighbourhood,so i do it just like this,and sometimes have a cyber jam with Jun626 from tokio through youtube.I've been saving up money and work a lot to get all those things,but it was not that colossal,just doing business,and find good affairs.see you man,know what it is to work solo,and thanks.

[lalouno]

great pleying

[MarcDuchesne1234]

Salut frenchytouch, très très bon, beaucoup de travail aussi j'assume. Félicitation et vas au bout de tes rêves...marc du Québec.

[frenchytouch]

merci marc !

[harrisontomas]

man how do you do, you play all the instruments you??

me too i have 12 years and the beatles are the best band in the word and led zeppelin but ...

[tornmask]

"AWESOME" Dude!

[fboriani]

very good

[Magnophirol]

Ridiculous. Too much money. Too few tallent.

[Geritopia]

Groovy --especially comes together on the chorus, vocally and musically. Your voice actually gets better when you strain it. That song has a lot of weird time signatures too.

[frenchytouch]

that's true!thank you,by the way,thanks to all of you here who writes comments.

[BookofIsaiah]

Dude, I've been a Beatles fan since I was 5 (back in 1968) and I couldn't be more impressed with your passion for this music and knowledge of getting the right "sound" !!! Great job!!! I play bass guitar myself and have a small home studio using Digital Performer. I've always wanted to work on projects like this. Great Job, my friend.

[maccalennonstarr]

AMAZING!! Nicely done. Is your Hofner bass the "contemporary" series, or is it an actual reissue???? Very nice.

[DavidTyler1]

You should do some creative video work where you're onscreen with yourself playing all the parts and looking like a band!

BTW, did I say that you're very good. Really nailed the parts and, more than that, really captured the spirit of the material and the Beatles. I'm curious, what got you into the Beatles and what was the first Beatle tune you multi-tracked?

[frenchytouch]

hello ^^

I saw the beatles for the first time on tv when i was 8,it was a very short clip (like 30seconds) of a live performance in black and white,it gave me a strange feeling,cannot describe,but I've been listening to their music later when i was 11 years old;i bought the tapes myself etc..john lennon personality attracted me first to the beatles when i was a kid,can't explain ^^..i wanted to listen to their music whereas there was no discs or music gear at my house

[uboniuz]

in short you've become a beatlemania..lolz..peace

[Nulanula]

That strange feeling is nothing to worry about. It's just the shock of discovering that not all music is mindless synthesized dross (like today's crap), and that 30-40 odd years ago music was actually music, and actually GREAT music that stirred the soul.

[paragrintook]

nice gear!! great job!!

[musicalnine]

What type of microphone did you use in this recording?

[fredthejunkman]

Fantastic! Bravo!

[sweetieagogo]

fkin great job just brillant

[ac12da34]

a very respectable job!

[frenchytouch]

thanks

[Steven0118]

Great job frenchytouch!!! sounded as good as the track on the "let it be" album. Fantastic job.... you are a talented musician... keep up the great work!!

[frenchytouch]

[flagranger]

Good job dude. Keep up the good work and keep rockin'

[frenchytouch]

[Chicago10281]

Any record labels come calling? Motown? Capitol? Universal Music? Atlantic? Virgin? Great Job!

[frenchytouch]

haha,no,no labels come calling haha,tahnks chicago10281.

[TheRagBag]

Your stuff is truly all round excellent!

Keep it up!

What do you use for the drums?

[frenchytouch]

i don't use midi,i use vst plugins for drums :)

[opd28ifcranberysauce]

dude you rule

nice hofner

[tomwom51]

I have seen hole bunch of your videos and i think that they are really cool, keep up the good work, oh, and where did you get the bass from

[frenchytouch]

[animeloving2000]

Very very cool job man, there's my suscription, keep it going!

Saludos desde Mexico

[frenchytouch]

[GKLCVP]

I never comment here but this is different!We use to do Dig a Pony????It was such a buried Beatles tune people thought we had wrote it???It's great seeing you do it so good.I've used your video to get it back!!!Thanks

[frenchytouch]

[thebeatlesbootleg]

[sgtpepper1138]

all I can say is WOW, you're fantastic, how are you doing the drums??

[Roundymooney]

Quelle precision, bravo!

Well done, you did the fab four proud with that rendition.

[frenchytouch]

Merci beaucoup!!

[SilverHamer]

The respect you show to the Beatles songs you cover is absolutely great. I have not seen even ONE of your Beatles covers that is even just a little bit bad...they are sooo good!  When I hear this one I can still see the "rooftop performance" from Let It Be in my mind. Great Job, Walie! AGAIN! LOL. Cheers LC

[frenchytouch]

Larry you're very nice,i'm very proud you enjoy my covers,when i recorded this song i was also thinking about each beatle on the Apple studios rooftop.I tried to do my best with the lyrics too,that was hard.

[SilverHamer]

Well you did a fine job, my friend. This should make most english-speaking singers feel ignorant for not being able to sing in french!

[frenchytouch]

larry,ou know what?i've been in london last week,and i walked through the street named savile row and saw the old beatles "apple studios" where they played on the rooftop in 1969,it moved me..my friend took pictures while i sat on the door's steps.

[ruotze]

Man, you Cats are good!

[jm28775]

Thanks Wiley..you got what it takes. I'm a Mukti-muician myself and can pick talent+++..YOU GOT IT!..Good Luck!.Your on my favourites list!

[jm28775]

Hi Wiley..your awesome! got you on everyday!..John

[frenchytouch]

[junee37]

[frenchytouch]

[jm28775]

Love your sound..watch your videos all the time.a request if possible. either And you bird can sing or Think for yourself....John

[frenchytouch]

hehe,don't worry john,i don't forget you,i will post other videos don't worry,i'd like to make some songs from other bands too,but don't worry john,i hope you'll be glad.

[joulasylum]

Fastoche brioche! Quelle précision, c'est beau... *****

[frenchytouch]

:) merci pour tous tes coms,content que cette chanson pas trés connue des beatles t'aie donné envie de poster un commentaire!'(merci pour le com sur message in a bottle aussi)

[joulasylum]

Je connais souvent les chansons pas très connues, celle ci je connaissais et j'aime bcp, alors en voir une aussi belle performance...c'est top, en plus le travail sur la vidéo, c'est impec' et les ptites touches perso en fin de morceau improvisées par toi, ça claque! Bravo!

[fulci76]

great job not too about the singing

[frenchytouch]

ok well thank you.

[jkr1185]

sounds fantastic! great job!

[frenchytouch]

thank you :)

[Mcstarrlennson9]

Julien you ROCK! You're an AMAZING guitarist and bassist! Great cover! Your guitars are awesome! Oh  and great jof on the editing too! Peace, Diana

[frenchytouch]

thanks diana,it's always a pleasure to hear from you.

[reddwarfer29]

Top class job on this, you are a very talented musician! Love the Hofner, I will get one myself one day.

[frenchytouch]

i've been dreaming since i've been 12 years old untill i could afford one,i found it one day,i was very lucky.thanks for compliment,you are very talented too and i think your very

[wrdfsh12]

Refreshing...Not the usual "hit" cover.

"For You Blue"(old brown shoe) Another little played great tune. Request?

[frenchytouch]

i recorded "for you blue" on year ago..i could do a video of it...i'll think about it..see you.

[jm28775]

you guys sound great..music=100%..luv the accent..voice a bit soft but great!

[purpletreeband]

Great Job!! I'm diggin it and I'm going to subscribe!

[shostopa]

Sweet job Walie. Now how about that Beaver?

[frenchytouch]

thank u very much.beaver? what do you mean?

[beat68]

Well well well, You did it again, wonderful cover here! A great tune, I love it. Perfect Frenchytouch.

[sniperx33]

its a very good cover, you have an excellent voice and i like your telecaster. One recommendation, you should get a new camera to improve the quality of the video, the audio its ok. by the way, i would like to use this page to promote mi beatles videos, i recorded some well-known solos. check them out. good job frenchy

[frenchytouch]

you are welcome sniper,you can promote what you want,you're a friend.

[frenchytouch]

I learnt to play elctric guitar and bass with the beatles,and lots of other artists for sure,also with close friends when i was a beginner,but i learnt to play bass with paul McCartney.lol.

[coltonbraun]

seriously?

[frenchytouch]

lol,I never met him,but he's the particular musician who mostly influenced me in my way to play bass.when i play bass,even if it's not a beatles song,paul's bass melodic feeling is always on my mind.

[coltonbraun]

i thought thats what u meant...lol...great work

[coltonbraun]

great job...another reason i subscribed...did u take lessons on any of the instruments u play?

[SilverHamer]

walie, one of the things I like about your tunes is that you are not playing along with the original recording...you make your own backing tracks. It drives me crazy to be criticized by people who play along with the orignals while people like you and I are playing the whole damn song...go figure, eh? LOL.  You nailed this one brother! Great Job! LC

[jun626]

I realy love your videos.I have the ability to see through the genius of the musician.

You aren't yet wakened to your genius.

[frenchytouch]

thanks jun for your friendship you're touching me.sorry i removed my comment you ansewered here by error without the intention of deleting it.I'll try to do the connection you talk about inside of me :)

[jun626]

ok,don't worry.

[jun626]

Everything is Perfect...I know editorial difficulty well.Thank You for your Awesome job.I think this is the best cover video of the beatles!!!
