Nick Martellaro - I'll Keep You Satisfied (Unreleased Beatles song cover)

I've always particularly liked this song, written by the Beatles in 1963. It was recorded by Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas in the same year. They do a great version, but in my opinion, the Beatles would have recorded it with more of a rock feel to it, with some signature "Beatles harmonies." Unfortunately, no actually recordings exist of the Beatles performing this song, so I tried my best to recreate this song adding some of my own arrangements, while trying to keep the original spirit of the song. I hope you like it, and I'm sorry I haven't uploaded a video in a long time!

For all the music nerds, one thing I especially like about this song are two signature Lennon/McCartney techniques - the descending bass line that I'm sure McCartney suggested over the E - E7 - A - Am chords. And the ending chord before the break, at least on the original Dakotas recording, is an augmented chord, very typical of Lennon and the Beatles to do during this period.

By the way, I tabbed out the chords (and the elusive intro that most people seem to play wrong :p) for anyone that wants to learn the song!

oh man. BETTER vocal than Billy J........and I loved his version. I bought it when I was a teenager. You're amazing dude.  I'd love to hear you do "I'll Be On My Way"..... I'd have to check but I think Lennon and Mac wrote that one too? yeh?
