In My Life - The Beatles Solo

This is my take on the piano solo portion of the Beatles' "In My Life", fingerpicked on acoustic guitar. What I guess you could say I'm proud of is the fact that I've improvised this section all on my own, even down to the opening riff which I figured out on my own as well.

My improvised version of the solo does need a little work, but I atleast think I did a decent job at it. Rate, comment, and enjoy.

[ThePerro]

Hehe, above the fan on the wall is a portrait of the doors :D

[mpdsal]

Actually on closer inspection it appears as though someone else is playing the part and you are pretending to play it. Care to explain?

[ThePerro]

Youtube use to have a lag problem that thankfully got fixed. All of my old videos have lag, but my two newer vids show the sound and vid match up. There's your explanation.

this was fantastic.. but its not called improvising it when u figure it out urself.

[ThePerro]

Thankyou, and thanks for correcting me. My mistake there

[berluismz]

Good my friend, it is a solo hard to play and you do it very well.

[flyhead2]

Very cleverly transposed; shame the recording quality was so poor. You would be an icon if you were to break this down into a lesson. Thanks for posting.

[MaxxMason]

Nice job dude, but you're out of tune.

[heldman]

Cool. I play it different and without capo, but my fingers are fatter

[socalruss]

This guy can play pretty well. But, the guitar is slightly out of tune.

*thumbs up*

Very good stuff man. If you'll allow some constructive criticism, I think the first part of the solo (up to the D7/F#) is the smoothest, the bit after that could do with some fine tuning. Also, tune your guitar a bit! Other than that, I greatly appreciate you uploading this, I've been hoping to do a not-too-fast version of the solo and this gives me some hope.

[michuvede]

[losshack]
