I have a a question. I'm decent, not great as a guitar player, can play nearly 30 Beatles tunes. I know that covering a song there are many different chord transposing to make it in the right key, as I play this song C - Gm without a capo, many different strumming patterns to sound good. I sing when I play, but in your covers you play to the recording, what's the trick to have the sound just barely audible to your guitar. Thanks

[BuddyClontz]

@ahafan64 There's no trick to it. I just use a Sony HandyCam Digital Camcorder set up on a tripod. If I use any background music I turn it down to a level that is just audible to me in order to keep time for the song. The guitar is then featured up front in the mix which allows listeners to focus on it as an instrumental part that they may choose to try to learn which is really all this channel is about. Nothing is mixed or prerecorded. It is raw and live when it is recorded by the camera..

"Ringo" fans....

In honor of Ringo's 70th, I hope U will check out my "RINGO"video. It's very retro with Beatleish touches & was done as a labor of love and with the utmost respect for the Fabs. My attempt at putting a little bit of the Beatle spirit out there for Beatle fans. It's also my tribute to George Harrison's slide playing as well as Ringo's unique style.

Peace,

Vinnie Zummo, former Joe Jackson guitarist

@Vazmusic Thanks for dropping by Vinnie. Back in the late 1970's and early 1980's I listened to the music by Joe Jackson and his band often. All the best to you! - BC

Is he playing a 12 string?

[BuddyClontz]

@fghjklyuiop I don't know...but I am...LOL

[tarheelnpa]

Beatlesaus - Where's your version? Apparently you know what "right" is so the rest of us would love to see. Curious though...how can Buddy be playing the wrong rhythm when he's playing perfectly in time with the actual track?

[Vazmusic]

Hi Buddy,

Glad U enjoyed my stuff with JJ back in the day. That's a wonderful sounding axe by the way. nice balance for a 12 string. Nice job.
