Beatles - Norwegian Wood (This bird has flown) (multi-track cover)

-Lead Acoustic guitar, mic recording. 2nd fret capo.
-Rhythm Acoustic guitar, mic recording. 2nd fret capo.
-Custom Hofner Bass, using bass pickup and full bass tone through an Amplitube module:
Amp:Fender bassman 300
Cabinet: Bass 810 pro
Stomps: Full mid Fender compressor
-Sitar synth played on my keyboard. It's Syntar VSTi through a VST module.

The sitar doesn't sound exactly like the original recording but it's hard to get the same sound with a synth. Actually, the first three takes of the Rubber Soul sessions sounds pretty close to this, but in the fourth take (the one from the disc) they put some kind of equalization to it and it sounds a lot less natural. I couldn't figure it out, so I left this rough and natural sound.
Also as I'm playing on a keyboard (obviously, I don't have a sitar) it's impossible to play the slide (B / C#) so I made my best. Yes, it sounds different but it's impossible to play without strings.
I've tried to avoid the unnatural percussion (specially tambourine) so I didn't played anything at all.
