damn, this is absolutely amazing

[BuddyClontz]

@BeatlesGuy1 Thanks!  It was VERY amazing when the Beatles did it!

Buddy, where did you get the poster in the opening of this music video? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks. Al.

[BuddyClontz]

@AlShaddai That graphic is one that I drew, then scanned into my computer. I dabble in graphic arts once in a while when i have a little time to "play". I have a website where you can find some of that stuff if you care to have a look at it.

Dear Buddy, it's time to say that you are our inspiration :)

Thank you for all your videos (especially the Beatles') :D

It would be fantastic if you could listen to our Beatles' covers and tell us what you think :)

We're a eighteen-year-old band that loves playing Beatles' songs :)

Thank you Buddy :)

Its impossible to create the opening chord of the record unless you have a full band. On the record George Harrison and Lennon are play Fadd9 probably with a G bass note (Harrison with a 12-string Rickenbacker and Lennon with a 6 string acoustic most likely his gibson), Paul is playing a D note on the bass either at 12th fret of the D string or at the 5th fret of the A, George Martin playing D2,G2,D3 on a grand piano, with Ringo adding a snare and subtle ride.

GEORGE TAKE YOUR MASK Off

@marycockburn1 Thanks...and I agree, I am definitely NOT better than the Beatles...but then again, who is? :-)

[marycockburn1]

he is good  yes and your coment about the opening chord is correct

but as regards to this being better than the beatles. dont be silly

[AlShaddai]

@BuddyClontz . Buddy, I doubled checked, and I confess that I AM WRONG and you are right. There are several chords that sound very close. The other chord is close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. :-) What you played is what George Harrison said the opening chord was. You have a very talented "ear". Your graphic art is also great. If you are selling any posters, I am a buyer. I will take a look at the website if I can find it.

[BuddyClontz]

@AlShaddai Thanks! Sometimes I things wrong...but that comes from playing by ear. Often I will go back and listen to a song after a long period of time passes and hear things slightly diferently...and at that point alter how I play the song.

[AlShaddai]

You are a great player and have a beautiful Rickenbacker guitar, but the opening chord is close, but incorrect. See "boneypart" "A Hard Days Night - intro F not G7sus4. I know you don't play the G7sus4, but what you play is wrong. Regardless, this is the best "Hard Days Night" I've heard. Better than the Beatles!
