I'm Only Sleeping - Beatles

I think this was tuned down a little, or the tape was slowed.

@7777srd That's A and G strings at the 2nd fret, D and B strings at the 3rd fret.

Great viseo. Question :at 1:28 it looks like you play E major instead of minor when it goes back to the verse. Is that just a miscue or did John play an E there.

A lot of VSO(variable speed occilator) on that album so it was slowed on this. For no One is another thats terated the same.

Great playing on what I consider do be The Beatles best CD. Revolver is a great piece of work. I don't think this song was originally on the album? Anyway, I love this song and the whole album! Mt favorite is Lennon's last song on the CD "Tomorrow never knows" . Fucking brilliant! I saw in some guitar magazine to play it in open "C"? Do you know ? Appreciate your comments.

With Lennon it is difficult to tell if its tuned down or slowed down

He was known for making G Martin jump thru hoops.

On Strawberry Fields JL loved the first half of one take and the second half of another take.

The two takes were in a different KEY and TEMPO JLwanted them joined.. Martin said imposssible, JL said do it anyway.

Martin pulled it off (no ProTools or Autotune in 67')

If you listen you can hear at the "Always know sometimes think its me......."phrase, the song sounds weird
