less bending m8!

go to the old fashioned world-sooo much better! and calm down when you play the guitar-it looks alot better if you're relaxed!

Yes...I'm more of a hard rock guitar player...but like I said on an earlier post I love the Beatles, just can't play that style of music very well (I really sound bad trying to play country guitar). I don't think I was nervous so it would be hard to calm down?? My hand kept falling asleep on me and that's why I was shaking it alot. My had falls asleep on me if I play guitar right after I wake up for some reason.

Why all the unnecessary distortion?

[docwadd]

I couldn't tell you why. I know you would hate to hear me play "I feel fine" I really crank the distortion on that one!

[Beatleologist]

Not that it's bad, in fact it'd quite good just different for a Beatles song. Why are you shaking your wrist? If you're like me after playing awhile my wrist hurts and shaking it helps the pain. Right?

[docwadd]

Actually my hand has a tendancy to fall asleep early in the morning if I play guitar and that is what is happening in this vid! I wish I could play the Beatles songs better...I'm more of a hard rock guitar player but I do love the Beatles.

I've watched several "learn to play Birthday" videos and think your's is closest to the actual way it is played. I primarily mean you're in the right octave (I always played it lower...) I do think you add some heavy metal stylings to your performance (notable in your chunka chunka strum starting @ :58). The vibrato bend in the chorus line is excessive compared to the original, but it's flashy & sounds good to me. So, thanks! You've given me a new view on how to play this tune.

@docwadd how old are you? that is a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. i wake up every day with my hands like that

[hoihoihoi4ever]

Very good play! I have learn this also today and it sounds pretty good.

What I don't understand:

It's so funny to see that when you play a part on your guitar, you don't hold your hands on the neck but you put it down.

[GuhYeahRight]

Don't let the tards get yah down bro, this is good shit, keep it up.

The idea of a cover is to play it in your own style, so keep on truckin, play it how you play it, not how they play it.
