The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

This is my attempt to cover this beautiful but sad Beatles song. I play the most important parts of the string arrangement on the cello.
It is pretty difficult to play and to sing in a clean way at the same time and I admit that I succeeded only partly. Playing the guitar or the piano whilst singing is much more convenient but I think that Eleanor Rigby needs a bowed instrument.
I used to play the complete score with my string ensemble (without vocals). We used more or less "The Beatles - Complete Scores".

@LAMALCRIADACOM: Thanks for your comment. Well, we seem live far apart so making music together should be pretty difficult. Greetings from France.

@tobasi i know,i meant,record ourselves separately,and then put all the videos together

greetings from Los Cabos,Mexico (=

@LAMALCRIADACOM: Ah OK, I never did this, sounds complicated. In general I keep my recordings as simple as possible without editing etc. to be able to focus on the music.

Pretty good cover, I must say. Could use a little improvement (Maybe asking a friend who can play another cello or a violin to play in the background, since it sounds like there are 2 in the song (; ). But again, great cover dude :D

@fucknotgiven: Thank you. In the original recording there are four voices: two violin one, two violin two, two violas and two cellos. Here I tried to see what I can do on my own. But I used to play the song with my string ensemble.

@AdrianRojasF: You have uploaded a Sibelius version of "Good Night" and you're telling me I'm killing the Beatles?

[Black9826]

Good i dont think you did bad at singing either.

[itscalledBeatlemania]

He can't sing but he sure can play.
