Eleanor Rigby (Acoustic Guitar)

This is an acoustic guitar version of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" performed with the aid of a Boomerang phrase looper. I've never been big on improvisation, but I have a lot of fun jamming to my looper pedal and thought it was about time I uploaded a tune using it. I'm sure I could have composed a much better solo, but I guess it'll pass.

The guitar is a Taylor 314ce, and I'm using the pickups alone without a mic, going through a Boss AD-5 preamp. Standard tuning but down a half step.

I really enjoyed your rendition.....

Original,well balanced,& very well played...I mean...VERY well played.

I was actually looking at Taylor reviews on 314CE as i'm close to making a descision..can you add anything about the guitar in general...i.e. action feel...strings..I guess I'm looking mainly for an acoustic with low action as I'm coming off electric's.

I could listen to you for ages ,please keep em coming.

I too am Beatles fan as well as Tom Petty gear.(request ?)

I agree, Brilliant.

@fendermaestro I kind of look at the 314 as the ES-175 of the acoustic world. Gibson brought out the 175 as a cheaper alternative to their more expensive archtops and people often ended up liking it better. The 314 is every bit as good a guitar as the 914 but has a little more snap which can be nice depending on how you play. I Iove it to death. The 314 list for around $2200 but sounds like a $5000 ax. It's a real working man's guitar with a rich man's sound and response.
