    Here on this edition of The Laptop Sessions is a version I’m really proud of. Chris Moore and I did this version of the classic Beatles tune “And I Love Her”. I think having two people perform the song (even though there’s only one vocal) really helps because it allowed me to play the solo and the little guitar riff at the beginning and end.

    I love this tune, it’s fun to sing, and really shows how great the Beatles were, even at the beginning of their popularity.

    By the way, sorry I missed Original Wednesday this week- I’ll make sure to post TWO videos next Wednesday!

  • “Let It Be” (A Beatles Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    On YouTube, there’s a video of a guy playing “Let It Be” by the Beatles on piano. He’s got like 12,000 views on it. It’s not bad, but it’s not even in the right key!

    So, I posted a comment to that effect, and someone wrote back that I was being nitpicky (??) and that not many people can sing in the range of the original key.  Let me tell you- if you can’t sing it in the original key, you can’t sing the song at all and you shouldn’t be doing a cover of it.  How “high and mighty” of me.

    So, I had to back up my statement with a video performance of me playing and singing the song in the original key. It’s on guitar because it was the most handy at the time. I hope you enjoy!

  • “With A Little Help From My Friends” (Beatles Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    Good afternoon to you! Welcome to your Tuesday edition of the Laptop Sessions, where we are getting more known each day.

    I bring you a song that has been covered many, many times (did I mention many?). It’s from the Beatles and the classic album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (also a favorite of my music teacher from high school). “With A Little Help From My Friends” is among their most well-known songs, and is also one that Scott & I covered frequently in our jam sessions. However, I usually played the bass to it.

    I think I did a good job on this performance, although I sang the backup vocal part at the end, rather than the high note. Other than that this version came out quite well.

    Check back tomorrow where Jim will be performing an original song. Have a great rest of the day!

  • “In My Life” (The Beatles Acoustic Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    Hey there!  First self-written blog on the laptopsessions site, and Im excited to be learning all the ins-and-outs of the process.  (Not really EXCITED, cuz it’s lots of work, but the end result is exciting!)  So I was in kind of a bind because 3 days comes and goes so fast, and suddenly I was left to do another cover.  And anyone who knows me knows I used to HATE doing cover songs, so I have zero in my prelearned catalogue.  However, I figured out this Beatles tune, my second favorite Beatles tune of all time (The first being “Something”, which I will do in a future session on the Uke in tribute to George Harrison!)  I’ve always loved “In My Life”, Ringo’s drums are great… they sound like feet shuffling during a slow dance, and I think anyone who gives this song a good listen will have a slide-show of their whole life playing in their head.

    As I sing it to myself pictures of faces I dont speak to anymore still pop up, (“some are dead and some are living”- it’s true!), and loves that have come and gone.  I dont know exactly what this song means to me, I guess just because there’s no current love to sing it to makes me believe it’s sung to my soul… and whoever out there shares it with me, and the Big Man upstairs who is responsible for it all.  (No, not my father upstairs! haha!)  Not bad for a 4 am recording on a binge of candy and diet Dr. Thunder.  Enjoy!

Beatles Acoustic Rock Cover Songs and Free mp3 Downloads

John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The Fab Four. Beatlemania. We’ve all heard these terms, and they all refer to one of the most wildly successful and popular groups of songwriters ever to make new music – the Beatles! It is impossible to consider sixties rock music without recalling the singles, albums, merchandise, and personalities of these four music artists. Early in their career, the Beatles were known for not only their original music, but equally for their cover songs. They had a way of taking other songwriters’ material and transforming the tracks into new music that was uniquely their own. As they grew in popularity, their rock music style evolved through many stages – from Rubber Soul to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, widely considered the best rock album of all time – and the Beatles went out of the decade with internal strife that broke the band apart, but was showcased in their solo music. Each of the four members went on to have notable solo careers, and the Laptop Sessions has officially released cover songs based on material from not only the Beatles as a band, but also each songwriter.
