  • The Laptop Sessions: “And I Love Her” (Beatles Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Thursday, November 15th, 2007

    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!

  • The Laptop Sessions: “Do You Want To Know A Secret” (Beatles Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Hello everyone- time for another episode of “The Laptop Sessions”. Boy, do I have a lot of these in the works for you. I have two more requests for Beach Boys songs, plus Chris and I still have to do our Moody Blues song and another Beatles song. Somewhere down the line I’d like to throw one of my own in, too.

    Tonight’s clip is the Beatles song, “Do You Want To Know A Secret”, originally sung by the great George Harrison. This is a fun song to play and sing, especially because it’s got those minor 7th chords that make it sound a bit “old fashioned”.

    Of course, requests are welcome for any other Beatles or George Harrison tune you’d like to hear! I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more Laptop Sessions in the coming days!

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

    Friday, October 19th, 2007

    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!

    Welcome to another new era in Fusco-Moore Productions: “The Laptop Sessions”!

    Modeled after BNL’s incredible “Bathroom Sessions,” we here at Fusco-Moore Productions will be recording songs on video using the built-in camera on our Macbook laptops. So, wherever the laptop goes, we’ll record a new video!

    Tonight, I start the series off with a song from the Beatles, “Here, There, and Everywhere,” a great tune by Paul McCartney (and John Lennon, for copyright’s sake). I recorded it at 2 am in my living room. These videos are meant to show our passion for music and our love to play constantly, so look for updates every couple of days. That’s right: days!!

    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.
