A lot of people forget that this was originally called Child of Nature, a song that John intended to include for the White Album. It had different words, and the title was also strangely similar to Paul's Mother Nature's Son.
John was always my favorite as I've played guitar for 60 years ever since I saw the Beatles in 1965 San Francisco cow palace. I love playing John's beautiful songs and that's one of them. Way to go Sam always love hearing you play. Beautiful 👍
what strings are you using on bass? great cover... great bass sound, very unique by klaus voorman... i'm waiting for more cover of plastic ono band/imagine albums 👍👍👍
Klaus Voorman a very underrated bass player. He is excellent.
quite literally an all around artist
@@frqwi27 Indeed, one does not need widespread recognition to be valued.
That Klaus Voormann bass line, it really makes this song.
Everything was perfect in this song. Piano, bass, strings, &c
Bass tone = D A N K B L I S S

I thought the original title was “On the Road to Marrakech”. He mentions it and plays it in the Get Back documentary
One of my favorite John songs. Beautifully played and bass lines are great. Thanks for this one.
Amazing!!!! One of my favourite Lennon's songs

Awesome cover, Sam! One of my favorite John solo songs! I'm just a Child of Nature....I mean, I didn't want to hurt you, I'm just a Jealous Guy.....
Epic bass. “Nobody told me” has an epic bass line, that would make for a great cover 👏👏👏
I love Klauses little fills with that E minor pentatonic. It really lifts the song.
nice job as always!
Great Video Sam! I love the Bass tone you got here!
Omg this is perfect I just started getting back into this album again and you cover this!
I love it❤
Absolutely fantastic as always! Are we going to see an I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier cover in the near future?
Definitely! That’s a weird one timing wise
Brilliant work as always Sam! Great song 👍
Once again, bringing a buried part into the light. I never clearly heard the guitar in this song before. Thanks! 😊
It would be interesting if you covered Whatever Get You Thru The Night, the bass is beautiful and John plays in a very interesting way.
Beautiful !!!! Excelente trabajo Sam. Ese bajo es precioso y relajante ❤
Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful song!
A really nice song , it sounds good and straight. I try it today 😊
Was never a fan of Lennon's solo career, but this and "Beautiful Boy" were my favourite Lennon songs. Can't wait to see more bass covers from you
Terrific! IIRC, Klaus said his playing on this was his personal favorite of all his performances.
That bass sound. WOW
Klaus's part was on point!!!!
Great cover. Never knew that D7 F# to e transition sounds great.
Awesome Sam!!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Sam also i am a fan of the fender telecaster as well to be honest ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Amazing!! Thank you bro!! 🔥🦇
Always loved this bass part
Perfect bass tone
Love the bass! The Beatles history would be vastly different if they never met Klaus.
Oh my love needs a cover too
what strings are you using on bass? great cover... great bass sound, very unique by klaus voorman... i'm waiting for more cover of plastic ono band/imagine albums 👍👍👍
Rotosound flatwounds
Run of the mill take 36 would be awesome to see
Great as usual, Sam! Was that Klaus on bass? It's a great part.
Yes Klaus was really in the zone on this one. He tells a story about how he closed his eyes and just found the groove
This and Woman are my favorite solo Lennon songs
YES
Gotta love johns denim
The sponge is a major tip
Sounds more like "child of nature" to me 🤔😂 fab vid
All Star Cast Performing On The Song
Awesome, do you plan on doing some songs off of Plastic Ono Band in the future?
Yes, I’ve done Well Well Well already. Will definitely do more
@@sampopkinNice!!
Sounds absolutely amazing Sam! What kind of foam do you have under the strings for the bass? And where’d you get it? Keep up the great work man!
Thanks! I think I just got the black foam on Amazon
Can you do "Whatever gets you through the night"?

Great cover. Quick question: do you know if there's any guitar in Watching The Wheels? I'm not sure I can hear any, but maybe I'm wrong.
Yes there are two guitars I believe
My 2000 remix/remaster CD has NO discernable acoustic guitar part on this song. 😢
Yeah it's most audible on the raw take from ultimate collection edition of Imagine
Klaus SWEEP
What year is that bass? And what pickups? And what amp? It sounds so beautiful! Thanks man
Please check description
😎🎸😎🎸😎🪇😎🎤🎹
Hey Sam, great cover! I was wondering what’s going on with the bridge for the bass? It seems like there is a hole on either side of it?
Yes, precision basses come with a chrome bridge cover that prevents you from palm muting. So most p bassists take this cover off, revealing two holes
@@sampopkin ah, thanks. I didn’t know there were holes under the cover
Please note the third chord is D and then D7.
On the piano yes, but I’m covering what John played on guitar
John Lennon has band members
Can the acoustic use a plug in pickup
Yes I put an lr baggs pickup in the martin
From whick take are the vocals from ?
Nevermind I found it it’s take 29 for those who want it
Take 29 raw mix from ultimate collection Imagine box set
His apology to Cynthia?
Apparently to Paul, according to Paul
