After that final unresolved chord, I was totally waiting for "Your day breaks..."
Adrian Holovaty that said, no one here mentioned one of Paul’s classic ballads, also on Revolver, “For No One”.
greatest album!
AAAH the feels
DItto
"...your mind aches."
Josh is playing both guitar parts at the same time in a convincing way. Respect
No, I’m pretty sure he’s just playing George’s (amazing, tricky, challenging) part....EDIT (10 minutes after initial comment) So, I did a small bit of inter web checking & it seems there is some debate if George played his part on one guitar or overdubbed the (guitar) harmony part. Who knows...I HAVE seen a couple Beatles tribute bands over the years do a very faithful version live, without modern trickery...so, it can be done! Props none-the-less to Josh!!! Super job!
@@deaterk I think George played one lead part and Paul played another. Not sure tho
@@ibr6193 By Paul, you mean John?
@@nicholassekulski3393 Nope. John played rhythm as usual, and George and Paul played two lead parts in harmony.
Freakybananayo I agree completely. On the recording it’s a two part harmony guitar played by two.
This is an impressive rendition to say the least. Not impossible to do at all but to have it run as smoothly as that is not as easy as it may look.
To think that Lennon called this one of his "throwaway" songs... Crazy. It's such a beautiful song. And such a great cover!
It’s about Paul when he was living in London & John was out at Weybridge - Paul was mixing with the art crowd - John rubbished it to throw fans off the scent
He knew it was a rocker The joke was on us 😂
@@InstantKarma1970 He rubbished it many years later to throw them off the scent?
Yes he gave a perfunctory comment about a great song - he chose not to elaborate on its meaning because it’s personal to Paul
@@InstantKarma1970 completely wrong. This song is about Mick Jagger telling John Lennon about his bird who could sing, which turned out to be Marianne Faithfull as the bird. John said he was tired of hearing about it and ended up with this song. Some seriously cool guitar playing.
Holy crap...that lead guitar work is insane. Wayyyy more difficult than it looks. Nailed it!
They got it spot on, was so happy to hear the bridge guitar line was perfect too
To be honest it looked pretty difficult!
"hohohoho we're such good friends in 1965" has me dying
"Hope nothing goes horribly wrong!"
*Yoko enters the scene*
That actually got me laughing pretty hard, fyi, a really weird thing for me, but that line was just pure gold.
I wrote a song about an octopus
@@diesel-tb1jw *Yoko entered the chat
Good grief--he NAILED the guitar part. I don't care what anybody says, that's a difficult song to play, and he killed every note. And not to mention their harmonies; they nail those too. These cats are huge talents.
Every note!
Eh he missed the last note of the runup at 1:43 (went to fret 14 instead of 13 like he should have and did the first time) but still god tier. Jim also messed up a chord at 1:01 slightly.
@@RikerLovesWorf I noticed that.
Could not have said it better... and certainly could not have played it .0001% as good as the young gentleman on the left.
Remember that the lead part is actually two harmonising guitar parts,. On the original, Paul and George did it in unison.
Josh is playing both parts at the same time using double stops. He only missed one note, so what, no guitarist gets everything they go for every time.
I'm a prof musician, played for over 50 yrs, have loved this song since its release in '66. Know both lead guitarvots, but just can't play them double-stop style like this young bloke!! An extremely difficult song to pull off. Very, very few people can perform this feat!! I'm still working on this after trying for about 35 yrs. Kudos congrats to this young dedicated man!! Will always love this elusively-performed Lennon number. Consensus has it that it was Paul & George playing those worked-out pts. together..Took them hours to get it right!!! Congrats guys!!!
Yes, Paul and George played two distinct parts in harmony; Josh does it here by himself.
I usually can’t stand these videos of people covering Beatle songs. So clicked on it for a laugh, but I was wrong! This was excellent.
It is a feat, and I think a lot of people don't realize how deceptively difficult some of these Beatles songs are to play, like this one for example.
My guy in the middle has just the purest tenor voice. Effortless. I love it.
His falsetto is even more insane. You should check the Frankie Valli medley they did, it's on this channel.
He kicked the crap out of AGT. It was AMAZING.
@@paradox5391 I have watched/listened to this video at least 50 times and I've watched the Frankie Valli one at least 10 times and only today did I realise the chap in the middle was the same guy in both clips, Jim Hogan. Came to the comments to confirm. What a great voice. And the guitar work on display here is phenomenal. Struggle to name a better guitarist than Josh Turner.
@@paradox5391 I watch his Frankie Valli Medley at least once a month
@@cardiffcityforum me too, this and a few others.. the white christmas one is fantastic too
josh's guitar is outstanding, a very tricky set of fast changes with hybrid picking (took me a long to learn similar lines-respect!), the harmonies are superbly blended too, Carson's voice clear and strong as usual..... thanks!
he played both George and Paul's parts on guitar at the same time
dimitreze yes you are right that’s why it sounds so good, I couldn’t place it.....
Missing that magic Paul walking bass part but hey, you can't have everything during the pandemic
@@dimitreze double stops in there i think
Yea. That guitar part played by one play using double stops is incredibly difficult (for me anyway). This guy nails it. Well done!
For those who don't quite know how the Beatles songs are played; the main riffs Josh plays on the electric guitar here are actually supposed to be played by TWO guitarists, and how clean each note sounds is just mind blowing. His two hands work better than ordinary men's four hands.
I need to know how he made that connection of the electric guitar in the park? And what pedal do you use for this distortion equal to that of the record? please someone tell me
@@AgustinMolinaMusica yeah, I wanna know how he nailed that sound, just like the original. Always thought it was an Epiphone 330,and I believe Paul played guitar as well on another track as well as bass obviously.
@@jonathansteadman7935 Gibson made an ES-330 model, the comparative Epiphone model is called the Casino, of which Paul, George and John all had by that time.
I' don't know what guitar(s) are credited to the high and low parts of the song, but I've read that George and Paul played them.
I think it was pre recorded and played at the park, thats why the other dude is wondering how he connected his electric guitar. Have you seen how the 2 guitars are played? There is no way that one person can do it at the same time, otherwise paul or george would have.
@@majortom4543 It IS possible to play both parts on one guitar. I used to do it myself for years in Beatles tribute groups. But it's quite difficult (for "pop" guitar, that is) and takes a lot of practise, which means a lot of time. McCartney and Harrison didn't have the time to practise it up in the studio - it's too complicated and requires a certain degree of virtuosity. It's a lot quicker to do it with two players! This person (Josh?) has had a lot of time to devote to it and he does it very well. For what it's worth and in case you're interested, the first half, or first 4 bars (of the long riff, as opposed to the shorter one of the intro) can be played with the G and B strings; easier than the 2nd half (bars 5-8) which has to be played with the G and high E strings - so with a string between them.
Why is that harmony at 1:20 so magical? I always listen to this song anticipating that part.
because it was very well sang
@@makinaliving it takes more than a good singing voice. You have to understand how harmonising works, and subvert expectations. Paul McCartney didn't just sing a regular backing vocal, he went above and beyond and sung a part that very few could come up with.
FANTASTIC rendition! The guitarist not only NAILS the gorgeous, timeless guitar pattern that defines the song, but he also emulates McCartney's final, feathery bass notes at the end.
Kudos to you for “ picking “ up on that. That guy nailed the entire song, AND the tone of the guitar.
in this episode of "Beatles songs that are usually unexpectedly covered, but are covered by Josh Turner anyway", we bring you:
#TurnerNetwork #BigMeatJosh
What?
We find the lads in the park ... singing like birds. ☺ Gosh, this is wonderful.
You heard it here folks.
Jwf
I don’t understand what this comment means.
Revolver: even the album title is a stone cold killer.
Stone cold killer
More like stone cold crazy 😜
If I only one Beatles album..............
Revolver actually means “a record” they were called that because they revolve. But I still agree
It was actually on the LP "Yesterday and Today", before CD's. It was the album which had the butcher cover before they pulled it, and recovered it.
I don't think the Beatles ever performed this song live in concert. This is just amazing playing guys, congratulations
No, they didn't.
I love The Beatles. Generally not a fan of covers. But this is beyond awesome.
This is one of those songs that would have been the best song ever written by most other artists but is only the third or fourth (or fifth?) best song on this album, depending on your own feelings about She Said She Said, Here, There and Everywhere, Tomorrow Never Knows, and Taxman. It’s a personal favorite though, and you guys just killed it! Thanks!
Don’t forget Eleanor Rigby and For No One!
I agree 100% with this comment
Revolver is just so good...
WHEN I WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING
@@kristopherkennedy7691 I confess to having a soft spot for Dr. Robert, too!
John Lennon facebook fanpage and The Beatles fanpage both shared this cover : ) that's huge.
Its possibly one of the best Beatles covers I've heard. I'm not surprised it's been picked up by the Beatles community.
Yeah I agree with 1220b, this is one of, if not the best Beatles cover I have ever heard from amatuer musicians i.e not iconic worldknown rockstars.
singing AND playing these TWO guitar lines at the same time
That Josh is a real humdinger, he is.
He’s amazing!!
I was afraid to watch this video because the guitar would be so tough to cover. But I took a chance, and very, very impressed!
Most guitar players "dudes, I learned such a tough riff today!"
Josh Turner: "hold my beer."
It isn't terribly difficult just takes practice once muscle memory kicks in you do it without thinking about it but it's also so easy to miss a note. Regardless he did an amazing job as always and can probly show up most people who play. Insanely talented.
@@FCUK- If it's "so easy to miss a note" probably it's fair to say it's kinda difficult. Everything takes practice and muscle memory in guitar but there are different degrees of practice.
I’m pretty sure he is playing both the melody and harmony parts, which were done separately on the record, at the same time, increasingly the difficulty factor considerably. But no sweat for Josh!
WJ he did mention ten takes. I could record...after about a thousand.
Yes, and imagine writing the riff in the first place...And they were all practically kids at the time. Amazing, really.
I'm still just blown away by how good that tiny little device records stupendous studio quality recordings just about anywhere you want. Despite the advance in technology, you guys stay true to producing the best, most honest music I've heard from the past and present. You are true artists.
It's the boys (not the toys) that make the joyful noise!
Well put. I'm so happy this tech is available to record raw talent like this.
Its the zoom h6 handy recorder I think, its a very professional mic I must say and expensive as well.
Carson has made great sounding recordings for ages with an even lesser device too.. Zoom should sponsor them. The least they could do would be to send him a new one.. his has tape holding the battery door on!
With the Revolver album rerelease coming out, I hope this video gets a LOT more views!!!
Magnifico!
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this, but it was only today that I noticed the left/right audio split. Classic Beatles.
These harmonies are so PERFECT. 🥵
I'm 66 years old and have loved the Beatles all my life. Josh Turner is just amazing, this cover version is just fantastic. Harmonies were just spot on! Thank-you.
Me also-- same age, agree, great version.
Ditto for me. And what song did you sing all day long on your birthday 2 years ago like I did until it drove your wife and daughter mad? LOL
This might be the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Coool!!! Forever!!!
They nailed the vocal harmonies Mein Gott
Great. This is a so underated Beatles song... And Harrison's riff so perfect.
Well done guys!
Two lead guitars, not just Harrison.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse you're right!
Love it. Guys you are fantastic.
Harrison and McCartney
You’re not wrong, but it’s strange to me that this song isn’t talked about often, but if you get into a specifically Beatles convo with any fan, almost everybody has this near the top of their list of favorites.
So “underrated?” Id say yes and no
This never gets old no matter how many times I️ watch
1) Its heartening - VERY heartening - to see the younger generation embrace the excellence of 60s and 70s music, like the Beatles and their singular musical excellence and genius.
2) Watching the various (not just this guy) guitarists who attempt George's engaging and ingeniously melodic riff that occurs throughout the song, and refraining from playing all of it, highlights (and with all due respect to other guitarists) the deceptive difficulty of that riff, which, if you watch George do it, is done effortlessly and fluidly, and actually, at times, almost distractedly,, as if George was SO much in control of what he was doing that he didn't necessarily need to pay attention, look at the fretboard, etc. - so engrained was it for him.
Revolver has so many great songs, and this is definitely one of them!
Agreed.
I believe it's far and away their best Album.
“Hope nothing goes horribly wrong!” Killed me😂😂
“And Matthew was certainly not the only one it killed, dear listeners...”
Was waiting for the "tell me that you've heard every sound there is..." harmony as it always gives me goosebumps....the execution was flawless :D
Nailed George's solo 👌.. GREAT harmonies..
I need more Beatles covers
Me too.
Me too.
Me too.
aren't we all?
With cowbells??
Me toooo 😊😊😊😊
This is one of my all time favourite Beatle songs - I have been listening to it for the last 54 years, so - amazing version, truly!
This record has made my little daughter stop crying and start smiling!:)
Wow. That was some guitar playing !!! And the singing was up there too! Brilliant
Amazing! As a Beatle fanatic, I can vouch for us all and say that this is one of the best covers and definitely does the boys justice. Excellent stuff x
th-cam.com/video/H6F2HArDDsU/w-d-xo.html
thanks for telling us. as a beatle fan im sure you know what is best. what else do you know because you are a fan? your input is so important to us
Josh on the electric guitar is great.
on any stringed instrument he is better than great !
I have never seen anyone play guitar like this. I am amazed. Master of music :)
OUTSTANDING fella's !
Fabulous cover! If you asked 100 people to name the best Beatles songs probably non of them would even mention this one, and yet when you hear it highlighted on its own its a real stunner.
very impressive that you played the lead part on only one guitar also that blooper killed me 😂
Bajeesus (my new favourite word)! Nailed the guitar and harmonies (at the same time).
Bravo
That just brought a smile to my miserable face.
Reminds a 65 year old curmudgeon of my Beatles daft teens/twenties playing in my band and learning all those wonderful moptop 3 part harmonies.
Doesn't get old EVER!
I've played in many blues/rock/covers bands in my 65 years but nothing transcends the shivers you get when you're young and find yourself in the middle of a 3 or 4 part vocal harmony when it really melds.its just joyous!
You can really sense these lads love of music.brilliant!
That is some great lead guitar.
Tambourine is a serious instrument! Hahah, love this.
I visit frequently to watch Josh play both guitar parts, but more for the harmonies @1:18. So perfect.
Damn that looks fun
I come back to this at least every couple weeks. Really enjoy it.
It’s amazing how Josh does the double guitar parts. George and Paul did them.✌️
Being of the Beatles generation, I thought I’d heard all their music!I’ve never heard this one.
Great job!(in my British voice)
Smiles all around!!!!
I'm a big Beatles fan ... You lads are cool!
Been flipping back and forth between this and the track on Revolver. This is just jaw dropping.
He's playing Paul AND George's guitar licks. Many have tried few have succeeded.
"And Your Bird Can Sing" was recorded in April 1966 in "only" 11 Takes according to "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions: The Official Story of the Abbey Road Years" by Mark Lewisohn. This song was never performed live in front of an audience by The Beatles. More underated Beatles tunes: I'm only sleeping, I want to tell you, Dr. Robert, Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said. All from "Revolver" :-(, Savoy Truffle and Old Brown Shoe.
Thorsten Pontow thank you, I like knowing little tidbits like that. 👍🏻
Have you any opinion on the cover album "Revolver Reloaded?" I've enjoyed that album for years.
"More underated Beatles tunes"
According to who. What is underrated anyway, totally subjective and a bit ridiculous talking about probably the most famous band in music history (and a great one too of course). Songs by bands you don't know probably qualify more.
Thorsten Pontow and your point is?
@@Carol-Bell - Well, the point that I took (though I'm not a musician and it's maybe not what he intended) was that this was a fairly technical and difficult song to record, which just makes Josh, Carson, and Jim's accomplishment that much more worthy of our appreciation. Like K D said, above, some of us like knowing little tidbits like this - it enhances our musical appreciation.
you are walking on holy ground and you crushed it.
Kudos for the kid on the lead guitar... respect!
What a brilliant cover of classic Beatles song. Well done boys!
Who needs two guitars capoed when you can play the lead on one in straight E? Excellent.
💐 Well thank you! You young'uns bring out the happiness in this song in such a pleasant way. And Josh's guitar arrangement is much, much better than very, very, good. So these flowers are for you guys.
Brilliant lads 👏🏻
Not easy songs to play.
Not easy songs to sing.
Brilliant 👏🏻
Such a difficult song played in a spontaneous and simply way!🤘🏻
Really good, my compliments. And I agree with you: Revolver is one of the best pop albums ever...
If I was walking through a park and heard this, I would stop whatever I was doing and listen. this would blow me away, more than the video already does. Josh nailing both guitar parts, somehow? Carson perfectly playing rhythm and belting out the vocals how Carson and does, and the guy I do not know the name of hitting those highs so well. The Beatles would be proud
great job lads
The Beatles would definitely be VERY proud of your version of this song (which, by the way, is a great, underrated song).
Man, everything you guys touch turns to gold. EXCELLENT! I always loved that song and your rendition did it much justice.
Guitar, vocals, harmony, all spot ON!
Anyone else play this video over and over and over and over again? Had to listen to it today as it's John Lennon's birthday! Of course I listened to the original too but these guys do an incredible job - it sounds so clean.
i was waiting for another beatles cover, this is really good!
It's automatically a good day when they cover a Beatles song :)
Excellent. Reminds me of a story Joe Walsh told about trying to learn that guitar part when he was a kid. He finally mastered it, and then was stunned to learn that the Beatles version was two guitars overdubbed. "Am I the only person on the planet who can play this?"
Not anymore!
Evidently the torch has been passed once more.
It was pretty much a "throwaway" song for The Beatles. I'm sure George could have played both parts at the same time if they intended to play it live and actually practiced it.
Jim and Carson harmonize SO well
Simply fantastic!!!!!
My favourite Beatles song, the perfect pop song, all you want when it’s finished is More! John got it all wrong. I love you mate, the song is brilliant....
That hits the spot for a rainy day in England. Jim I can pull faces too Hogan.
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Amazing rendition of an amazing Song. Top 25 Beatles Song. And I can think of 50 I like as much 😂
You continue to entertain and brighten up our days.
I've rewatched probably almost every video from this channel from the last 3 years so it's nice to have something new lol
I found Josh and Buds a month ago. I think I have heard every one of their songs. Some of them I have listened to them many, many times. 🥰
@@deborahchapman222 I know right, not to get sappy on you but they're what made me truly fall in love with the guitar and now I play all the time
This is one of my all-time favourite videos on TH-cam! You guys hit this one way out of the park!
What an incredible cover of this awesome Beatles song. Wonderful.
Dang, just dang. That guitar TONE!! So crunchy and yet bright and chimey.
I got it! With that two-tone color, you could call that guitar the “Cinnamon Toast Crunch!”
Awwww yissss, I love this song. You guys rock it, as usual. A beautiful voice, and a beautiful electric guitar tone, you guys are quite the team. Love the background voices as well.
that tambourine -- so effortless yet on-point
One of favorite Beatles songs. That was GREAT!!!!
Outrageous. 3 guitar parts in 1.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. I like how he added Paul’s bass noodling at the end...
Yes.
I was playing Paul's bass in my head for the whole song and was all set for the finale and then BAM.
Simply amazing to see Josh play this guitar part - like a MACHINE!!!
After having an exceptionally hard day -- and week -- this was just what I needed in my life. Really. Thanks.
Excellent cover of one of my favorite beatles song.
I was JUST thinking about this song today, amazing timing and great choice!
goosebumps, right away!
Damn! He's playing two guitar parts by himself, and he does it so flawlessly.
Great as always, Josh!
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷👍
Brasil é com "s" ô malucão
@@tracin6371 Não se você estiver escrevendo em inglês.
Man this might be my all time favorite Josh Turner cover of one of my favorite Beatles songs: you can't help but smile when you hear it! And to have Jim along for the ride, what an awesome video. Great job guys!
a song that never gets old...superb
This song always brings chills to my spine! So much talent in these young players. Does my heart good.
