Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is the second track on my favorite Beatles album Rubber Soul (1965). It was written by John Lennon and is one of the first western pop songs to include a Sitar. George learned this Indian instrument from Ravi Shankar
I'm playing a real Hiren Roy Travel Sitar, that I bought at the Music Inn in New York City. I'm still a beginner, but am learning quickly. The Sitar is being mic'd with a Neumann TLM-103. George played a cheap sitar on the original song, and later bought a real Hiren Roy by the time of Revolver in 1966
The song is in the key of E. Most sitars are tuned to C or D, so I had to tune the sitar up a few semitones more than the instrument would probably prefer. I broke a few strings in the process. Because the song is in E, both acoustic guitars have a capo on the 2nd fret
John Lennon played his Gibson J160e acoustic guitar, while George Harrison played a Fraums Hootenanny 12-string acoustic. I'm using my 1956 Gibson J45, which is a similar Gibson Jumbo acoustic. For the 12-string I'm using my 1967 Gibson B-25-12, previously owned by Tommy Shaw of Styx!
My Gear:
1956 Gibson J-45
1967 Gibson B-25-12

Only a true Beatles aficionado would take the time and care to recreate these masterpieces so beautifully! Thank you Sam!!
Agreed
Didn't know there was a 12-string guitar in this song! The fact you're able to make such high-quality videos so quickly shows a lot of patience and love for music!
This to me is one of the hardest beatles songs to get even close to sounding right and you got it nearly perfect! All those acoustic instruments leave no room for error, you have to get the touch just right or that lennon/harrison magic is gone.
Thanks!!
This is great. I've never seen anyone play this sitar part before. I always thought that George slid between notes -- I didn't realize that he got that sound with bends.
yeah because a sitar has a scalloped fretboard and big frets, it's easier to bend than slide
OUTSTANDING JOB AS ALWAYS SAM!!! The Sitar sounds awesome as well as the guitars
Thank you!
Noice
Sounds exactly like the real deal. Nice one again Sam!
Love your phrasing dude! As a former member of a Beatles tribute your attention to detail hasn’t gone unnoticed! 👌🏼😉
The sound you're getting out of those instruments is so similar to the record I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Great job
That’s because they are the exact same models used by the Beatles to record NW.
You really nailed George’s style on the sitar. Sounds awesome man!
Thanks Dom 😁
It's so beautiful. I hope someday you do cover of "Love You To", with the Sitar, Acoustic, Tambourine and Fuzz Guitar
One of their very best ones.😍🥰I should’ve started listening to Beatles WAY SOONER than i did.😭🥺
Brings back memories from better days
Fantastic! Love the sound of the sitar. Very iconic!
Such a nice recreation! I have been enjoying your discussions lately about Beatles gear on your podcast
Such as amazing cover! Absolutely love the sitar! Keep it up!
I was wearing headphones and holy hell, you even mixed the channels to reproduce the original. Guitars on the right, sitar on the left, just like the recording. Incredible work.
The opening is PERFECT! The entire song is, but you hit the exact strings in the opening. Bravo as always, Sam!
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌
Well done! Thank you for your hard work and beautiful play!❤😊 Respect for having learned sitar!
Love this song! Amazing work, Sam 👏👏
An actual sitar. That is going above and beyond
Soooo satisfying 😮 I love that you took the time to learn a whole new instrument
Hermoso! Grandioso!!
omg so good!!!
The guitars sound perfect. Like the isolated track itself. Very good job!!
Amazing ❤I really love the sound of sitar 🎉
George would be proud
I’m loving this series of multi-camera iso’s. Thanks for creating. The added insight (and sight) into how the musical fabric was weaved is fascinating.
Thanks!
I’ve been waiting for this one ever since you got the sitar, definitely worth the wait excellent cover as usual
Sooo good Sam! Amazingly brilliant. Thank you
Brilliant
GREEEAAAAATTT JOOOOOOOB, very well done, congrats, absolutily fantastic, beautiful, wonderful. John and George would be very proud of you and your job.
First you jammed with me on “Can’t Buy Me Love”…then you did “Norwegian Wood”! Round, round, get around Sam gets around, indeed!
Great work! The 12 string acoustic sounds so sweet and crisp! You’d like playing sitar with me, I do all of George’s songs in C in B.
Lindo!
Cítara perfeita.
Não me lembro de ter visto, dentre os vários artistas que interpretam as canções dos FabFour, alguém executando a cítara tão bem.
Parabéns.
Excelente trabalho.
Sounds amazing Sam! Not sure how you’re always able to get it sound perfect but I am definitely not complaining, keep it up!
Day tripper next!
Sei veramente bravissimo👏👏
Your commitment to detail is stunning. So well done!
impressive
awesome Sitar work! You nailed it note-for-note. Thanks for sharing Sam
Bravo! This is the best cover and recreation of what is my favorite Beatles song I have heard. You did an outstanding job! And you have a great ear to come up with the exact chords, main and rhythm guitar strumming. And amazing sitar skills! Thank you!
¡Gracias Sam! Buen trabajo.
Nos recuerdas la fantástica música de Lennon. ¡Grande Lennon!
Nice job Sam!
very well done wowo
George would be proud of you for the sitar work!
An absolute treat as usual!
Just love the sitar
Man that is awesome. Absolute amazing!
Wow Sam! I missed seeing this …. did Sitar piece …. FANTASTIC!
Amazing as always
Бесподобно исполнено! Звучание один в один! Минус будет шикарный! 👏👏👏
This is so cool man!! Amazing tone!
This is so awesome.
Besides the perfection of your cover, two things amaze me: you're playing all the instruments!... also, how natural seems to you to achieve such degree of accuracy... As I've mentioned before, beyond perfection! Greetings from Brazil. In Portuguese: FABULOSO!
Thank you!!
Magnificent work Sam😎🎸☮️
Fantastic!
This is beautiful! Congrats :)
You nailed it!
Brilliant!!
Really nailed it… good job!
Wow, this is awesome
Sooo good. Thank you, Sam.
We're here to appreciate the whole job!
Awesome as always... keep doing it
Appreciate you!
Well done....Bravo! My hat is off to you Sir!
spot on beautiful.
Absolutely brilliant as usual. Obtaining and learning to play a real sitar instead of going the VST route (or, in this case, just doing the guitars) is awesome.
Thanks!
@@sampopkin Can you do Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby from BFS, please?
Amazing as always!! :)
Fantastic--I was fascinated by the 12-string part as well, never really thought about that before but now I'm going to have to learn that.
Amazing sam!
so nice
Very good feel on the sitar
I’m a believer. Really nice jam. You’re just a couple of tablas short of a raga. I mean that as a compliment. Your work here is note perfect, nice homage.
Appreciate it!
Fantastic job as always! This upload is a most welcome respite as I am struck down with Norovirus.
Oh no! Feel better Tom
Wow, Sam - your usual awesome work!
You’re a long time subscriber! Thanks for sticking with me
Genius! ♥
Brilliant, Sam.
Ah top, les Beatles et avec la sitar 👌, ce sera peut-être un jour mon prochain instrument 🎶🎸👍
🎸フラマスの音が
最高ですね😆🎶
手に入れるの大変ですよね💦
furamus12string🎸
very,very,good😆🎶🎶🎶🎶
素晴らしいサウンドを
いつも
ありがとうございます✨
fromJapan🙌
don't mind me noticing the sitar in the background of all of his videos being put to use
Tremendous
very nice
👏
It sounds so much better in open or dropped D.
If you threw John and Paul's voices in there,you'd have a hit,an amazing recreation of the instumentation
100th like!
Love the sitar and face reveal!
👋👋👋
Rocked it in Michael Sokil’s recreation and did it just as well here! Kudos my friend 🎉
Thanks but I’m a die hard Eagles fan 😉🤣
Mis respetos desde México, Sam. Adoro tu canal ☺️
Gracias amigo 😁
@@sampopkin Bless You, Brother ✌️☮️
Actually it was THE first western pop song to feature a sitar
So awesome! Looks like a proper Sitar sitting pose as well?!
Yes, a proper sitting pose with it balanced between left foot and right knee. But I didn’t use a mizraab (the pick). George probably used just his fingers for this song anyway
Killer. Again. Awesome Sam…I have a 1967 B25 as well…was there a 12 on the track (bet there was since you did it👊🏻)
Oo nice. Beatles used a Framus Hootenanny on the original, but B25’s are also small bodied and similar
Even got a Framus Hootenanny to top off that original Beatles sound. Sam doesn’t disappoint.
Thanks! It’s actually a 60’s Gibson B25 12 string
Is here really two guitars on this track? Cool rendition
I don't praise people often, but I gotta say it. Bravo 🎉
beautiful anyways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quedé maravillado, suena igual que la original
You did it all so well. Were you ever considering also playing along the bass guitar part?
Yeah I just am waiting until I buy a rickenbacker or hofner
Hey Sam you sound really great! on sitar.Would you consider doing a video on just the sitar along.Just general info
Sure! I’m still learning, it’s such a complex instrument. But would love to do that
Brilliant stuff as usual Sam
Is that an F going into a G on the bridge? I've always seen it played as Dm going to a G, but I trust you infinitely more than anything on UltimateGuitar.
Thanks, it’s a D minor but with an F on the d string. So similar to an F6
@@sampopkin ahh yes I see. Thanks. Typical John
