Yeah Yeah Yeah....!

Your chance to record your favourite Fab Four song to be included in an MP3 download Album!

The Beatles are arguably the greatest and most influential Rock/Pop music band in Rock history, and they made a good few Blues songs too! 

Any of their songs from 1962 to 1969 could be very suitable for CBG arrangement, the choice is mind boggling, there are so many favourites!

For now just decide which song you want to record, many members have already covered Beatle tracks and many more have shown great interest in doing more,  just post which Beatle song you would like to cover and 'stake your claim' in the discussion thread below, I will update the playlist

 here continually over the next six weeks as the final closing date for submissions will be       WEDNESDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER

 

SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED 

 

A download thread and a link will be published in September, successfully I hope! 

Good luck, and remember all the Hits and the lesser known Beatle songs (not post 69 solos) will be good to include, and I would suggest you sing or play your chosen song in any genre and your own personal style....GO! (-:

 

I am planning some special "cover art" for the album ...if all goes well you never know, i could send a CD to Paul, i'm sure he'd like it! (-:

 

Announcement - second helpings!

As some members have requested a second song (there are so many great ones in the Beatles catalogue!) bidding for a second song will open from  23rd July, and the list will be updated accordingly (-:  

The list is up and running below the main one.

 

Please don't post your songs on this thread....it will be a nice surprise to hear them all when the album is finished! (-:

When your MP3 recording is finished 

send it to me by 5TH SEPTEMBER at....

  REVOLUTION

"The Cigar Box Beatles Collective"

 

My Rhythm track for the song, claim and record a verse and post it up!

 

Revised and tidied up version - if anybody can add a lead guitar it will be much appreciated! (-:

 

RIGHT CLICK ON THE "REVOLUTION" MP3 LINK BELOW AND "SAVE TARGET AS"....

 

REVOLUTION.MP3

 

 

Here's an example !

REVOLUTION%20example%20vocal.MP3

Remember the count-in cue is longer than on the original Beatle version just to give it a bit of space, 4 riffs then in...as on the above example.

REMEMBER just your voice, nothing else, though double-tracking is ok!

 

1. Slowpaw Steve T

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

2. 407 bug
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

3. c#merle
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

4.
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
All right, all right

5.
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan

6.RTZGUITARS

You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can

7. Sugimugi

But when you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait

 8.
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
All right, all right
Ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

9.
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head

10.
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead

11. Chris Portillo
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

12. Henry Strat-o-varius Lowman
Don't you know it's gonna be... all right
All right, all right
All right, all right, all right

I'll set the ball rolling with "Dear Prudence", a FAB song with loads of possibilities for some interesting Studio effects and harmonies...! (-:

 

Great idea, Steve!  I can't play for sh*t, so this isn't a claim, it's a request for anyone:

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

In My Life

Blackbird

Here Comes The Sun

 

PS - It would also be great if each artist contributing could post tabs/chords for their submission!

Also just a suggestion, but a blues version of I'll Cry Instead would be pretty cool.

do it, Dan!
