If I Fell - The Beatles - Full Instrumental Recreation (4K)

I seriously can’t get enough of this Rickenbacker 12-string. I swear it sounds like an electric piano on “If I Fell.“ There’s such magic on this track. Something about the interplay between George’s wonderful fingerpicking, those soaring harmonies, John’s wistful lyrics. God. It’s romantic, isn’t it? Speaking of love, there’s a lot to love musically. First, there’s John’s unique, masterful rhythm strumming (including on an intro that’s an entirely different key than the rest of the song). George plays understated, bizarrely complicated mini-arpeggios which, if played on enough consecutive takes, will ABSOLUTELY give you carpel tunnel syndrome. Ringo again defines a song with simplistic genius with his “rat-a-tat-tat“ snare fills. Paul, unbelievably, is pretty understated here (just kidding, he knew when to cede the spotlight). And, of course, the magical harmonies. Wonderful.
