Yesterday
(Lennon/McCartney)
This was such a great song, I had to do two versions of it. This is the
full arrangement. There is also a one-sample version that I did too. I
must admit, this is a lot better than my usual mods. I played around a lot
with chord inversions. I have learned a lot from playing the guitar and
piano, but I think I learned the most about music from tracking. This mod
really taught me about how to do string arrangements. I tried to lock the
hihats in with the bass as much as possible. The guitar arrangement came
from the way I would normally play it on the guitar. The bass and snare
are just the "Universal Beat", as I like to call it, sort of like you hear
in "Walk This Way", but the hihats kind of mix it up so it sounds sort of
R&B-ish. I also try to replicate the players' positions on the stage with
panning and volume. I tried to imagine how the band is set up.
Enough technical stuff, time for the usual greets: Beth, Damien, Jay,
Junior, RSFTUOTDI3DRG members, BFN members, TIS members, TKD members, and
finally to you.
And now for some ascii art:
