Challenge June 2025 Dieter – I don t want to spoil the party

[Dieter]

Hello, I beg your indulgence that I am once again addicted to the Beatles virus. My first guitar teacher recommended to me in the 1960s: “Boy, if you want to play the guitar really well, you should pay close attention to the Beatles.”
Here’s a little-known song “I don’t want to spoil the party”. What did I learn from it? … that George also played many wonderful little riffs, chord fragments, voicings and syncopated patterns directly from chords in this rockabilly style, that John, as always, put real dynamic pressure on the rhythm guitar, that Paul always created impressive bass figures and that Ringo, of course, always played unusual drums.

P.S. As usual, I downloaded the vocals from the Internet

Ditto for me, Dieter. This sounds great! I know this had to be a lot of work, but you are really firing on all cylinders here! Kudos on your playing as well as the video you put together.
This really brings back memories.

Great job playing all those parts.

[Jennifer D]

Oh I have never heard this song, thank you Dieter, quite a lot there and quite fast! 👍

Hi Dieter, great performance on bass, rhythm, and lead! And cool song I have not heard before. I agree 100% regarding the Beatles!

Great thinking. Nicely arrangement. Lovely job on bass and guitar. You are right-George was a master of all those rockabilly licks in the likes of Eddie Cochran and Carl Perkins. Love that style. Glad you used this as your example. Well done.

To take the Beatles as guideline and inspiration is a good idea since decades, I think. You’ve done a good job putting all parts together, Dieter. The Beatles vibe came through.

Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will probably take place in the second half of August

There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

I look forward to meet you.

An early example that already shows the Beatles talent developing – nice playing and mixing of all the parts, Dieter – Mark 👍🎶😎

[James B]

Nice cover, Dieter. Seems like every time you do a Beatles song, I get an ear worm and the tune stays with me a couple of days. Probably because I haven’t heard it for so long and it brings back memories. Love this one but “Dear Prudence” was my favorite. 😀

Sounds great nice work, Dieter!

Well done Dieter! Nice!

Well done presentation, Dieter.

For some reason, I don’t think I ever heard that song by the Fab Four but thanks to you, now I did 🙂

Nice arrangement Dieter on all parts, now that’s a Beatles tune I’ve never heard of , it’s a catchy one though. I agree with your analysis on there music so many nuances to it .

[Tremelow]

Veeeery nice, Dieter. I am impressed!

[Michael L]

Hi Dieter, it’s really great hearing you play all those parts and put it all together. You really captured the Fab Four energy. Lot’s of fun listening to this one!
