I’m only sleeping

[Liam Innes]

Hello friends.

I must have listened to the Revolver album 1000s of times since I first heard it many years ago.

Quite a clever chord progression and an awesome Bass line by McCartney in this one.

I didn’t even look at the backwards guitar part so I’m doing just the bass and acoustic this time.

I know that it’s all been said about them countless times before, but I honestly don’t think there will ever again be a band that will quite match their genius.

Please enjoy and thanks for watching.

Liam.

Terrific job on such a classic song. Well done, Liam. My brother was at their Shea Stadium concert. He couldn’t hear a thing over all the screaming.

[Liam Innes]

Thanks David.

Man he must have felt cheated!

At least he actually got to look at them 😉

Nice job, Liam. Do you have a go to source to learn your song parts or is a good portion just using your ear?

Thanks John.

Almost always YouTube.

Even if I know the song I’ll watch either a cover or a lesson of the parts or whole song.

Makes it miles easier nowadays as I’m sure you’ll remember having to thumb through song books whilst repeating parts over and over on a CD or even cassette.

My Dad used to have to go to the local library and get the actual sheet music and try and match it up to the vinyl lol.

Thank god for technology….

Nice playing, Liam. Such a great song. Yeah, Revolver has a special place in my heart too.

I enjoyed your visuals during the mini backwards solo, really cool.

[Liam Innes]

Thanks Richard.

Yeah it’s one of the few albums I’ve kept coming back to and I always find something new every time I hear it.

The visuals are lifted from the music video on YouTube –

Check it out if you get a minute it’s really well done and worth a look.

Revolver is my favorite Beatles album. It was lying around the house back in the 1960s from my older siblings. I probably fired it up on the old turn table 10 times before I was 10. I was addicted at 5.

Nice and enjoyable video performance on this Liam. Always a pleasure.

Really nice Liam! The band that changed the world!

Nice playing!

It's all about the journey, not the destination.

A very nice song in a pure John Lennon’s style, very well played, Liam! Very good and steady acoustic guitar rhythm strumming, very precise and with the correct and beautiful rhythm variations. A good strumming is a often underrated – but essential for a nice rendition of a song – skill. Then very nice bass parts (not an expert, but I guess they’re very tricky, like many McCartney masterful lines). Very good job!
