- In this video I play all the instruments and recreate the sounds in the song "Day Tripper" by The Beatles.I show how to get the guitar tone and explain how my cover was recorded. I go over the plug ins used as well as the instruments, and various aspects of the recording and mixing process . Apparently I did a pretty good job .. watch the video to see why...
Hey Perry, your point at 6:30 is one of the most frustrating things about UA-cam, it happens to me all the time. Especially when I'm trying at add play throughs for tutorials. Anyway, I just wanted to say this was a great video I loved it! All the best, Simon
Thank you!
Great video Perry! Especially the end credits 🤣
Thanks!
Really really really amazing, on every level. Sounds exactly like the Fabs, indistinguishable. Great video! LOVE your channel!
Thanks! I really appreciate your comment!
@@perrystanleyNumber9Anyway you could do a getting the Beatles sound Live in Japan 66?
That was freaking amazing! I don't normally subscribe to channels but that was so amazing!!!!
Thanks !
@@perrystanleyNumber9Do you have a video of that Brian May amp that's under the ac30?
@@bobbystereo936 no . It might be a good idea for a vid though. I used to have a Brian May guitar but I sold it. The amp is great for heavier guitar solos though. I’ve used it with a Wolfgang and the Kramer 84 to get Van Halen tones . Love the amp for recording.
Best sound repro I've ever heard.
A Stratocaster with flats gets extremely close to that tone as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if George used his Strat.
I agree. Maybe I'll do a vid in the future with flats on a Strat and see what it yields.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 What about rounds?
@@beatlesfan2884 Hi, I have never heard a version of Tripper with rounds that sounded right to my ear. The Beatles certainly used rounds , but in my opinion so far rounds haven't been convincing to me. (This doesn't necessarily mean I'm right!)... just how I feel so far. The rounds never seem to get the 'ping' in the sound.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 please! great vvid BTW. I've read on beatles bible (i think) that george used both the grestch and the strat for this song but there's no video on youtube to prove it. It would be awesome to cool to hear given the level of detail you dedicate to every track (not to mention the incredible gear :) )
Greetings from Argentina.
@@carlosmurua9946 Hi Carlos. It's all speculation no matter where it comes from as there was never anything written down about who played what as they were recording. It could definitely be something I might try in the future like a shootout between guitars doing the song. At the moment I need to change direction a little, but it's something I will definitely consider in the future.
Yay!
Hey Perry! Absolutely nailed it! Really love your authenticity here: I’ve been trying to get as as close as I can too on my versions with my dad. Love to get your thoughts on our videos. Cheers!
AMAZING!
Thanks , Michael! Let me know what you are going to do next and if I can help. Also, we should do something together !
FOOKIN AMAZING!
WOW!
Ooh, a Rick 325c64.
I bought it for this video and future vids. My first time ever playing one!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Feels great to use one huh?
@@joestarr05 It's definitely fun to have!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Hell yeah!
Blonde Bassman! Wow!
If the lead guitar had four parts, does that mean the solo part was double-tracked, and the volume swell was double-tracked too?
The first take shows that the solo was an overdub.There is no solo in the first take. The volume swells were on the first take. (At least that is what is on the first take). I did four guitars based on what I heard in the panning, and what go t the sound I was looking for.
Thanks for the info on the Waves Abbey Road plugin chain. That really was an important part of the special sound.
I would also like to see a video on And Your Bird can Sing
Thanks for Watching!
Dead On!
Thanks!
Wow a 64 Tennessean?
Yes. As you probably already know Harrison's was a 63. The only difference between a 63 and a 64 is that mine has the Van Ghent tuners, and Harrison's had the kidney bean tuners.
Incredible, just subbed, cheers from New Zealand
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Hello New Zealand!
really great. sounds perfect.
Something i feel lacks in a lot of old vintage mixing is clipping the drums which i feel like lacked here, but everything else is perfect. Best recreation. Good stuff mate
Thanks for watching!
the first beatles song i learned. you have my highest respect. most people dont use enough treble and they sound like crap. you have a new subscriber.
Thanks!
This is nothing short from incredible. Easily the most accurate sound to date. What is the quick sliding chord change that you (and George!) did at the beginning of the chorus at 0:34? I've watched several guitar tutorials and none of them seem to cover that nuance from the original recording.
Thanks! It’s a slide down on the A string from D flat to the open A. Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing!
Perfection
So you didn't mention the solo and it seems like George changes pick ups for that. What so you say?
There seems to be some consensus that the solo was played by Lennon. Either way George or John, I think the solo was one of the sonic blue Strats. The solo was an overdub, not played on the rhythm track.
Hi, ok the strings are Flatwound, but what scale?
No scale . Not like bass, unless you mean gauge? I show the pack in the video > I use pyramid light gauge 10 on high E on the Tenny.
So you double tracked the original riff twice?
3 times.
Dorky musician here...subscribed. Sounds pretty darn accurate to me. Found you through your interview with Michael Sokil. Really amazing what you guys do. I love that you share your settings on the amp and plugins. I notice a lot of hum and noise in the room when you are talking, but then when you switch to the amp mic, the noise is nearly gone. Are you using a suppressor of some kind, or...? Thanks. Great job!
When I record the music I turn the heater off. Sometimes when I’m talking depending on how far the mic is from me the noise is an amp caught on one of the mics No noise suppression, other than sometimes cutting out or masking the track when it isn’t playing after it is recorded. The 63 makes noise , the bassman is more quiet!
How you do you only have 652 subscribers? Great stuff!
Thanks!
Fantastic job! Is there any additional reverb added on anything here? The guitars sound quite 'roomy' or is this just the compressors bringing out the actual room sound the mics are picking up around the amps?
On the guitars I had The Waves Abbey Road chambers stereo "add room to your room"preset. Also the Mic was distanced as you can see in the video because the amp was really cranked loud.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Brilliant, thankyou!
ty for the help
i was looking for that sound
Thanks for watching!
Love that mid-60s, slightly to “midly” distorted, and *rich* sound that they had.
YOU DID IT!
If only you would sing the song, that would've been perfect. You played so we'll like the original version.
Hello here I am again taking advantage of your kindness, so I took the pyramid strings and mounted them on my Gretsch tennessee rose made in Japan. I noticed that there is a lot of difference in volume between the wound E A D G strings and the unwound B and E, is this normal? Is it like this on yours too? Thanks for the reply
@@Moreno280161 sounds like you need to adjust the height of your pickup poles.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Ok, but with normal Nickel wound strings the volume is the same on all strings, I know that the pickup poles can be adjusted, it was to understand if yours also had this problem and you also had to adjust the poles or if the strings are defective
@@Moreno280161 No. I adjusted the poles to get the optimal sound that I wanted. I don't know how closely matched the tennessean Rose pickups match the vintage Sometimes the modern versions of vintage guitars have different outputs and winds. (Like Rickenbacker sometimes )So again , I never had that problem.But it sounds like all the wound are the same volume and the unwound are louder? Then perhaps the pickup is just catching the flat wounds differently than rounds. If it were mine I wouldn't feel anything was necessarily wrong and just adjust the poles to even the string volumes out and get the optimal sound.
Hey Perry, very cool. I've been looking for videos like this.
yoo this is really fucking s o l i d
Thanks!

Welcome! Hope there are videos here that you would like!

Amazing!!! Subscribed!
Hey Perry… great sound alike there! I’m surprised that you placed the guitar mic so far away from the cabinet but still got a lot of the lower end of the spectrum. Usually I have to place the mic much closer to the cabinet to get at least some amount the lower end or else it sounds super thin. Great job!
Hi, The U47 seems far , but the amp was REALLY loud ! Normally I record guitar amps close with SM57s , but I was pushing so much air with the AC30 I didn't want to take a chance with my CM7! I know The Beatles at times used U47s right up against the amps (evidenced by pics of them recording) but I don't think they were cranked like I had mine.Thanks for watching!
Hi great, I have another question to ask you, in the video you didn't show George's solo, I basically wanted to know if you can do the bending with the G wound with the Flatwoound strings or have you changed it, thanks.
I don't necessarily think the Tenny was used for the solo. Take 1 shows that only the volume swells are played during the solo part, and the solo was therefore overdubbed.If the bend was played upon at the 7th fret B register bending the g is possible but not likely . (I tried it) You get a closer sound paying it at the 3rd fret position on the B and E string. You then have to go up to the 10-12th fret for the higher part. I don't think it was done that way,. It was probably done with a strat overdubbed at the 7th fret register, and my guess flats weren't on the strat. Of course I'm just guessing , no one knows for sure.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Yeah, with flats and wound 3rd I play it as you describe it, the only way to avoid bending the G string. But my guess is that George recorded all parts with the Strat with flatwounds, because that guitar was still new at the time: it probably still had the factory 12-52 flats on it. If George changed the strings there was still John's Strat, and John was pretty lazy at those things: I can see him not changing strings on a new guitar for months...At times the Beatles played each other's instruments, so here we have two Strats that could possibly have flat strings at the time of Day Tripper's recording. Just my thoughts. Because I think that the Beatles were playing rounds by late '65, but if the factory flats were still on the new Strats, this explains the otherwise "odd" choice for the time? Bass strings are another story obviously...
@@mrkite89 what about the es345?
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Yeah, it's a possibility. Anyway it seems that flatwounds are really crucial for this tone, as you pointed out...Can I ask you about your recording approach? I noticed in your videos that you tend to be pretty heavy handed with the EQ post recording: do you do this because you want to add as much "flavor" as possible with the Abbey Road plugins (the Beatles themselves were known for heavily EQing a lot of tracks) or just to "correct" an otherwise "wrong" EQ? I tend to record the raw sound as close as possible to what I want and use very little post processing. For example, in this video I noticed that you brightened the bass track quite a lot: why not put the mic a little further away to reduce proximity effect and a little closer to the center of the speaker to get more highs? Or do you prefer the result of using heavy REDD console EQ after the recording? Sorry if my english isn't perfect, I hope my question is clear enough...cheers and keep up the good work!
I first use what I believe was used by The Beatles. I don't try to correct, I try to get closer to the sound . The Beatles went through the Redd 51 on every recording ( except when they used the redd 37 or TG boards)and they had compression with the rs124 on most of the bounces. They used eq heavily , sometimes running a guitar through several channels to compensate for the limited amount of EQ on each channel. Nowhere Man is a good example of this . If the bass was brightened up it's because it was better for the mix and closer to the sound on the record in my opinion.I rarely think of the sound of a recorded track on it's own . It is how it works in the mix that matters.Something can sound really great alone but not work in the mix as is. There really isn't much of a proximity effect on the D20 mic. That's why it was used on kick drum and bass. When it's used on voice it really doesn't have much proximity effect.(The U47 of course does have that effect when used close)Though there were times especially on pepper that the bass was mixed from a distance, it was also close miced many times with the bassman when that was the amp used. Sometimes I do position the mic to the center of the speaker, but sometimes when recording guitar I also use the placement of the U47 right between the 2 speakers like they also did at Abbey Road. I'm also running through the Redd 47 preamp and often using the same or similar mics , so the sound already is there. Mixing is another story though, because each sound has to be put in it's sonic pocket . I try to get close to what the record is. I also get to know how the the eq and compression will affect the sounds recorded and the helps moving forward to the results I want.If you get the results you want with your method of recording ... great! My methodology works for me. I have been mixing music for several decades now, and I can get the mixes done pretty quickly because I stick to what works for me and what I was taught by reading and other engineers. I started recording in studios when I was 15. I'm 59 now! There is always something new to learn, but there gets to be a point when you have a consistency because you find your groove and methods that work for you. You write extremely well in English , and you speak one more language than I do! Hope that answered your question. Thanks for watching!

That’s amazing Perry the fact the goons at yt base camp blocked your video speaks volumes of your talent. Love all that gear you have I like messing around with the stuff I have usual distortion and looper pedals although I did sell a kidney to pay for a Dr Robert pedal recently but haven’t really used it as yet Best of luck from Scotland and will still receive too inspiration from your channel Good luck cheers 🏴
Love Scotland! Edinburgh Rocks! Thanks for your kind comment and for watching!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 more a Glasgow man but yeah cheers mate
Fantastic!
Thanks for watching!
What are your amp settings if your not using any pedals like a flanger or compressor
I show the amp settings in the video.
@@perrystanleyNumber9 ok thanks cus I really like that early 60's beatles sound from time period and that let it be and abby road
