And Your Bird Can Sing

I've been working on The Beatles' song, And Your Bird Can Sing.

"And Your Bird Can Sing" is a song by the Beatles, released on their 1966 album Revolver in the United Kingdom and on Yesterday and Today in the United States. The song was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Paul McCartney stated that he helped on the lyrics and attributed the song "80–20" to Lennon. The working title was "You Don't Get Me". Lennon was later dismissive of the track, as he was of many of his compositions at the time, referring to it as "another of my throwaways ... fancy paper around an empty box".

So says Wikipedia.

So, here's what I've done.

1. Downloaded some youtube drumbeats.

2. Played rhythym guitar over the drumbeats and recorded the result.

3. Played mixed rhythym and lead guitar onto that recording. Recorded that as a seperate wave file.

4. Played harmonic lead and more rhythym guitar on top of that.

Tried a straight rock beat first, then a shuffle beat.

Here's what I haven't done.

1. Got the microphone sorted.

2. Learned to be comfortable with my own voice.

It's not a bad voice. I can generally hit the right notes, but I still don't feel comfortable hearing it.

Anyway, here are the two versions (sans vocals) that I've done.
