The Beatles - Norwegian Wood - Guitar Cover
Показать описание
An acoustic waltz from Rubber Soul! John’s blend of lead and rhythm guitar on his Gibson J-160E is complemented by George’s 12-string Framus Hootenanny and sitar. A capo is placed at the second fret of both guitars. All chords and strings in this description will be referred to as if the capo is the nut.
“Norwegian Wood” begins with John playing his folksy riff alone. Instead of plucking the individual D string, he starts with both the open A and D strings (0:00). As a transition to the low C note of the riff, he plays an open A (0:04). Keep an ear for this A note transition, as he sometimes omits it once (0:20) or plucks it lighter, as at 1:08. John completes this first riff with a double hammer-on to the D major chord (0:05). This is another variation of the riff that is primarily used during the instrumental sections of the song. Throughout the verses, he typically goes straight to the D chord.
George’s 12-string acoustic enters next, playing a slightly different pattern than John. He follows the riff, but instead of strumming during breaks as John does, he plucks the G and B strings on the beats. This doubling of parts in a different way is a classic Beatles arrangement technique to increase the “fullness” of the overall guitar sound. During the descending “C to B” part of the riff, George alternates with the open G string (0:12). Notice how he leaves some space going into the first verse (0:13).
During the first verse, John alters the riff slightly, strumming eighth notes immediately after the words “girl” and “room” (0:17, 0:25). He plucks an open A at 0:22. George’s 12-string and sitar echo John’s vocal line at 0:22. George stops doubling the riff during this vocal sections, instead playing an alternation between the open D note and the G and B strings to accentuate the waltz time.
George’s 12-string rises to prominence for the bridges, up-strumming the chords and then smacking out the muted chord on the beats (0:31). This up-strumming technique is especially striking on a 12 string guitar. John strums eight notes in these bridges, except the very first Dm at 0:31 and the first G at 0:35. Notice where he chooses to accent these eighth notes to build intensity around his vocals. A short melodic phrase by George serves as a transition to the next verse (0:46).
John plays the riff with a hammer-on at 0:48. He then plucks an open A at 0:54. Oddly, George echos John’s vocal line 0:54 without the sitar, and by plucking an open D instead of a C. Likewise, the open D and G notes of this mini-riff are not played with the octave string of the 12 string. He must have been playing some very light upstrokes! John does not remove his D chord during the descending bit at 1:00, resulting in a D over C sound. He then provides 3 powerful strums into the instrumental section (1:02).
During the instrumental part, John forcefully strums at 1:13 then plays a raking upstroke at 1:14. He forgets to remove the D chord again during the descending part, then plays the B note with a hammer-on.
In the second bridge, John mainly strums eighth notes, except on the word “started” (1:22). He really accents certain strums of the G chord, especially the final two at (1:26), which are followed by two quick muted strums. Likewise, he accents the lower notes of the Em7 chord on beat four at 1:32.
In the first half of the final verse, George’s guitar almost disappears only to return in the second half quite loud playing the A note (1:44). John does not remove the D chord again at 1:41. He also includes some immediate light strums after the word “good” at 1:48.
As typical throughout “Norwegian Wood”, John modifies the riff once again in the outro. He starts by cleanly plucking an open D note (1:52). At 1:54, he picks individual notes of the D chord before up-strumming. Instead of picking the open A note at 1:56, he plays both the A and D strings. John finishes up the song with the double hammer-on to the D major chord (1:58).
During the recording of “Norwegian Wood”, John played guitar and sang together, meaning guitar accents typically fall during sections where he is not singing and can focus on his guitar. John’s J-160E was panned right on the original recording with considerable reverb on the left channel. This reverb’s silky quality leads me to believe it was a plate reverb instead of the Abbey Road echo chamber. However, the vocal reverb does sound like a chamber. George’s 12-string is panned left and does not have additional reverb.
