Hey there Dennis!
Great job with what looks like a pretty complicated song to pick.
A tip about uploading to YouTube-
If i have time, I try to do a test upload to my own channel first to see what the YouTube gremlins do to it before uploading to TG. That has allowed me to avoid issues like low levels or distortion.
Busking The Beatles
Hey Dennis,,I think you did a marvelous job, I can say that 'cos I listen first a few on YT,,was not so famliar with it!!
one question,,just a question a bout the little strumming parts you did in it,,it feels to me a bit cutting off(on the end of each) and think they should be a bit longer or a sort of legato,,when I listen to some on YT I hear almost on the strumming parts Norwegian wood,,its not but almost and I say that just for make my question a bit clear,,,'m I right a bout that..
You alway's come with not so knowed songs,,I love it
Marvelous job,,in Dutch we say ''geweldig gedaan''

Hey Den. If this is a tune you have wanted to play well for some time, then mission accomplished I would say. With bells on.
It was so very clean and the notes were really solid. You played it with such confidence and ease. I was really into it.
A pity your vocals were a bit low but as a result the emphasis for me was on your excellent playing, which wasn't a bad thing at all.

Dennis, this song has long been right up there in my favorite Beatle tunes, so I'm really surprised at how obscure it is, even among Beatle fans.
For example, I've seen 2 different Beatles tribute bands in the past year, and neither included "Mother Nature's Son" in their shows.
I'm just charmed by the way you play this song ... sparse and precise. Your voice is right in it's place, regardless of volume.
And a twinge of nostalgia ... I was so fortunate to be able to sing this song with you, just a few weeks ago, at guitar camp.
Oh, it's also great to see that you are getting a good return on the investment you made in your acrylic nail$ !

Great job on a great tune Dennis, possibly a lesser known but a truely beautiful one. I liked the way you discribed it as one of the 3 of Pauls best. I remember listening to this so many years ago, much too difficult to pick a favorite from a double album, but Mothers Nature Son was right up there.
Really nice!

Hey, thanks so much everyone. This is one of those sweet, melodic McCartney songs that makes it easy to picture him sitting on a corner of his bed, his giant dreadnaught guitar in his lap, noodling around with a D chord. The lyrics, as is often the case with his songs, are an afterthought.
I'm not totally happy with this take because my tempo wandered a bit and I had a brain blip at the end, but given how quickly I lose my voice these days, I thought I'd better quit while I was somewhat ahead. And Willem and Al. I very much appreciate the input.

Almost misted this! You've dished up another unusual and lesser-known song for us Dennis, interpreted in your own style. I have to admit, I have never bothered to listen to this song before, at least not knowingly. I think, at the time, I was too young to "get" The White Album (except maybe for Back in The USSR) and its never been a favourite of mine. So it was fun to listen to you do this. pity the vocals didn't come through as well as you intended but that Taylor is sound just great. Thanks for posting!
I've always really liked this charming, sweet song and I very much enjoyed your arrangement of it! I especially liked your solo guitar bit and the slides! This song looks really complicated. I'm impressed that you managed to work so much of it out on your own. Did you use anything to help you with that?
The video seems a bit fuzzy- was that also an issue with uploading it to YT?
