It’s no secret that I’m a *bit* of a fan of The Beatles. I’m also an amateur musician and dabbler in audio production. So I figured, why not combine those loves and try to recreate some of The Beatles’ classic songs, all the while improving as an instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer?
Anyway, here are some of the results.
