Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End - The Beatles - Full Instrumental Cover

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

This medley is really something special!

This is the most sweeping, orchestral music I've ever tried recreating. I almost stumbled into it! Once I did "Something," with my drums tuned and dampened for 1969, I figured why not tackle more "Abbey Road" stuff? And seriously, what's more challenging or interesting than the medley that closes the album?

What a gorgeous series of songs. Goosebumps.

Two highlights. The piano playing by McCartney is stunning. The isolated tracks revealed some highly technical (and possibly improvised) riffs that were insanely fun to recreate. I have no idea how he sang at the same time.

Also, hats off to Cinematic Studio Brass and Solo Strings! I bought both on sale on Black Friday, and wow, they sound gorgeous. New possibilities for recording songs with brass and strings abound. I will certainly post the isolated strings and brass. All are welcome to use it.

Also, I wanted to spotlight the Hofner despite knowing that George played either a Fender VI or Jazz bass, directly injected, on Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight. I think I got the sound pretty close though!
