Crippled Inside- John Lennon (Guitar Cover)

Here's my first solo John Lennon cover! I love this song. It's off of his 1971 album Imagine. It features George Harrison on Resonator slide guitar (also known as a Dobro guitar)

The lineup for this song was John on his Epiphone Casino, George Harrison on Resonator guitar, Klaus Voormann on Upright Bass, two guitarists from the band Wishbone Ash on acoustic guitars, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Alan White on drums/percussion

John plugged his Casino into a Fender amp- either a Silverface twin reverb or the Beatles Blonde Bassman amp (that had been used on Rubber Soul-Let it Be). I'm using a 1963 Blonde Bassman because it crunches up nicely, as heard on the record. No pedals!

Amp settings: Normal Channel
Vol: 3
Treble: 6
Bass: 3
Presence: 9

In addition to John's Fender amp, you hear some of the acoustic picking on his Epiphone in the recording. This is because he sang the vocals live with the guitar, and his vocal mic picked up the guitar strings. I put an AKG condenser mic on the Casino, in addition to the Neumann on the amp. So you can hear my acoustic strings as well.

I'm lucky that I got to borrow a Resonator guitar for this cover. It's a 1970's Japanese made Dorado- made by the Gretsch company. I placed a Neumann microphone in front of it, it's not electric. George recorded his Dobro live onto the backing track, which was take 6. Afterwards, he overdubbed a new solo and a few extra lines. I include both the original and overdubbed parts here

For the acoustic guitars I'm playing my Martin 00-18 and Gibson J-45. It's possible a 12 string acoustic was used on the recording, but I'm not sure

I added some slapback echo onto all the guitars in Pro Tools. Using the Abbey Road J37 Tape Saturation plug-in to get this effect

Thanks for watching and let me know what other Lennon songs you'd like to hear!
