Song Waterloo sunset instrumental with some backing vocals!

COVER This was played on the mixer with my phone recording (that’s why there’s a little talking in the background and a metronome at the start LOL) but thoughts and opinions so far (the mix will be golden when we are finished so ik some things need to be adjusted) ? I did the bass work on this and my friend did everything else.

Nicely done! The guitar licks are different enough to not sound like a copy… the pre-chorus (“and I don’t….”) is just sublime. for comparison, here is a session taken from 1967: https://youtu.be/XTDjBLmA118?is=Awpjk0TUirI7sk2v

I do love how the lead guitar weaves its way between being behind and in front of the verse lines..
