Jealous Guy- John Lennon (Bass and Guitar Cover)

Описание: Jealous Guy was released in 1971 on Lennon's Imagine album, but began as 'Child of Nature' in 1968. The Beatles were in India and their guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gave a lecture about 'the son of the mother nature', which also inspired McCartney's song Mother Nature's Son. John changed the lyrics for the Imagine album to reflect his own vulnerabilities

The song was recorded on May 24th (my birthday) 1971 at Lennon's Ascot Studios. The backing track consisted of:
John Lennon: Acoustic Guitar, Whistling, Vocals
Klaus Voormann: Bass
Alan White: Vibraphone
Nicky Hopkins: Piano
John Barham: Harmonium
Jim Keltner: Drums
Mike Pinder: Tambourine
Tom Evans and Joey Molland: Additional Acoustic Guitars

Evans and Molland were from the band Badfinger and are confirmed to have recorded acoustic guitars that day on I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier. But only John's acoustic guitar is really audible on Jealous Guy, so I'm only including his for this cover

John most likely played his 1962 Martin D-28 acoustic on Jealous Guy. He also had his old Gibson J-160e and other guitars during the session. But footage of Harrison picking up a wildly out of tune J160 four days after the Jealous Guy sessions suggests that it wasn't used on this track

Klaus Voormann was an old friend of the Beatles from the Hamburg days and has an impressive resumé. He played bass on All Things Must Pass, Plastic Ono Band, Ringo (1973), Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain', was a member of Manfred Mann, and most famously created the album cover for Revolver. He played bass on all of Imagine and Plastic Ono Band, using his 1962 Fender Precision Bass into an Ampeg B15 amp

I'm using my 1969 Martin 00-18 for John's acoustic guitar. I'm not using a pick, because you can clearly hear John strumming with his fingers on the song. The guitar is being mic'd with a Neumann TLM-103 condenser

For Klaus, I'm using my 1978 Fender Precision Bass into my 1965 Fender Bassman amp. I'm using a piece of foam beneath the strings to mute them, like Klaus is seen doing in session footage. I replaced the pickguard on my bass to make it look more like Klaus's and John Deacon's, two of my bass heroes

Interesting Notes:
0:03 John enters with vocals and guitar
0:17 John plays a walkup on Em on the b-string, ending on an Em6
0:26 John adds his index to the first fret of the b-string on Em, making it a sort of Em/C or Em-minor6th
0:32 Klaus enters on bass for the first chorus
0:33 John plays an Fadd9, the Hard Day's Night chord 1X3213
0:45 John releases the A-string 1st fret, making it an A/Bb
0:51 John releases the D-string 2nd fret, making it an Em7
1:12 Klaus plays an amazing ascending, then descending run on Em, ending on a fast lick. A ghost note on the G-string, B note on the D-string, F-sharp on the A-string to E on the A-string
1:33 John plays a normal D chord instead of D7
2:15 Klaus plays an interesting C-sharp D E D D E lick
3:00 Klaus plays a Low E string note quickly before D
3:04 Klaus plays a beautiful high F-sharp to E on the G-string
3:15 Klaus plays an interesting run over Em: G A G E D C
