Synopsis

Album Description

I started arranging Beatles music for guitar many years ago. I can?t remember exactly when nor can I remember the first song I arranged. Beginning in January of 2003 I began exploring more of the music written by Lennon and McCartney, perhaps because my son is now discovering just how timeless and infectious the music is. It seems each generation goes through a process of discovery with the music of the Beatles. So here is a collection of my favorite Beatles songs. They?re all played on an acoustic guitar that has been tuned down quite a bit from a normal guitar. This is a solo guitar project; stark, raw and unfiltered.

CD Reviews

We've heard it all before ... and it's a CDR not a CD ... wi

"This is a very pleasant album, but as a collector with hundreds of Beatles cover albums, I would say it brings nothing new to the genre except a clever title. And I was extremely disappointed to find out that it was a CDR not a CD, with a glued on paper label to boot. Who knows if it will even be playable in 10 years?! CDR sellers ought to at least warn potential buyers that it's not a pressed CD ... which is really what it was advertised as. And how expensive is it to print on CDRs directly these days anyway?"

Marvelous guitar work on Beatles Faves

"My first review of an album, this is just plain awesome. The selections are great and hearing them on an acoustic guitar is wonderful. Every song on the CD is really good. I would highly reccomend it to any Beatles fan (who isn't?) or anyone interested in artful acoustic guitar pieces. The tuned down guitar is an exceptional fit to these songs."

Technically Amazing but...

"OK, there's no question this guy can play the heck out of the guitar. And taking on a song like "Magical Mystery Tour" on solo guitar? That's ambitious. Latarski does some very nifty arranging work on "Norwegian Wood" and his versions of "Let It Be" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" are so full you'll hardly notice the lack of vocals. But doesn't every jazz guitarist play "Blackbird" just to show off? One star off for that and the obligatory cover of "Yesterday" - a song we've all heard just too many versions of already."
