Norwegian Wood - Caleb Melo

Here's my cover of "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles. This one was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was the first Beatles song to ever feature George Harrison on sitar. The version you hear in this video was arranged and recorded completely by myself. I will also add a that I'm using a Hillman brand sitar bar! Please let me know what you think, and I hope you all enjoy!

Great arrangement Caleb, and you've got that sitar sound going! Is it the Hillman bar or are you using effects?

Thanks Greg! Iâ€™m just using the Hillman bar, and a little bit of reverb from the amp!

Well done, with the bass and guitar parts too. You hit the notes dead on and it sounds very close to the real thing.

That was very cool. Had the sitar sound happening in spades. I have a sitar bar for those occasions when I want to color my sounds. Great job Caleb.
