I'll Be Back (song)
"I'll Be Back" is a song written by John Lennon, with some collaboration from Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney). It was recorded by the English rock band the Beatles for the A Hard Day's Night (album), soundtrack album to their film ''A Hard Day's Night (film), A Hard Day's Night'' (1964) but not used in the film. This song was not released in North America until ''Beatles '65'', five months later. Structure According to musicologist Ian MacDonald, Lennon created the song based on the chords of Del Shannon's "Runaway (Del Shannon song), Runaway" a UK hit in April 1961. Author Bill Harry echoed this, noting that Lennon: "just reworked the chords of the Shannon number and came up with a completely different song". With its poignant lyric and flamenco style acoustic guitars "I'll Be Back" possesses a tragic air and is eccentric in structure. Unusually for a pop song, it shifts between major and minor keys, incorporates two distinct bridges, and lacks a traditional ...

Nylon-string Guitar
The classical guitar, also known as Spanish guitar, is a member of the guitar family used in classical music and other styles. An acoustic wooden string instrument with strings made of gut or nylon, it is a precursor of the modern steel-string acoustic and electric guitars, both of which use metal strings. Classical guitars derive from instruments such as the lute, the vihuela, the gittern (the name being a derivative of the Greek "kithara"), which evolved into the Renaissance guitar and into the 17th and 18th-century baroque guitar. Today's ''modern classical guitar'' was established by the late designs of the 19th-century Spanish luthier, Antonio Torres Jurado. For a right-handed player, the traditional classical guitar has 12 frets clear of the body and is properly held up by the left leg, so that the hand that plucks or strums the strings does so near the back of the sound hole (this is called the classical position). However, the right-hand may move closer to the fretboar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Doubletracking
Double tracking or doubling is an audio recording technique in which a performer sings or plays along with their own prerecorded performance, usually to produce a stronger or bigger sound than can be obtained with a single voice or instrument. It is a form of overdubbing; the distinction comes from the doubling of a part, as opposed to recording a different part to go with the first. The effect can be further enhanced by Panning (audio), panning one of the performances hard left and the other hard right in the stereo field. Automation Artificial or automatic double tracking, also known as ADT, was developed at Abbey Road Studios by engineers recording The Beatles in the 1960s. It used variable speed tape recorders connected in such a way as to mimic the effect created by double tracking. ADT produced a unique sound that could be imitated but not precisely duplicated by later analog delay, analog and digital delay devices, which are capable of producing an effect called doublin ...
