I love these. Thank you very much for sharing.

I've sung Beatles songs on karaoke nights sometimes. Normally, I pick "Yesterday" or "Let it be".

yes these vid's are very well made on three levels, i feel.

1. Obviously for folks who are into karaoke'ing.
2. For guitarists as these features the chords progression
3. For purists as there appears to be a software that can remove the vocals and create instrumental only.
It also does this opposite where you can create and isolate the vocals.

However point #3 does not apply to this next vid as, to my ears it does not sound like the original track.

Whatever, Got to Get You Into My Life is great as an instrumental because it features some Jazz,

This one also sounds close to the original-

I agree though I'd say they aren't just for people who are into karaoke, guitarists or purists but also for people to learn to sing these songs anyway or teach their children to sing these songs, proper singers while practising & choir masters to get their choir members to learn these songs.

I'm not just into karaoke, I'm also in the choir at work, I vocally conduct the sing-alongs at work & get elderly people singing in the elderly people's group I help to run at work & I get the Victorian Carol-singers job at Dickensian Xmas Fairs at work.

Hi HORSA. The song "Eleanor Rigby" would perfect for the choir, would you say?

Hi HORSA. The song "Eleanor Rigby" would perfect for the choir, would you say?

Hi Vince!

We sing a lot of Beatles songs in choir. All you need is love, We can work it out, Yesterday, We all live in a yellow submarine & Let it be are the best Beatles songs for choir in my opinion but Eleanor Rigby is a good choir song. I'm not the choir mistress though so don't make those decisions. I sing solos in the choir & duets with the choir master as well.
