Here is the first of the two new Beatles songs from the Anthology series.
The other tab already in the archive is a little hard to follow, so I
figured out the intro for myself and wrote them down. This song features
some ingenious slide work from George which isn�t really very hard to
learn.  The hard part (for me) is getting the tone and sustain that
he gets, especially on the wide vibrato on the first note of the solo.
Anyway, just have fun with this great song!  - Zach

Video Free As A Bird

The Beatles - Free as a Bird (1977/1995)

The Beatles - Free as a bird (LIVE - 1994)
The Beatles together again in 1994, playing their new song: Free is a bird! Can you imagine they together again, playing in a concert? PS Of course that never happened. Actually, the song was recorded in 1994 (yes, after Lennon´s death), but thIs video is just a EDITION with scenes of clips from each other concerts. I put all that scenes together, synchronizing the song with their lips and instruments as I could.

Beatles- Free As A Bird
I've tried to mix the song "Free As A Bird", so it sounds a little bit like an orignal Beatles take. I have used Johns original demo on intro and the most of the main part of the song. And then I have taken a piece from the "I'll Be There" version from Anthology, the count in part. Finally i used the Paul, George & Ringo re-make of the song, and I hope you'll enjoy.
