Working up a Beatles medely for our group. Have "You Can't Do That" into "Baby You Can Drive My Car". For the third song I wanted to keep the same quarter note accented feel and cadence going. Was thinking I might squeeze "Taxman" in there, but it doesn't quite do it. Also thought I might break the cadence and go into "Ticket to Ride", but it doesn't thrill me either. Any ideas?

"I Feel Fine", from Beatles '65 is a great song and a real crowd pleaser..Finishing the medley with an early Beatles piece is also very cool!

I think "Hey Bulldog" maintains the feel of the first two.

You should try putting "The Word" and "What You're Doing" with them. If you wanna know what it would sound like get a copy of "The Beatles Love" It's on there. BTW, that is a must have for any Beatles fan(atic).

Yes. If you played the third track on the second side backwards, you could hear a young Moody saying, "Just delete..vvvpt, vvpt, vvvvvvvvvpt...Just delete....vpt, vpt, vvvvvvvvpt, vvvvvpt...Just delete..."

George Martin's son put together a remix of beatles songs (see May 2007 Guitar Player) and in there he had a medley of

Drive my car
The word
What you're doing
All interspersed with Taxman

I'd say if you combined those four songs you wouldn't go wrong.

I think you might also want to experiment with Day tripper, I feel fine and ticket to ride.

Let us know what you pick.

We decided on "I'll Be Back". We can make the cadence work but the most important consideration was the texture of the harmony.

We are planning several Beatles tunes as stand-alone pieces, some of which were those suggested for the medely.

Thanks to all for your input.
