Good Day Sunshine
When listening, you'd swear Laurence is actually playing 3 or 4 guitars!

Product Description
GRAMMY winning Paul McCartney and WINGS guitarist Laurence Juber plays his own solo acoustic guitar arrangements of some of the best loved melodies of all time. Jubers arrangements of these songs are based on duplicating the original feel of the songs and run the gambit from breathtaking beauty (Strawberry Fields... to guitar heroics of "I Saw Her Standing there" in which Juber sounds like 3 players all at once ..matching McCartneys bass lines with Harrisons original solos!

YES!!!.......2007-03-08

Lovely guitar pieces by the Great Laurence Juber. I listen to this over and over. It's amazing that people can play like this. If you love fingerstyle and jazz, you'll love this. (I adore people who play like this: Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, and other fingerstylists.) I want more!!!

Superb guitar style.......2006-04-19

I saw Laurence Juber at the recent Fest For Beatles Fans in Secaucus, NJ, and was completely blown away by his playing ability. As he was mentioning the various CDs and DVDs and Grammy awards he has, I told my son "I'm buying all those CDs and DVDs tomorrow". Well I didn't buy them all but I made sure I got this one, and I am here to say that it is an excellent example of his great creativity and guitar-playing skill. I scored a double-header on this as I got a great instrumental guitar CD and a great Beatle CD. If you even just LIKE Beatle music, if you even just LIKE acoustic guitar, this CD will have you smiling and humming in no time. A great CD by a great guitarist. You just can't go wrong with this CD.

Loved it. Was buying my first home when the beatles were big and could not afford to purchase records. Laurence Juber is very good and I plan to purchase more of his music.

This album deserves the best rating! Juber's music is both authentic and creative. Juber plays top quality acustic guitar.

Excellent and then some. .......2004-11-17

As many of us are, I am a long time and never ending admirer of the Beatles and all they encompassed. Over the years I've taken interest in various tributes, variations etc. of their music and usually am disappointed. Somehow I missed this one and stumbled onto it recently. Halfway through the second track I knew I found one of those great albums that will always stay above the surface. There's too much to go into here...all I can say is I can't imagine anyone past the entry level Beatles fan not enjoying this. Juber has pulled off a great and rare thing here, making tribute to the music we all know and love like a lifelong, irreplaceable best friend, while displaying his inventive arrangement skills and breathtaking talent as a guitarist. There's some twists and turns and depth to challenge us but he's not out to lose us and forget what brought us all here in the first place. Beyond that, or I guess in addition, it's simply an acoustic guitar daydream, perfectly produced. Impressive stuff to put it mildly. I just wish I'd found it a few years earlier...
