      he helped george with a lot of riffs. Not to take ANY credit away from George but in some written biographys Clapton is named as a joint part of the creative process that aided George to write some of the Beatle's hits. I didn't mean to say he played these riffs himself. I amended my original comment. @@hollycrawford6054

      Always makes me laugh when I hear people say this. George was an underrated lead guitarist, Ringo was an underrated drummer, Paul was an underrated bass player, John was an underrated ballad writer etc etc etc. Underrated by whom exactly? They were/are The Beatles - they couldn’t be more rated and praised if they tried. They changed, like actually changed, music at the time and will continue to do so forever. To say one of them, any of them, was underrated is such an ‘internet’ thing to say and really unfounded.

    It’s amazing to me that the biggest band in the world at the time wrote songs that had odd time signatures.

    • @bouwebear597
      @bouwebear597 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      that's probably (at least initially) because they didn't know what a time "signature" was (and therefore were not constrained to any of them). The only "signatures" they knew were their own when they were signing autographs. Timing, along with chording (at least in the beginning) was just on pure collective instinct.
      Hence they could say to Ringo, "it goes bum-ba-da da-bum-bum, can you make that fit?" They cook it up with Ringo stirring the pot and at some point George Martin tells them what a time signature is.
      Ignorance of formal nomenclature means being free of any limitations. You naturally think outside the box because you didn't know you were supposed to be in a box, or that you were in one in the first place. That's how Lennon wrote Strawberry Field: two different bits in different time signatures and he just threw it to Producer George, who sped up or slowed down one of the tapes and joined them together.

    • @porly33
      @porly33 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Bloxsy random question I know but with your Lithium cover (either your first or second cover whichever you said was similar to the Reading 1992 performance of this song), is the entire riff just picking downwards (idk the proper name) or are there some upstrokes in there? Because looking at your cover u seem to do only downstrokes but Kurt does some upstrokes in the video? Idk if this question makes any sense lol. Love your work keep it up 😊

    • @bloxsy_
      @bloxsy_  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think the way I picked it was trying to be more similar to the album version but I did use downstrokes and upstrokes. In live versions I think Kurt just strums it in a loose way, I'm guessing it's easier for him to sing and play at the same time. Thanks!
