- Happy New Year! Here's a detailed isolation of the different instruments that make up Hey Bulldog. Hey Bulldog was recorded on February 11th, 1968. The song only took 1 day to complete with the basic track having John on piano, Paul on tambourine, George on guitar, and Ringo on drums. Further overdubs included vocals; the bass, guitar and snare hits; and two separate guitar solo tracks. The session was filmed for use in the Lady Madonna promotional film.

That bass line is like a song in itself
Macca definitely listening to Motown and Jamerson around this time…so good!
A real counterpoint , like JS Bach !... Macca is a genius, he doesn’t need an exhibition or "bling bling" virtuosity of many soloist to demonstrate his precious talent.
Imagine the talent when 4 guys can just get together in a studio, have fun and let it all hang out for a couple of hours, and produce something this good. For most groups, this cold be the song that defined their career. For the Beatles, it was just a good time.
The fucking bassline man
7:41 bass starts here
His bass is mind-blowing!
You didn't need to timestamp that.
great song with great bassline
Love that buildup, like a suspense movie, higher, and higher,
and then comes the explosion!
The song that got me into the Beatles.
What a great song!!!!!!! Unreal!!!!!
Guitarr and Bass Amazing -- John Unique
one of my all time favourite mccartney bass lines. great rickenbacker tone!
The best isolation of the drums I've heard of this song.
People thought I was nuts for buying Yellow Submarine just for Hey Bulldog and Only a Northern Song! I told ya so!
And don't forget It's All Too Much!👌
@@richard-tm9ti AND It’s Only a Northern Song!
incroyable ¡ tout est incroyable ; le timbre de voix de John, les méandres inattendus des phrases de George, la basse dingue...
Absolute creative musical geniuses.
Best hey bulldog bass isolated, without the drum sound on background
By far!
Very unique guitar solo.
Well done! That into piano is CLEAN & CRISP!!
Everyone talking about the bass but nobody really mentioning how great the song is overall.
Drums magnifique
Fabuloso !!!!!!
So So NICELY Done,TIMELESSLY ❤
John's voice...
This is high quality. Thank you for sharing all the details.
thanks for the vid im loving paul's bass in higher quality
Amazing song great!
i was always curious what the noises at the beginning were from
Los ladridos los ladridos 🎉🥳🥳🥳🐕🐕
Happy New Year! ❤️
how they created such a masterpiece?
"Don't look at me man, I only had 10 children!"
Clean looks, clezn sounds
What was your source material? The isolations are fabulous!
I have some fantastic bootlegs of what's suppose to be the master tracks. There was also the 2023 Atmos mix and the Rockband stems. Those combined with the Msvep and lalalai ai isolators I got some pretty good stems, although there is still room for improvement.
a question in which part of the song it sounds the overdubbed snare hits and which part starts this parts of the overdubbed guitar 15:20 15:31
It's during the "You can talk to me" sections of the song" th-cam.com/video/3loZHihta1M/w-d-xo.html
@@isolatedstems thanks and the share hits
a question in which part of the song starts the overdubbed snare hits starts 6:20
The same "you can talk to me" sections
Faltan partes de la guitarra
12:56 😶👍🏻
Paul made the snare overdubs.
Snare overdubs, bass guitar, and some extra guitar were recorded onto one track at the same time. Looking at some synced footage you can see Ringo doing the snare overdubs: th-cam.com/video/bA1mSTa5xIA/w-d-xo.html
@@isolatedstems the same Paul McCartney is on drums in the same footage, any "extraordinary" explanation for this?
@@SeboDigital Snare overdubs, bass guitar and a second track of George's guitar were recorded onto one track. So unless Paul has extra arms he didn't do the snare overdubs. This is readily apparent in the footage here: th-cam.com/video/bA1mSTa5xIA/w-d-xo.html that is synced. The footage of Paul playing the drums is from a jam as John didn't play any guitar on Hey Bulldog. It's also clear it isn't the snare overdubs as he isn't just hitting a snare. But in the synced footage you can see everything they are playing is heard on the final recording. It's a four track recording so they probably wouldn't record the different overdubs separately and bounce down all the tracks onto one track, especially on a quick throwaway song which Hey Bulldog was. The basic track was recorded onto one track as well.
Lennon & Harrison lead guitar duo !
Only Harrison
@@isolatedstems , Harrison never in his life performed or composed a more aggressive solo than this one. It's not Harrison's style at all. If you consider that all the guitar work on "It's All Too Much" was done by Lennon you can get an idea. I believe Lennon is the composer and performer of this solo, perhaps with tracking by Harrison. In the video you can see Lennon playing notes on the Gibson SG. It is not the first time that Harrison plays what Lennon tells him, as happened in "Norwegian Wood", "I Feel Fine" and many others.
@@stellapolanco6860 I don't understand when people say "George Harrison could never play that...". When even one of the biggest critics of George, Geoff Emerick, says that George nailed the first take of the guitar solo on the first take then George most definitely played the solo. If Geoff had the chance he would bash George and not give him credit, but when Geoff of all people say George nailed the solo he did. He's played plenty of aggressive solos like his slide solo on Gimme Some Truth, Savoy Truffle (th-cam.com/video/8hnHLoTJkKg/w-d-xo.html) has a pretty aggressive guitar solo, Revolution 1 has aggressive guitar playing by Harrison, even Let It Be (album version) has a aggressive guitar solo. We can hear John shouting in the background so I don't believe he would be shouting as loud as he was while playing the solo. The video of the sessions (th-cam.com/video/bA1mSTa5xIA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=va8mrTLacqWZdwMw) you can see that when they are actively recording things onto the track they are wearing headphones. They had to wear headphones to sync up with what was already recorded. Every time John is seen with the guitar he isn't wearing any headphones so we can assume anything he played was either one, in the jam session that happened with Paul on drums, or two, he was just noodling around.
@@isolatedstems , After Lennon's murder, the only thing Emerick has done is take credit away from Lennon for everything he did within the Beatles, always benefiting Paul or to a lesser extent George, of course resorting to lies all the time. You tell me or give me an example of a guitar solo by George within the Beatles or alone that is the same as "Hey Bulldog", I will answer: none.
Let It Be (album version), Yer Blues, Savoy Truffle, One After 909, Gimme Some Truth, Real Love, Octopus's Garden are all great solos on par or even better than his on Hey Bulldog. But his solos on songs like Something or Dig A Pony also show off his prowess. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to discredit John as he has done great solos on songs like Revolution or Get Back. It's just that George was the one who did the solo for Hey Bulldog.
John plays the solo on this
George most likely recorded all the guitar parts. There are 4 different guitar tracks on Hey Bulldog, first one is the guitar recorded on the basic track with piano, tambourine, and drums. The second being on an overdub track with bass and drum overdubs. The other two being for the double tracked guitar section. The overdubbed guitar solo has John, Paul, and possibly Ringo shouting in the background so I don't think John would've been shouting that way if he was playing. The available footage as well doesn't appear to have John playing any guitar that was used on the final mix. It does show him jamming with Paul on drums but I don't think that was part of any overdubs. It doesn't appear that he overdubbed any guitar himself which would have him wearing headphones to hear the track. So in all likelihood John didn't play any guitar and it was all George
I don't think so. Check that "Hey Bulldog all" material. At 13:20 they are doing overdubs. Paul is playing bass and George is doing his lead guitar overdub. John is not visible. But you can see Ringo doing his overdub with Paul and George. Based on this, I believe they played all together and recorded two tracks at the same time: track 2 bass/lead guitar and track 3 drums/solo guitar (track 1 is the basic track and track 4 vocals). They didn't do any reduction mixes according to Lewisohn. I suggest the guitar solo must have been played by John. They were able to play the bass/lead guitar and drums/solo tracks at the same time because of this.
The bass/lead guitar overdub is on a different track than the drums overdub and the guitar solo. On the original stereo mix the first three instruments are in the middle. But they are separated on Yellow Submarine songtrack remix. There the bass/lead guitar overdub track is on the right, but the drums overdub remains in the middle. During the coda you can hear this clearly. I think on the original stereo mix they moved the guitar solo right, but kept the drums overdub in the middle (on YS songtrack this track is placed similarly). They could do this because the drums and solo guitar are not playing at the same time, otherwise the moving of solo guitar would also move the drums.
If they wanted George or Paul to play the guitar solo, what would they do? During overdubs they could have first done track 2, bass and lead guitar. Then track 3, drums and solo. Or they could also have played bass, lead guitar overdub and drums overdub all on one track. That way the solo guitar could have been played on its own track, by John, Paul or George. But they didn't do it this way. The recording process was fast, and they decided to play all four instrumental overdubs simultaneously to two tracks, all four playing.@@isolatedstems
@@pepperman3554 I don't think so still. They had to have done a reduction mix because in the original stereo mix the two tracked guitar solos were mixed together. Then in the 1999 remix the guitar solo was separated into the left and right channel. According to Geoff Emerick George nailed the first take of the guitar solo on the first take. So we know George did play the guitar on at least one of the guitar solo tracks. The guitar solo was then double tracked as heard up above from 13:40 - 15:07 . It's here we can hear John shouting in the background so I don't believe he would be shouting as loud as he was while playing the solo. Or they may have also dropped in the solo on the tracks they recorded the vocals on.
So you are the same guy, sounds familiar. You hang on to this two solos theory, but the facts don't support it. And your source is Emerick, the worst one on the Beatles. This doesn't convince me.
Lewisohn says no reduction mix, I believe him more than you. I'll say it again (although it seems futile), it's the same solo. The fact that the very same shouts can be heard both sides confirms this. Quite possibly there is ADT used, that's reasonable. And that's how the same solo and the same shouts can be heard left and right.
That John yelling (it's mostly John, maybe Ringo also), now that is interesting. Why John's voice can be heard on the solo track? If he's not playing on the overdubs he should be nowhere near a microphone. So why? I tell you my theory: it's because he's playing the solo and his voice bleeds in to the guitar microphone. This yelling and screaming is part of the song, think about the coda also (perhaps the yelling could also be on the vocal track).
"Dropped the solo on vocal track...". No, why would they do it like this? Sorry, makes no sense. They had two tracks to put the solo on. They don't need to use the vocal track to this.
But you said nothing about my theory that the guitar overdub/bass track was recorded simultaneously with the drums overdub/solo guitar track. I think it's pretty certain that the drums overdub is not on the same track as the bass and lead guitar. Challenge that. @@isolatedstems
@@pepperman3554 I'll give you that Emerick is a very unreliable narrator but he still does have creditability (although taken with a grain of salt) as he was there.
A lot of what I say is an educated guess, but it is a fact that double tracked the guitar solo with two different takes. There are subtle differences in the playing of the two takes that you can hear and see if you put this audio file into a program like Audacity and look at it's waveforms: drive.google.com/file/d/1l1Ylk2-qLs7enId-jfKwrakkPWt93TzP/view?usp=sharing .
The shouting in the background of each guitar solo track is also different although that is a little harder to tell. That means that the guitar solo had to have taken up a portion of two tracks.
We know that two vocal tracks were recorded, that being as heard on the original stereo mix with the main vocal take being in the right channel and the overdubbed "you can talk to me" vocal being in the left channel.
So looking at all the tracks on the song if no reduction mix was made: one track had the basic track with piano, drums, guitar, and tambourine. Another track had the bass, guitar overdub, and possibly *snare overdub (as this one could've possibly been recorded on another track). The main vocal track with John and Paul. Lastly another vocal to double track the "you can talk to me" vocal. The guitar solo overdubs had to be on the vocal tracks as the two vocal tracks had the space.
Looking at the extracted Rockband stems the vocal track (drive.google.com/file/d/1Bznex_LyXHi-YB_ZnA2Xucrz655m84bv/view?usp=sharing) drops out completely silent during the guitar solo. That's interesting as throughout the vocal track bleed through of the instrumental track can be heard. You can also hear just the smallest bit of guitar before the vocal track drops out completely. This dropout indicates that the double tracked guitar solo was recorded onto both the vocal tracks.
I used some bootlegs for this video and some interesting stuff in the bootlegs was tracks of the all four tracks of Hey Bulldog. All the tracks can be heard here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nXy3qvMldsHZRH3fLjdGX25FUNnbTsyb?usp=sharing . As the tracks show the guitar solo overdubs were done separately. Listening to this instrumental mix (drive.google.com/file/d/16OYyYtWTkg2wfdCjoJv3mmzuf12MUk2Y/view?usp=sharing) you can hear the solo section without the guitar solo. No ai separation was used.
*I think the snare overdub most likely was recorded with the bass and guitar overdubs for two reasons. It's with those overdubs in the original stereo mix and the horrible quality of the Rockband bass stem. The Rockband stems did use the master tapes where it could as heard by all the clean bass stems as Paul usually recorded his bass separately, but for the Hey Bulldog stems the bass was separated from other overdubs and the snare overdub can be heard bleeding through heavily. Although there is a possibility it was recorded later as the 1999 Yellow Submarine remix does have it separated. But this footage does show the overdubs being recorded (th-cam.com/video/bA1mSTa5xIA/w-d-xo.html) and it does show the snare being recorded with the bass and guitar. I lean more towards the bass, guitar, and snare overdubs being recorded on the same track. Although that might not be the case.
