  • @HyBr1dRaNg3r

    I was on a huge Beatles kick for years and what I always found cool was that you could basically listen to any song and say “This was written by John” or “This was Paul” by the guitar “structure.” Then if you still couldn’t figure it out, it was probably George! Just can’t imagine where music would be without the Beatles!

      I think Paul's were a little more complicated in chord structure. You agree?

    • @HyBr1dRaNg3r
      @HyBr1dRaNg3r ปีที่แล้ว +61

      @@jasonhutter7534 That’s actually a pretty interesting question and I think would depend on how you define complicated…The best comparison I can make would be Penny Lane vs Across the Universe. Penny Lane(Paul) does a lot of moving the lower note in a chord, like “linking” his chord changes. I’d consider it technically challenging. Across the Universe(John) is more “abstract” and not as “grounded” in theory as Paul’s playing. It’s more experimental, if that makes any sense? With Paul, you can normally sense where he is going while John does more unexpected/out there kind of stuff.
      That was the opinion of myself and my guitar teacher after I had gone through a few years of Beetlemania😂

    He is probably the most humble person i have ever seen. And what's most astounding is the fact that his humility is genuine and not merely a facade. For him to say that people "like" 'let it be' is such an understatement for a song that's often been regarded as perhaps the most soothing and beautiful song ever written. There is nothing more to say about this man other than the fact that he is "The greatest of all time".

    It’s amazing the amount of talent it takes to just pull these incredible, world reknowned songs seemingly out of thin air. I am a musician myself and I can appreciate the amount of creativity and raw talent it takes to pull this off. Just think of the catalog of songs they built both together and alone/solo…it’s astonishing to say the least!

      I would fall to sleep. He would be lying, putting a spin on things. I like the early Beatles stuff they wrote. Paul, John, George. Some of the chords were very nice. Not just in Beatles songs, but other artists also in that early, mid sixties period had interesting chords.

      He could lord it over anyone with hits and songwriting. The Beatles are so Great they make all the 50's guys seem so small, except maybe Elvis...even Ray Charles and Chuck Berry no disrespect,but they are not in the same league or anywhere close as songwriters...

    • @boxsterman77

      Yeah. He is very matter of factly recounting things. Some may interpret his statements as boastful, but of course when you are recounting the writing of "Yesterday" or "Hey Jude" or so many other timeless gems, and you are recalling doing concerts where the uncontrolled screaming never needed and the band couldn't even hear themselves over the screaming, it's not boasting. It is documented fact.

      I admit to being a mega-McCartney fan. Having said that, he really seems to have a humble awareness of what the Beatles were and are. As well as himself. When I saw him I n concert he genuinely seemed to enjoy and connect with all of us. Amazing, considering it had to be his . . . 1 bazillionth sho!
      He shared some personal feelings, sort of prequel to song like If you were here, Let It Be, My Love and many more.
