I read your comment first, and then listened to Ringo's part. Spot-on! He only speeds up a tiny bit at the end. Ringo is the human metronome! Remarkable.
True. I shudder to think of what the world would be like if they had never gotten together. I realize that's a pretty extreme comment, but it's coming from an extreme fan.
@@ronniechilds2002 It would genuinely be a completely different place. The impact they had on the culture of the 1960’s and therefor the decades after cannot be understated. They dominated the culture, music, fashion, attitude, and beliefs of people for the entire 1960’s. Pretty much everything in the 70’s takes some sort of inspiration from the Beatles. Their impact is still felt today too.
George's guitar was so tight. The piano was a nice touch. I just get tired of people trying to compare the Beatles to other groups. They were so different.
These, Beatles deconstruction/isolated track videos, makes it feel like I am getting to listen to The Beatles, all over again...for the first time. This is absolute Beatles heaven.
I dont care what John said, his voice is FANTASTIC. Mesmerizing. Compelling. From the first time I heard the Beatles in 1964, it was John. I love all their voices, but John's voice speaks to me in a very overwhelming way.
I have to give it to John...holding that rhythm pattern whole going direct in and not being messy with it just gives more cred of how incredible a rhythm guitarist he was. I heard he complained that the Ephiphone used to kill his hands because of the neck.
I performed with a friend's Epiphone once and I couldn't believe how much harder it was to play than my Telecaster. Props to the Beatles for being able to rock with that thing!
@@seancarroll3823 maybe it just needed a setup? mine plays pretty well IMO. In John's case,he never maintained his guitars much, that was likely why he had issues.
@@seancarroll3823 Epiphones from the 50s and 60s were very different instruments in terms of quality compared to modern Epiphones, they were professional grade, made in the US instruments like Gibson, Fender, Gretsch, Rickenbacker etc. back then.
I believe it’s more like helter skelter if we’re insisting it’s a beatles song- they almost certainly did inspire big early metal artists with these tracks just through their notoriety and of course, they’re great songs
Listening to these isolated tracks it’s clear that George isn’t just doubling John’s primary guitar part for most of the song. George’s part adds volume and depth with his fills. This makes the sound much less one-dimensional. Even when they play the same notes (as in the turnaround at the nd of each verse) the different tones of John’s Casino and George’s SG really adds punch to the part. A lot of people payed attention to this. Tom Schulz used layers of guitars playing the same (or almost same ) parts to achieve the same effect in his Boston recordings. Rick Beato’s video on “More Than A Feeling” really does a good job of deconstructing that. Cheers!
So interesting to me how subtle additions of doubled tracked words and short phrases added to the sound. It's not double tracked the whole time, just bits here and there.
Guitars a so good, can we take a moment to appreciate that Rythmn section though. Paul has this unorthodox way of phrasing, with that tight as a bootlace boogie beat of Ringo. These isolated tracks highlight what a Powerhouse they were!
Yeah, this bass part is so atypical. As a bass player myself I finally get to hear all the notes Paul stuck into a basic rock and roll type song. And I can confidently say I would never play this song the way he did. However.... How can you not say it fits perfectly into the sound of the song? Simply amazing and so interesting.
Along with, "Helter Skelter", this track is one of the earliest, true, 'Heavy Metal' tracks. Some will say, "Day Tripper", (including John), was the earliest heavy metal example...but I think "Revolution", and "Helter Skelter", takes those early credits for heavy metal. "Revolution", is pure Lennon genius.
@@kevinmurray3945 well... yes, that's exactly what we pianists do. Polyphony is a real brain bender! It takes years to do it well. I'm in awe of those who just have the gift.
We've hear the story of John pushing the amp and mixing console to red line, but did George also do that on his part? Hard to tell for sure, but that tube distortion he gets is amazing. It adds an incredible hook to the song.
Yeah i think george's guitar got the same treatment but you're right theres definetelly something else in the chain on his end it sounds more full and fuzzy
@@watmun You're correct - both went straight into the desk where Chris Thomas and Geoff Emerick pushed the limiters and EQ to get that overdrive/tube sound.
@@vsmicer I remember an interview with Emerick where he said he was terrified during Revolution that they were going to blow the desk and he'd lose his job lol!
Out of all the US flags, I personally dislike the 34 star one. I think it just looks odd. But it was a very interesting time in American history because… yknow, civil war.
Lennon plays the solo alongside the electric piano bit not Harrison. Harrison plays rhythm throughout. It's shown in the Revolution promo film, Rock band even depicts it and George himself said so.
Yes. In the promotional film, where they sing over the instrumental track, you can see that they are playing in A: th-cam.com/video/BGLGzRXY5Bw/w-d-xo.html
Is your source the LOVE DVD??? When the remixed it on Love they panned George and John left and right, but on the Blue album they still put John and George on the right channel.
No one accessed the original multi track tapes ,it's an EQ extraction with the audacity sound program ,it's a lie and click bait to say these are "isolated " tracks that have spread like wildfire on dozens of bands THE ONLY TRUE ISOLATED TRACKS FROM A MULTI TRACK TAPE IS THE 4 SONGS FROM LED ZEPPELIN 2 THAT CAME OUT ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. EVERY INSTRUMENT IS ON A SEPARATE TRACK ,AND GUITAR OVERDUBS HAVE A LEAD IN AND LEAD OUT SO THE OVERDUBS CAN BE FADED GENTLY INTO FINAL MIX
That cymbal sounds really bad, like a student line cymbal of the day. Maybe a Zyn. It's perfect in the full mix though. The wood beater is cool. You can hear the double bouncing of it which is so hard to NOT do with wood.
I think that’s his 20” A Zildjian or maybe his famous 18” though to me it sounds bigger/heavier. Then it’s getting pumped through the Fairchild to give it that whoosh roar. I think it sounds excellent
John Lennon "pinched" the intro to "Revolution" from Pee Wee Clayton's "Do Unto Others". I've always loathed the "Chairman Mao" third verse! Lennon should have stuck with the Esher Demo and repeated the first verse! Nice Lead Guitar by George Harrison and Electric Piano by Nicky Hopkins!!! Nice Drumming provided by Richard "Ringo Starr" Starkey!!!
Anyone who says that Ringo wasn't as solid as a rock is quite simply mistaken. How's that for diplomacy? I could have said they were idiots but that would be an understatement.
listen closely to the drumming and you can hear numerous overdubs , many of which may be paul adding in drum fills in certain areas where ringo was leaving open spaces.
The "Stereo" mix was an abomination! It was first released on the "Hey Jude" album in 1970. It was badly mixed by George Martin! I much preferred the "Mono" mix!
I wonder why they didn’t try for another take in the vocals? John sounds great but he & George sound ragged together. Another great Macca bass line. I think Ringo’s bass drum foot is underrated, solid. Not one of his better performances tho. But with all the guys standing around hand clapping must have made him feel more pressured. He fluffs a couple of fills, even remarks on his missed lick. Got to be because Paul is standing right over his shoulder! Can’t imagine a tougher room...
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Everything you said is complete nonsense. All of the vocals are by John (no George), the handclaps were overdubbed, & Ringo didn’t fluff any fills.

Once again...Ringo...is a human metronome. Ringo...could swing...like no other.

@@tangogrrl Если внимательно прислушаться, то в начале песни и в тихих паузах можно услышать настоящий старинный метроном, под который играет Ринго :)
Dude John's metronome rhythm is as good as ringos. Granted he is probably playing to ringo not with ringo. But he makes zero mistakes.
Love Ringo but they played to a metronome on this track
"And where would they be without the steady support of your drumbeat? That's what I'd like to know!"
John and George’s tone is unbeatable, unparalleled.
THIS is the sound of the 60s
It is amazing, how George adds and mixes his lead into John's. Those two...were meant...to play guitars together. Both...are guitar geniuses.

¡ESPECTACULAR GUITARRA RITMICA DE JOHN!!!!!!!!!!
I love the distortion of Lennon’s guitar 🔥
George's guitar was so tight. The piano was a nice touch. I just get tired of people trying to compare the Beatles to other groups. They were so different.

You're absolutely right. I've been waiting most of my life for this.
It's insane how much John and George's guitars sound like one. Its beautiful
I dont care what John said, his voice is FANTASTIC. Mesmerizing. Compelling. From the first time I heard the Beatles in 1964, it was John. I love all their voices, but John's voice speaks to me in a very overwhelming way.
This song today would go over well with the MAGA crowd.
me too. There is a reason why he won
One of my all time favorite songs and vocals
I have to give it to John...holding that rhythm pattern whole going direct in and not being messy with it just gives more cred of how incredible a rhythm guitarist he was. I heard he complained that the Ephiphone used to kill his hands because of the neck.
I got blisters on my fingers.

That bass and drum!
Nick Hopkins,grande músico.
Very Good Man, God Bless You
Gotta say I play Ringo’s drums version of this song a lot. Such a simple beat but it kicks ass.
8:42 - George and Johns rhythm guitars in unison. Very bog standard but effective!
Boy is it ever effective. Bog standard plus magic = Beatles music..

@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 Excellent take 👍👍👍

That's my favorite part of this song.
🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Truly glad Nicky was in the plastic ono band for as long as he did. His piano and Eletric piano parts are awesome in imagine
During the solo it's as if his right and left hand are playing two different songs simultaneously.

Ringos drumbeat is almost like an early version of gated reverb! Definitely a precursor to The Sweet or Glitter band drums
And that omnipresent Gary Glitter song

Sensacional!!!
Would you be able to do this for ‘Get Back’? Especially for the guitars. Because I’ve heard both guitars isolated but only in mono.

I know the only evidence is the music video, but didn't he play his 1961 Hofner "Cavern" Bass?
Anyone know who the keyboardist was on this? It's not George
check the pinned comment :))
I could never truly hear McCartney's Bass on this song!
Was this recorded in A and sped up?
Yes. In the promotional film, where they sing over the instrumental track, you can see that they are playing in A: th-cam.com/video/BGLGzRXY5Bw/w-d-xo.html

About the ending...horns or guitars? I could never tell.
The little bit of elec. piano at the end is in time, but the left hand on the middle part @12:00 is NOT. WTH happened there??
It's only John playing both guitars in this songs, Rhythm and Lead guitar. George did not participate.
It seems like this song is a half step up.. What does everyone think, am I right?
Yes, it was recorded in A and then sped up to Bb.
Bro these extractions are amazing! Where did you get this lol
Did you isolate them yourself or did you get them isolated
Is your source the LOVE DVD??? When the remixed it on Love they panned George and John left and right, but on the Blue album they still put John and George on the right channel.
Rumor has it that Paul played an organ on this recording

Is John's guitar 2 capos? ..
He does it with out the capo it seems but its centanly less taxing on your hands to play it with a capo on the second fret
It's sped up from the key of A to B on the single version. You can play it with a capo though.
