Can you guess the Beatles song from the keyboard part?

[@HeelBJC]

Next: "Can you guess the Beatles song from the tape hiss?"

[@grinsko6741]

Genius 😂

[@rome8180]

I was so proud of myself when I got "Something" and David didn't. The main reason I knew it is because I play the bass line all the time. And that walkup happens right before the best part of the bass line -- the fill right after the lyric "I don't want to leave her now."

[@rome8180]

Jon Smith's Voyages is dope, btw. Downloading it right now.

[@kennet7837]

I could hear the vocals ever so slightly bleeding through.

[@davidefilippi7294]

It was pretty obvious for me. Maybe I listened to that song way too many times

[@wulfiejack6762]

me too but only as been learning that song on Piano

[@dnb9913]

Same here hahahaha

[@ewest14]

Paul was a genius at adding piano, keyboard, mellotron, and other parts to lift up the others’ songs. I don’t think he gets enough credit for that Examples are A Day in the Life, Sexy Sadie, Strawberry Fields Forever, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Come Together, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Any Time At All (middle eight), etc

[@cynthiaforsythe8989]

I agree! Paul put so much into the others’ songs.

[@beatlerob62]

Completely agree, Paul's work on piano and keyboards on the others' songs was amazing

[@marques04rj]

David, this is what I read from wilipedia about In my Life: "At that time, Lennon had not decided what instrument to use, but he subsequently asked George Martin to play a piano solo, suggesting "something Baroque-sounding".[2] Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded with the tape running at half speed, so when played back at normal pace the piano was twice as fast and an octave higher, solving the performance challenge and also giving the solo a unique timbre, reminiscent of a harpsichord."

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

I had guessed that one correctly due to the Baroque sounding. I had already known that bit of trivia from being such an avid watcher of any Beatle related docs, and books.

[@ImjustaTree]

On song 9, you can still hear the lyric "something in the way, she" in the background, that gave it away

[@matrajao]

I was about to say the same

[@jonahansen]

You've got good ears. I could only catch it knowing what to look for.

[@lakrids-pibe]

And yet I didn't get it. Sadface.

[@nosy-cat]

Funny thing, I did hear the singing on the first listen, but couldn't make out the lyrics or melody. Then, when I realized which song it is, I could "hear" it clearly on the second listen.

[@rossdelain1645]

You can also hear the lyric "you say go go go" for Hello Goodbye. Another audible giveaway.

[@timbo0151]

Chord progression for Hey Jude also sounded like A Day In The Life to me. Really tough those. Love these videos.

[@белволрус]

For the first time i also thought it was a day in the life, but still it sounds different

[@procrastination2204]

I guessed Hey Jude but with very little confidence, and when David said For No One, I thought that sounded at least as believable and usually when that's the case, it means he's right and I'm wrong. But not this time I guess lol

[@GordonLF]

I would have lost the house betting it was For No One. Your day brakes, your mind aches......

[@espvp]

To me it sounded similar to Let It Be’s chord progression too though on a different key. Can anyone confirm or disprove that?

[@timbo0151]

@@espvp I think, particularly on piano, the progressions were very similar. On a different listen, I would have recognised Let it Be too.

[@Norfolk-scottD3234]

You need to do these more often!!😂

[@2011Cape]

He’s been doing quite a bit of them, no?

[@tyrannosauruszeppelin2205]

Haha, I also said For No One because of the chord progression. Apart from confusing You Won't See Me with I Want To Tell You (because of the dissonance in the chords), I got everything right. So 10/12.

[@nepesilva2284]

I got those mixed up, too lol but I still wasn’t sure because the piano’s timbre sounded more like a Rubber Soul track, I just couldn’t place it as You Won’t See Me lol

[@jeromesnail]

I made the same mistake for the same reason on You Won't See Me

[@jonashormann5700]

I also thought I Want To Tell You, because the piano on it's own tends to lean more into the groove of that song.

[@oravlaful]

same mistake as all of you

[@toronado455]

well done!

[@alicec1533]

This has been the hardest "guess the Beatles song" challenege for me yet.

[@badguitar5653]

How have I heard these songs 7 million times and I still flunk this test?

[@danielcerso]

You're not alone, bro.

[@martifingers]

Yes, 8/12 for me too. The Penny lane one was maybe the most difficult - according to some some sources there may be 4 or 5 piano overdubs on the track (including one by John!)

[@Kim_Ilia]

These videos have been very fun. Thanks for doing them!

[@zzzaphod8507]

6/12, the first half seemed easier than the second half! Great quiz, thanks

[@swhitehouse]

1 - no idea 2 - no idea 3 - IN MY LIFE 4 - COME TOGETHER 5 - DRIVE MY CAR - WRONG 6 - no idea 7 - GOLDEN SLUMBERS 8 - DRIVE MY CAR - RIGHT! 9 - SOMETHING 10 - no idea 11 - LET IT BE - UGH 12 - HELLO GOODBYE 6/12...tough one!

[@dhpbear2]

It's amazing hearing how may songs where The Boys *buried* the piano in the mix!

[@bettyswunghole3310]

7/12...some of these were pretty tricky...

[@mikaelzakrisson5514]

I had 10/12 right. I missed "You won't see me" and "Hey Jude". These quizzes are really great fun! 😊

[@Garro2]

Same here exactly

[@podchauffe]

Same story! Those two are tough nuts to crack

[@albertgranell7335]

Yeah same hahaha clearly the trickiest

[@Darth_Niki4]

Yeah, I never thought Hey Jude would be so hard to guess!

[@sendjamin]

Same heree

[@JayForeman]

10/12. 🍌

[@rom_krasko]

when new unfinished london?

[@WatchVidsMakeLists]

Bananar

[@mr.noride7226]

I could hear the vocals on Something which is part of what gave it away for me.

[@laeclorentzen6111]

You could do "Guess the beatles song from the cover version", and hear a few seconds of a cover. Or, "Guess the Beatles track from the studio chatter", where you just hear one or two word snippets from studio chatter included in the song.

[@bluedingo1186]

I only got 4 right, but I did better than I thought I would!

[@jeanmichel6255]

The Hey Jude one tricked me a lot! It's really the same progression as for no one😅 i think a way we could use to differ both is using the fact the "for no one" piano part is more stacatto than Hey Jude's one

[@Kosac07]

I never get tired of these, thank you for making them! :D

[@tillmanward8481]

Got six..and have listened to the Beatles ..forever..am 74..

[@graciasmiura8594]

bruv if you don't get 100% this time I swear 😤

😰

[@Pepe_Java]

I missed the first one🥲

Rip miura

[@phillcooper4865]

Narrator: "he did not in fact get 100% this time."

[@mr.dr.prof.patrick7284]

he will not

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

I got a qualified 12/12 -- Once David said #2 was a Moog, I knew it was Here Comes the Sun, but I hadn't got it until he said that.

[@chuckt4558]

Of all the quizzes this one stumped me the most

[@rwdestefano]

David, you did very well. The songs were difficult. I enjoyed Jon Smith as well.

[@DavidBennettPiano]

Thank you!

[@matsetizar65]

I randomly guessed each one and naturally got a goose egg.

[@andrewlowden322]

LOVE these, not sure which I like more: doing these alongside you or hearing you say "BEE-TOWCE" as the name of the band

[@lakrids-pibe]

Yay! Beatles quiz! I really enjoy it when your sponsors are new unknown (to me) musicians

[@omaid482]

12/12 My love for Rubber Soul really helped in this video. I’ve been getting better at these as they come. I hope we get a second version of each instrument cause these are so fun

[@lukit.4662]

I'm confused cos Song 10 totally fits to "I Want To Tell You"

[@jenb8009]

I love these quizzes!!!! Keep them coming!!! I LOVE The Beatles.

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

I only got 4 of them, but I'm proud of myself for guessing #3 correctly considering what David said about it.

[@BLONDED17359]

love this content, you should expand it to other bands and artists!

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

Honestly I am interested to see what other music he likes.

[@ZacLavender]

Got all but 2 ("Something" and Hey Jude") "You Won't See Me," good guess on the Diminished chord being linked to George. I knew it wasn't "For No One" on "Hey Jude" when I tried to sing the melody over it, but had no idea what it was going to be. Great quiz!

[@dennyallman5399]

I knew one you didn’t, but you knew a couple I didn’t! I love these videos that test my devotion to the Beatles!

[@TarikA]

Same here :)

[@pocopico7409]

Really enjoy these. Thanks! 😊

[@billybud9557]

Wow..............2/12 ...............hard test here.............great fun for a guitar player like me.

[@mucy2807]

Old bloke getting into keyboards and I love your channel - a young guy who likes great music…who’d have thunk it 👍🏻😀 love the quizzes and chord progression videos 😊

[@dougllewellyn4620]

Good one! 9/12 for me. I got "The Word" from the guitar part. Lol. Got "Hey Jude" because it's my fave Beatles song, and about the only song I can play on the piano.

[@tylerhelt755]

1:00 Woah Moog Synthesizer isolated is beautiful

[@scottmatznick3140]

5:43 IDK, but it's Something Lol

[@Fuzcapp]

I don't recognise it but i think your mother should know ...

[@davidluke7996]

That's the best I've done on one of these quizzes yet -- 7/12.

[@BobAndGlueSticks]

10/12 Very much enjoyed it!

[@tylerhackner9731]

I love these

[@danieljosephbestguy5990]

The interesting thing about the "Come Together" isolated electric piano part you played in its sample, it's actually just the way it sounds alone on the original record wtihout the other instruments surrounding it but it plays right after the guitar solo (instrumental) break and before the third verse so it probably might be hard to remember for those who haven't heard the song so many times because of its point in the song near the end but not quite the end.

[@danielimagui23]

I love these guessing videos, I literally pretend I'm with David trying to guess with him. I would love to see this type of video with Radiohead songs

[@kristinzeiber23]

Wow, Jon Smith's Voyages! 😮 Jon and his family happen to be very close friends of mine!! Not only is he super talented, he is also a genuine, incredible person. I hope he gains a ton more followers from this exposure. PS - despite being a HUGE Beatles fan, my score on this was abysmal.

[@peterb846]

This is amazing, thanks. We all know Ringo on drums, John and George on guitars and Paul on drums, but they, under George Martin's guidance incorporated keyboards all over their catalogue. Lady Madonna, Let it Be, You Never Give Me Your Money, The Long and Winding Road, intros to songs like Ob La Di, While My Guitar Gently Weeps ,Lovely Rita and others. Plus the horns and woodwinds in songs like Got to Get You Into My Life, All You Need is Love, Strawberry Fields Forever, When I'm 64, the strings in Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home and Good Night, and George's sitar and other Eastern instruments in Love You To, Within You and Without You and Norwegian Wood all help to define an original and unmatched sound that will last as long as we listen to music. The Beatles stand alone at the top and there is no one like them.

[@babylonian.captivity]

Man, this one was hard. I only got five. (1, 3, 4, 5, and 8). And I probably wouldn't have gotten #5 without John's iconic rhythm, which was the giveaway.

[@UnshavenStatue]

This is the hardest one yet, imo, since the piano is less foreground than the other instruments, typically. And for 11, I too thought "For No One", so you're in decent company lol

[@justintroyka8855]

This was a really fun one! It sounds like isolating the piano track didn't go so well for some of these though :( like "The Word" you could clearly still hear the guitar, which I think helped me get it. And "Penny Lane" and one or two others sounded so processed and garbled that the original timbre of the piano part didn't come through.

[@danielp157]

You can often clearly hear the voice/ singing "blead over" in to the instrumental, like in "something" , so you dont even have to guess. The answer is right there. Strange that David doesn't hear that? He's got head phones and everything.

[@Serenity_descendantsfan]

I watch these beatles guess the song challenges a lot, to see if i could improve my score!, i love watching these videos!, Nice Vid! 😃

[@julianaylor4351]

I've always wondered what that In My Life, George Martin solo originally sounded like. Thank you. ❤

[@AstrosElectronicsLab]

I got "Hey Jude" and "Something". Something, you can hear some of the vocals which gives it away. With Hey Jude, I've heard the isolated piano before.

[@Kossman58]

I got them all but Hey Jude got me scratching my head for a minute

[@chuckz2934]

I missed a bunch but got Hey Jude! I love these videos 🙏🏼

[@Luke-1296]

Please do second parts for every instrument!

[@joannryan5929]

The first sounded just like the beginning of their "You Like Me Too Much" song!

[@dukeofcurls3183]

somehow got all of them except You Won't See Me (which I thought was I Want to Tell You, even though i knew it was too slow to be that, I just couldn't think of anything else), Hey Jude was tricky as well because I didn't recognize that progression as being part of the song but the pacing and rhythms sounded like it so I did choose it as my most likely contender and it ended up being right

[@Poetslove]

This was fun David! I would have bet the farm on no-11being 'For no one".

[@btimec5290]

Excellent!

[@charlescole645]

Exactly the same songs as you got right and wrong. Feeling proud of myself for not being terrible like in previous quizes.

[@badgasaurus4211]

I got all of them except You Won’t See Me. Quite pleased with this one. 11/12

[@mustuploadtoo7543]

I have an idea for this series! You should do one where you guess the beatle song by reversing it first (with a tool like audacity). You could even include a question which uses george's reversed solo in im only sleeping being reversed again 😉

[@annamariaisland1960]

DIdn't he already do this a while back?

[@goldtown6747]

8 out of 12. I missed 6, 9, 10 and 12. The organ bit in "Something" is quite a pleasant surprise.

[@JesseCubNYC]

10/12! First one of these I did well on!

[@raindrops21_9]

This is going to drive me nuts now. That little slice of Hey Jude with that chord progression sounds so much like a song that John was messing around with after the Beatles - was it part of Real Love? Grrr. It was from one of those home audio tapes he did.

[@JohnK75136]

I was pretty confident the penultimate song was “For No One”, too.

[@brenthooton3412]

I found this one to be an easier one, maybe because they didn't use keyboard as often. And I nearly got them all... BUT I was entirely flummoxed by You Won't See Me.

[@jwelsje]

I heard Somthing and Hey Jude right away, because I've played this song for years in bars and clubs.

[@Heene1028]

Missed 5 of them but proud I knew “Something “

[@JamsODonnell100]

Really interesting to hear the keyboard in (for the most part) isolation. Cool 😎

[@michaelkimsal788]

11/12. nice run of quizzes. thanks!

[@TimeMeddler]

I got 4/12, which believe me is good for me. I was very pleased to get Hey Jude though! When I heard it I thought the rhythm sounded like Hey Jude, but when you said the two songs you thought it might be I thought “Ah, OK, close but no cigar”. So it was great to find out that it was Hey Jude after all. These quizzes are great fun, even if I don’t get many of them right. 👍

[@necromanzer52]

For some reason, I found this much harder than the other ones. I guess the piano tends to fade into the background. I only got Drive My Car and In My Life. (I also got Golden Slumbers, but only because you put the Abbey Road medley in my mind)

[@davidjohnson1654]

That last song clip you play by Jon Smith's Voyages made me think so much of Jethro Tull! :)

[@drs-xj3pb]

Yes. To me it's all more early 70s than late 60s.

[@sendjamin]

10/12 here, hope theres another video in this series so i can finally get that 💯

[@lp-xl9ld]

I only got 5, but of the ones I missed, I missed all of the ones you did (and a couple I was WAY off on)

[@mariahamilton5305]

Feels odd now that I knew a lot of these originally as just pop songs like all the other pop songs (Early GenX here, my stepDad bought a Rubber Soul cassette in the early-mid 70s). My stepMum actually saw the Beatles with her big sister. And now they're THE BEATLES.

[@tomvanderhulst9720]

8/12 Exactly the same songs you got. I guess those simply were the harder ones to recognise.

[@nathan43082]

I missed "You Won't See Me" but got all the others. I was sure it was "I Want to Tell You" from Revolver.

[@samjordan3766]

I missed 4. The interesting thing is that more than any other of these quizzes, I was either really sure of my answer, or I have no idea at all.

[@John_Fugazzi]

For me this was by far the easiest, as I did poorly on most of the others.8 of 12, the first time more than half.

[@WinstonWolfe21]

He has the answers in front of him for all we know

[@dannypittstoller7777]

You did better than I did, but I was proud that I got “Something”! Also, I made the same wrong guess as you on “Hey Jude” (we both thought it was “For No One”).

[@jeaenn]

I was so confident that song #1 was You Like Me Too Much!

[@misterschubert3242]

Gotta admit, I was fooled by Hey Jude. I thought it was For No One, too. And I thought You Won't See Me was I Want to Tell You.

[@davidmennomoyer]

I believe I got 8/12 as well. I was pretty stunned that I didn't get "Penny Lane", given that I play it all the time - someone mentioned that the original track has like 4 or 5 piano tracks, so I guess I'm used to playing one of the other ones.

[@DJcool-tr1tk]

11/12 I got all these quizzes in the bag. They’re WAY too easy.

[@kaya_yt]

4:25 I was so confident this would be 'Imagine' 😂

[@johnaukermusic]

Song 10 was fiendish- I got it mixed up with a George song in the same key from the Revolver album. DANG!

[@robertelessar]

Wow, I missed HALF of them!!! I'm ashamed, and yet willing to share. Odd.

[@jcarty123]

_Something_ is given away by the trace of George's vocal. _You Wont See Me_ is tough because actual middle 8 chords are Bm-Dm-Ddim, BUT, brain wants to remember them as more like Bm-D-Dm. _Hey Jude_ is a bit tough because brain remember it as hugely in F key, yet that tiny extracted section is Bb key.

[@matthewbartlett3442]

I don’t think David has gotten “Something” a single time it’s come up

[@DavidBennettPiano]

😂😅

[@NessieJapan]

Easier than the drum quiz and the bass quiz.

[@tzoreehandler9163]

I thought Something was Because or Sun King, so at least I was right about the album... I never noticed there was any keyboard on Something.
