George solo, wow ❤🤘🇮🇹

[@marlonennes1206]

Ringo absolutely nailed it on this one. On the drums, on the voice and on the composition. Really lovely and creative lyrics. George also contributes a lot, so do Paul and John. Octopus's garden doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

[@StevenColeman-g5u]

He nails it on everything he ever did,all these idiots that say anything about his playing no nothing about playing music,if the best and most technical drummer in the world played drums on the Beatles songs they wouldn't sound anything like Ringo , Ringo is the ONLY drummer that could make those songs MAGICAL, that's why he is one of the best drummers in the World he invented Rock drumming ,that's why most top drummers in the World LOVE Ringo Like Jim Keltner Bonham and so many more , nobody sounds like him the amount of drummers that CAN'T play Help or especially act naturally , they just can't do it ,if you watch Ringo play act naturally live he makes it look like the easiest drumming , but to play what he's playing is very difficult even for the the best drummers all drummers should practice it to see if they could even get close to his FLUENCY in that song lots of bands test their drummers with that exact song especially the drummers who think they have supper chops they all fall.LOL 💜💛💚🤍🧡❤️💜✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🌞🌜🌟🌎🌸🌼🌴🌳☺️

George's guitar parts are the bomb on this!

[@Marlenefanclubsimone]

❤

[@alessandroromanello2055]

Agreed. Simply a wonderful solo, played by a great guitarist.

[@tinlinmusic]

One of his best solos!

[@IsaacWale2004]

Seriously, the structure of this song is genius.

[@inserthahafunniusername9656]

John's rhythm guitar here is so good

[@captainroast5889]

This will always forever be one of the best Beatles song for me.

[@6Walter7]

A great surf- country song of Ringo. Yeahhhh.

[@MooEinstein]

7:12 this E7 chord really helps get into the guitar solo of George

[@avidormar9246]

מו איינשטיין תחזור כבר לעשות ערוצים מבודדים של מוזיקה ישראלית, הסרטונים שלך היו אשכרה כל כך טובים

[@televinv8062]

Ringo's drumming....smashes it out of the park 👍

[@kele5181]

This song is very well organized and structured. The vocal harmonies do it so much justice- especially the vocals during the solo - wow

[@davidmcauliffe8692]

On some of the harmonies, I think it's John but it's really George. Probably similar range but George's voice is warmer and smoother. It's essentially a country song at the core, except with British voices.

[@ordjk4797]

I can definitely hear the country part you mentioned

[@marlonennes1206]

i kinda hear john's voice too, although i know he doesn't sing on this one.

[@chathammkm]

Yes, and perfect for Ringo!

[@seid3366]

finally! The rhythm guitar is separate from the lead!!

[@markgroesbeck2717]

First thing I noticed too was the separation of lead & rhythm guitar(s). I’m guessing each was on a separate track rather than bounced down to one track to create more room on a smaller multitrack. Question: what app r u using to desperate instruments? I have a subscription to Moises which crudely separates instruments- not like this. Thanks!

[@JakeEllison-rs3dp]

@@markgroesbeck2717 When they recorded Abbey Road they used a 8-track tape machine, so you could have 8 tracks. They were able to record the rhythm and lead on separate tracks. And on how to get them, you can try to see if they were panned differently and then isolate the guitar from that with Moises, or grab them from The Beatles: Rockband multitracks, which is what this video uses.

[@CbriaRules1]

Piano section is perfect

[@andrewbyrdful]

Agreed. It’s a lot more extensive than I had realized.

[@NilsHedstrom]

I will always stand by my opinion, this is one of the best Beatles songs!!!

[@MyMaria43]

love the george and paul at the same mic pictures

[@nates.9744]

John’s rhythm guitar absolutely makes the song. Nice to see him willingly be a part of this one even if it’s his only contribution to this track.

[@norguz7777]

Excellent rhythm guitar player. Listen to isolated acoustic on Nowhere Man

[@inserthahafunniusername9656]

​@norguz7777 his guitar here and there sound so fun to play. It's a shame when I see isolated tracks of beatles songs John's guitar is rarely separated from George's so I can't fully appreciate it to the fullest

[@PolishShake-w1v]

I'm pretty sure it's George. I don't think that lennon was able to do finger picking

[@nates.9744]

@@PolishShake-w1v The basic track was recorded with John and George on guitars. George is doing his licks live while John is laying down the finger picked part.

[@PolishShake-w1v]

@nates.9744 im pro guitarist and I can clearly hear george here. Ive seen videos of John playing his guitar and he really wasn't THAT GOOD. He was sick musician but George did all guitar in this,

[@Hendrix-b1e]

あんまり言われないけどポールの歌うベースライン良きなんだよなぁ、ジョージのソロもロックギターのお手本のような内容で素晴らしき

[@rockybru-r2l]

George Harrison was an absolute genius. My favorite guitar player

[@ronniechilds2002]

Me too, but I think Lennon's background playing here is the bomb.

[@richwilde6550]

Fantastic drum track.

[@AudioDendron]

You can distantly hear unused guitar bits in the drum track. 0:19 1:00 1:11

[@andrewbyrdful]

The instrumentation really is haunting, especially those left hand piano notes. Bravo.

[@talrasha1985]

10:57 is the best part!

[@jeremyvanengen3341]

I needed this video! I've been trying to recreate this song on my DAW, and the little details are infuriating! This cleared up like 6 things for me! Totally subscribing! Thanks again!

[@pablobritomusic]

The first seconds of the snare are perfect to sample

[@tomohiromoriya2661]

great ringo!

[@NormanPeterson]

I think that IS John the Leslie rhythm guitar. Much like his finger picking on Dear Prudence. Piano is miced through the leslie also I tthink..

[@MooEinstein]

3:53-3:58 Indian influence with the Rick

[@davidboucher6450]

I'm always impressed how much compression they put on everything but specially on drum and bass and yet, the overall mix remains very punchy and dynamic. It seems that they passed everything through a very beautifully sounding limiter. I never noticed how out of tune the piano is but it fits right in.

[@redchandler]

Very cool tracks!

[@WePlayTheBeatles]

There’s something wrong. At 0.57 the lyrics do not change. Ringo is supposed to sing “we would be one” instead sings “I’d like to be”…

[@Nandocarass]

Everything is written about The Beatles... But the fact is only one ... There will be no other band like this.

[@589aeo]

Can you deconstruct I Can't Get No satisfaction by the stones?

[@HJsCorn909]

I'll try too. That one could be tricky because it was in mono but I'll see what I can do. If I can't do the 65 version, I'll probably do the Ya-Ya's version (which I think is better than the OG version)

[@JesusVazquez-jz2qm]

The drum pattern in that song is so intrincated.

[@AudioDendron]

What program did you use for your isolations?

I'm not 100% but possibly

[@debomb721]

@@HJsCorn909 did bass use compression on its Paul?

[@debomb721]

@@HJsCorn909 his attack kinda reminds me of bass for Motown and stax, but not as heavy. I’ve always tried to figure out Paul’s bouncy Beatles Rick tone, but even him playing a rick live doesn’t sound bouncy like this, so I’m wondering if his sound was aided by compression
