@@StratsRUs Facts. I feel like the Beatles are that one band with the most amount of intuitive 'feel' for music in general: from their tendency to experiment with different styles and flavours of music, to them incorporating non-conventional techniques of recording and producing music, everything rings in with this idea of them having a 'feel' for all of these concepts of Musical jargon without actually knowing a thing about them.

He was very good for a short period of time but no where near L & M. What songs of his would have been hits if he were not a Beatle/ex-Beatle? Few and same for Ringo. Not to take away from the really good songs he did do, but because they were Beatles/ex-Beatles they were given more credit than a lesser known artist would have if they did the same songs.

@Roy Tranter You know the obsession with the Beatles, and the music theory behind their songs is amazing, but to tell you the truth, any good musical composer uses or has used those same tools and then some, and the Beatles are not unique in that regard; so any attempt to elevate them to some kind of godly status of being different than everybody else in their songwriting prowess is just not exactly true. They just happened to capture the most popularity for various reasons, another big topic of discussion. Just because one artist is less prolific than another doesn’t necessarily diminish their intellect, just their creative output.

I think the most brilliant part of George’s songwriting is how he can make the tense sound beautiful and vice versa. In WMGGW when he changes key from A minor to A major, it somehow sounds even more depressing even though Major is the “happy” key and minor is the “sad” key. And in Here comes the sun where plays the Dominant chord right before the lyrics, it’s such a happy sounding chord even though the tritone in a dominant chord should make it sound tense and uncomfortable.

I agree. Interestingly the similarity between Something and While my Guitar Gently Weeps may explain me confusing the two songs in David's riddle of guess those 15 Beatles songs with samples of 2 seconds or less. One was Something and I knew it was a Harrison song but picked the wrong one. That other video was quite interesting in that the formal training of David showed how it helped him identify the songs (he's say here's an acoustic guitar, here's a synth, here's a signature drum flare and then that would help him narrow the selection of songs whereas I'd just go globally with guts, no analysis whatsoever).

David - please do "You Never Give Me Your Money"! The key & mode changes are amazing. Overall motion is Am - C - A, but with many odd departures. It's a microcosm & setup for the Side 2 Medley (The Long One) whose motion is similar. With "The End," the medley seems to have resolved to a bluesy-mixolydian A - but then it gives a final, "surprise" resolution to C. Well worth analyzing!

The medley from Abbey Road (same album as Something) also has a TON of similar modulations between C major, A minor, and A major. You Never Give Me Your Money - A minor (intro) - C major (out of college...) - C mixolydian (oh that magic feeling...) - A major (one sweet dream...) She Came In Through The Bathroom Window - A major - C major (very brief modulation in the chorus) Golden Slumbers - A minor (verse) - C major (chorus) Carry That Weight - C major - A minor (YNGMYM bridge) - C major The End - A major - C major (equal to the love...) Makes me wonder if they talked about this sort of thing on the album. These ones were all Paul songs, and he seemed to use it just like George did: modulating to A major to increase the energy and then back to C major / A minor to bring it back down (C for a peaceful feeling, A minor for a sadder one).

That is fascinating. I guess it contributes to the whole album sounding a little like a unified song cycle. HCTS is also in A - while John's big contributions, CT and IWY, are rooted on D modal - which is at least closely related to A. Octopus's Garden deviates to E but there again, that's going the other way from an A i.e a 4th down not a 4th up to the D songs. What would clash is a departure to Eb, Ab or Bb. But there isn't one. By all this logic the 'furthest out' one is Because which is based around C#m like its Beethoven inspiration.

As someone who earnestly strove after the spiritual for so much of his life, it seems to me George often also went after such spiritually uplifting musical devices. I guess that's a natural connection. Less about purely how it sounds than how that sound makes me feel. Quite an interesting approach to music-making - and certainly part of the relentless experimentation that was such a unique hallmark of the Beatles' ouvre.

As a songwriter from ear and taught myself guitar by watching... this explanation is in a language that I inherently understand but I don't read or write notation, yet everything makes perfect sense.

Interesting and inspiring . It is very interesting when modulations that take some explanation actually allow the song to proceed very naturally and smoothly . George , not to diminish him at all , was most likely simply trying things and allowing his ear to confirm it . I think the Beatles who worked in a different era from this one actually gave themselves the time required to be musically creative . In addition , for all the talk about the conflicts , they collaborated quite wonderfully . Funny , I always thought there was something a little different right away in the opening line of this song .

That was awesome that you could use musiversal to create those covers of Harrison's songs. Growing up listening to the Beatles, I never realized that I loved George Harrison's songs the best. Not sure what that means.

Elliott Smith was a genuine fan of George Harrison(his Beatles/GeoBeatles/Solo covers are numerous, and one of the things he talked about regarding the more intimate "Whats he really interested in as a musician sonically speaking" musical pov. ..but anyway, Elliott would talk about how deeply fascinated by the nature of the chords as they changed from this into that,etc.. Looking at his choosing something like "Isn't it a Pity?" & how beautiful his essentially full-track length transitional chord sequence-- the dynamics take over & you begin to recognize where the artist found his magical places in the art they were making.. Lolol, i guess the mark of the truly gifted and memorable is their ability to have an Artistic Quirk where ppl who were listening closely knew the sounds--they could see it coming & the music retained the voice of GH but still sounding fresh & unique as art.. Anyway..🥴🤪

Dear David, I think you and Rick Beato is fighting the same game of blocking and demonotizing. You both are teaching music... hope in the future you will be able to play the original track without being harassed by 60's and 70's composer. Great video! I have learned a lot from you in musical theory. Suddenly I understand things that no one told me before. Thanks!
These songs have different chords... let's swap them!
