Paul McCartney - Twenty Flight Rock

[@avalynne-marie8512]

Right

[@brvckbo3372]

you know you're a genius when you can play a right handed guitar upside down and left handed

[@Emma-fq9pv]

Brvckbo At 15

[@sunsetsamara3866]

I can play it like that

[@jamiewells22]

Brvckbo I’ve been a genius since 11

[@lukelyons7255]

Garlic Fantasy No. Cotton picking is a style where a bass rhythm is kept by hitting the bass strings with the fingers and where the treble melody is played with the thumb. Flipping the guitar upside down doesn't just make it cotton picking.

[@arniewince7133]

First of all, it's easy if that's the way you start playing right from the beginning. Secondly, Paul didn't play upside down.. He wast just a left-handed guitarist. The strings were correct. Hendrix on the other hand could do what you say.

"There's a solo here, but I won't attempt it" That comment practically described me trying to play this song on the guitar. 😂

Rock N RollLover2002 "🎶and these is the bit where I don't know the words and I won't attempt to learn them before the end of the tour🎶" -Paul McCartney

[@85geoffm]

@@mscoraline1998 I love that quote lol

[@darrenkellman5780]

I love it when Paul does an Eddie song

[@charlie-obrien]

Exactly. I also love that in 1975 John Lennon released the album "Rock and Roll", where he covered great songs that inspired him such as; "Stand by Me", "Be Bop a Lula", "Sweet little Sixteen" and "Peggy Sue". When the greats go back to what inspired them it's a fantastic revelation.

[@deanchambers8613]

The great Sir Paul McCartney covering the supremely underrated Mr Eddie Cochran! Got to love it!!!!!

[@bsvenss2]

Underrated? No way! He's in both _Rock and Roll Hall of Fame_ and _Rockabilly Hall of Fame_ , and he was only 21 years old when he tragically died in the accident.

[@evelioherrera2027]

We all owe Ivan Vaugh a big "THANK YOU"

[@ravenel2]

And the unknown church ladies who organized the fete. No one thinks of them!

[@JimMorrisonsWidow]

He is FANTASTIC : ) I know it sounds like a cliche for all the very passionate 'Beatles fans out there like myself who can relate to this, but it is sooo true : ) Even although Paul, like all the other musical geniuses are much better suited to doing their own songs and flourishing in their own unique style, I really do love Paul singing the older songs. And he was always sooo inspiring, especially for guitar playing. The Beatles - my first love in music and I will love them forever : )

[@crystalemeralddiamond9571]

Me too 👍

[@Hifimessi-DarthPeter]

Das hätte man kaum schöner formulieren können , Danke dafür

[@Jaciboo]

My great grandmother wrote this song

[@MusicMan922]

Did Eddie write any of it, or did he just get co-songwriting credit?

[@mickavellian]

Your greatgrandma was one cool COOL "chick" and part of world history bro! I think that's the best pure R&R ever written (bar none) and Paul plays & sings the sweet Jesus outta it. Another little known fact was that Rod Stewart was singing 20 Flight Rock on a train station when Long John Baldry heard him (after a Long John Baldry gig) and told him to come the following week to jam with them . The rest is history.

[@Jaciboo]

Yes, My great Grandma is Nelda Fairchild haha! Since then she's been married twice, (Farnsworth and now Bingo) She's my Grandpa Jack's mother, (www.meaningfulfunerals.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=1216569&fh_id=10429) to prove its true, my full name is Jacinda, since most people Don't believe me! I don't know much about her, other than she has horrible alzheimer's and it's hard for her to even remember who she is, so sadly I will never get to hear her play this song again :(

[@mickavellian]

how them royalties coming along ?

[@Jaciboo]

My dad and aunt get 1/4 of the royalties now since she passed, and my grandpa passed so now it goes to his kids. Not much there though, as far as I know.

[@tomhull1276]

I think this fella just may have a future in the music business...

[@JulianLennon1]

.."yeah that's what got me into The Beatles" How can you not love that?! Favour this video very much. Nicely done!

[@loyaldude10]

Got him into the Quarryman

[@colinsvid]

We love Paul such a genuine heart

[@alanchrisman5104]

Paul tells how he first met John with his teenage skiffle band,The Quarrymen, on that fateful day, July 6, 1957, at Church social in Liverpool. And Paul plays 20 flight rock and how he impressed John because he knew the chords( John only knew banjo chords his mother had taught him). The very beginnings of The Beatles!

[@justme-uc8pp]

I love when Paul plays 20 Flight Rock. Playing 🎸 with his left hand. He really has a cool swagger playing this song. I think he & George Harrison had to show. John Lennon the guitar cords. They were all so young.

[@jonfalco]

Imagine getting to see Paul McCartney perform an Eddie Cochran song live. Amazing.

[@NothingSpecialVideo]

Paul's version is my favorite. I just love the subtle swing it has to it. You don't get that in the other versions of this song that I know of.

[@adrianbiber5340]

Eddie's original rocks

[@Punttipate62]

The Rolling Stones version is the best

[@mscoraline1998]

Paul and John certainly met by *fete* :D you can kick my ass for this pun, it was worth it.

[@roxasrocks17]

[@tefenstrat]

I think its so cool that he mentioned an old friend by name from all those years ago. Makes me think Paul is just a good guy. Down to earth :-)

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

I wonder if Paul has ever watched Nowhere Boy...?

[@Jobobyman]

+Meghan Robertshaw Yes he watch it and really enjoy it, the only part he didn't like was when John punch Paul because it never happen

[@dancingcheeseproductions4127]

He said he liked it, but thought it was a little bit too exaggerated.

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

Oh, okay that's good :)

[@abbeyhoward8316]

he liked it but he didn't like how they portrayed aunt mimi

[@dabreu]

@@Jobobyman In fact, he didn't like it at first. I saw his interview on where he said he even complained abvout it to the director. Sam Taylor Wood. Lots of things that never happened. He didn't like the way they described Mimi at all. She was never that bad. But Sam told him it was not supposed to the truth, It was only entertainment, not a documentary. So he kind of accepted it. I didn't. I disliked that movie very much. I don't feel entertained watching lies.

[@lindagrant9063]

Love this. pure class, Paul is a living legend..

[@arjunkaul]

Love Eddie Cochran and this song!

[@addysoncurtis823]

My school nurse told me about this, God bless her!!

[@marcmoribella2177]

This is so cool. Nice homage to Eddie, one of Rock-n-roll's greatest.

[@ctafrance]

I am not a fan of Paul McCartney, but he is too modest about how well he plays this song. He really captures the rhythm but also, very particularly, Cochrane's unique way of pursing the words. Most people could not do that without overdoing. Paul gets the languaging down very much in Conchrane's style, very naturally, without exaggeration, as if of course that is how these words are sung---but it wasn't how anybody else could really sing, except maybe a couple of the best early rockers from the U.S. Impressive. It could not have been, as Paul says, that John was just impressed that Paul knew all the words. It must have been that John was really impressed with Paul knowing the precise style in which to deliver and sing the words. Even decades later Paul's way of doing so is SUPERB.

[@wowwowwow185]

Eddie died to young tragic loss he was amazing

[@highpointdad2006]

Teenage John was the standout talent of his little skiffle group, with dreams of being famous and making it big. The immensely talented young teen Paul McCartney chops out and sings 20 flight Rock for John., Hell Yes you’re in the band now Paul ! 😆.., his confidence and star quality must’ve been massively apparent., just what you were looking for John ! It’s incredible to me that two of the most significant talents of modern music, of our entire planet , grew up in the same town, and met each other. My father was born in 1916, but over time grew to appreciate what they’d done, he was quite a Beatles fan in his later years. Them being from the same town ., my dad said it must’ve been written in the stars.

the man is amazing watch him play upside down

[@GaurdedGizmachi]

Nobody starts by making original music. Everyone has to be inspired by something or someone, so its nice to hear Paul play something that obviously inspired him as a young lad. It shows character, shows that they're real people. Who ever posted that he was a copy cat is a moron. Half of the "Please Please Me" album is nothing but The Beatles covering some of their favorite songs.

[@imannonymous7707]

I once saw an article that said left handed guitarists are quite unique. The left side , i believe they said is the side of the brain is the side that keeps rythym , and therefore gives a leg up to left hand strumming and picking . Drummers too.. Alot of great songwriters are left handed. Paul, kurt cobain, just to name a couple, im sure yall could add to the list

Eddie Cochran was an Elvis imitator, so it is amusing that Paul got into the Beatles by impressing John that he, Paul, could well imitate Eddie Cochran doing an imitation of John's hero, Elvis.

Ooh, well I got a girl with a record machine When it comes to rockin' she's the queen We love to dance on a Saturday night All alone where I can hold her tight But she lives on the twentieth floor uptown The elevator's broken down So I'll walk one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag Fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock When she calls me up on the telephone Say, come on over honey, I'm all alone I said, baby you're mighty sweet But I'm in bed with the achin' feet This went on for a couple of days But I couldn't stay away So I'll walk one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag Fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs Till it's a-fixed I'm a-usin' the stairs Hope they hurry up before it's too late Want my baby too much to wait All this climbin' is a-gettin' me down They'll find my corpse draped over a rail But I'll climb one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag Fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock Traduci in italiano

[@saphobarrau4500]

it's not Thomas who sing in Nowhere boy actually he only plays guitar and lip sync to one of the other actors from the movie.. I think if I can remember it's the dude who plays george but I'm not quite sure.. yup, sorry to announce that like that :/

[@hermionegranger0]

They say it’s Aaron Johnson, the guy who plays John Lennon. But, I honestly think he was singing though. When he sings in Nowhere Boy, he looks like his singing like from his throat part, it’s what it looks like when you’re singing or just talking. There are also some interviews that it was Thomas who was singing, not lip-synced.

[@kingshearer2]

What a top bloke is wor Paul. Wish He would give me a lesson on how to play this song. Don't worry about the solo though Paul I'm not in any hurry to the learn that yet. If you can just teach me the little fiddly finger bit I'll be happy.

Eddie, the king of everything

[@jonahtran1]

@jt123egypte You do realize he even gave credit to Eddie by saying "This is an Eddie Cochran song." Paul has done more for this world in three minutes than you could do in your lifetime. He's been knighted. He's considered one of the most influential musicians in history. Who are you to judge him? Unless I suppose you've done everything and more that Paul McCartney has done for this world.

[@gearantonio]

Has anyone figured out the strumming of the chorus?
