Deconstructing The Beatles - Doctor Robert (Isolated Tracks)

[@hw343434]

John’s rhythm guitar is wicked. Blend that with George’s arpeggios and that’s the guitar magic of The Beatles

[@dewanevl]

So fat and so mean. He lays more rhythm on this song than the bassist does.

[@karaamundson3964]

💯 💶. Ringo said that John was the best rhythm guitarist he ever heard...and he dug the hell outta George too. Speaking of Ringo--Lord help me, those DRUMS

Macca drinking his tea as he prepares to churn out another iconic bassline , what a man

[@hw343434]

Lennon always inspired Macca. His best bass lines are always on Lennon’s compositions

[@robiandolo]

And in this pic he’s playing his Epiphone Casino! So maybe he was about to put it down and pick up the bass!

[@sanmiguelcopiassrl7974]

a dead one

[@ericleon6482]

This pic is probably for the Taxman session, notice he's holding his Epi Casino and not his Hofner or Rickenbacker bass

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

@@ericleon6482 yes indeed , bassline on DR ROBERT has always been one of my absolute fav Beatles Basslines Macca was ahead of his time the bassline is Iconic! its crazy

[@hw343434]

George’s serpentine electric Guitar fills are magic

[@karaamundson3964]

Absolutely. Top tier.

[@karaamundson3964]

George & John playing together are absolutely beyond terrific.

[@erictrafalgar5021]

It was the first time I noticed George's complicated way of playing the guitar. It's an Indian-style arpeggio. George, great job! Thank you.

[@karaamundson3964]

💯 💶. Love his musical mind

At 16:42, the harmony bit fascinates me, because if I’m not mistaken, at least for a moment John’s part seems to be higher than Paul’s. This wasn’t exactly unheard of in their music together, think Tell Me Why or Come Together, but it still fascinates me anytime there is that change like that. First of all because it keeps things different, but also because in vocal harmony, it’s pretty common to have the thicker/naturally lower/harsher ranges take the lower harmony parts, just to blend more naturally I guess. Whenever there is a change where a lower or typically beefier speaking/singing voice takes the higher part and a typically higher, less usually weighted more “pure” voice takes the lower part, it’s quite an interesting sound. This isn’t to say I know what each of their ranges/classifications would be, but I’m assuming they organized their harmonies mostly the same order (Paul highest, then John, then George) for a reason. To have that little deviation every Now and Then, even though they could have gotten away with doing the same thing all the time, just further shows you how special they were at making music, and in general. It’s such a treat to be able to hear the elements of their work in isolation like this! Thank you! In particular, the organ part paired with the vocal harmony, but also specifically that it occurs when the drums take a rest/aren’t being played is what makes the song for me. It’s such a magical moment, and you hear it stand out from the rest of an already great track on an amazing album.

[@televinv8062]

In Hey Jude, last verse, Lennon does the lower harmony but then, jumps to the higher harmony on the words, "..then you'll begin, to make it.." In Nowhere Man, Lennon sings the main melody, George does the lower (lowest) harmony. Lots of examples where they 'mixed' up who did what. 👍

[@AB-mt9nf]

Lennon had a truly unique voice.

[@Juango3294]

Oh my God, yes. Sadly John, from what I understand, was very insecure about his voice. I love his unique sound so much.

[@christianhoffman7407]

@@Juango3294 My friend and I call it like a razor blade, but we mean it has sharpness to it that is rock and roll all day long. Like how he sings Please Mr Postman or the first line of Mr Moonlight from the 1st Anthology. It is heavenly.

[@beatlejason]

Wow. The harmony separation is AMAZING!

[@dorotap3397]

very elaborate harmonies, you can see creativity in every instrument, the guitars and vocals are amazing

[@Tom-hk6ub]

Well done ! Paul's harmonies on Revolver are outstanding ...

[@nonrepublicrat]

but not any better than John and George.

[@donaldwebb]

@@nonrepublicrat Paul does the high parts, & he's the secret magic ingredient in all their harmonies. Takes them to the next level

[@oywee928]

John,what a great voice he had, underated rythm-guitarist in the band, loved his wits and sense of humour, and have always been my favourite Beatle! ❤

[@thelordofliberty6984]

Never noticed that little giggle by John during the vocal. During "anyone in need."

[@arricammarques1955]

Four tracks of peerless perfection.

[@anthonym612]

@14:13 Those harmonies 👌😁

[@Theepicgamer20213]

Could you add in George’s Isolated Vocals in there

[@westfield90]

Amazing to hear the vocal harmonies.

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

outstanding bass work

[@jaguarsunburst1570]

Beatles Forever!! Thankyou ❤

[@Fantumh]

Such a badass song. There's something magical about the Beatles in this era, how amazingly creative and interesting they were. In many ways when I think of the Beatles' "sound" I think of them in 1965-66.

[@notanotherjamesmurphy5574]

awesome upload as always

[@natepicker436]

For a 'throwaway' Beatle song, this is my favorite. Basic, punchy rock song with all the twists these guys were capable of. Any idea if John was playing a Gretsch? A great sound; thanks for the breakdown.

[@GeorgeNachajon]

Yes, John played an orange Gretsch Chet Atkins (or Nashville?) on this song. George played a Gibson SG.

[@magneto7930]

Awesome job!

[@psychedelic5290]

Great work! Hope you produce more isolated vocal lines.

[@philmaynes3271]

Amazing work my friend!

[@GeorgeNachajon]

John played an orange Gretsch Chet Atkins (or Nashville?) on this song, probably did it on She Said She Said too. George played a Gibson SG.

[@redchandler]

I love this! I'm a little confused about the harmonies on the Well Well Well section; the harmonies don't show up on the single tracks. And the tracks you do hear them on the are not very loud. It was three part harmony in that section right? Maybe it was just two part.

[@rbstems]

The single-tracked vocals is either an overdub or what they started with. Then the well well well part was added with George, or vice versa.

[@redchandler]

@@rbstems ok. Thank you!

[@toretronio9030]

I think that the original stereo mix has the double tracking split in stereo, so you can actually get both single tracked vocals from it Again, I think

[@maximobenatti6110]

great job

[@_mat_hue3437]

Are you using ai for the harmony isolation, limitless possibilities if so

[@MysteryV.]

In the drums section I can see a little google icon in the bottom right corner😂

[@rbstems]

Woops! 😅

[@esomellipsrhc2183]

looks more like an ordinary guitar to me

[@ddreves4116]

Uh...that's not a bass
