John was a highly creative musician who was always on the ragged edge between agony and ecstasy. This is the price that creative people of all kinds pay, wrestling with the creative process.

Revolver was the first rock album I ever heard at about 9 yrs old. I didn't even know who the beatles were. Tomorrow Never Knows was my favorite song right off the bat. Imagine having the greatest album of all time be the first one you ever heard. I still can't fathom it.

Same here, the first album I've ever had at 5. Along with Rubber Soul it became my standard...

[@kjthekunoichi]

@@adrianokury though the beatles who were called as a pop grp bcuz at that time, genres like rock were not defined yet in the music industry, but if we hear their songs esp from revolver etc, they are actually a rock band😊😊👍👍

[@wilhelmhagberg4897]

Same for me. A bit of a sad musical journey to start of with the absolute best and discover that nothing else really tops it.

[@Dreamcatcher9000]

The first Beatles album and the first album in general I ever heard was Rubber Soul, at age 11. I think it was the perfect one to introduce me to the world of the Beatles and rock. And that's because it wasn't one of their earlier, very simple albums (I think I would be kinda "meh" if Please Please Me was my first one), and it wasn't one of their later experimental/mature ones (I think I would be shocked and confused if the White Album was my first one!). It was RIGHT in the middle. It is simple, it's still the Beatles they were when they started, but at the same time, it's melancholic and mature, and just different. I felt like I listened to something really great that day. Because I did. But yeah, Revolver comes very close. It's just a little bit (or probably, a lot!) trippy for the first Beatles/rock album for a kid to listen to, I think.

[@86crud]

I can’t imagine. I was in love with a lot of music before I discovered my favorite album. It was The Wall, sometime in the mid eighties. I wonder what it would have been like to listen to it before anything else.

[@saucekii4421]

I really love the revolver album, I mean in all honestly I like all of the beatles albums. But in my opinion, the Revolver, Sgt peppers and even the magical mystery tour albums are very optimistic and one of the most interesting, yet inspiring albums ever that changed the perspective of music

[@sidroseVP]

As far as the "Taxman" solo it could be something recorded for that song and not used. They often tried different approaches on songs and had bits that they did not use. There is a video of Dhani Harrison with George Martin at Abbey Road and they are listening to the master tape of Here Comes the Sun. Dhani pulls a fader up and there is a completely different guitar part. Giles Martin (George Martin's son) says something about it never being used on the final mix and George Martin says, "I forgot all about that". So yeah they had "bits and bobs" (as the English say) of stuff that could be used.

[@niranjanamenon134]

The one chord thing is a very Indian thing. As an Indian who is learning Carnatic Music, most songs (or verses as we call it) would be in one chord. I'm happy that the fact that The Beatles embraced this and decided to implement them on to their songs.

[@psychoprosthetic]

I don't think you can say one chord accurately, the notes are moving all the time and improvised, but they use a drone of one or two notes in the background so *part* of the chord doesn't change.

[@shadowhand.productions]

[@kijekuyo9494]

I am an info-nut that has studied the Beatles most of his life, but you never fail to include at least some information (and photos) I didn't know. I agree with the people that think that the reverse solo is from "Taxman" rehearsal tapes. It was a clever, subliminal connection to the opening track, done quite intentionally, I believe. I am a fan of one-chord pop songs. "Bo Diddley" by Bo Diddley has one chord, as does "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by the Temptations. Such songs focus on the groove, rather than the melodic structure.

[@dogstar7]

Your theory of the Taxman solo sounds plausible. It sounds to me to be an outtake or a snip from a rehearsal tape. NIce catch all the same!

According to the Beatles Anthology, it was Paul's idea to use tape loops instead of a guitar solo and, since he was the one who was proficient and most experienced in making the loops, George Martin said Paul showed the others how to make them. Martin also said Ringo and George brought loops in but he doesn't say that John did. It didn't matter because in Revolution in the Head, the author says they ended up using Paul's loops. Whenever anyone says Tomorrow Never Knows is a breakthrough in music and it was John's song I always have to point out that what is innovative and revolutionary about the song is what Paul contributed to it. In the same way that the bassline Paul came up with and plays on John's Come Together pretty much defines the song.

For many years I have asserted that the Beatles were the first to do many different genres of music and if not the first to have at least made a track reflecting the various genres even before they became popular (Helter skelter - heavy metal). One of these is electronica, techno, industrial.. people would look at me like I was mad. I cited this song. A droning beat with a looping bass coupled with samples. It was nice to see this video make that same assertion.

To my ears, the TNK solo sounds recorded specifically for the track. If I remember Mark Lewisohn's book (Recording The Beatles) correctly, this was the first song recorded for Revolver, so Taxman would have come later. Taxman is in D. Tomorrow Never Knows is in C...not that that couldn't have been pitched. The Taxman solo WAS lifted however, but placed again at the end of Taxman.

[@immediate66]

According to Lewisohn, p. 70-72: 'Mark I' (initial title of Tomorrow Never Knows) was first tracked on April 6, this being the take heard on Anthology 2. They had a better stab at it the next day, complete with tape loops. Taxman wasn't tracked until much later, on April 20, with the guitar solo recorded on April 21, highly unlikely that it was used in TNK, although the similarity is striking

[@comeonman5300]

As described by Giles Martin and other sources, the final mix of tape loops was a live event because they only had so many tracks to work with then. Regarding the question of Taxman solo, the whole lot of them were so deeply immersed in manipulating sounds that it was most likely the lick they used. Also, a tip of the hat to Mr. HollyHobs for his fascinating insights! Videos are all well done and researched. Brilliant!

Very interesting compilation of facts from the song. Thank You for the posting, after this I realized that I know nothing. 😮

I love the way your analysis breathes new life into these great songs! Please, please do a video on the Beatle's most weird song, You Know My Name (Look Up The Number). Paul McCartney said it was his favourite Beatles song as it was so insane!

My favorite track of that album...I played it for some young musicians who had never heard TNK..they said "it's relevant to today's music"

great video on a great song - I also LOVE the cover version on 801 live

Wow man that guitar solo in Taxman and TNK is such an interesting fact! It places the album right there at the top again for me!

That's a nice hammered dulcimer you got there in the background!
