For who need to practice 9:36 - 11:27 JOHN 10:26 - 11:41 PAUL

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

One fascinating thing about Galeazzo is that he at this age (somewhere between 45 and 50 maybe?) sounds as fresh as Paul did at 23. Shows you what correct technique can do!

[@dhruvbarot1064]

He is 63 as his looks!

[@RiXFortuna]

He is 83 and lives on bockwurst and weissbier, that’s the secret

[@user-jq2iz9zn4p]

He's younger than that.

[@olleinsulander]

It´s all the olive oil and mediterranian cuisine!

[@justinjefferson5831]

Galeazzo deserves a knighthood for figuring out these harmonies given the original recordings with all the other inputs going on at the same time. Masterful.

[@markr.devereux3385]

I guarantee it took many long hours. I can imagine. his recording board helps to compare each take which might take 10-20 times.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

Yeah, John sings the HIGH NOTE on the word "Hand" every time. This was a COMMON practice with the Beatles. MANY times john would sing higher than Paul briefly and then work his way downward.

[@Denmirden]

Very interesting

[@Ryan692.]

A lot of people take for granted how advanced and complex the Beatles' songs are even though they may appear simple. Thanks for showing us the details behind their compositions! It just goes to show you how much natural talent they had!

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Ryan692 It's a pleasure!

[@Helmut83]

It seems for some people it's kind of trendy to underestimate the Beatles even when they don't have a clue about music.

[@silkendroth]

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

I was going to say the same thing. Beatles music is deceptive and here's why...to write a song that is so easy to listen to so you instantly love it means you have to have a great tune. To have a great tune means you have to be complex in structure but then complex doesn't sell because it had already been done before with dance hall music and classical ect..to be complex and make it sound simple is unbelievably difficult to do and the Beatles somehow could do this with ease. That is their genius and is the very reason they transformed the entire industry. Still to this day their compositions are unsurpassed!

[@kirbygene]

These breakdowns are so enlightening. I never knew how many high /falsetto parts were actually John's.Conventional wisdom always said that Paul had all the higher vocals and John had all the lower. But they really moved around a lot more than most of us ever knew. Thanks for pointing this out. I always loved John's voice, but now I have a new-found respect for his vocal range.

[@Bart91127]

Agreed,it only takes to listen to Anna and This Boy.

[@dandamerville]

I've always loved the Beatles. The day I bought my first guitar and began learning to play was the Monday after the Sunday when they first appeared on The Ed Sullivan show. Thanks to Galeazzo's exquisite analysis of their songs I can better understand why I and millions (maybe billions?) of other music lovers never get tired of listening to them. They weren't just clever, talented-enough guys who came along at the right time. They are musical geniuses. I especially appreciate Galeazzo's opening comment that the Beatles music can be appreciated at so many levels.

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Dan Damerville Thank you Dan. I receive a lot of comments which I really enjoy. Some of the ones I enjoy the most are coming from People like you who attended the Ed Sullivan Show at the time and tells me they're sort of re-living the same emotion in a way....

[@michaelferreri1256]

Just when I thought I couldn't possible enjoy and appreciate the Beatles anymore than I already do, this fellow comes along and makes it even more exciting and intriguing all over again. Bravo Galeazzo!

[@natfoote4967]

I am impressed by how much you affect the distinctive timbre and pronunciation of each of them when you're singing their parts.

[@robinmoser7921]

The complexity buried in their simplicity. Yet its those small nuances I think that gives me the chills when I listen to some of their early songs. I know I must be hearing these variances in the harmonies but it is subtle and carries quite a punch.

[@TangoEliott]

This was the song I was waiting for. The harmonies have intrigued me since the first time I heard the song. Thanks a million.

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Tango Eliott Which was when?

[@TangoEliott]

The Beatles Vocal Harmony Well it was when it all began. I saw the Beatles live at Shea Stadium in 1966 (the less famous concert) and I have been glued to their hip since I was almost 12 years old (1964). I first heard them in very late December 63 and fell insane for them in January. By the time they arrived in USA I was a Beatles freak. Still am! I cannot get enough. That is why anything released, even if it is another version of a song I heard a billion times, is like gold to me. Better than gold.

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Tango Eliott One of the best about doing what I am doing is receiving the love of all of you and this kind of comment... thank you :)

[@javiermgtaoism5702]

The Beatles Vocal Harmony Growing up in Mexico, I remember as a kid hearing all their songs along with the Supremes on random stations. On Saturday mornings I would rush to a friends house to watch cartoons. Even there their songs came thru. The Beatles animated series. I knew nothing about who The Beatles were back then. In 1973 I was now living in the USA. A song came on the radio "Jet". Something about that song rang....but I could not put my finger on it. I asked a friend who that band was...the friend said, "He was one of the members of The Beatles. We went to his house and HE slipped a vinyl out of a black and white cover with the faces of four young men. The first song He played was 'I saw her standing there' It triggered something in me. He played the other songs and every song in the album was a time machine to my past childhood.. After that I bought every album I could find by the Beatles and I have them all including some of the rarities. What a trip that was.

[@beatlesbones65]

What made me a fan of yours, dear Galeazzo, is your ability to pick up and bring us every rich and rare details of their songs - the appatently simpler one - and thus show us why Beatles are unique. In my 50 years old I never imagined I would learn so much about a band I love and thanks to them I could learn english and guitar, though I'm not a virtuose. Thank you so much! Grazie!

[@extramile734]

I respect your great scholarly approach.

[@robertthompson5908]

That is frickin amazing. I’ve heard that song all my life and I never realized it was the result of such a complex harmony.

[@mfsbrz]

The Beatles didn't have any formal training on Music. This makes every song of them even more amazing. The amount of details is really incredible! You nailed it! Congrats.

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

mfsbrz Grazie mille!

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

SO INCREDIBLE HOW COMPLICATED THE BEATLES MUSIC IS AND HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE TO ANALYZE AND TEACH US ABOUT IT. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, GALLAZEO XXXXXXX !!!!!!

[@rooftopband1261]

Hello, my name is Cezar and I live in Brazil. I would like to thank you for all vocal harmonies that you send us. My 60's and 50's band here in Brazil watch so much your videos. Hugs

[@loisatkins-hawk7673]

You explain to the world what the Beatles did naturally. What an amazing gift! Thank you for teaching all of us to be better singers!

I almost never comment. But THIS deserves the BIGGEST APPLAUSE as the BEST music SECRET teaching UNRAVELING of one of the best rock songs. So JOYFULL, So YOUTHFULL. It had deserved this kind of deconstructing to make better musicians for decades!! Thank you SIR.

[@iamvindell]

My mom and I sing, for fun, at karaoke often, and we harmonize often. This helps so much, for us to see the distinctive parts and the little nuances. Thank you so much!!!!

[@paulknapp6765]

I'm so thankful (and jealous) that you have the ear to dissect the different parts. This break down of this song is a historical treasure.

[@juliekadams]

I could sing all the perfection you're demonstrating, but I would go crazy trying to find someone else who could to sing it with.

[@royphillips7435]

The Beatles just do it , no working it out or effort needed it's music that's what they do better than anyone on this planet in the end ! One listen to any of those 300 songs .....Job done !

[@gemcointl1]

As my friend Jim says.. great work Galeazzo. And I thought I was the only 'nut' that spent hours as a kid spinning the same track 10 times in a row in order to breakdown each vocal..then each instrument ! So after about 30 spins..I could REALLY hear the song as intended. HaHa.. So worth it.. they are brilliant musicians with a special chemistry. **At Mickavellian : You can bet the ranch on them just improvising on most of their harmonies.. you can see it in many outtakes / bootlegs / films .. Remember, they were singin together since their Teens.. & spent so much time together, they probably knew what each other was about to do before the other! They had built in radar..and all the great Buddy Holly / Everly Bros influences to draw from.. I never grow tired of this stuff.. Amen!

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

GemBackNY Gem Right "they probably knew what each other was about to do before the other!" That's the only explanation.

[@RansomGangsterBox245]

It's so cool that you kinda dissect John's, Paul's, George's, and even Ringo's vocal parts in a very detailed way. I just wanted to let you know that i really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.

[@JacQuie1776]

Bravo !!! I love listening to your harmonies and the brilliant techniques that create the Beatles sound we all love. Thank you !!

[@SWLinPHX]

I'm a (very) amateur singer but good enough to get decent reviews at karaoke. I just discovered your channel and I am equally amazed at your explanation & teaching skills, your spot on vocal reproduction and the graphical breakdown. And yes, you make me appreciate what I thought of as just a fun "little diddy" the Beatles first hit America with!

[@phjones01]

Your video's are truly amazing. I have been a Beatles fan for many years and I never realised how much effort they put into their vocal harmonies, and how hard they to reproduce accurately. Thank you so much for these.

[@jiop538]

Sono molto meravigliato di vedere una chittara basso Hofner,in Italia. Quando ci era stato nel 1992 sono andato parecchi negozzi di strumenti musicale e nessuno c'e l'aveva. Auguri per questi corsi stupendi sui vocali dei Beatles.Ci ha mostrato molte cose che non sapevo. Grazie!

[@TheOrganist007]

What you're showing us is awesome!- we love the Beatles,but you're opening a new door in listening to their music!! Thank you very much!- we appreciate very much what you're doing!

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. WHEN I WAS A CHILD, IT WAS THE FIRST BEATLE'S SONG I HEARD. YOU ARE STELLAR IN THIS VIDEO, AS WITH ALL YOUR OTHERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. XXXXXX :)

[@roxanaperezp.7332]

Thank you too much! I never thought that the beatles had different voices styles when they're singging....amazing!!!!...

[@irvinlim8795]

Fantastic! I can't fathom how you're able to hear and distinguish every single minute detail.

[@TheCobberK]

I love your dedication to ensuring this wonderful music is accurately reproduced. This is a particular favourite for nostalgic reasons. Thanks once again Galeazzo.

Yes it is, it's a classic and at the same time, the icon of an hera...

[@howardanderson3061]

Dude, you are an Italian Treasure, you make the world a better place!

[@russellmorash3816]

Your recreations of these songs is incredible. Your ability to be able to do all the voices and when you do them singularly I don't always hear it but when you do the harmony you would swear it's them. Plus as a bass player you don't just know the songs but different from one verse to the other incredible your the master

[@MAGNETO-i1i]

Its amazing your ability to hear all those details.. Thank!

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Kanibulus Thank you :)

[@billdowney1487]

Your dedication and talent and what you've shown us and taught us is amazing. Interestingly, its so entertaining and as a bonus, informative. Thank you for taking us into the inner vocals and having us hear them separately and then together.

[@insightwisdom830]

THANK YOU for what you are doing in all these videos. I have ALWAYS loved the Beatles, but I never knew until now what they were doing! Thank you again!

[@mr.m6117]

I cant imagine how were you able to disect those voices..I tried listening closely to the original beatles song but couldnt tell exactly how they are doing it. Youre awesome. This made me think that paul and john were really genuis.

[@paulbirchwood5714]

Amazing to experience the harmonies of this song, Thanks!

[@PatrickMaggot1]

Hey man, I'd love to congratulate you for the great work you are doing with these songs, I am Brazilian, and I have an acoustic cover of the Beatles band, is a project of two members and we play a little of each instrument, something different. And their classes are helping us a lot, always checked first if you already have a video on a particular song that we take, it's helping us a lot, and you are teaching us a lot about singing and playing the most faithful possible what the beatles did, the respect you have for them and for their work is impressive. Again, congratulations and keep doing this great job, it sure is helping and inspiring a lot of people around the world. Sorry for my english. Bye

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Patrick Vargas Alves Very glad these helped you guys Patrick :)

[@YrNameHr]

one of the great things about your videos, amigo, is that when you sing each part, it's still Galeazzo's voice! So I hear the differences in parts nice and clear, it's not a matter of distinguishing John from Paul from George (much less from the studio production work). Their individual voices are so much a part of their sound, almost always clean distinct timbre one from the other, clean sweet voice but still soulful each in their own way; and at the same time, they're all young, they're all from Liverpool, they're all more or less from the same class, the same era, listening to the same rock n' roll, and so on... so their quality as individuals is complimented -- I say sweetened -- by their quality as a unit. Also... I just dig how you love the Beatles, Galeazzo...

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

+Andy Puritz I love them soooo much Andy! Thank you!

[@californialinchen]

I loved when you said "that's kinda amazing.....you know!?" - yes, we know :D :D

[@lauragranziera8219]

Sei fantastico! La tua accuratezza e dedizione quasi mi commuovono. Grazie

[@Robylazarus]

Excellent tutorial. You handled every bit of the track. Keep it up. Much respect. Roby.

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

Roby Lazarus Thank you!

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

@ mickavellian Thank you Mick, it may have been an instinctive trigger to what John was doing. Some of those harmony by Paul especially and variations through similar parts of the song, happen in such a fraction of a second that I find it difficult to believe they agreed on them before, so the "built in radar." as GEM said i.e. an immense talent, might be the only explanation...

[@homebaked1731]

Your accent really helps bring your voice out. You are a really good singer. Also what country are you from you have a cool accent

Since I first heard a vídeo of yours (Michelle), my vision about them had improved and also conformes about how genius they were. I created a channel here - BEATLES & BONÉS - where I put all my vocal experiences with their songs, few are good, few not that good, but always a learning from you, Galeazzo. Thank you very much for this!!!

[@rockenrollbass]

AMAZING DEDICATION and TALENT to break these songs so well! Thank you!

[@rocknrollss]

No matter how often I watch these videos....always good stuff. 👍

[@vecernicek2]

I think you in fact are sir Paul himself masked as a much younger guy and pretending the Italian accent. So you got bored of hearing all the bad renditions or what? :-)

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

vecernicek2 ahahah ;)

[@mickavellian]

vecernicek2 He DOES NAIL Paul uh ? but his John or George are as good. George sings wit a liverpudlian accent (guess Paul & John , were so influenced by the American artists that they CAN pronounce in typical "American" english) But when Gale does George he puts a slight Mercy guttural vowel. You can hear this clearly in the movie "A Hard's Day Night" & George's PERFECTLY serious quotes: George: She's a drag. A well known drag. We turn the sound down on her and say rude things. George: Oh, by all means. I'd be quite prepared for that eventuality. And the clincher: George: Aye, but don't rush. None of your five-bar gate jumps and over sort of stuff.Paul: What's that supposed to mean?George: I don't know, I just thought it sounded distinguished-like.John: George Harrison, the Scouse (Scouse=Merseyside accent and closely associated with the city of Liverpool.) of distinction! George Liverpool accent is a lot stronger even in his speech, singing it also comes out loud and clear and Gale nails it.

[@hannabusse8137]

Woo hoo! Found this just in time for my small neighborhood band to get our butts in gear for a fall festival. Various musical groups do porch concerts as part of the community event to raise money for the local children's hospital and Ronald McDonald house. And this year I'm singing Paul's part. Wish me luck 🤞

[@paulogrillo8836]

Great job! Keep on rocking! It's very good to know your opinions and answers.

[@bobsullivan2101]

I really like the way you break down the different vocals and instruments of Beatles songs. I was wondering if you could do a segment on the song "Anna" and "Misery?" Please let me know if it's possible. In the mean time keep those sessions coming. By the way, when we were teens we had a four piece band that played a wide range of Beatles songs. In fact we won a good number of Battle of the Bands playing such music. Now that I'm thinking about it, I played rhythm guitar on a Rickenbacher and our base player had a Beatles base guitar. What a coincidence. Bring back those good ole days! LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

[@TyVerte]

This is great. You sound very, very close to the original

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

TyVerte Thank you :)

[@vedere2]

I never would have guessed that it is John hitting the high note on the first "haaaaaaand!!!!" Considering that it would appear to be easier (and more typical) for Paul to hit that note, what makes you certain that it is indeed John who is singing that high note? Thanks! EDIT: You're correct (as usual!). When I viewed a few of the live versions of this song, it became clear that John is hitting that high note. I had been fooled all these years!

[@musicadesiempre5003]

Tu trabajo, admirable, pero me fascina pensar cómo se les ocurría hacer esas harmonías, hasta obtener el resultado deseado

[@mickavellian]

Phew .....One never realizes what MAGIC (cause talent can not explain this) John & Paul delivered until signore Galeazzo deconstructs the weave . A question Galeazzo... Do YOU think that these were rehearsed written harmonies or did "The Boys" had a god given "sibling harmony" gift. Your face so lights up on that outtro & last McCartney vocal acrobatic that I "think" you suspect it was an instinctive trigger to what John was doing? One thing , being a drummer I am paying close attention to Ringo's contribution and Lord all mighty that fill right under the harmonies could very well be another voice . Such SPOT on anchor to the voices using HH , snare , high tom and floor tom in his own way Ringo is counter playing the harmony's glissando (do not know the antonym of glissando :) . Funny thing the hand clapping is a mess ! LOL Thanks again my friend I had missed you.

[@SpykerZaggato84]

[@TheWevano]

Galeazzo, once again a masterpiece you did. The most remarkable insight (to me), among many others, is the fraction of a second harmony you focus on at ca. 7:30. Such genius instinct; thanks for illuminating that point, again why the Beatles sound so good. Your attention to detail is uncanny, e.g. the dubbed-over tracks bleeding onto the tape. wow! thanks again!

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

I was shocked to at that!

[@darrinnicholson1180]
