How can you know so much about music at your age? I’m 65 and a lifelong musician and you teach me so much. Plus I’m old enough to have been in the Beatles generation so this is a brilliant video topic for me. Thank you ! Of course I liked and subscribed.

If that can be in any way reassuring to you, I have a bachelor's degree in music education, so all that stuff definitely is not coming from nowhere :-)

As a lifelong Beatle fan I loved the theory behind the chords. I avoided theory for so many years,but find myself actually beginning to understand some of it. Never to late to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great lesson - just love your enthusiasm for great music! The Beatles composed using a lot of unusual chording, likely, because, as they didn't read or know a lot of theory, they just painstakingly figured everything out by ear. So they turned their theory ignorance into an asset. They tried things not typically done because they didn't know about them / didn't know any "better." And so, they composed songs per how pleasing the chords were to their ears, especially in conjunction with whatever word or syllable they were going to place the lyric's emphasis on. When you only know so much about an instrument or theory, you just have to keep moving your hands and fingers around until you find something that sounds pleasing - and I think that's precisely what they did. Because of this, they had to work especially hard at being songwriters and musicians because of knowledge they lacked, but they made up for it spectacularly by having such amazing talent and taste. Also, they worked extremely hard at their craft - from the crazy long gigs they played in the early days to the countless hours spent in the studio. One can name VERY few artists with such an extensive body of work, in which so much of it holds up so wonderfully and continues to sound so modern!

Great points! But it does not explain everything. Because there were probably thousands of artists and bands at the time who did not know any theory and figured everything out by ear too, and who had great taste too. And none of them came even close to what the Beatles have created and the impact that they had for decades to come. It's not only because The Beatles had great ears and worked hard. They created something special, magical. They did not just figure some things out by ear, they created those things too. There is probably a much deeper explanation to this (after all, you can litterally major in Beatles studies at the University of Liverpool!). Great conversation!

This shows the importance of not being stuck in any key, but instead playing chords that still work well with each other, but they sound different, exciting.

A fantastic lesson Antoine and a very enjoyable one too. I've played many of the songs before but I still learned a lot about the ones I've never played, and how The Beatles had an extensive "chord vocabulary" from their early days. Happy New Year to you.

Just love your videos; you are teaching me so much. She's so Heavy looks like a progression in key of Dm and they decided there has to be an F note present in every chord (and on the first string). Don't tell me they didn't know any music theory; the whole album is drenched in it. At 15.09 you show an alternative to play E7b9 but you label it Eaug. Had me scrunching my face up! Keep going, you're great!
