Rediscovered early Beatles sometime in the last couple of years. Could only vaguely hear this one in my head but when I listen to your video I realize it isn't an example of an interesting pattern I found, in many early Beatles, where the sections - A, B, C - alternate with one section major and melodic, in that sense, and another section is bluesy. That is, cleaning up the blues and adding it as a spice for white folks (which would include me). It's been striking just how many early Beatles tunes follow this pattern. That said, there's already considerable harmonic and melodic invention in early Beatles - and this song demonstrates that.

This is cool. It's funny I been working on a fratelllis song with almost the same progression ...now I see what inspired it....I never even thought of this track.. I must be tone deaf lol

[@creetisvan]

Thanks so much for getting the G# in the verse right. Too often it’s lazily turned into a G#m. By this time the Beatles had often used similar progressions but here not using the minor in tandem with John’s expert vocal gives the song an unexpected lift.

Thanks for the lesson. Have you considered doing a tutorial for "The night before"?

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Yes! I've gotta do it :-)

[@rajeshgumber363]

Nice Howard, Thankyou. So basically it's in the key of EMajor and then it's parallel Emin? Just curious how the G#major and F major work in some music theory way? F major sounds chromatically going down to E major etc

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

I doubt that The Beatles concerned themselves with "proper" theory too much :-) I think they just went with what sounded good to them. They had a penchant for substituting Majors for Minors and visa versa, as well as other chords. The verse and chorus are predominantly in E Major - with G# Minor being replaced with G# Major. I'm guessing Lennon just liked the way it sounded. The Bridge is in G Major, with that D Major Chord being the pivotal chord between the 2 keys. They move from F# Minor to that chord... If you think about the key of F# Minor - D Major is the 6th of that key, and it's the 5th of G Major... That's kind of the way I see it. It just works.

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart Thanks Howard!

[@mmccartney6579]

Great lesson, Howard. But I'm thinking that G#Major is a G#m. Cheers! :)

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Yes... That would be diatonically correct. But believe it or not, it's actually a Major chord. Not unusual for the Beatles :-) It actually captures the melody line perfectly.

[@mmccartney6579]

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart I've played it both ways, and I like the sound of the G#Major better than the G#m. I've known many players over the years that play it with the G#m, and it never sounded right to my ear. But I have seen it in Beatles music books as G#Major. Oh well. Thanks for responding, Howard. Cheers, mate, :)
