Yes! Acoustic!

The history of that song is amazing. It started out as a slow, bluesy acoustic song. Paul heard Pete Townshend say that a The Who song was the hardest ever recorded. Paul took it as a challenge and wanted the dirtiest, nastiest thing he could create. People have called it the origin song of heavy metal.

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know!

And there is a book she wrote, probably out of print, called Body Count.

U know Paul hit that.

So not only Lennons woman attended Beatles sessions, I learn something new about The Beatles all the time; they're continually entertaining us with new information all the time, even though it was already out there years ago..

@@neonh161Her name is Yoko. You can say it.

Also, they usually put new strings on them for recordings, and as most of us know, new strings won't stayed tuned very well until they stretch of bit....

I've been a guitar teacher for 30 years. I love the Beatles, but they're not the best at tuning in this vid lol.

​@jasonschnitker6526 well then you should know better as acoustic guitars need tuning and if not tuning to a nearby concert pitch instrument or tuning (fork)..pre digital days FYI then you tune to your partners instrument or just tune each string by ear in relation to the next one if you are on your own with no tuning tools.

It's all good. It's a random clip of them tuning, and I'm sure they were awesome at it 99% of the time. It's a funny but a meaningless criticism when compared to their greatness as composers, producers, and musicians. They were the best. And yes, I have the benefit of a snark constantly clipped to my headstock lol.

Who is the chick? Paul has his own Yoko. Wassup wit dat?

I agree, though I think too big a deal was made about them doing solo and duo tracks. It was, after all, a sprawling double album, and as CSNY would soon prove, a group doesn't have to follow strict guidelines or always play as a unit to make lasting music.

😅

O😊

I like it, too

This was before portable tuners were available!

This is sarcasm? How about the long stretch with virtually no sound, Lennon speaking indecipherably, and Yoko whispering inaudibly? Were these exciting too? How the cacophony of Lennon and McCartney simultaneously playing different tunes in different keys?

@@kurtweiand7086 Yes, in those days tuners were gigantic and had to be housed in their own separate buildings. You couldn’t take them with you. Wouldn’t even fit in an EMI studio.

@@jeffryphillipsburns thanks for your opinion and merry Christmas.

John does it the way I do it

It's Paul

@@robertstreet7177 Yeah, later on Paul too, but I wrote my reaction after seeing just John tuning

I respectfully DISAGREE. To quote Neil Innes (parodying Bob Dylan), " I've suffered for my music. Now it's your turn..."

Obviously you're not a musician, there's nothing more frustrating than the sound of musicians attempting to tune their instruments, aaaaaaaaaaaargh!

They're gonna milk that cow

Where is this from?

Just what I thought! White Album documentary coming soon... hehe

Martin was himself collaborating with co-producer Yoko Oh No!

We can exclude Yoko. She had / has zero talent, and had no right to be anywhere near that recording studio.

@@alanduncan1980 Considering he was a man in his 20's, Paul McCartney demonstrated precocious forbearance with the situation. I'd have tossed a tambourine at her.

@@alanduncan1980 Some geniuses prefer to have friends with them....I used to take my wife and kids to gigs....in the recording process it can cause inspiration and not hindrance.....its weird - I also worked in a warehouse and then it just wouldn't work lol

yeah, the honkey album IMO is their best shhit

According to Peter Jackson there are 3 to 4 hours of footage from the White Album sessions.

Well said. They had an amazing team of songwriters and session musicians.

@@coolnamebro What are you talking about? If you're talking about the Beatles, they had none of those things. They did not need them.

"The Beatles were just average musicians!" is a take I hate seeing. Ringo and Paul were incredible with their instruments, and John/George weren't anything to complain about either.

@@Y-two-K My response to that trope is always a variation of "compared to whom?" If they respond by naming musicians who emerged IN THE WAKE of the Beatles, I know they don't know what they're talking about.

​@@coolnamebroYes they were called John Paul George and Ringo.

Also, doing Blackbird starting at 2:16

he was at the top trying to slide to the bottom and back up to the top again i suppose

You're very welcome!

Really? I didn't know that.

@@SuperGogetem He makes the suggestion in the video above while Paul is rehearsing that number.

Paul's reaction suggests that he was thinking along those lines anyway.

@@garyjames1745 does it?

Yes.

You mean the Indian musicians at the end? I quite agree.

@@jeffryphillipsburns no, I mean The Beatles!

Nah, don't change a thing.

Haha! Good point. Possibly Paul might have replied : "Yes love, it's true many of us were born at a very early age, but the idea here is being 'born into the situation of being young-and-poor, rather than just being 'born young.'

Yeah, YOU tell PAUL FREAKING MCCARTNEY how to write a song! LOL

@@syater George had the song with "I was so young when I was born, my eyes could not yet see...".

Always miffed by that lyrics

Thanks so much!

​@@josephmhtx✌️😉

You mean your high school band was named “Fox” or your high school band had a fox? As far as I knew our high school band was named “band”. I didn’t play in it. I played in orchestra. It was called “orchestra”. (Somewhere within 1971-1974 our high school band performed “Hey, Jude”, at assembly, and Jerry Fleming took a long improvised sax solo at the end. He was in his glory.)

Hi Jeff, The band was called Fox... How I came up with that name, Maybe because it was an easy name. Me and the other members kicked around names and decided on that. That must have been amazing seeing "Hey Jude" played like that in an assembly. I remember assemblies, almost every Friday morning. How bout this! One Friday morning assembly, 1969 I think The school Cheerleaders come out and dance to "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown! This guy was like "Alice Cooper" that never made it big. Cheerleaders in their CHS green and white outfits jumping around with the "45" record of that blasting through the auditorium. That was wild - Still remember that one! 😇 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLV1pb2m38DUg2w.html

Exactly what I was thinking of !!

All guitars go out of tune. But what is notable is that there is no tuning device in sight - just a good pair of ears. There were such things as electromechanical strobe tuners going back to the 1930s, but even when recording a take, I doubt they would have used anything more than a tuning fork.

Perfect tuning is overrated. Before the 80's it was not so common to have a perfectly intonated or even perfectly tuned guitars and yet I think records sound better when there is a slight difference in tuning between the instruments.

@@avanti6058 Yes. But the thing is, many people nowadays can't (or believe they can't) even manage *imperfect* tuning without the aid of an electronic device. I think that musicians were more accustomed to trusting their ears back then, and had, on average, a more highly developed sense of pitch, just through practice. I doubt whether George Martin's ear for tuning was any less sharp than a half-decent electronic tuner.

newly changed strings is adjusted several time until tension is stable

She's much prettier than Linda, too. IMO 😉

John was awesome ⭐

And a very poor father to his son Julian

​@crazyantny9161 and you're perfect 🤦

@@ACDZ123 Nobody’s is perfect but few ones behaved so badly against their first son called them “ a child of alcohol “ not wanted…. And it’s a lie since Mimi and his sister Julia said he wanted to marry Cynthia and wanted the baby too but you a Lennon ‘s syncopate trying to minimize everything he did!

@@ACDZ123 AH! Being the dope I am, I stayed with my kids mother whom I never loved., who was a lieying, stealing cheating peice of crap and a nut job till my son graduated college!!! This included him having a battle with Birketts Syndrome when he was 8 "that's cancer and leukemia at the same time". Yeah, just so he could have 2 parents as I had none! A good parent puts the child first whether it's a mistake or not! If good parent who finds another peice of ass, they should never desert the child as a casualty of no longer having interest in the other parent! By the way.... Lennon was one of the biggest hypocrites of all time... Btw, I'm no McCartney fan, but at least he was a good family man

they grew up in the same hood... Nothing about being blessed

@@glennhfriedman4571 That was a weird thing to say

Yoko killed the Beatles

There is a metronome running.

What's crazy about it?

They had around 50 songs already written when they went in the studio that they wrote in India and rehearsed at George's house in Esther

Little Willow was about Maureen, ringos wife at that time in 68

Es muy interesante todo lo que están haciendo con el material... Pero también noté que a Yoko se le transformo el Iris de los dos ojos completamente en Blanco!?

Pepper is a close second...

11 written by McCartney, 10 written by Lennon, 2 Starkey, 4 Harrison, and 3 collaborations, how exactly is that a solo album ?

@@markpaxton9895because much of the songs and the productions were primarily their own. There was collaboration throughout, but each songwriter took the arrangement and production to their own direction. It wasn’t like the older albums where it was a complete group effort start to finish on arrangements and production. Many of the songs were worked on individually by said songwriter with the rest of the group primarily overdubbing.

@@markpaxton9895 It’s common knowledge that hardly a song on that album had all four Beatles performing on it at the same time, many songs it was only 2 and some only 1.

Two albums ( John, Paul), one EP (George), one single (Ringo)

I've heard a short snippet of that

Could you share it@@MarcoPolo-fy4qr ?

sung by Ringo

John sang the demo, but Ringo’s voice was perfect for it.

He did. They lived together for 3 months.

Infatuated is more like it. She looks foolish, sitting there, practically drooling over McCartney tuning his guitar.

If she wasn't, Paul wouldn't be giving her any later

​​@@sess122she's sitting next to the one of the most famous people in the world listening (before almost anyone else) to one of the greatest songs of all time. She's got good reason to make doe eyes. You sound either jealous or misogynistic to me.

Tell me who is she? Apart from Billy's handler?

​@@sess122she's Billy's handler for sure

My ass

John was happy with her, and this is the only thing that matters...

your not on His Side'' think about That

I actually enjoyed the Yoko bits the most (not counting the Indian musicians at the end) even though I hadn’t the slightest idea what she was saying. She was so cute back then.

It's not the only thing that matters. Do what you want on your own time, but in the studio she was a fly in the ointment that was a divisive force.

exactly!! 🤝

so i think the beatles broke up not bcause of Yoko

@@supono1I truly agree with you. She ended up not really being that good of a person tho…if what I read is accurate.😮

@@juliekeller5036 who? Francie Schwartz??

I was talking good ole Yoko Ono. I don’t dislike her…but I def agree with what u said

Sounds like Martha My Dear

That was probably Billy Preston playing piano

​@@da_great_mogulYep... an earlier version of it perhaps!

​@@MrStringpickerAbsolutely not!

McCartney was an amazing piano player. Certainly the best in that group

How can you overdoub we without guitar tuners

Tom and Jerry cartoons were always played on UK tv going back decades.

Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, Amazing!

The childlike nature disguised the cunning.

Lmao. It's funny because at first I thought that she might be his sister. But then I snapped that hey he only has a brother, Mike. But if he did have a sister I'm thinking that she may look a lot like Francie. 😅

​@@waynej2608I think Paul's daughter, Mary, looked like Francie when she was younger.

She is from the japanese upper class

Jane was like the female version of Paul Simon in the song Cecilia. 😅
