Next: "Can you guess the Beatles song from the tape hiss?"

I was so proud of myself when I got "Something" and David didn't. The main reason I knew it is because I play the bass line all the time. And that walkup happens right before the best part of the bass line -- the fill right after the lyric "I don't want to leave her now."

Paul was a genius at adding piano, keyboard, mellotron, and other parts to lift up the others’ songs. I don’t think he gets enough credit for that Examples are A Day in the Life, Sexy Sadie, Strawberry Fields Forever, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Come Together, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Any Time At All (middle eight), etc

On song 9, you can still hear the lyric "something in the way, she" in the background, that gave it away

David, this is what I read from wilipedia about In my Life: "At that time, Lennon had not decided what instrument to use, but he subsequently asked George Martin to play a piano solo, suggesting "something Baroque-sounding".[2] Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded with the tape running at half speed, so when played back at normal pace the piano was twice as fast and an octave higher, solving the performance challenge and also giving the solo a unique timbre, reminiscent of a harpsichord."

Chord progression for Hey Jude also sounded like A Day In The Life to me. Really tough those. Love these videos.

This has been the hardest "guess the Beatles song" challenege for me yet.

Haha, I also said For No One because of the chord progression. Apart from confusing You Won't See Me with I Want To Tell You (because of the dissonance in the chords), I got everything right. So 10/12.

Yes, 8/12 for me too. The Penny lane one was maybe the most difficult - according to some some sources there may be 4 or 5 piano overdubs on the track (including one by John!)

You need to do these more often!!😂

How have I heard these songs 7 million times and I still flunk this test?

6/12, the first half seemed easier than the second half! Great quiz, thanks

Got six..and have listened to the Beatles ..forever..am 74..

7/12...some of these were pretty tricky...

These videos have been very fun. Thanks for doing them!

5:43 IDK, but it's Something Lol

I had 10/12 right. I missed "You won't see me" and "Hey Jude". These quizzes are really great fun! 😊

It's amazing hearing how may songs where The Boys *buried* the piano in the mix!

The Hey Jude one tricked me a lot! It's really the same progression as for no one😅 i think a way we could use to differ both is using the fact the "for no one" piano part is more stacatto than Hey Jude's one

LOVE these, not sure which I like more: doing these alongside you or hearing you say "BEE-TOWCE" as the name of the band

10/12. 🍌

love this content, you should expand it to other bands and artists!

1 - no idea 2 - no idea 3 - IN MY LIFE 4 - COME TOGETHER 5 - DRIVE MY CAR - WRONG 6 - no idea 7 - GOLDEN SLUMBERS 8 - DRIVE MY CAR - RIGHT! 9 - SOMETHING 10 - no idea 11 - LET IT BE - UGH 12 - HELLO GOODBYE 6/12...tough one!

David, you did very well. The songs were difficult. I enjoyed Jon Smith as well.

I only got 4 right, but I did better than I thought I would!

Got all but 2 ("Something" and Hey Jude") "You Won't See Me," good guess on the Diminished chord being linked to George. I knew it wasn't "For No One" on "Hey Jude" when I tried to sing the melody over it, but had no idea what it was going to be. Great quiz!

Really enjoy these. Thanks! 😊

I love these quizzes!!!! Keep them coming!!! I LOVE The Beatles.

bruv if you don't get 100% this time I swear 😤

Yay! Beatles quiz! I really enjoy it when your sponsors are new unknown (to me) musicians

Good one! 9/12 for me. I got "The Word" from the guitar part. Lol. Got "Hey Jude" because it's my fave Beatles song, and about the only song I can play on the piano.

I like these videos, they keep me humble.

Of all the quizzes this one stumped me the most

I never get tired of these, thank you for making them! :D

Old bloke getting into keyboards and I love your channel - a young guy who likes great music…who’d have thunk it 👍🏻😀 love the quizzes and chord progression videos 😊

I could hear the vocals on Something which is part of what gave it away for me.

Wow..............2/12 ...............hard test here.............great fun for a guitar player like me.

I randomly guessed each one and naturally got a goose egg.

11/12. nice run of quizzes. thanks!

I watch these beatles guess the song challenges a lot, to see if i could improve my score!, i love watching these videos!, Nice Vid! 😃

I knew one you didn’t, but you knew a couple I didn’t! I love these videos that test my devotion to the Beatles!

Excellent!

1:00 Woah Moog Synthesizer isolated is beautiful

10/12 Very much enjoyed it!

12/12 My love for Rubber Soul really helped in this video. I’ve been getting better at these as they come. I hope we get a second version of each instrument cause these are so fun

I got a qualified 12/12 -- Once David said #2 was a Moog, I knew it was Here Comes the Sun, but I hadn't got it until he said that.

I love these

I missed a bunch but got Hey Jude! I love these videos 🙏🏼

That *was* fun! I was 9 for 12: missed the same ones you did, David, except I got "Something." OK, all that's left is to ID Beatles songs based on...cowbell! 😅

I got 4/12, which believe me is good for me. I was very pleased to get Hey Jude though! When I heard it I thought the rhythm sounded like Hey Jude, but when you said the two songs you thought it might be I thought “Ah, OK, close but no cigar”. So it was great to find out that it was Hey Jude after all. These quizzes are great fun, even if I don’t get many of them right. 👍

This is going to drive me nuts now. That little slice of Hey Jude with that chord progression sounds so much like a song that John was messing around with after the Beatles - was it part of Real Love? Grrr. It was from one of those home audio tapes he did.

That's the best I've done on one of these quizzes yet -- 7/12.

Wow, Jon Smith's Voyages! 😮 Jon and his family happen to be very close friends of mine!! Not only is he super talented, he is also a genuine, incredible person. I hope he gains a ton more followers from this exposure. PS - despite being a HUGE Beatles fan, my score on this was abysmal.

10/12! First one of these I did well on!

I love these guessing videos, I literally pretend I'm with David trying to guess with him. I would love to see this type of video with Radiohead songs

Please do second parts for every instrument!

That last song clip you play by Jon Smith's Voyages made me think so much of Jethro Tull! :)

I'm not THAT much of a Beatles fan and only mostly know their biggest hits, and thus I was thrilled when I got "Something" and you didn't :) Fun quiz.

This is amazing, thanks. We all know Ringo on drums, John and George on guitars and Paul on drums, but they, under George Martin's guidance incorporated keyboards all over their catalogue. Lady Madonna, Let it Be, You Never Give Me Your Money, The Long and Winding Road, intros to songs like Ob La Di, While My Guitar Gently Weeps ,Lovely Rita and others. Plus the horns and woodwinds in songs like Got to Get You Into My Life, All You Need is Love, Strawberry Fields Forever, When I'm 64, the strings in Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home and Good Night, and George's sitar and other Eastern instruments in Love You To, Within You and Without You and Norwegian Wood all help to define an original and unmatched sound that will last as long as we listen to music. The Beatles stand alone at the top and there is no one like them.

7:16 4, actually: ADITL (sort of) uses it in the intro. BTW, when you have a video sponsored by Pianote, have you been practicing the solo from In My Life (exactly as fast as the trick in the quiz)?

Really interesting to hear the keyboard in (for the most part) isolation. Cool 😎

11/12, not bad!

There were a few songs I got at the very last second but I did still manage to get all 12, though there were a couple other songs I was expecting to see as well like I Am the Walrus, Let It Be, Money (That's What I Want) and even songs like Real Love or Now & Then but this was still a lot of fun. Always enjoy these quizzes, also it might just be what my ears heard but Jon Smith's Voyages' vocals honestly sound a lot like George Harrison's and I do really like it

Kool vid @ the end

You did better than I did, but I was proud that I got “Something”! Also, I made the same wrong guess as you on “Hey Jude” (we both thought it was “For No One”).

This is the hardest one yet, imo, since the piano is less foreground than the other instruments, typically. And for 11, I too thought "For No One", so you're in decent company lol

10/12 here, hope theres another video in this series so i can finally get that 💯

8 out of 12. I missed 6, 9, 10 and 12. The organ bit in "Something" is quite a pleasant surprise.

I only got 4 of them, but I'm proud of myself for guessing #3 correctly considering what David said about it.

good fun. I thought 11 was going to be A Day In The Life. Yet another track using the same chord progression, like Hey Jude :). How about a quiz playing only the backing vocals?

This was a really fun one! It sounds like isolating the piano track didn't go so well for some of these though :( like "The Word" you could clearly still hear the guitar, which I think helped me get it. And "Penny Lane" and one or two others sounded so processed and garbled that the original timbre of the piano part didn't come through.

This was fun David! I would have bet the farm on no-11being 'For no one".

Love these quizzes. I got 7/12 and also guessed For No One.

I have an idea for this series! You should do one where you guess the beatle song by reversing it first (with a tool like audacity). You could even include a question which uses george's reversed solo in im only sleeping being reversed again 😉

Missed 5 of them but proud I knew “Something “

Man, this one was hard. I only got five. (1, 3, 4, 5, and 8). And I probably wouldn't have gotten #5 without John's iconic rhythm, which was the giveaway.

The first sounded just like the beginning of their "You Like Me Too Much" song!

1). George Martin: Good Day Sunshine. 2) George Martin Here Come The Sun 3) George Martin In My life 4) Come Together George Martin 5) The Word. George Martin 6) Penny Lane George Martin 7) Sleep Pretty Darling/ Golden Slumbers. George Martin 8) Baby can you drive my Car. McCartney 10) Something. Possibly McCartney, but could be Lennon 11) Dunno 12) For no One....I was wrong 13) Hello Goodbye McCartney. Is that "The Poodles" at the end?

I missed 4. The interesting thing is that more than any other of these quizzes, I was either really sure of my answer, or I have no idea at all.

all quite easy yes well done

2 curious things... Song 10. I thought it was "I want to tell you" because the keys felt as though they had that syncopation and seemed to be played quite in a quite hard staccato way. Second; basically "I want to tell you" has completely recycled that chord progression and style from "you wont see me" changing the syncopation slightly

I only got 5, but of the ones I missed, I missed all of the ones you did (and a couple I was WAY off on)

I've always wondered what that In My Life, George Martin solo originally sounded like. Thank you. ❤

Oh wow! I got a freaking 10/12! The abundance of songs from Rubber Soul was a huge advantage for me (aside from the piano focus of this quiz). I failed at Penny Lane (haven't listened to that song in a while) and Hey Jude (I don't know how I got it wrong and now I'm disappointed with myself).

Fun ! I was just 6/12, but again the mistakes are the most interesting thing. I had Penny Lane for You Won't See Me. Also, one can sometimes narrow down the period even if you get the actual song wrong. I was surprised the quiz didn't include Lady Madonna, perhaps a less prominent piano section, but may be that would have been too easy even then. Thanks!

For some reason, I found this much harder than the other ones. I guess the piano tends to fade into the background. I only got Drive My Car and In My Life. (I also got Golden Slumbers, but only because you put the Abbey Road medley in my mind)

Easier than the drum quiz and the bass quiz.

2:55 Isn't that also guitar in there? That's what gave it away for me

Some of these threw me for sure.

i got the exact same score as you!

I was positive that was For No One too!

somehow got all of them except You Won't See Me (which I thought was I Want to Tell You, even though i knew it was too slow to be that, I just couldn't think of anything else), Hey Jude was tricky as well because I didn't recognize that progression as being part of the song but the pacing and rhythms sounded like it so I did choose it as my most likely contender and it ended up being right

I'm confused cos Song 10 totally fits to "I Want To Tell You"

8/12 as well, I got the same ones that you did!

I think if you said "Carry that Weight" instead of "Golden Slumbers", you can allow yourself a point (I did! 😁)...it's not entirely clear where one ends and the next begins...

8:29 - I see that Jon plays a left-handed trumpet and sax as well. :)

11/12!!!

Ha ha ! I thought 11 was Maxwell’s Silver Hammer!

2:56 It’s the Word

I got "Hey Jude" and "Something". Something, you can hear some of the vocals which gives it away. With Hey Jude, I've heard the isolated piano before.
