he'd have written so many more great songs if not for that untimely death. then he'd have joined the Travelling Willburys or Ringo's all -stars. Here comes the Sun was Holly influenced ,as George and the boys were big fans. Lennon called it a "Buddy Holly type song".in fact, it's a little redundant of me to point it out, Buddy having had such a lasting impact on the BEATLES.

I think people take for granted how down to earth Paul M is. This guy is a musical legend. He could be all pious and "Well I've done it all, you have my work on my recordings", and sit there like a bump on a log. Instead he doesn't mind whipping out a guitar and playing his or anybody else's stuff live just for the love of playing. I will always respect and admire him for that, almost more than I do for his body of work.

Well here's a thing about the Beatles. they all played music for the sake of music, whether it's recording or live. but here's something, they stopped playing live. Why? because the fans would get so loud they couldn't hear themselves. they were practically playing nothing at that point. so they started recording full time.

Buddy boy, there is what happens when a camera is "ON" and there is "Everywhere else." None of us are in the man's house, none of us are in the car with him, none of us are married to him. This "St. Paul" thing is similar to "St. John" and "St. George." The fabs are people, like you and me. They take a daily dump. Their breath stinks sometimes. They are not saints who walk the earth blessing each and every creature all the days of their lives. Dig?

I agree, but I think what he was saying, is that if Paul wanted, he could pretend to be more than a man. But Paul owns it, never acts like he's better than the rest of us. All the Beatles were pretty frank about their pooping habits. :)

His voice may change, same with his looks, but he is Paul McCartney ....a husband, father, grandfather, composer, singer, genius and a legend.

honestly, I'd say the first is most likely. You don't need to understand every nuance relating to music theory to decide to write an odd chord into a progression. It is true that those were the first times those kind of chords were thrown into rhythm guitar based early rock and roll/rockabilly music.

@thebrazilianatlantis165 6 жыл бұрын

Anyone as broad-minded as Buddy Holly can get interested in ambitious chords some whenever he feels like it one day. That's exactly what happened with one of the chords in Paul's "Michelle." Jazz was on the radio a lot when Buddy and Paul (and even Elvis Costello) were young. Carl Perkins, good ol' boy of all good ol' boys, used interesting chords in "Honey Don't" because why not.

I love how he even gets all the right vocal tics in. McCartney's virtuosity as a songwriter is based in no small part on how adept he was at imitating various sounds and accents, etc. I once saw a hilarious clip of him quickly imitating enthusiastic "jive talk" as a young Beatle. And of course, you've got all those Western mannerisms he incorporated when putting American country music on Let It Be, etc. Sometimes he was very free-form when vocalizing, as with the low-to high howls he would do on some White Album and Abbey Road songs.

@@steveconn Yeah, but those string ballads were more of a return to the past than an innovation thing. He was married and more mellow, less interested in rock&roll, it seems.

Love this stuff. Borrowing chords from the parallel minor, things out of the key that weren't used often in rock.....Beatles were great for that. Peggy Sue did it with the F major. I can't play nearly as good as many people I know, but after 40 years decided to dive into theory and at least learn that language and why things work, chord selection for songs increases dramatically.....rarely used chord voicings. Some jazz guys I know said they noticed the Beatles doing things other Rock bands just weren't doing musically. Nothing difficult or out of the ordinary for jazz players, but huge for rock, and that is what drew so many of us to their music. The simplicity of rock with some really cool stuff tossed into the mix to make it better than anyone else could do.
