Genius 😂

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."

Funny thing, I did hear the singing on the first listen, but couldn't make out the lyrics or melody. Then, when I realized which song it is, I could "hear" it clearly on the second listen.

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

@cynthiaforsythe8989

I agree! Paul put so much into the others’ songs.

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."

I had guessed that one correctly due to the Baroque sounding. I had already known that bit of trivia from being such an avid watcher of any Beatle related docs, and books.

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

I guessed Hey Jude but with very little confidence, and when David said For No One, I thought that sounded at least as believable and usually when that's the case, it means he's right and I'm wrong. But not this time I guess lol

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!)

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.

I don't recognise it but i think your mother should know ...

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

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

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

I love these

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 😊

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

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

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

1:00 Woah Moog Synthesizer isolated is beautiful

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

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

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

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.

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!

Please do second parts for every instrument!

Kool vid @ the end

Missed 5 of them but proud I knew “Something “

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

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

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

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.

I got them all but Hey Jude got me scratching my head for a minute

Some of these threw me for sure.

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

Yes. To me it's all more early 70s than late 60s.

all quite easy yes well done

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

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

i got the exact same score as you!

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! 😅

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.

Easier than the drum quiz and the bass quiz.

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.

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)

10/12

He has the answers in front of him for all we know

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.

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

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.

I got all of them except You Won’t See Me. Quite pleased with this one. 11/12

That was fun! I got 6.

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.

I think the bass in #4 gives it away.

I was pretty confident the penultimate song 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

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

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...

A day in the life also uses that progression.

I got 7 of these!

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

I was positive that was For No One too!

I didn’t do too badly surprisingly. Not 100% though. Much easier than the other quizzes. I think it is because the keyboard instruments really seem to stand out to me in Beatles songs.

Oooh I got 10/12 - number 10 was really hard!

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

Feels odd now that I knew a lot of these originally as just pop songs like all the other pop songs (Early GenX here, my stepDad bought a Rubber Soul cassette in the early-mid 70s). My stepMum actually saw the Beatles with her big sister. And now they're THE BEATLES.

8/12 too

Got 5/12

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

I got one. This was the hardest one yet for me. You got eight. Well done you

Song 10 was fiendish- I got it mixed up with a George song in the same key from the Revolver album. DANG!

11/12, not bad!
