Wow, so John goes from singing the low notes to the highest. Thats incredible

I don't usually post comments on videos but I must say that there might be a lot of people that knows a lot about The Beatles but what you do is out of this world, it takes passion, a lot of different skills and insane, insane, hard work. Thanks a lot for sharing with the world.

LuchoGuibert My pleasure and thanks a lot if you wish to share on your side as well :)

Another rare example of John singing higher than Paul (you-u-uuuuu...)

Early Beatles had the best harmonies for the most part. Or at least they showcased it more often. I think it had to do with the way in which they recorded then with more live harmonizing. It seemed more organic in the early days. Later on a lot of it got obscured with production and experimental vocal techniques (particularly more falsettos) and the splitting up of the group into individual songwriters. Of course the best vocal harmonies they managed to put onto wax come on their last album (Because, Sun King), which was a grand culmination. Gotta love the Beatles!

Brilliant! I am gobsmacked! I didn't know your work before. This is SO useful and isightful - being a Beatles fan since day one myself. (I am now 66 and rode my push-bike from Osterley to Heathrow to see the Beatles arrive back from their first American tour)Thanks for making this, its one of my favourite Beatles tracks.

After watching this three times and getting out my stereo and mono versions, I just want to say your work on this is extraordinary! Just incredible! One thing that always puzzled me with this song is that for the 25 years I've listened to it, is that it always seemed as if Paul was just a tiny bit off key (especially during the bridge). Several years ago I wanted to play Paul's melody on the piano to just see how it sounded... so I did, and he wasn't off key, so I couldn't figure this out. But at the time I was typically playing along with the recording with a guitar using chords I found online. It dawned on me that the recording has both the bass and guitar playing this ostinato melody for much of the song, so reducing it to simple guitar chords is not going to contain the full tonal flavor. So I decided to figure out this bass part (and I remember cursing while doing so because it seemed like there were way too many different notes-and unlike say, the bass for All My Loving, the Hold Me Tight bass part sometimes sounded like it was written for a different song!) One note used throughout the bass, the Ab, seemed very unusual (for a song in F anyway)..why put a flat-III in the bass/guitar counter melody?? I think McCartney liked the unusual dissonance... considering F has an A natural in its scale, you get ample dissonance (or an inference of dissonance) with that Ab note playing in this counter-melody... [Plus, if they weren't enough, the song is never really tonically relieved/resolved during the whole thing!] I thought maybe that's why everything sounded a tiny bit strange. But I learned from your video that Paul had a bad cold... maybe this affected the timbre of his voice. But who knows? Do you ever think Paul's vocal sounds slightly unusual? In any event, it's a technically complex and sophisticated song in a lot of ways...there are so many interesting details going on! Thanks again for your awesome video!

Before I watch your videos, I just knew The Beatles were great about vocal harmonies (and everything all). Now, I am absolutely sure about that! Great videos and Great explanations!

You are absolutely amazing! Not only do you break down all the vocal parts but you actually sing them damn near PERFECT! Hell, you even look a little bit like Paul McCartney. The most impressive part was when you played back YOUR 3 vocal part without the music and the harmonies were so perfect they actually phased without an effects box where they sounded like a barber shop quartet. Now we all know just how much Freddie Mercury and Queen were influenced by The Beatles. I've watched the video here on KZread where Brian May is in the studio isolating the multi-layered vocals and breakdown for Bohemian Rapsody and the vocals naturally phased on that track they same way they did for you! Just incredible! You are amazingly gifted!!! Hold Me Tight is one of my favorite Beatles tunes. I mainly play bass and drums but just a little amature guitar just so I can do some multi-track work on my Tascam 8-track. I don't currently have a band and multi-tracking is a great way to keep up my skills. I've always sang backup in my cover bands back in the 80's but am experimenting with multi-track singing as well. You are the HOLY GRAIL of vocal instruction for The Beatles. One more thing. Even though this is really early Beatles music, Hold Me Tight is one of the most challenging bass lines Paul created. It's just a constant non-stop chugging away that wears you down quickly even using alternate picking. Paul is the most brilliant and under rated bass player ever!

Not only does he break down the vocal parts - but take notice of all the knowledge that he has garnered through his own research to explain his videos: e.g. specific track numbers & c. (I would regard his a Beatle scholar in his own right.)

Wow man, I admire you...never stop posting videos, you're one of the best in You Tube. \thank you !

That was amazing. I always knew that Hold me Tight was a really difficult song to sing with all those harmonies, plus watching the studio takes by the Beatles proved that. Watching this was just so fascinating. Thank you.

One reviewer described this song as a throwaway. Au contraire I have always thought of it as a favourite on this album. And love the chunky rhythm guitar which I suspect was double tracked.

How bizarre this happened, because only the other day I was watching the old version, alongside the original song and I was thinking 'yeah actually Paul sings a slightly different and lower vocal to what you put in the first video' (although I still thought it was great and I'm glad it's finally uploaded!). In fact, I was gonna direct you to the older takes which are available on KZread, but you've found them lol! Given The Beatles being prone to go over and under each other harmony wise (which shows their brilliance), I do agree that's how it was made; i.e. varying from take-to-take. I personally like to keep it simple: George lower vocal, Paul mid/lead and John higher vocal :). Thanks as always for putting this, alongside your other epic videos :D.

I'm SO IMPRESSED by ;your scholarly devotion to getting it right! I have an audition coming up and this inspired me SO! Mille gracie!

I can't get enough of your videos! Wonderful

Genius work. Thank you so much!

I watch and listen to your videos and every time I listen to them again I find something new, but the way you work them never ceases to amaze me, it is a delight to listen to you ....

I just got done writing a comment on another recent voodoo saying I missed your verbal commentaries... Unfortunately, I had not yet watched this video, so I was thrilled to get your analysis here (and the fact that you missed something in your first version makes me feel like your experience and analysis/breakdown are truly for the Beatles nerds (or Beatards) who want to get it perfect or identical (or learn something we didn't know)). Cheers to you for wanting to post only that which you believe is your absolute best dissection and and analysts based on your ear and any historical knowledge you have accumulated over the years. So again, thank you for this commentary.. It adds so much enjoyment to the overall understanding of the song! It made my day!

Bless you, brother. Sometimes I think this is my favorite Beatles song. And always I think that the harmonies on the chorus ("and it's my mind . . . .' ) are astonishing. They are moving way past the (fantastic) Everly Brothers. And, as always, your lucid and precise explanations, and your gorgeous and exact singing, are a joy. I salute you.

Your Beatles knowledge is just amazing!!!

An excellent breakdown of the harmonies!

Excellent work Mr Frudua! Thanks a lot for your effort! We just look a 10 min video but I know you have to work many hours in order to post your work! I really appreciate it. Just want to say that I've been enjoying the Beatles' songs all my life and of course I love 'em. However, watching your videos have made me hear the songs with another perspective and made me listen to details that I've never heard before. Thanks a lot! And please continue with your tutorials! Best regards!

All I can say is......BRILLIANT!!!! And...thank you for this post...well done...

Mr Beatles master you are

Galeazzo Frudua ruuuules! Fooorzaaa!

I myself sing a slightly different harmony, when listening to the song, which sort of slots between the "George" vocal and Paul's lead. This is particularly the case on the "It's you, you you..." part: starting from F then moving down to C, which adds to the vocal colour :). For the "So/Now Hold Me Tight" parts I start from F, but unlike "George" I go up to B flat, again adding a vocal colour. Then finally, for the ending, I complete the harmony by moving from G#-G-F, which works well against Paul's and John's vocals. This is just a suggestion for people who want to cover the song, who either want a fourth harmony or feel "John's" vocals are too high etc. Anyway, gracias et ciao Galezzo :)

muy buenooo

You should do PS I love you! I could never figure that one out

Excellent job capturing their harmonies. However, I believe the word jumble the the first line is that one of them sings, "It feels so right now" and the other sings, "It feels now right so". As you pointed out John had likely forgotten the exact lyric. My best...

Great videos and great career too!, Thanks for all the work in your channel, you're amazing Mr Frudua! I have a proyect with my friends, to make a LP-Length album of Beatles covers, and i'm pretty sure that from the 15 playslist we made, at least for 10 songs, we are going to use your videos for the harmonies, and just me, for singing in general, and the rest of them don't have harmonies at all (i'm looking through you, just have a very little part, we already figure it out), so i think that this channel is definitely very complete This is a way to thank you, you're work here, is very aprecciated Just for knowledge, there is a specific reason for using one take for the mono mix, and another for stereo? This is also noted on the stereo version of "Please, Please Me" when John Laughs, or "If i fell" the "cracked" verse Again, Thank You very much :)

Hello! first of all, thank you very much for you class of harmonies. I follow you a long time ago. I would like to know how i can sing this song with only two voices. Maybe combining the voices of george and john? With my band we want to sing it to two voices but we do not know how. I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me. Thank You!

@@Davi-yj2ht I read it several places. But you can quickly find it in the Wikipedia explanation ... They call it 'varispeeded up'. "Hold Me Tight" was composed principally by Paul McCartney in 1961, and was part of the Beatles' stage act until 1963.[2][3] They attempted to record it for their debut Please Please Me but the 13 takes recorded were deemed unsatisfactory, and the tape was destroyed. Seven months later, they recorded a further nine takes, and the final version is an edit of the sixth and ninth takes from the second attempt, varispeeded up a semitone to F major." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_Me_Tight Every source tells us Paul's singing was off key, there was no bass guitar in the recording, neither Paul nor John liked the song, they considered it just an album filler. Here's another source: www.beatlesbible.com/songs/hold-me-tight/ 9 takes, recorded 12September 1963. George Martin varispeeded it up from E to F on 30September1963.

Porque no parecen las voces de Paul y John en ese tema y lo escuché montón de veces ya , en algunas partes si parece Paul pero después no parecen ellos

This sounds like a simple song at first...but just try to get all of those parts together and it gets quite complicated.

You can not tell the Masters how to play their own music.

Thanks for adding the a capella version at the end. Your voice(s) never sounded sweeter.
