    Kudos and well done! The fifth Beatle? Also: for those interested in sound reproduction and the Beatles, I highly recommend the Analogues. They are a Dutch Beatle cover band that is obsessive about getting exactly the right sounds, down to buying the exact instruments, strings, effects, microphones, etc. that the Beatles used in the later works. Here's their "I Am the Walrus" kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ1rrsVtg8_OcbA.html&ab_channel=TheAnalogues

    Once it's written, all you have to do is transcribe the notes into a daw, and find instruments that sound similiar to the ones used in the song, and it all magically falls into place. As long as you don't fuck somethng up, it can't possibly go wrong (easier said than done, though). The Beatles wrote a book and David read and then wrote the exact same book. The skill of reading and writing language does not imply the ability to create literature, just as the ability to read and write music does not imply the ability to create music. That's not a perfect analogy, as transcribing music is still much harder than transcribing literature as it's far less exact and does require talent, but it requires a different kind of talent than that of creating music in my opinion.

    I think the glut of major chords is partly why it appeals to children. Parts of the song were inspired by nursery rhymes. It's got some weird Lydian features too, though, and modulations that aren't common in childlike music. It's kind of bizarre how well the "basic" major chords go with all the druggy weirdness to form a catchy tune that's appreciated by a wide range of ages and musical sophistication, when on paper it must have seemed doomed to be a total mess.

    @@DavidBennettPiano Is it really that hard to find decent fan covers of Beatles songs from that period on KZread? As far as I can tell, the performances by Michael Sokil, Mattiboo, Ryohei Kanayama, and Ably House all generally seem very accurate. (Mattiboo in particular puts a *lot* of detail explaining the nuances of the original guitar parts in his video descriptions.) Admittedly, most of those players focus primarily on the guitar, bass, piano, and drums. So they might not be the ideal ones to go to if you want to do an analysis focused on the string parts of I am the Walrus. (Also, on the subject of good KZread performances of IATW, I'd like to recommend the one by danielearwicker.

    Anyone that doesn't recognize the Beatles as masters, this is a good example. It's avante garde when that wasn't even really a thing (certainly not for a pop group), but still incredibly listenable (which most avant garde misses out on). Lyrically mesmerizing but again, still accessible. It's so mind numbingly different than anything then and now but a really great piece of music. I remember as a teenager in the 90's being completely blown away by how weird and different this track sounded from anything else. And if the beatles had never existed, and this track was released today, I don't think it would sound "ultra 60's"... it would still be fresh and weird and amazing.

    Awesome! I have to get my 2 daughters to play together and experiment a bit like this. My 13 yr old is has just finished grade 9 piano Conservatory and the 10 yr old is grade 6 violin. I've had the older one play some jazz, and some pop like Queen, Coldplay... but they both love the Beatles too... I have got them watching your videos to supplement their theory classes. Thanks!

    This is a super great video of your process, I love seeing breakdowns of things like this! I really hate to be critical, but since this is so *very* close there's one thing that stands out to me in the transcription. It's a really easy fix, but I think it would make a huge difference. The main string lead at the start of the song where it goes from holding B to C# then D - The original holds the B for 15 16th pulses, and does a quick 16th C# then up to D at the start of the next bar. In your transcription you have the B held for 13 with the C# being held for 3, and it doesn't have the same punchiness. Really looking forward to the video on this song, I've always loved it and I'm super interested to hear what you have to say about it!

    I worked with George on a couple of occasions (both in the studio and live) and I can confirm he was a thoroughly nice chap. I was quite young and some of my colleagues didn't know who he was or how important he was in popular culture because they all came from a classical background and didn't really listen to pop music. I came from a Beatles mad house so I just stood there in awe mostly.
