  • The piano solo from The Beatles' "In My Life. For my video for the full song, click here: • "In My Life" by The Be...
    This solo was played by Beatles producer, George Martin, who also composed the part for the song. Apparently, it was recorded with the song slowed down by 50%, making this fast part easier to play. Here, it's pretty close to being half tempo (a little bit slower, actually). Sheet music can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/0BwVD...
    I transcribed this myself, so send any corrections to the comments below. Thanks!

      At that time, Lennon had not decided what instrument to use in the break, but he subsequently asked George Martin to play a piano solo, suggesting "something Baroque-sounding"

    This melody captures "life essence" I imagine beginning being a child and being happy, second stage struggling as a adult... 3rd stage glimpse of all we accomplished while in this world ... and final keys .... death .

  • @tripleg2513
    @tripleg2513 3 роки тому +2

    if you put it at 2 times speed it sounds like it normally does because when George Martin wrote it, he could't play it at the speed he needed too so he played it at half speed and sped it up.

    At 0:19, rather than holding the E, it should be E-D-E (a trill).

    • @somethingoldish7696
      @somethingoldish7696 3 роки тому +1

      A trill always goes upwards so this would not be a trill. If a trill were being performed, it would be F#-E-F#- E (held), and it does not sound right this way.

    @diegofaz8133 2 роки тому

    Fun fact, George Martin couldn't play the piano solo at the desired speed, so he had to play at half speed and a lower pitch, so when he edited the song he sped up the take and doubled the speed and voila. . He just went at the expected speed and tune of the song.

  • @howard5970
    @howard5970 5 років тому +10

    Just an fyi for everyone, the song was recorded at about this speed, then sped up 2x because George Harrison couldn't play it at the speed you hear in the actual song, so don't be discouraged if you can't play it at the speed the song is played at!
