I thought John was double tracked during the verse Could swear it is only John's voice .... Gosh, Paul has the amazing ability to imitate John !! Thanks, Man !
Gergena got this right. Verse: John double tracks and harmonizes himself, Middle eight: John lower part, Paul harmonizes the upper part. Gorge sings only some minor backing vocals in this. A great piece, and thank you Frudua! (BTW: This song was originally ment to a "Ringo song" of the Beatles For Sale, but obviosly John changed his mind. The song is composed mainly by John, with the help of Paul (maybe 80/20).
I agree with your assessment that it is John doing both tracks. Although unusual to do, we see Paul do this on many tracks, so it's not unheard of. Also, at this time, John was clearly leading the group in 1964, pretty much doing everything that year. I get that Paul can imitate John's voice, but knowing their voices well, you can tell that it is John's voice on both tracks without Paul until the refrain.
Yes you are 100% correct, Gee's you just have to listen to it and you can honestly here its John singing the main vocal and overdubs the lower one, its not rocket science. Then Paul comes in on the, (Though to night she"s made me sad) and sings higher harmony. come on just do it u know, do it right yap yap. as JL would say.
As an American teenager living in Rome in the early 60's, I was fortunate to experience many wonderful things - The Beatles at Teatro Adriano in 1965, the fervor of Italian Beatles fans (complete with their John Lennon caps & glasses), and Equipe 84. Your UA-cam channel shows that that early love for the Beatles never died and their can sustain us through the corona virus, because all you need is love. Great videos!!!
Thank you Fradua Galeazzo for all of these Beatle's vocal breakdowns, listening to them brings us a new dimention (new to me, anyway) to their music and the kind of musical performance team that they were. Having sung in choirs for most my (now gone) youth, I can only appreciate that much more what you are doing here; all my kudos to you, Fradua.
Exactly right! Paul had this incredible ability to blend, to the point where you have to really strain to distinguish his voice from other backing singers in guest spots (Mellow Yellow - Donovan).
@ mickavellian it often happens for artists to be protective about their original muscial ideas. I grew up with the Let it be version and I personally love it but I dig Paul getting angry on it. Where all others including legends like Freddie Mercury did cut most of the high notes live, McCartney, is the only person the whole world to be able to sing at his age a full 3 hours concert singing the Beatles songs in the original key and placing in the songs more high notes than there are in the originals. There's no way that the true greatness of McCartney will ever be understood in his total a REAL dimension and importance. In the next centuries he will be reminded like Beethoven or Bach or Mozart for his own hera.
MrSahansdal No, I have never met him... who knows, he's very unreachable. I have to tell you. I have this idea of Paul in mind... He's so busy and unreachable that I think a 2 ninutes "Hi/hi How are you" thing would ruin that... You dig me? :)
The Beatles Vocal Harmony Yes, I do. I would be so nervous I would probably make a fool of myself. Not you. You can channel him, after all. :) I really enjoy your skill at this. Thanks so much. I need to sign up with you. I would love to have had access to these videos when we played these songs in 'The Betas' in Santa Cruz, CA, 1966-68. Best times of my life. Performing is great fun. We had no idea how good they actually were, of course. You covered this song two years ago, right?
The Beatles Vocal Harmony Remember, though, I was 12 when we started in 1965. My voice hadn't even changed yet! My wife is talking about a trip to Italy, Turin area included. Is that where you are? It would be great to meet you. I want to see Florence again, too. I loved Italy. The climate here in the San Francisco area is the same.
Galeazzo, I've been a Beatles fan since I was 2 (49 now) but I never fully appreciated the complexity and magnificence of their harmonies until I found your site! I am more in awe of The Beatles than ever after listening to you break down their harmonies. I don't know how you do it, but please keep doing it, you have an amazing ear my friend! Grazie!!!
This just incredible Galeazzo !!! You have chosen the perfect song to illustrate how great the Beatle harmonies were. Their vocal harmonies are just incomparable and this is what separates them from most other groups. Thank you Galeazzo for your excellent breakdown.
This song is perfection. From the vocals, especially the harmonies and the extremes of high/low range, the guitar work (John and George) and the lyrics...makes you glad to be alive to have this in it.
I also adore this song! Have you guys ever noticed how country-sounding this song is? I don't like country music, but the Beatles were very much influenced by American country/western/blues styles. It pops up frequently throughout their sing writing careers. But I noticed it on "I Don't Want To Spoil the Party" when I was adding a 3rd harmony. When I do a 3rd harmony part, I often hear more of the country structure in the chord progressions and rhythms. They just sing them a bit faster, like Elvis sped up the Blues, imitating some early black singers who really created rock and roll.
I haven't watched one of you're videos in a couple years. I am glad to see they are available. You always give new and different takes on the Beatles songs.
como disfruto con tus harmonías!, qué gusto saber música así!, gracias...qué buen oído tienes!, eres la única persona con la que disfruto oyendo Beatles....después de ellos, claro!!😆
The Beatles grabaron la canción el 29 de septiembre de 1964 en 19 tomas, la última de todas fue la que usaron para el álbum.1Es una de las pocas canciones en The Beatles donde Paul McCartney hace la voz baja, mientras que Lennon hace la alta, sin embargo, en el estribillo vuelven a intercambiar, haciendo la baja Lennon y la alta McCartney, dándole a la canción una particular importancia. Otros ejemplos de cuando Lennon hace la armonía alta y McCartney la baja es en Hey Bulldog y Come Together.
This is wonderful - They were geniuses for creating the vocals that they did and you are a genius for figuring them out. Good lord - what an undertaking. Thank You ! So Cool !
Great job, Galeazzo! I confirmed the lower part of the verse is Paul. I think his characteristics are well represented in the part of "so I'll go" or "to show". Thank you.
love your videos. As a singer and member of a family of musical people from Appalachia, harmonies are fused to my ears and I hear them always. But sometimes the breakdown isnt so easy. Everyone with a working brain likes the Beatles but their harmonies and vocal musicality are often overlooked. Thank you sir.
Absolutely fantastic work - Thanks you so much for all the time you take - but it's defiantly John singing the lower harmony with himself in the verse - they did have 4 tracks.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. You have no idea how many times I've listened to so many of your videos and I'm grateful for the analysis you've done and shared with all of us, and I enjoy listening to your own beautiful voice cover these fantastic songs :)
Might I say this to you my good man. You too have the ability to sound like Paul and easily morph into John's vocal sound too. I'm sure this also took a lot of work and practice in order for you to do this. Congratulation as you've got it down !!!!
I have done both John's part and Paul's part several times on Smule. This song is also very special to me, mainly because I lived it. But I was the girl. And yes, he found me, but the circumstances were a bit more complicated than that. But it was a happy ending in the short term. VERY special song.
@@arely4483 Certainly not. I'm far too young and live in a different country. I said I lived the song, not that I was the girl in the song. The same situation happened to me in my own life, my own teenage life in the United States in the 1970's. I'm sorry that was misleading. That was not intentional.
Paul goes up to the high part because John's voice was getting strained! It was near the end of the session when they recorded this so Paul covered the high part in the refrain!(by the way, I did a Beatles tribute band in the 1980's doing Paul.
It's a duet by John and George. And probably was written by both Lennon and Harrison. as standard credit it's indicated as a Lennon - McCartney composition.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have taught me so much about harmonies and unravelled a few mysteries for me. And what better subject than the brilliant Beatles! My favourite band. You have made a terrible singer like me slightly less terrible. You are a wonderful talent and I thank you for all your time and effort into your great videos. Any one who loves the Beatles as much as you do is a friend of mine. Cheers James
I just heard this song the remastered version of the song. There was debate in the comments about the low harmony on the verses so I had to jump over here to get the expert's take. Most were saying it was either double-tracked John or George on the low part. I didn't think it was George and I still find it hard to believe it's Paul. I don't doubt Paul's ability to mimic John, since he uses lots of different voices in his songs. What I can't figure out is why the band would do it that way. John was known to double-track, so why wouldn't he just sing the low part himself in a second track? That's what I don't get. Why would Paul mimic John in a part he was perfectly capable of singing himself? The high harmony, I believe, would've been hard for John; but not the low harmony.
piggly-wiggly Maybe they liked to mess with people’s heads? The verse is not so high that John can’t sing it (unlike say If I Fell). There’s very few songs in the early days they didn’t both or with George all sing. Can’t Buy Me Love is one. All My Loving another. (Paul does both high and low on the record.) Paul probably didn’t want to sing high harmony again so just sang low. Chorus is a bit high for John so they swapped.
Your correct. The assertion from this expert is wrong. I've been listening to this since a kid in 1970s and Ive never listened to it as closely as I do today. The second vocal is John. He sings both parts. It ain't Paul.
I just received 2 responses from 2 of the best Beatles tribute bands ....1964 & Rain...both of which proved me and Galeazzo incorrect.....According to them it is John and George on the verse and of course we both agree it's John and Paul in the middle....Those tribute bands responses closes the query for me...
Wow! Sometime last year i sat down in a room with my headphones meticulously scrutinized the song to finally determine once and for all who sang what. My conclusion was similar to yours except that I thought john sang low harmony on the verse and then dubbed in himself singing high harmony. But after watching this video I went back and you're right that definitely is Paul singing a la John. You are an excellent, very talented musician and musical historian keep doing what you're doing! Saludos de Mexico!
Fernando Domene Thanks a lot Fernando as I say in the video Paul has the ability to morph his voice into John's one amazingly. There's nothing McCartney can't do with his voice.
You're absolutely right about Paul's ability to emulate John's vocals. In Eight Days A Week, I'm convinced they're both singing in unison, but their voices are so close, it sounds like a singular voice and it's almost impossible to hear Paul. Of course, Paul did a great Lennon impression on Let Me Roll It too.
And another top job by you Mr Frudua! I always used to think that the earlier Beatles songs were simple, and the later ones from Sgt Pepper onwards were really more complex. But that does not do justice to the brilliance of the harmonies of the earlier songs like this one. One thing I'd *love* you to do one day is a breakdown of an Everly Brothers song like All I Have To Do Is Dream. This would be a great way to hear how much they influenced the Beatles' singing. Thanks again!
Although I believe that John was the real "heart and soul" of The Beatles, McCartney was in a strong second place. I've seen him live twice live, in 2012, and last October, 2014, in Jacksonville, Florida, and both have been amazing concerts. Btw, your tutorials are great, since you dissect the Beatles harmonies in a way such that even those of us with many years of musical background can learn something new about their musical arrangements. Ausgezeichnet Mr. Frudua!!!
thank you for another lovely thoughtful job. I always also enjoyed this song because it sounded so much like a Buddy Holly song, I thought John perhaps had written it that way on purpose.
An enjoyable song to record. Personally I found Paul's part "Though tonight she made me sad..." a high key challenge (as is often the case with Paul)... and surprisingly even one of John's notes was tricky "..." so I will 'disappear'... " But I cheated and double tracked them to make them sound better!
I have listened to this song a thousands times and one of my all time favourite Beatle songs. I truly believe John is doing both vocals in the verse. You can tell its Johns diction and tone which Paul cant imitate. Sorry Fradua.
Gale is right, Paul mimics John, the way you can is some of Paul's 'S' sounds are kind of pronounced as a slight 'sh', this can be heard on a lot of songs. Paul doesn't always sing the letter S that cleanly. That's my interpretation
Wooowww. Another great video from a great musician again. Mr Frudua I think you ought to make contact with Paul and Ringo and you should demonstrate the videos to them I mean they've the right to know such an impeccable musician like you. But my favorite is your rendition of can't buy me love. I mean everyone can play guitar and sing but a few people can recreate the song. Greetings from Turkey, Enes
Enes Altinok Hi Enes, thanks for all your compliments but actually that is not my idea but an arrangement created by Paul anyway I am glad you appreciated! I dont think Paul or Ringo will ever get in touch... sure for me it's too hard to reach them :)
Hey I really find your videos helpful. I wanted to let you know something you may not know and why this song is famous. It is the flip side to the 45 of eight days a week.
Btw, I don't know if you have ever heard of Tilo Wolff, a talented German composer-singer (Goth Rock genre). His music is very eclectic, from the harmonies of Call Me With the Voice of Love, to Crucifixio. Nice blend of Rock and Classical music.
Lo siento, pero I don't want to spoil the party es uno de los raros dúos entre John y George. Paul se une en los coros. De todas formas, haz hecho un buen trabajo.
Hi I am really impressed with your versatility in singing the numerous vocals of the Beatles. Their harmonies, double-tracking and backgrounds are the cornerstone of the Fab Four. Have you ever tried the harmony to the 1973 Ringo Starr version of I'm The Greatest? Which reunited Ringo, John and George along with longtime friends Billy Preston on keyboards and Klaus Voorman on Bass. The harmonies between Ringo and John were quite amazing.
Thank you so much. I have a channel, but I don't know my voice type. They say I'm between low tenor to high baritone. If you like come check out my channel. I specialize in reviewing movies. Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays to you.
The Beatles Vocal Harmony These videos are so great! Would you ever consider doing "The Zombies" or "The Beach Boys" or others? Thank for all the videos they are a treasure!
Hey Gale! I was wondering if you would do a harmony video about Tell Me What You See. I think there's a beautiful harmony in there, but it's up to you :)
Galeazzo, I just listened Strawberry Fields Forever in Mono for the first time (all the time I listened stereo version) and I like mono better in this one, but something's confusing me. I like very much drumming in the chorus of stereo version, but in mono version sounds different, not that powerful. Did they maybe put another drum track on mono version or what ?
Jesse Pinkman Think to the drum as a sum of parts each of them containing an amount of sound pressure and volume. If you stack all of them one over the other you get 100% of volume (mono version all at 12o'clock). If you divide them and place them in a stereo pan in different positions, you still have quite the same volume but the sound impact (pressure) is splitted in multiple parts and get lost. This is why a lot of us prefers the impact of the mono versions. :)
what apened whit the other video of this song, is this new? i prefer the other one =( but youre a completly master i know PD: sorry for my writing im mexican, youre great!!
Ciao Gale, grande lavoro come sempre, complimenti !! Vorrei chiederti come hai fatto ha capire che l'armonia bassa sia opera di Paul. Hai sicuramente un orecchio migliore del mio, perchè per quanto mi sforzi non riesco proprio a distinguere la voce del Macca, addirittura penso che se tu avessi la possibilità di chiederglielo, avrebbe dei dubbi anche lui !!! Non mi fraintendere, non metto in dubbio ciò che affermi ma vorrei solo capire se hai usato qualche strumentazione o lo hai letto su qualche libro, o più semplicemente hai un orecchio musicale eccezionalmente sviluppato. Un caro saluto, sei il migliore !!! Andrea
Guido lavespa Ciao Guido, mi sono basato sull'ascolto di alcune silabe specialmente nelle note basse che Paul canta e in cui il timbro è inequivocabilmente il suo (there/her nella seconda strofa per esempio :)
Ah! Ok, my suspicions were correct , Paul CAN do Lennon as well as Lennon can do Lennon. Again as Phil Spector screamed to an up & coming singer when the singer complained of a particular difficult passage by saying "Not even Paul McCartney can do that"; Sweet , little Spector went into his rage "Fucking Paul McCartney can do whatever the fuck Paul McCartney wants to do with his Fucking voice!!! Funny part is that Paul wasn't crazy about Spector & Spector was on the war path with Macca. "The long and winding road" that was given to Spector was shit,(, Ian MacDonald described it as "atrocious" to the point of sabotage), After all the wall of sound shit , it became the song we know, but Paul always seemed to be embarrassed of what The Beatles left on tape(SHIT) , SO the LET IT BE NAKED version of "Long & winding Road" was a complete re-recording where Paul played most of the instruments. Even at that level of a pissing contest Spector considered Paul the BEST singer ever. On this one Sir Macca was a bit of a hypocrite , because he HATED what Spector had done with Let it be. BUT he was the one who showed up to get the Oscar for best soundtrack. AND STILL Spector respected his talent.
I disagree they did duets when they were younger per se. Maybe once or twice. Also, I cannot support that opinion of who sings what. Paul is in the verse doubling the higher with John. If not, then why is the "switch" in the 2nd part so seamless in the lower? Because it's John. PS, love your work, follow and enjoy it all the time.
Marks countless Barks Well that's the amazing of the web and of these lesson the continue interaction with other people that kindly presents their opinions as you did :) I appreciate thank you!

Not only coronavirus, but hope through many other challenges
I've never heard it as John and Paul. I've always heard George singing with John, that's what I loved about the song.
you are correct. George does sing a minor part on this.
I never heard George’s voice! Paul’s screaming vocals are unmistakable.
George sings low vocal through out the main parts. When it goes to “Though tonight she’s made me sad” it is Paul on High Vocals
Thank you Fradua Galeazzo for all of these Beatle's vocal breakdowns, listening to them brings us a new dimention (new to me, anyway) to their music and the kind of musical performance team that they were.

I love it that the Beatles never sang the verses the same. Always one or two small variations that made them the artists that they were.
This just incredible Galeazzo !!! You have chosen the perfect song to illustrate how great the Beatle harmonies were. Their vocal harmonies are just incomparable and this is what separates them from most other groups. Thank you Galeazzo for your excellent breakdown.

I just received 2 responses from 2 of the best Beatles tribute bands ....1964 & Rain...both of which proved me and Galeazzo incorrect.....According to them it is John and George on the verse and of course we both agree it's John and Paul in the middle....Those tribute bands responses closes the query for me...
***** :)
You had another version of this previously? It wasn't as complete as this, but - for me - it was easier to follow and I learned more from it.
Wow! Sometime last year i sat down in a room with my headphones meticulously scrutinized the song to finally determine once and for all who sang what. My conclusion was similar to yours except that I thought john sang low harmony on the verse and then dubbed in himself singing high harmony. But after watching this video I went back and you're right that definitely is Paul singing a la John. You are an excellent, very talented musician and musical historian keep doing what you're doing! Saludos de Mexico!
Fernando Domene Thanks a lot Fernando as I say in the video Paul has the ability to morph his voice into John's one amazingly. There's nothing McCartney can't do with his voice.
Me too i really love this early beatle song..
Galeazzo, the Lower key sounds a lot like George’s voice. Wouldn’t be him?

You're absolutely right about Paul's ability to emulate John's vocals. In Eight Days A Week, I'm convinced they're both singing in unison, but their voices are so close, it sounds like a singular voice and it's almost impossible to hear Paul. Of course, Paul did a great Lennon impression on Let Me Roll It too.
elvisleeboy Right another good example and Paul's takes advantage of this ability he has especially when he sings in harmony with John :)
Amazing Sir...claps for you
Cheers from Perú...
You do a brilliant job on this. Thank you so much.
And another top job by you Mr Frudua! I always used to think that the earlier Beatles songs were simple, and the later ones from Sgt Pepper onwards were really more complex. But that does not do justice to the brilliance of the harmonies of the earlier songs like this one.
One thing I'd *love* you to do one day is a breakdown of an Everly Brothers song like All I Have To Do Is Dream. This would be a great way to hear how much they influenced the Beatles' singing. Thanks again!
Although I believe that John was the real "heart and soul" of The Beatles, McCartney was in a strong second place. I've seen him live twice live, in 2012, and last October, 2014, in Jacksonville, Florida, and both have been amazing concerts. Btw, your tutorials are great, since you dissect the Beatles harmonies in a way such that even those of us with many years of musical background can learn something new about their musical arrangements. Ausgezeichnet Mr. Frudua!!!
thank you for another lovely thoughtful job. I always also enjoyed this song because it sounded so much like a Buddy Holly song, I thought John perhaps had written it that way on purpose.
An enjoyable song to record. Personally I found Paul's part "Though tonight she made me sad..." a high key challenge (as is often the case with Paul)... and surprisingly even one of John's notes was tricky "..." so I will 'disappear'... " But I cheated and double tracked them to make them sound better!
Tremendous tutorial. Thanks so much for posting. You have a great voice.
Love his voice
Actually John sings both the low and high harmonies in the verse. Paul joins on the refrain with the high Harmony.
❤ this amazing song! Thank you
I have listened to this song a thousands times and one of my all time favourite Beatle songs. I truly believe John is doing both vocals in the verse. You can tell its Johns diction and tone which Paul cant imitate. Sorry Fradua.
+Sergio Calvaresi You bet Paul can ;)
You are the Master!!! verry good...
Gale is right, Paul mimics John, the way you can is some of Paul's 'S' sounds are kind of pronounced as a slight 'sh', this can be heard on a lot of songs. Paul doesn't always sing the letter S that cleanly. That's my interpretation
Yes another Great harmony. Excellent video Galeazzo!
GamersUnited Grazie :)
how i sing high vocals???
Just found this. Brilliant
really great track, its a very interesting dynamic with pauls mind in the lower vocals
rickenbacker40011 yeah!
1:18 You are a funny cat! I am re-learning the vocal part for our next show on Sunday.
Wow. I though I was picky about the details. You've got a great ear, my friend. Excellent videos.
Wooowww. Another great video from a great musician again.
Mr Frudua I think you ought to make contact with Paul and Ringo and you should demonstrate the videos to them I mean they've the right to know such an impeccable musician like you.
But my favorite is your rendition of can't buy me love.
I mean everyone can play guitar and sing but a few people can recreate the song.
Greetings from Turkey,
Enes
Enes Altinok Hi Enes, thanks for all your compliments but actually that is not my idea but an arrangement created by Paul anyway I am glad you appreciated! I dont think Paul or Ringo will ever get in touch... sure for me it's too hard to reach them :)
Excellent tutorial, you have great tone!
Hey I really find your videos helpful. I wanted to let you know something you may not know and why this song is famous. It is the flip side to the 45 of eight days a week.
Your an inspiration
Btw, I don't know if you have ever heard of Tilo Wolff, a talented German composer-singer (Goth Rock genre). His music is very eclectic, from the harmonies of Call Me With the Voice of Love, to Crucifixio. Nice blend of Rock and Classical music.
ZeitZuGehenMusik Oh no sorry!
absolutely amazing... great job collega!
florian287 Danke Flo!
John and Paul sang like brothers.
Good work Gale. You sure took care of that confusion.
elirosen1391 Yeah!
Wow! I've always thought that all the higher vocals were sung by Paul!!
elcaifo :)
Lo siento, pero I don't want to spoil the party es uno de los raros dúos entre John y George. Paul se une en los coros. De todas formas, haz hecho un buen trabajo.
Juan Jesus Carandell Mifsut oh no Sir :)
The Beatles Vocal Harmony he's right.
Hi I am really impressed with your versatility in singing the numerous vocals of the Beatles. Their harmonies, double-tracking and backgrounds are the cornerstone of the Fab Four. Have you ever tried the harmony to the 1973 Ringo Starr version of I'm The Greatest? Which reunited Ringo, John and George along with longtime friends Billy Preston on keyboards and Klaus Voorman on Bass. The harmonies between Ringo and John were quite amazing.
Eric Ryder Mmhh I admit I didn't think about it!
Thank you so much. I have a channel, but I don't know my voice type. They say I'm between low tenor to high baritone. If you like come check out my channel. I specialize in reviewing movies. Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays to you.
Eric Ryder To you as well Eric!
Hi, Galeazzo The Beatles Vocal Harmony... I'm from Brazil and I would suggest you to produce the video of the song " You Should Mother to Know "
Hugs
Aquino Baixo yeah!
fantastica scuola Galeazzo!!! A quando l'analisi di qualche brano di George
Ciao Amedeo ce ne sono nel canale, dai un'occhiata.
Rene I'll make a video about it :)
I have done Soud of Silence search it on youtube :)
The Beatles Vocal Harmony These videos are so great! Would you ever consider doing "The Zombies" or "The Beach Boys" or others?
Thank for all the videos they are a treasure!
Hey Gale! I was wondering if you would do a harmony video about Tell Me What You See. I think there's a beautiful harmony in there, but it's up to you :)
Jannis -Lastname- Will do asap!
Who was the person who initially requested this...? (Me, and THANK YOU!!!)
Galeazzo, I just listened Strawberry Fields Forever in Mono for the first time (all the time I listened stereo version) and I like mono better in this one, but something's confusing me. I like very much drumming in the chorus of stereo version, but in mono version sounds different, not that powerful. Did they maybe put another drum track on mono version or what ?
Jesse Pinkman Think to the drum as a sum of parts each of them containing an amount of sound pressure and volume. If you stack all of them one over the other you get 100% of volume (mono version all at 12o'clock). If you divide them and place them in a stereo pan in different positions, you still have quite the same volume but the sound impact (pressure) is splitted in multiple parts and get lost. This is why a lot of us prefers the impact of the mono versions. :)
fruda thanks thaks :)
How did the Beatles write so many amazing songs? The world may never know.
Ryan692 I know this. I discovered that a few months ago. I am going to open a site and sell it ;)
The Beatles Vocal Harmony :O no Way!!
They were geniuses musically
Awesome!
hello mate pls make "Free as a bird" harmonics, is one of my favorite tunes.
cheers man cool job.
SGT Pimienta Good idea!
I remember, that there was another Vocal Harmony Lesson for I don't want to spoil the party. hmm
Is this final version ?
Dzqnn Yes!
what apened whit the other video of this song, is this new? i prefer the other one =( but youre a completly master i know PD: sorry for my writing im mexican, youre great!!
Sorry but John did both harmonies on the verse, with Paul doing high harmonies for the chorus.
Fantastic!!
I recently bought The Beatles mono in Vinyl....
How can I possibly listen and identify these details?
Søren Mathiesen You need to practice your ear!
Ciao Gale, grande lavoro come sempre, complimenti !! Vorrei chiederti come hai fatto ha capire che l'armonia bassa sia opera di Paul. Hai sicuramente un orecchio migliore del mio, perchè per quanto mi sforzi non riesco proprio a distinguere
la voce del Macca, addirittura penso che se tu avessi la possibilità di chiederglielo, avrebbe dei dubbi anche lui !!!
Non mi fraintendere, non metto in dubbio ciò che affermi ma vorrei solo capire se hai usato qualche strumentazione o lo
hai letto su qualche libro, o più semplicemente hai un orecchio musicale eccezionalmente sviluppato.
Un caro saluto, sei il migliore !!!
Andrea
Guido lavespa Ciao Guido, mi sono basato sull'ascolto di alcune silabe specialmente nelle note basse che Paul canta e in cui il timbro è inequivocabilmente il suo (there/her nella seconda strofa per esempio :)
A couple of writers actually quote George Harrison as the lower harmony and he might as well be.
I'm sorry but your wrong it was George Harrison who sang the low harmony in the verse paul sang the high part on the chorus
Aメロ部分は ジョンのダブルトラックです。ポールがジョンの声真似をして下のボーカルをやっているというのは間違っています。よく確認してネットに上げることを心掛けてください。
I love your videos but I'm going to disagree in one thing, in the verses the two voices belong to John. Great job
You are 100% correct!
Is not George the lower voice?
Mario A. Chacon L No Mario.
+McArtneyify I still hear George. I would love to isolated that armony from the orginal records.
+The Beatles Vocal Harmony I still hear George. I would love to isolated that armony from the orginal records.
Both voices, higher and lower, in verses are Johns, in refrain Paul sings the higher voice, John lower.
George's voice I hear
If i'm not mistaken this is a John-George Song.
***** It's actually John and Paul :)
The Beatles Vocal Harmony
Wow, hmmm...
OutFreak28 yes it's a Lennon MACCA song. Lennon wrote it like a country song for Ringo who loved country.
didnt realize it was a year ago today!!
Great one! But where is that "I Will" guitar lesson? :)
Lmaoism Right have to make this one!
The Beatles Vocal Harmony yes yes
HI !
As allways top, but ...
How do you spell Mr. Moonlight ? ;-))
oppsss ;)
I thought George sang this song.
Ah! Ok, my suspicions were correct , Paul CAN do Lennon as well as Lennon can do Lennon. Again as Phil Spector screamed to an up & coming singer when the singer complained of a particular difficult passage by saying "Not even Paul McCartney can do that"; Sweet , little Spector went into his rage "Fucking Paul McCartney can do whatever the fuck Paul McCartney wants to do with his Fucking voice!!! Funny part is that Paul wasn't crazy about Spector & Spector was on the war path with Macca. "The long and winding road" that was given to Spector was shit,(, Ian MacDonald described it as "atrocious" to the point of sabotage), After all the wall of sound shit , it became the song we know, but Paul always seemed to be embarrassed of what The Beatles left on tape(SHIT) , SO the LET IT BE NAKED version of "Long & winding Road" was a complete re-recording where Paul played most of the instruments. Even at that level of a pissing contest Spector considered Paul the BEST singer ever.
On this one Sir Macca was a bit of a hypocrite , because he HATED what Spector had done with Let it be. BUT he was the one who showed up to get the Oscar for best soundtrack. AND STILL Spector respected his talent.
Love your videos but there is no "s" in equipment.
blkhwkbob Thanks for the correction :)
I disagree they did duets when they were younger per se. Maybe once or twice. Also, I cannot support that opinion of who sings what. Paul is in the verse doubling the higher with John. If not, then why is the "switch" in the 2nd part so seamless in the lower? Because it's John. PS, love your work, follow and enjoy it all the time.
Marks countless Barks Well that's the amazing of the web and of these lesson the continue interaction with other people that kindly presents their opinions as you did :) I appreciate thank you!
Anytime!
Marks countless Barks
Are you saying you think both of them did the high part, together?
Good job! Can you do "I'll be back" and "hey bull dog"?
I moved from Whitmore lake to omaha, and Nebraska is much nicer than Michigan. Thes are already done check them out in this channel :9
The Beatles Vocal Harmony oh sorry. I thought I watched all your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work!
