George Harrison Asks Billy Preston which chords he's playing #thebeatles #georgeharrison #johnlennon #paulmccartney #ringostarr #getback #rehearsal #billypreston
That's why he(Billy Preston)toured live with the stones for the early 70's first with Mick Taylor then Ron Wood. He was fun and talented. Cool pics of him on Goats Head Soup album art.

@peteespinos2186: Just listened to "Nothing From Nothing" tonight for the first time in years. Hard to believe that it is 50 years old..And it still rocks as fresh as ever!
@@dpeasehead- Lol, I read that song title in Eddie Murphy's voice from his Raw tour where he describes his father singing old Motown songs when he got drunk. 😂
George knew exactly what he was doing when he brought Mr. Preston on board. Billy infused new life into the sessions with his charm, kindness and musical brilliance.
For those who are not familiar, an “E with a C” is actually an E Major chord with a raised 5th note (B#, or C as George calls it) and it’s called an Augmented chord. It’s the exact chord that you hear at the beginning of “Oh Darling!” a year later. The second chord, where George plays an F Major and raised the F to F# is an F# diminished. George would go on to use both of these chords extensively throughout the rest of his career.
@@chrisbennett1243 don't worry about that! My performance degree means nothing when put up against my soul. Just keep playing that thing for as long as you can play that thing!! ✌️🤘
I love these old studio clips. It’s the closest we’ll ever be to being there. I love the candor and spontaneity. Rest in peace George and Billy. Thank you for the music you left us.

@@bobjones8321 it's a bit of a struggle to find a guitar I can handle as I'm a short arsed wheelchair user so I find full size too big (like the dreadnought acoustic my Dad bought me once, bigger than me!

And I'm looking at that boss katana mini amp to go with it.
God I could watch this stuff all day. The behind the scenes, the banter, how they interact in the studio. George messing around on piano and asking Billy this and that. I love this stuff
I ask myself how I lived without these "behind the scenes" all these years. They are so much fun to watch. Sometimes they take me right back to those good old days when we'd be waiting for their next album to be released. Of course, I had to get it on THAT day! Good times. Great memories! 💕✌️
William Everett Preston, born in Houston Texas in 1946. Preston is one of only two non-Beatle musicians to be given a credit on a Beatles recording at the band's request; the group's 1969 single "Get Back" was credited as: "The Beatles with Billy Preston". He continued to record and perform with George Harrison after the Beatles' breakup, along with other artists such as Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones on many of the group's albums and tours during the 1970s. On May 12, 2021, The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame announced that Preston would be lnducted and receive The Musical Excellence Award.
Many considered Preston the "5th Beatle". One of the great keyboard session men of rock. Climbed the chart's with a few of his own singles. His mother was on the Amos and Andy show. He also had a part in "St.Louis Blues" ( little kid ). Preston rendition of George's "My Sweet Lord" the concert for George simply mesmerizing. "Took it to Church".
@PaulJacobs1970 there were 2 others. Anil Bhagwat (tabla on Love You To) and Alan Civil (French horn on For No One). Both received album credit on the back cover of Revolver.
The Beatles lived hard and on the edge and took Life to the limit! That is why no one can touch them and this includes over 50 years and they are still the BEST!!
@@KarenDavis-kx2kl I was surprised that Ringo wasn't there at this recording of old brown shoe. Paul McCartney played drums in this song. All these years I thought Ringo was the drummer.
That’s crap. George said he had to help Paul with 10 of his song before Paul helped him with one of his. It was unwritten between John and Paul they wouldn’t help George too much with his songs…and then George wrote SOMETHING!!!
Billy Preston even the Beatles recognized your talent!! lm 68 and it's painful sometimes when such great musical geniuses leave us!! I hope to see all of you on the other side!! thanks for what you left behind!! ✌️👍😎🌹
George your such a sharp dresser. And I finally heard the sing old brown shoe. I love to watch the FAB FOUR IN THE RECORDING STUDIO PUTTING THERE WORDS AND MUSIC TOGETHER TO MAKE A SONG. THEY ARE SO TALENTED.. LOVE MY FAB FOUR SO MUCH. SUCH A GREAT BAND.❤❤❤❤❤
@@PaulJacobs1970 Play a C chord on piano: C2, C3, C4, E4,G4, then drop the two roots. B2,B3, C4, E4, G4. That's a B/C chord. .John, Paul, and George use this technique is so many of their classic songs.
@@philliphartman2381c e g b , regardless of order is still cmaj7, I think you meant to type c/b? Rather then b/c? It’s still technically as a cmaj7 chord
The 5th Beatle honorific has to go to George Martin for all he contributed! But yes for the Get Back sessions Billy Preston was the 5th band member and he contributed greatly to those sessions, would not have been the same without him.
Billy added so much to this band and really added something different to make them unique. Probably purely by accident but it enhanced their sound. This band had so many transformations which is why they had 21 number one hits. All gems
To me, at the time, the Beatles were magical and mysterious and astounding and glorious. But actually, they were just hard working talented blokes making great art and having fun. It was very like a job to them, but a damned good one. I like my fantasy better, but reality is quite fascinating as well.
The more I watch these short videos of them composing and playing around with sounds, the more I think they are our contemporary Mozarts. It's like the music and the sounds were alive and ringing within themselves.
You can see how having Billy around made the band relax. You would never believe the Beatles were on the point of breaking up. Anyway, happy memories of the 5 of them working on such great music...
: You know, this is literally hearing George becoming the legendary songwriter he'd become during the 70s - it's quite lovely seeing The Beatles learn during their time
E Aug. or E+. Love seeing these guys chat music theory. It’s just like in bands I play with. Someone does something and says, hey this sounds cool, what is this? So fun
@@PaulJacobs1970 yeah it’s more of a 5th, but Augmented (raised a semitone). Popular in Jazz or some rock and blues. Used often as the 5 chord. So E+ (e g# c) leads to an A maj chord (a c# e). If you want an actual example, there is an Augmented chord used on piano as the intro to The Beatles’ Oh Darling
@@PaulJacobs1970 fun thing to know about augmented chords is like diminished chords every note is the same distance away only instead of a distance of minor 3rds apart they are major 3rds apart. This means an E augmented is also a G# aug and a C aug. This is quite useful for key changes.
Billy Preston was a child prodigy and a beautiful soul. He could play that big Hammond organ till it begged for mercy and he showed George how to sing “My Sweet Lord.” His extremely generous assistance enabled the Beatles to expand their musical horizons to include the spiritual uplift of American Soul.
This is, school, for musician, because it is as the song is described, the passing notes become evident. As you hear the 3- note chord progression, the available grace, passing, and tension harmonics, are tested , like a legal theory. Guitar players, don’t intuit chord theory unless and until keybd players and horn players rearrange, or transpose key center. Capo fe guits. This is musical math that is proved while performing.🙏🏾
So much enormous talent in that room... Pure genius. Whenever Im not sure what Im in the mood to listen to...I throw one an album of theirs... It's not just listening to music, it's a total experience 🐙🐙🍏🍏 Ps. If it's been awhile....check out Concert for George.... Incredible lineup on that stage.... including Billy Preston. Peace
So cool. I gotta go back and watch this. Billy is a great guy. George has a cool singing voice. If anyone thinks he's not a great singer they're crazy.
The minute Preston joined the sessions, the whole mood changed and they started having fun.
Credit to George Harrison for bringing Billy in and for bringing his recording equipment into the studio as well! Harrison is Gold! ❤
That's why he(Billy Preston)toured live with the stones for the early 70's first with Mick Taylor then Ron Wood. He was fun and talented. Cool pics of him on Goats Head Soup album art.
They said they were kind of getting on each others nerves, but when company came in they'd behave.
If I recall correctly, John wanted Billy to join the band.

Yes he did...remember the purple jacket he wore at Dylan's 30th Anniversary concert? George was the best dressed in the band. ♥️🕉️
I forgot about that. Doesn't matter he looks great in Purple. 😊

Guitar players, don’t intuit chord theory unless and until keybd players and horn players rearrange, or transpose key center. Capo fe guits. This is musical math that is proved while performing.🙏🏾
E with a C ìs a sharp 5 = augmented
So much enormous talent in that room...
Pure genius. Whenever Im not sure what Im in the mood to listen to...I throw one an album of theirs... It's not just listening to music, it's a total experience 🐙🐙🍏🍏
Ps. If it's been awhile....check out
Concert for George.... Incredible lineup on that stage.... including Billy Preston. Peace
Amazing to see the moment George learned what augmented and diminished chords are! He would go on to write many great songs with those chords!
How did I never know George could play piano!?
All 4 could play some piano. But George was really needed on guitar. In the studio Paul, and George Martin could handle the piano work.
George toca el bajo, el mejor bajo de todo el catálogo beatle
So cool. I gotta go back and watch this. Billy is a great guy. George has a cool singing voice. If anyone thinks he's not a great singer they're crazy.
Old Brown Shoe!!!!! One of my favorite George tunes!!!!! Its the B-side if the Ballad of John and Yoko---
