- Paul's original piano track from The Beatles' song "Martha My Dear" from their 1968 album "The Beatles." Recorded on October 4, 1968 at Trident Studios, London. Written by Paul McCartney.
Paul's guide vocals, George's Les Paul, Ringo's drums and the horn players were recorded live, so there is some microphone leakage.

Believe it or not this was one the most sophisticated song the Beatles ever wrote. The chordal movement is amazing.
This is all Paul.

John Lennon- George Harrison and Ringo Starr do not play on this recording. Like "Wild Honey Pie," "Mother Natures Son", and probabaly more.
Wrong. George plays guitar and Ringo drums. There is photographic evidence from the session and Mal Evans even wrote about for Beatles Monthly magazine .
I studied “Martha My Dear” and “Single Pigeon” for a project in college and was blown away. They became my favorite Beatles and Wings songs respectively.
@@scottandrewbrass1931 I think you misinterpreted the comment you were replying to. They’re saying this piano, what we’re hearing in this video, the piano the OG comment is talking about is all Paul. They’re not talking about the guitar or anything else 🤝
Brilliant! Sir Paul is the Mozart of my generation.
Yes he is!
Eso no es de Faul. Eso es de George Martin. La que si es de él es la infantil Ob la Di
puah!
Hogwash!

Paul has stated this song was a little beyond his piano experience and that George Martin offered to play it but stated he wanted to attempt to play it himself.
So wonderful paul and love to listen to it often.
and gave his best piano performance 🗣️🔥 beautiful!!
This is the most artistic song Paul ever wrote.
fuck me, I can't damning hear this without Yoko screaming John's name over and over again
Don't cos I'll cry
JOHHHN JOOOOOOHHHN JOOOOHHN
I've brought the tea.
That's called a nightmare.
I suggest seeing a doctor about this !!
One of my favourites from the White Album
Very impressive! He's a great pianoplayer! One of my favourite songs too!
That, right there, made the world a little better.
Lennon was always critical of these type of songs from Paul. But deep down he must have envied him. What a tune! The piano on this is brilliant, on top of a very catchy melody. Its one of his best songs without a doubt.
Oh john loved pauls music no matter what he had said outloud.
The Beatles. Three great talents and one genius.

Easy..
Damn is this good! NEVER gets old.
I would have believed that George Martin was playing this except that Macca plays it during the Get Back Sessions note for note.
Spectacular creation from start to finish. Even today, it surprises by the wealth of details, ingenious. Harmonically complete only on piano. Great Paul! Thanks!
Superb
Brilliant!
Mi tema favorito del álbum blanco junto a Dear Prudence
Love the guitar on Dear P.
You can hear that Ringo's drums were also tracked live (drum fill and cymbal crash leaking around 02:00). In fact they were recorded on the same track as George's guitar part!
*Edit* Please ignore this comment. It's since been proven that Ringo does play the drums.
I don't mean to sound rude but that's actually completely false. The drums on this song were actually overdubbed by Paul. This song was recorded at Trident Studios and only Paul and George were in attendance. The reason you can hear the drums is because I wasn't able to perfectly extract the piano, resulting in some artifacts.
The basic live track of this song only had Paul's piano and guide vocals, George's guitar part and the horn players. The vocals, bass, drums and strings were overdubbed afterwards. Here's a picture of the session to give you a better idea: pbs.twimg.com/media/Coy4ZItXEAAQ6cy.png?name=4096x4096
@@RingoStarr39 It's not! The official source (Beatles White Album Deluxe Book) say it is Ringo and the drums are not overdubbed. They were played tight together with the guitar on ONE track - live!
@@sebastiandenhoff1616 If that's true it's news to me. The sad part is that I have the White Album deluxe edition but I never bothered to read through the book that comes with it. They definitely were recorded on their own tracks but I guess it's possible they were both played live. The microphone leakage sounds like live leakage but I wasn't really positive before.
I will give you another hint: Look at the session photo. How many glasses of water can you see standing at the top of the piano? The answer is 3 - one for each of the participating Beatles (John wasn't there).
@@sebastiandenhoff1616 I never noticed that in the picture before. I wouldn't call it proof but it's definitely evidence for Ringo being there. It is interesting that Ringo doesn't appear in any photographs of the session I was able to find, just Paul and George. Perhaps Linda didn't think to take any pictures of him or I just can't find all of them.
i thought i was tripping but i can hear paul's voice in the background
Yeah, he sang guide vocals while he was playing, so that's what you're hearing.
Love its or let Its goes
Por lejos la Mejor del Blanco. Y una de sus mejores Joyas.
I’m a sucker for Paul’s granny music
Brilliant !! Taking some rag time
Martha, my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation, please
Remember me

Don't forget me

Hold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Take a good look around you
Take a good look, you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be
For each other
Silly girl
Hold your hand out, you silly girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you

You have always been my inspiration
Please, be good to me

Even he said this was too hard for him to play and that's why he's never done it live. I mean, he only wrote it...
He doesn’t do it live because it’s hard for him to play it and sing it at the same time without messing up.
@@thesilvershiningdisagree
I don't think he plays it because it's an underrated song even by him!! In the documentary GET Back, there is a section where he plays it 🗣️ and I don't see how he couldn't play and sing it, when he plays Lad y Madonna

I wonder if Paul had some training in piano from someone. Perhaps George Martin? In just a few years Paul developed from a novice into a very sophisticated pop/rock pianist.
See my whole thing with Paul McCartney is that the guy was just an intelligent person, he probably knew more music theory than he's let on because he's modest, and he's a sponge, and he may very well be mildly autistic, the guy's a genius, Lennon said he could have been a successful doctor had he wanted to be...
His father was a pianist. So he used to play in family gatherings when his father couldn’t play.
@@ashishpanwar909 I’m aware that his father was a pianist, however, his father played mostly show tunes. I don’t think that the Paul McCartney of 1963 was capable of playing a song like Lady Madonna, which was recorded in 1968. It seems to me that in the 4 or 5 years since the Beatles first became famous, Paul’s piano skills dramatically improved. By 1968, Paul was playing rock and boogie woogie piano.
@@jhn1987 Well, George Martin was an inspiration. Plus Paul listened to variety of genres.
Yeah and later "you gave me the answer" seems even more complex
JoooOOOhhNNN........JooOOOOhhNNNn.....JAAAAAAAAHHHHNNNNNNN!!!!!!
WHAT?........ _WHAAAAT!?_

Hey man, thanks for this! Do you maybe know if there's any accurate transcription of the original background piano track available online? I'm really bad at transcribing but I can't seem to find any version online that sounds even close to this, not to mention all the small details Paul put into his performance...
I've learned that with Beatles music, transcriptions are often inaccurate. It's better to just listen to it over and over until you learn the part by ear.
True! But I actually managed to finally find something that is really close to the original
I know how to touch it and it comes out similar, it hurts that I don't have a camera :(
@@nikolagoles could you share that link pleaseeee
Hey! Listen to @nachopozo 's version
Let's practice.
This song was delivered to us in E flat major, a 'black' key on the piano, and Paul is actually PLAYING it on a piano here in E flat major! This is surprising. It seems that up until now, any songs in 'black' keys, especially if they had piano parts, were played in a nearby 'white' key, which is easier to play. THEN after the final cut, the song was either slowed down (to lower the key) or sped up (to raise the key) to be in a black note. I think the real reasons were to either ''make it slower and prettier" (e.g . of this is "For No One", where Paul played piano in the key of C major, but it was slowed down for release at mixing to the key of B major) or to speed it up to 'brighten' it up (e.g. of the latter is "When I'm 64", where again Paul plays the song in C major but it is sped up at mixing to come out at C sharp major). So maybe by the time "Martha My Dear" was made, Paul was more comfortable playing songs in 'black' keys on pianos? "Paul, can you hear me? Does this make sense?"
When I'm 64 is interesting because the piano part was actually played at half speed and an octave lower so when the tape was played at the normal speed it would sound brighter.
I am sure paul composed this in Eb, like he did with the long and winding road
@@Bottled-Soapthere's footage of him playing this part in the same key, at the same speed, featured in the Get Back documentary. Definitely composed it in the same key they recorded it in.
Maybe you do not play piano but be assured that Eflat and Aflat are the easiest keys to play on piano.
Not me naming my daughter Martha😍😍😍
*addicted to **00:11** - **00:17*
Personally I love the part starting at 0:38.
Impossible to do it better...
where did you get this?
You can hear the drums bleeding through the piano mic.
You sure can. The drums, guitar, piano and brass musicians were all recorded live.
Hi, I am curious as to how these instrumental tracks were found? are they commercially available?
I’ve just read in the paper how Noel coward thought the Beatles had no talent!!!.
