Heh....same. On the first one I was like, HA! Obvious...somehow. In My LIfe, easy. At the end I got 4 right. And it wasn't easy. I'd give David an 8 rather than 6....because his first guess was right on two....and even the things he got wrong, he got wrong for good reasons. This was TOUGH!
Two here as well. Got With a little help from my friends because of the harmonies, which are even more cemented in my mind because Noel Gallagher put them in Oasis' She's Electric.
I saw this comment right after hearing the first clip and correctly guessing in my life. I was also feeling good, then I see this, and I’m like “uh oh” **update: I got 2/15. Boy howdy, it was all downhill from there 😅
If that last chord takes up almost the entire piano and lasts for what feels like several minutes, then I think it might be A Day in the Life. Otherwise it might be harder
12/15. I thought Nowhere Man was Don’t Let Me Down, I thought I’ve Got a Feeling was Dig a Pony, and I thought Rocky Raccoon was “Errrrr… something from the White Album??”.
Same with the first 2 songs! With Rocky Raccoon I iniially thought it might be Don't Pass Me By, bu then I remembered it ends with that weird fading out violin solo.
@@AndrewWatsonChangingWay I've been having a ball lately enjoying the extended Rutle catalogue recently uploaded by @Rutlemania. It's been a really accessible way to enjoy the music of he Rutle member's non-Rutle catalogues, which previously I've found a bit hard to get into. But it's also reignited my Beatles enthusiasm and made me try to tackle the Beatle solo work which can be pretty daunting. "It's all part of the soup" as George said.
@@mikemakesmusic7 definitely, there's certainly a lot of Beatlesque stuff out there. If it's still too easy the Beatles category could also include solo projects, that's a challenge.
It's amazing how many of these outros are unique in some way. Lots of the details I never really noticed before. Whether it's Ringo playing some strange drum fill or someone plucking an arpeggio on the strings of a piano. It really shows you how the Beatles were really overflowing with creative ideas, stuffing every moment of their songs with something interesting.
10/15 1. Instantly recognizable 2. Thought it was strawberry fields because that song also has a ridiculous ending 3. Thought this was the beginning to "She came in through..." so I guessed Polythene Pam but I really should've known it 4. Haven't listened to this one enough, I guessed She's Leaving Home 5. Took a while but got it because of the distinct vocal part 6. That french horn is iconic to me 7. nearly impossible to miss 8. Got it because of Ringo's drum fill 9. So sad about this one. I thought it was The End when it all slows down and swells up with the orchestra 10. Got this one quickly, one of my favorite Beatles songs 11. Ashamed to say haven't listened to the white album in full including this song so I guessed Love me do 12. Always recognize that chord because it feels cut off weirdly early 13. love that dissonant organ sound, instantly recognizable 14. Thank you! 15. the vocal harmonies in this song are perfection, Beatles really know how to "ooh"
This was, at least for me, by far the hardest of these. I did alright, not great, on the others, but I barely got any on this. I love that you're doing these.
I used to use a cheaper record player (up to an AT-LP60 now, getting a 120 for Christmas) and I played Abbey Road and Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue so much that they were unlistenably noisy.@@matthewbartlett3442 I have since bought another copy of Abbey Road.
14/15. I guessed The End instead of Something. Listening back to both of them, they do have a pretty similar ending, which I never realized before. As people are pointing out, the strategy of imagining what song comes next was pretty helpful.
@@c00l0 Nice. Even after all these David Bennett videos my theory knowledge is almost zero. I couldn't tell you what chord it was, just that they were the same lol. So it's cool to know, I can just remember one of these tunes to identify a C chord now.
it really goes to show how great the George & the lads’ arranging skills were…organs and strings sneak in throughout the song in such an organic and subtle way that when you just hear the last chord it’s surprising
I also lost count of my score as I was doing so poorly: 7/15. I started hearing the "next song" in my mind, and this helped me get a few of them (as we all know the album sequencing so well). Also interesting how you could sometimes know the album sound production. I immediately knew the "rooftop" sound but guessed the wrong song! Also discerned the Sgt. Pepper sound and guessed the wrong song. Great video/quiz. Please keep them coming.
One of my favorite final chords from their earlier albums is the final chord in Any Time at All. The sudden change in guitar tone for the one chord makes it feel really punchy and I love it for that. If you haven't been giving much love to their early work, please do so. They aren't as groundbreaking or high-fidelity as their later work, but it has their most energetic and rocking songs they've ever put to tape, especially their covers.
I blew it!! 3 out of 15 (1, 6 & 7)! I agreed with most of the things you said (before you said them!) so where you were wrong, so was I. On #10, I said "Octopus's Garden", which was the track after the correct answer - so I claim half a point as a consolation! 🙂 Anyway, that was fun! Thank you, David.
That was quite a difficult one, but I think there are a few things that really help if you know the songs well: The length of the chord, the key of the chord, what instruments were there, and anything that might come at that very end of the clip, such as the A major chord at the end of Oh Darling. I got full marks on this one. Probably didn't help that I've been enjoying The Beatles' music so much that I probably know all of their albums a bit too well by now...
When you say " the key of the chord", I take it you mean that you mean the *type* of the chord (Major, Minor) and not whether it is A Major or F Major. Because nobody could possibly know that unless they have perfect pitch.
@@Better_Call_Raul I did actually mean key, like A major or B major. I don't think you, need, perfect pitch to know what chord you might be ending on, I thought relative pitch helps here. So if you know what a C is, you can then work from that to know what chord you're hearing. Although, I do have perfect pitch, so don't quote me on this...
@@tobiasheath529 You are wrong. You are blessed with perfect pitch. The ordinary listener who has trained his *relative pitch* can only make out whether that ending chord is a Major7 or Minor7 or Dominant7 or whatever. e.g., He could identify that the ending chord was a Major7 chord (Root, Third, Fifth, Seventh). *But he would have absolutely no idea whether it is a CMajor7 or DMajor7!* That is the critical point I am making. No clue. The listener with perfect pitch, OTOH, would know the key and *ALSO* know that it was a CMajor7 and not DMajor7. That could possibly help him identify the song, I can only dream of perfect pitch. If I was blessed with perfect pitch, I could easily memorize the key of each of the Beatles songs (I've already listened to them a million times). Upon hearing the ending chord, I would reverse engineer and narrow down the song.
That's the album version of Penny Lane. They deleted 7 piccolo trumpet notes from the end, which has always bothered me. When I first heard the song as a single, it had a 7 note coda so this Penny Lane ending always sounded to me as though it were unfinished.
I was absolutely convinced that #3 was Don't Let Me Down, even after hearing you say "it's obviously a middle period song." Turns out Don't Let Me Down and Nowhere Man are in the same key and the last chords actually do sound fairly similar.
It's cute how David reacts every time he guessed it right, like he'd just escaped a serious danger by a hair's breadth😊 Anyways, you're doing a great job with your videos, David! I have learnt a lot and your skills and sense for music are amazing😍 (Pardon my English pls)
Listening albums all the way thru definitely helped me with this one! I got Rocky Raccoon because the transition to Don't Pass Me By is very distinct for me. But yeah, this was tough as hell
Wow! Tough challenge! I'm a lifelong Beatles fan and still got only about 5 of those. And some of my misses were pretty embarrassing! BTW, I was wondering about that marvelous theme playing for the credits on your channel and found out that it was you! I've been listening on repeat on Spotify! Fantastic stuff, man
I got a couple...no more. I LOVE the fact that people who are so many decades younger than me listen to and love these songs so much that they recognise the final chords. I'm nearly 63, but I have a shed-load of much older sisters, hence I was a Beatles fan from being a toddler. There is a reel to reel of me and my twin brother singing 'She Loves You' but we are so young we miss off the final 'Yeah'.
I managed to get 12 out of 15. These songs are so familiar to me, they're like hearing a friends voice on the phone, I only need to hear one word to recognize them.
It would be awesome if you could make some content where you breakdown Todd Rundgren's compositions. His material is simply outstanding, definitely one the greatest songwriters ever
hi, i don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but this video is unlisted and can only be watched by going into the playlist (that's why it has only 26 views right now). i just thought i would comment incase this wasn't intentional to let you know
I’ve been listening Beatles songs for more than 40 years now continuously and though I know all songs I couldn’t guess any of the songs except Yesterday. It’s really hard because you have to rewind the song in your mind to recognise it and that doesn’t work for me 😅 Well done!!
This is a good one! And it’s the opposite for me: I’m finding this comparatively easy. Ironically, for #2, I remembered that ending chord as *_leading into_* Penny Lane rather than from Penny Lane itself! Same thing for #10, except this time I was right: I said “the song before Octopuses Garden”!
There's an alternate version of Penny Lane that has an additional trumpet solo at the end. Perhaps you're thinking of that? That was played on the radio back then
Dear David, Love your Beatles stuff. As to another quiz, what about word(s) - no music - in a song (unusual for a song) Example: "trivialities" in WHEN I GET HOME; "plasticine" in LSD, etc.
Maybe I'm amazed!! my 10 (ten) yr old son did it in 13 out of 15 ... And he took less than 3 sec in almost every song. In a 14th song he guessed it instantly right ('I got a feeling'), but then he switched to 'Dig a pony' ... He failed 'Rocky Rackoon'.
heya! as soon as I heard the first one I knew it had to be that wonderful song! thanx for these great videos. They really pay great hommage to that awesome band.
This one was difficult. I usually Get them all right. I thought A Day In The Life would come here. Please make more. So fun to guess. The drum only was also difficult.
As a Beatles fan of 47 years, I got 12/15. I missed Nowhere Man (I guessed Don’t Let Me Down), Something (My guess was The End), and Rocky Racoon (I guessed Don’t Pass Me By). This was a challenging one!
Well David, as a lifetime Beatles fan i do find these difficult - & you generally beat me by 1 or 2. This one i found a little bit easier. I got 11 out of 15.
I got them all except for one No, seriously, I only got In My Life and Yesterday - but I was so willing you on to do well. It’s so fun to watch you take it so seriously.
I got 2 right. It would be helpful if after the answer is revealed, the sound-bite could be played again. So, 1) Play sound 2) Play sound 3) Guess 4) Reveal answer 5) Play sound
Okay, as a long-time avid Beatles fan, I guessed the first one and skipped over my first choice, which was the correct choice of the second song, I gave up midway through. This is tough! Hey! I continued and guessed I Saw Her Standing There! Considering the difficulty, you did very well, David!
I was 10 or 11 out of 15 (i lost track too). I missed "I Me Mine" but i KNEW it was a George song immediately--the organ gave it away, but I'd guessed Blue Jay Way. This was an AWEsome challenge tho--and i was shouting along (thinking out loud) as you sounded out your process and i had a few 'jinx' moments during the thought-tracing, so that was fun! My first husband used to put my cds at random into the carousel and quiz me on first-second blips on any one of my hundreds of cds, just for his own amusement i think. There are tracks you even know sometimes, simply from the background/ambient noise, tape hiss, or the audience applause if you embrace your autism rigorously enough. The Ex and i are still friends, and he still calls me the human jukebox, which i'll gleefully take as a compliment. It makes me think those thousands of hours i spent locked away listening to music as a kid weren't entirely wasted if i at least have 'entertainment' value. :)
Dare to correct. I've got approximately 13 correct. Because I was wrong in right of the middle of Flying. That wasn't. The rest of it didn't know. Thankfully in David's game rescued me with his tongue. Spectacular edition !
This was harder than I thought...10/15...the revolver songs got me, and I got a feeling I thought was one after 909....this was actually challenging for a die hard fan....
I should be sent to the corner. I've listened to every Beatles album, single and track since they were released and my score was pitiful. 5 out of 15. The one I got the fastest was Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da. And the one I should have definitely got but failed miserably was Rocky Raccoon. Thanks for the contest. 😀
This was WAYYYY harder than I thought it was going to be. Obviously I "recognized" all of them, but then just couldn't place them with the right songs, with very few exceptions. And it's not like I've never listened to the Beatles. They are the first and only band of which I own their entire catalog.
I was a whopping 3 for 15! 😂 Pretty pathetic for a 70yo lifelong Beatles fan, but that was both humbling and a lot of fun! Thanks for your great work, David!
Here's a suggestion that's been on my mind for some time: "Guess the Beatles song by tapping out its general ductus" or maybe "Guess the Beatles song by having a conductor conduct it silently". That should be fun and kind of hard.
Super hard! I felt like I was waking up from a dream I could almost remember, but it kept slipping into other dreams and thoughts before I could. By sheer chance, I got maybe 2 or 3 correct. Humbling.
I guessed I Have A Feeling, because immidiately after the chord i heard One After 909. With Oh Darling i immidiately heard Octopus's garden, but couldnt remember the previous song in album :)
And I immediately thought "One After 909!" That was one of those that I'd have figured out if I'd had a little time to chew it over. It's hard to do, period, but especially under that time constraint!
Got #1 correct. Did not know #2, and if you played it for me without telling me it was a Beatles song, i would think it was by another band such as Pink Floyd
As soon as I started thinking in terms of what plays next on an album I was able to guess without an issue. Had to go back to the pre-iPhone memory for this one!
I love the Beatles so I thought I would get all of these right but I only got 11 out of 15! 1- In My Life, 2- Penny Lane, 3- Nowhere Man, 4- The Long and Winding Road, 5- Hello Goodbye (guessed wrong- With a Little Help from My Friends), 6- For No One, 7- Yesterday, (8- couldn't guess it/I Got a Feeling- knew it was a Let it Be track), 9-Something, 10- Maxwell's Silver Hammer (guessed wrong- Oh Darling), 11- Don't Pass Me By (wrong again it was Rocky Raccoon), 12- I Saw Her Standing There, 13- I Me Mine, 14- Ob La Di Ob La Da, 15- Here There and Everywhere. Usually, I could figure out the album the chord snippet was from but had to think a long time to figure out the song and still got many wrong. Well, fun quiz anyway!
Damn dude, this was incredibly impressive even just to get a few. I'd consider myself pretty well versed in the Beatles catalogue, but this task is not easy at all. Much harder than the intros.
That was SO much fun!! i played along, paused and rewound a little bit so that was interactive and your commentary was good. if anyone cares, i got 10 right 2 wrong (Nowhere Man and Something. I thought they were an older Beatles song and The End respectively)
![Gunna - HIM ALL ALONG [Official Visualizer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HiCxoDeo0hc/mqdefault.jpg)
I was feeling confident after I knew "In My Life" immediately. But it was all downhill from there. I got "Oh Darling," and that was it.
Heh....same. On the first one I was like, HA! Obvious...somehow. In My LIfe, easy.
At the end I got 4 right. And it wasn't easy.
I'd give David an 8 rather than 6....because his first guess was right on two....and even the things he got wrong, he got wrong for good reasons. This was TOUGH!
Two here as well. Got With a little help from my friends because of the harmonies, which are even more cemented in my mind because Noel Gallagher put them in Oasis' She's Electric.

**update: I got 2/15. Boy howdy, it was all downhill from there 😅
Hahaha me too
If that last chord takes up almost the entire piano and lasts for what feels like several minutes, then I think it might be A Day in the Life. Otherwise it might be harder
No one like this comment. Ik that’s immature but it feels… better at 69
Well stated
Exactly same here. A couple of them even ended on an E chord. With Nowhere Man , and Day in the life end on. This was a tough one …
@docsigma. You don't say!
Lol
I got 8. In almost every song I started singing the next song in the album trying to remember the song before it 😂
Ooooo that’s clever!! Wish I’d thought of that 😅
That's how I got _Oh Darling!_ _Octopus's Garden_ started right up in my mind's ear.
That's so funny. I was thinking it was Octopus's Garden, but this is probably why.
that's an amazing strategy.
@@grant50 Same here! That also helped me confirm a few of the guesses for which I was otherwise unsure.
12/15. I thought Nowhere Man was Don’t Let Me Down, I thought I’ve Got a Feeling was Dig a Pony, and I thought Rocky Raccoon was “Errrrr… something from the White Album??”.
Same with the first 2 songs! With Rocky Raccoon I iniially thought it might be Don't Pass Me By, bu then I remembered it ends with that weird fading out violin solo.

Yeah I thought Nowhere Man was Don't Let Me Down as well.
Nowhere man man man man
@@НикитаРозвод what would it even be? "we're the men and heres the map and this is liverpool sponsored by skillshare"
This was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be after #1 !!
yeah, thought i'd ace this, am ashamed. i figure most of us are way better at beginnings than ends.
I have a Beatles Challenge for you: from only a short snippet of each song, guess whether it's The Beatles or The Rutles.
Great idea!
That’s a great Idea! Even just Beatles or not from a short clip
@@AndrewWatsonChangingWay I've been having a ball lately enjoying the extended Rutle catalogue recently uploaded by @Rutlemania. It's been a really accessible way to enjoy the music of he Rutle member's non-Rutle catalogues, which previously I've found a bit hard to get into.

Absolutely. There is so much exploratory texture just in these 2 second passages.

Why do you bother with a Beatles quiz when you haven't listened to the White Album yet???
As a Beatles fan for 59 years I must say this was difficult but I got 11 out of 15.
Very well done! I've been a fan ever since 1962 - and I got a (very) measly 3. 😞
I've also been a Beatles fan for 59 years, and I only got 2. So it takes much more than that -- congratulations!
Beat ya, I got two.
Respect!
Well that’s impressive - I’ve been a fan for forty years - and I’m very good at the initial chord recognitions - but this one destroyed me. Argh.
This was really hard! Props to whoever managed this!
This was, at least for me, by far the hardest of these. I did alright, not great, on the others, but I barely got any on this. I love that you're doing these.
The drum one was impossible for me… but this one wasn’t much easier!
I got "Oh! Darling" right away because my brain was anticipating the opening lick of "Octopus's Garden" right afterward.
Same haha
Same I've played that album too much
beyondobscure you can never listen to that album too much
I used to use a cheaper record player (up to an AT-LP60 now, getting a 120 for Christmas) and I played Abbey Road and Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue so much that they were unlistenably noisy.@@matthewbartlett3442 I have since bought another copy of Abbey Road.

Exactly. My older cousing had the Canadian single promo way back in '67 and that was the only one I'd heard for a week or 2.
So that's why I didn't guess that one. (Now I only need an explanation for the other 13.)
I knew I heard that version before somewhere, thanks for unlocking that memory
I also feel that once you've heard the "original" the standard version sounds unfinished. I have the Rarities version on my playlist for that reason.

Thank you, David, I find your videos incredibly entertaining and educational. Thank you.
That was very hard indeed. Most of the ones I actually got, I got by knowing what the next song on the album was and then figuring it out from there.

hi, i don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but this video is unlisted and can only be watched by going into the playlist (that's why it has only 26 views right now). i just thought i would comment incase this wasn't intentional to let you know
No worries, this video is unlisted currently because it’s not due for release yet. But thanks for letting me know 😊
@@DavidBennettPiano oh okay
I’ve been listening Beatles songs for more than 40 years now continuously and though I know all songs I couldn’t guess any of the songs except Yesterday.
It’s really hard because you have to rewind the song in your mind to recognise it and that doesn’t work for me 😅
Well done!!
gets Song 1 right away: "yesss"
proceeds to get every other one wrong: "nooo"
(I did get Song 14 though -- "ahh")
This was rough, partly because I could sing the song, but not recall the title.
Great concept. Live it!
This is a good one! And it’s the opposite for me: I’m finding this comparatively easy.
Ironically, for #2, I remembered that ending chord as *_leading into_* Penny Lane rather than from Penny Lane itself!
Same thing for #10, except this time I was right: I said “the song before Octopuses Garden”!
There's an alternate version of Penny Lane that has an additional trumpet solo at the end. Perhaps you're thinking of that? That was played on the radio back then
@@robmarshall9026, interesting thought! I pretty much have only listened to the (US) album version.
9/15
Missing I’ve Got a Feeling really hurts! I knew it was the rooftop!
Fun stuff. I didn't do any better David, I could narrow it down to the album but missed a lot of the exact song.
Dear David, Love your Beatles stuff. As to another quiz, what about word(s) - no music - in a song (unusual for a song) Example: "trivialities" in WHEN I GET HOME; "plasticine" in LSD, etc.
I know there’s gonna be the day in the life ending chord coming up…
I was wrong
Surely far easier for people who listened to these as an album rather than singles. For them, the end of each song flows right to the next.
Maybe some people... I did grow up listening to them as albums but it’s been a long time and I don’t have a great memory.
Yep. Octopus’ Garden started in my head after the Oh! Darling clip.
Even if you got only 1 I would have been impressed. You probably did better than 99% of Beatles fans.
15/15
"I Saw Her Standing There" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" almost got me.
This was sooooo much fun!!!! More please!!!!
Maybe I'm amazed!!
my 10 (ten) yr old son did it in 13 out of 15 ... And he took less than 3 sec in almost every song. In a 14th song he guessed it instantly right ('I got a feeling'), but then he switched to 'Dig a pony' ... He failed 'Rocky Rackoon'.
heya! as soon as I heard the first one I knew it had to be that wonderful song! thanx for these great videos. They really pay great hommage to that awesome band.
I got the first one, In My Life, immediately and thought this is a piece of cake.
I then proceeded to get all the other 14 wrong.
This one was difficult. I usually Get them all right. I thought A Day In The Life would come here. Please make more. So fun to guess. The drum only was also difficult.
Hardest Beatles quiz ever! I got 8 of 15 and I’ve listened to these songs almost every day of the last 57 years!
As a Beatles fan of 47 years, I got 12/15. I missed Nowhere Man (I guessed Don’t Let Me Down), Something (My guess was The End), and Rocky Racoon (I guessed Don’t Pass Me By). This was a challenging one!
Well David, as a lifetime Beatles fan i do find these difficult - & you generally beat me by 1 or 2. This one i found a little bit easier. I got 11 out of 15.
I haven’t listened to any Beatles music for decades.
I got the first one right away. I didn’t get any others and some of them I had never heard of.
I got them all except for one
No, seriously, I only got In My Life and Yesterday - but I was so willing you on to do well. It’s so fun to watch you take it so seriously.
Got em all somehow, the songs and each little piece of the mix of all of em are firmly etched in my head
I got 2 right.
It would be helpful if after the answer is revealed, the sound-bite could be played again.
So,
1) Play sound
2) Play sound
3) Guess
4) Reveal answer
5) Play sound
Okay, as a long-time avid Beatles fan, I guessed the first one and skipped over my first choice, which was the correct choice of the second song, I gave up midway through. This is tough! Hey! I continued and guessed I Saw Her Standing There! Considering the difficulty, you did very well, David!
Only five.. But I recognized "Oh, Darling" and "I've got a feeling". Very hard quizz. Thanks.
I was 10 or 11 out of 15 (i lost track too). I missed "I Me Mine" but i KNEW it was a George song immediately--the organ gave it away, but I'd guessed Blue Jay Way. This was an AWEsome challenge tho--and i was shouting along (thinking out loud) as you sounded out your process and i had a few 'jinx' moments during the thought-tracing, so that was fun!
My first husband used to put my cds at random into the carousel and quiz me on first-second blips on any one of my hundreds of cds, just for his own amusement i think. There are tracks you even know sometimes, simply from the background/ambient noise, tape hiss, or the audience applause if you embrace your autism rigorously enough. The Ex and i are still friends, and he still calls me the human jukebox, which i'll gleefully take as a compliment. It makes me think those thousands of hours i spent locked away listening to music as a kid weren't entirely wasted if i at least have 'entertainment' value. :)
Dare to correct. I've got approximately 13 correct. Because I was wrong in right of the middle of Flying. That wasn't. The rest of it didn't know. Thankfully in David's game rescued me with his tongue. Spectacular edition !
100% easily in this. I always pick songs at concerts long before the audience. Maybe it’s a sign I should play more music.
This was harder than I thought...10/15...the revolver songs got me, and I got a feeling I thought was one after 909....this was actually challenging for a die hard fan....
I should be sent to the corner. I've listened to every Beatles album, single and track since they were released and my score was pitiful. 5 out of 15. The one I got the fastest was Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da. And the one I should have definitely got but failed miserably was Rocky Raccoon. Thanks for the contest. 😀
These quizzes are always easier the second time around
😂
My Google Pixel was listening and successfully identifying some of these. Impressive! And did better than me!
Geez I got a handful at the start and then got blown away, well done with your 6 !!
Thanks for using my suggestion!!! I got 14/15
This was WAYYYY harder than I thought it was going to be. Obviously I "recognized" all of them, but then just couldn't place them with the right songs, with very few exceptions. And it's not like I've never listened to the Beatles. They are the first and only band of which I own their entire catalog.
6 of 15 as well. That was difficult. And I've been a die hard Beatles fan since hearing them on radio in 1963.
I was a whopping 3 for 15! 😂 Pretty pathetic for a 70yo lifelong Beatles fan, but that was both humbling and a lot of fun! Thanks for your great work, David!
Here's a suggestion that's been on my mind for some time: "Guess the Beatles song by tapping out its general ductus" or maybe "Guess the Beatles song by having a conductor conduct it silently". That should be fun and kind of hard.
i love these guessing beatles videos!
Super hard! I felt like I was waking up from a dream I could almost remember, but it kept slipping into other dreams and thoughts before I could. By sheer chance, I got maybe 2 or 3 correct. Humbling.
Very nice quiz! Loved it.
I find it interesting that isolating the last chords is also a very good way of understanding the complexity and nuances that went in Beatles songs.
David..dont give yourself such a hard time...watching your thought process is what i watch these videos for..btw i only got 4
Haha. This really shines a light on the fact that I rarely listen to the full length of songs. I skip to the next one in the outros
I guessed I Have A Feeling, because immidiately after the chord i heard One After 909. With Oh Darling i immidiately heard Octopus's garden, but couldnt remember the previous song in album :)
I got as far as guessing "Octopus's Garden" - missed by one track!
And I immediately thought "One After 909!" That was one of those that I'd have figured out if I'd had a little time to chew it over. It's hard to do, period, but especially under that time constraint!
Got #1 correct. Did not know #2, and if you played it for me without telling me it was a Beatles song, i would think it was by another band such as Pink Floyd
Definitely the most difficult quiz so far. I got six. I thought I knew the ending the Beatles song is better than I did.
14/15. Thought Rocky Racoon was It’s Only Love 😭
As soon as I started thinking in terms of what plays next on an album I was able to guess without an issue. Had to go back to the pre-iPhone memory for this one!
I love this.
I still play the beadle every day.
I love the Beatles so I thought I would get all of these right but I only got 11 out of 15! 1- In My Life, 2- Penny Lane, 3- Nowhere Man, 4- The Long and Winding Road, 5- Hello Goodbye (guessed wrong- With a Little Help from My Friends), 6- For No One, 7- Yesterday, (8- couldn't guess it/I Got a Feeling- knew it was a Let it Be track), 9-Something, 10- Maxwell's Silver Hammer (guessed wrong- Oh Darling), 11- Don't Pass Me By (wrong again it was Rocky Raccoon), 12- I Saw Her Standing There, 13- I Me Mine, 14- Ob La Di Ob La Da, 15- Here There and Everywhere. Usually, I could figure out the album the chord snippet was from but had to think a long time to figure out the song and still got many wrong. Well, fun quiz anyway!
Damn dude, this was incredibly impressive even just to get a few. I'd consider myself pretty well versed in the Beatles catalogue, but this task is not easy at all. Much harder than the intros.
Only got two! Need to listen to their albums again, haha.
I'd love it in future quizzes if you played them with a few seconds more context after the answer is revealed!
I got 5 out of 15. I'm quite pleased with that!
I got 3, and a lot of these were my favorite Beatles songs. Crazy how hard this was for me.
10/15. Remembering the song's key here and there was helpful to me.
Amazing video as always! I did 10/15 not bad at all but it was really difficult.
That was SO much fun!! i played along, paused and rewound a little bit so that was interactive and your commentary was good.
if anyone cares, i got
10 right
2 wrong (Nowhere Man and Something. I thought they were an older Beatles song and The End respectively)
