it can be summed up as a Dm7sus4 chord, but the actual recording had different instruments combined, including ; guitars playing Fadd9, Bass playing D at12fret position, and D2-G2-D3 on Piano
@@Marta1Buck This is an ignorant comment and shows you don't understand jazz. Music that purposefully uses alternate or strange tunings would be closer to contemporary classical.

I think we know. He’s been pretty good now for a few years (intentional understatements) and we’ve watched some of the biopic pieces done on him. We’ve had time to figure out that Sir Paul can play well.
Should've asked him the name of the opening chord to Hard Day's Night. Now that is truly a mystery chord (It's been confirmed by George Harrison as an Fadd9). Depending on who you ask there are at least three answers.
they all play different voicings, live and on the record, but when you put them all together it’s a Dmin11 chord, for sure…still it’s an amazing voicing that’s nearly impossible to replicate
Once you know what the first chord is, the rest become way easier, though separating them in time makes it more difficult. On a guitar in first position, you’re listening for two things: the notes in the chord relative to each other and relative to the last chord. In first position, only one minor chord is going to give you the root note both on the bottom and on top, and that’s E. That’s why Paul found it unmistakable. These first two chords start Summer Breeze. A capo on a low fret could in theory throw one off a bit if that’s solely how the chords are being figured out.
i cannot remember paul mccartney ever giving a major hour long interview to the nation on the bbc and i was really looking forward to ir- why they got this clown to do the interview,only the bbc knows- the ego of idris elba to think that the country(and paul mccartney) would be interested in listening to him badly strumming a few chords on his guitar- mccartney does his best to hide being pissed off- later on in the interview, i remember elba again trying to make the interview about himself, and mccartney could not stop himself any more and made a sarcy comment
@@SadChimchar so this means that ear training is no beginner stuff and thus Paul should not be ridiculed...? btw, I haven't done any purposeful ear training and consider myself to have not great, mediocre ear naturally, but still can guess much harder chords; E.g. i knew the chord was not just B, but B7, that's veery basic in my opinion (because he already had 2 reference chords, one of which B is 5 of, and 7 chord sounds both unique and basic).
So, he can’t play guitar… 😂🤓. Thought he was gonna knock out some Jazz chords, G7b5 kind of stuff… I know if done on a piano, Paul would get every one… 🤘

This was so cool to watch. And he’s still the prettiest old man I’ve ever seen. 😊
Actually a very original idea to throw out there at Paul. I'm surprised Paul didn't ask, "Is the thing in tune"?
Paul is very clever, this video made me chuckle. Love it ❤
When he played that C I though "Oh yeah, the opening chord of Wild Life!". He played it exactly the same way, very gently
Such a great human being and massive talant!
Lol "great human being"? Read some biographies about him......
@@deemika And you are flawless..?

I don't pretend to be flawless.
Should've played the opening chord of A Hard Days Night......We're all still wondering what that is!

“Pfff. It’s a real mystery now I’ve looked” 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think most people realize what a great musician Sir Paul is - Bass, guitar, piano, drums, and now this...?
I think we know. He’s been pretty good now for a few years (intentional understatements) and we’ve watched some of the biopic pieces done on him. We’ve had time to figure out that Sir Paul can play well.
He's great but this isn't rlly impressive in any way lol. If you've been playing guitar for a year you can recognize E minor, C and an out of tune D
@@ok9908 Good for you, scooter.
@@ikkenhisatsu7170 💀
Nah, I think people realize 😂
D6, knew it straight away, Fool On The Hill
Same here!
Anyone know where i can watch the full Idris Elba Meets Paul McCartney? I missed it when it aired
I wouldn't bother, it's rubbish.
@@sratus why is that?
Did anybody else sing 'A taste of honey!' when Idris strummed E minor?
I thought of "I'm Only Sleeping"
Or 'do you want to know a secret'!
No, because that is in F#m.. 🤣
I just heard a raw Em, it’s rather common, hehe.
Paul is so cute in this clip 😭
I knew the mystery chord becuase its the 2nd chord in 50 ways to leave ypur lover by Paul Simon. A D6
Did you hear Idris' knees click as he stood up? (12 seconds in)
And people want him to play James Bond lol😂
Jk my knees would click like that when I was a teenager lol
i got D6--its the fool on the hill chord--and C--got that opening chord to Wildlife

without the E, of course, so maybe Fadd9/D is more accurate
I'm huge fan of the Beatles. And The Wire - greatest series ever.. But why the hell are these two legends together? What show is this?
This was originally aired in December 2020 as part of an hourlong BBC special called Idris Elba Meets Paul McCartney.
Nice❤
First two chords were Welcome to the Machine.

When you´ve played the guitar for a while, you just know the sound of the most common chords. No need to analyse them.
after filming " Paul, can you sign my guitar?"
Oh, Idris...
Top ten unexpected collabs
Paul becane a blonde!
Funny how successful people are thrilled to death to be with Paul McCartney. The Beatles are loved and respected by so many.
I thought that was Ellen DeGeneres in the thumbnail for a second. 😜
Should've asked him what's the opening chord in Hard Days Night!
Paul is still such a cutie
0:43 the opening chord to I'm Only Sleeping. 0:52 the opening chord Daytime Night time Suffering.
0:43 i think is also the opening chord to Do You Want to Know a Secret
Now all Paul needs to do is learn them 😂😂😂😂
What would you think if my guitar was out of tune?
❤
I play chords and still cant name them ... and its my fingers ... people tell me to stop creating new songs on my channel ... I don't understand?
Oh no... Don't give up acting.. 😮. 😂 Awesomeness 😎
He is a good actor though

As soon as I saw that dude hold the guitar like that, I knew he doesn't play at all.
Why does Ellen Degeneres sound like Paul McCartney?
Paul looking good here, except for his jumper! - :(
STRINGER
STRUMMER
wow! that's really surprising that McCartney can't do some beginner shit
Beginners on guitar struggle to fret notes. The vast majority never end up finding out what ear training even is.

dribble...my dog knows em c d sequence...
The last chord was B7, I’m afraid, not D.
@@isaacbeen2087 thats my bum spanked
The “mystery” chord is a B7. And that guitar is ridiculously out of tune.
Love Idris in Luther, but off screen he is an absolute knob 😂
That clip is painful
why say @i brought my guitar with me' and then act like you dont want to bring it out in front of him. Idris elba is a nobhead.
Whew.....Indris walked right up to that cringe line.....but he stepped back just in time.
So, he can’t play guitar… 😂🤓. Thought he was gonna knock out some Jazz chords, G7b5 kind of stuff… I know if done on a piano, Paul would get every one… 🤘
Jesus. He could have tuned it! Then again, it's only Paul so not really worth it, I suppose.
