You Cracked the NUT!!! I always knew something was up with that riff. Ironic that the other Fab Movie Song Title "A HArd DaYs NiGhT" has vari-speed on the Guitar Riff.
That is an amazing piece of detective work right there, that you've done, Galeazzo! Going down the rabbit hole of questioning George's guitar attack on Help: Up to the point where researching the recording technique led you down the path of a 'casual' bit of dialogue between the band and the producer which, in turn, led to your resolving how to perfectly recreate the tone...some journey. Wow.
Fantastic insight into the recording of Help!... Definitely they used the technique of slowing down the tape very early on, on the solo of A Hard Day's Night and then on In My Life....Absolutely fascinating !!
Yes, I specifically remember Paul mentioning, I think it was in one of the Rick Rubin interviews, that George's solo with the triplets on 'A Hard Day's Night' was recorded at half speed and a lower pitch and then the tape sped up to achieve the desired tempo and pitch. I'd always been frustrated trying to pull off the feel of that lick even though the notes seem relatively straightforward...when Paul mentioned that the light went on.
Thank you sir! That was fascinating. Its crazy to think how much work goes into a recording. The stuff we might take for granted now took a lot of work back then. Great stuff...❤✌️🎸
WOW ! That was outstanding detective work and I am completely blown away not only by your knowledge of music but you can build the sound to specs also. BRAVO, BRAVO!
Ha-ha! I swear on a stack of bibles that I have been working on this riff over the last couple of days and I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Now I know why! Thank you!!
One thought I have about George switching to the strat…I bet that he switched to the strat because he didn’t want to retune the Gretsch that he’d use on a different song that day.
Very interesting. Great detective work there! Didn’t George Harrison play the guitar solo and George Martin play the piano solo on Hard Days Night at half speed? Which of course is 1964.
Some very interesting detective work here, and the studio chatter does seem to fit with the idea that the tape speed was changed. And the tone is a very good match. Didn't George use this recording speed trick on the Hard Day's Night solo too?
Spot on! Except the transcription (@0:05) should read... GM: ...would it be safer to overdub that one on? GH: Don't think so no, 'cause it's just that it's so fast
where can I listen to the session dialogues? Very interesting video. Poor George, seems to be bothered with low self esteem the whole way trough the Beatles carreer
Really interesting (to us Beatle nerds). Question - is using varispeed to record this or the "In My Life" piano any more ethical than modern auto-tune or pitch correction on vocals? I don't mind autotune when it's clearly being used as a sound effect - e.g. T-Pain and Drake vocals. I don't like it, but I'm not offended by it. Some people might hate the sound of wah-wah pedals. Chacun a son gout. I guess my position is that you can do anything you want in the studio. Such effects are part of the recording process. But playing live, it's fraudulent, and takes away from the emotion of the rendition.

Your guitar tutorials are consistently the most accurate on RUclips. Always a joy to see a new one.
George says “cause it’s just that it’s so fast” not “cause it’s just a bit so fast” 😀
George's thoughtful playing style is the essence of his character.
This is my opinion.
GooD)))))))
Another fascinating video, Galeazzo. It's always interesting to learn more about the nuances of The Beatles' music. Helps my guitar playing immensely!
Nice to see a new video from you.
That's gotta the sweetest sounding Electromatic on the planet
The king is back!!
You Cracked the NUT!!! I always knew something was up with that riff. Ironic that the other Fab Movie Song Title "A HArd DaYs NiGhT" has vari-speed on the Guitar Riff.
Finally you came back!
Well he had no problem playing it live after playing it a few times.
Excellent!!
Wow... really great video!!! 🙏🎶

You're the best! I always thought that Help didn't sound right with the Tennessean. Amazing discovery!
I enjoy the deep dives. It's great to see how the beatles managed to get a particular tone or phrasing on the records.

Caro! You are genius level ❤
I always love listening to your in depth videos!
Extraordinary research and experimentation. Well done!!

Great stuff...❤✌️🎸
Amazing analysis and communication

Bravo !

Cool send the link to your recreation
Incredible video! Thank You!

Nice work!
Excellent work man.

Great work. One wonders if anyone could ask Paul. 🙂
Very interesting!
素晴らしい解説をありがとうございます。From Japan
Bravo Galeazzo!
The varispeed in those days was good for about 4 semitones at each tape speed. Any slower and the motors would struggle to keep the capstan steady.
actually he said 'it's just that it's so fast'
Some very interesting detective work here, and the studio chatter does seem to fit with the idea that the tape speed was changed. And the tone is a very good match. Didn't George use this recording speed trick on the Hard Day's Night solo too?
Yes George Martin and Norman Smith did that :)
Spot on! Except the transcription (@0:05) should read...
GM: ...would it be safer to overdub that one on?
GH: Don't think so no, 'cause it's just that it's so fast
The guitar arpeggio reminds me of Billy talent nothing to lose
That same descending line in Help is used in Cry Baby Cry just played a little differently.
I listened to you at double speed.
Dovrebbero darti un contratto da ordinario in un'università ❤
Regarding the list of songs with varispeed, could you clarify why, for example, Fixing A Hole and Everybody's Got Something are listed?
In lieu of varispeed, I'd suggest finger picking.
Didnt George also experiment with a Telecaster. A Tele sounds very plucky and twangy like the one on Help.
George's version sounds warmer
You have to realize that they recorded onto tape which is inherently warmer sounding than digital
@jacksonjacksoff what would Mr. Miyagi say?
@@live2shredguy ;)
where can I listen to the session dialogues? Very interesting video. Poor George, seems to be bothered with low self esteem the whole way trough the Beatles carreer
Have you watched the video in it's entirety? ;)
Yes! I just need the source for the dialogue !
@@joachimdalgard5288 look for the Help outtuakes here in YT
Its a Gretsch with old strings.😄

If the singer is skilled not using autotune in your recordings, gives the whole song a completely different vibe.
Paul could have played it in one take.
Slowdown has maybe the worst performance of George on guitar
Hmm, the vintage Gretsch sounds significantly fuller and deeper than the modded one, FWIW.
