The Beatles and the Ukulele: An Ongoing Love Affair

- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2018
- As documented in The Beatles Anthology, originally aired as a brilliant TV mini-series, the three surviving Beatles-Paul, George, and Ringo-got together in 1994 at George Harrison’s palatial Friar Park estate to reminisce and play a little. In an especially moving and revelatory sequence, George and Paul jam on a handful of tunes playing ukuleles while Ringo lays down a groove with brushes and handclaps.
Even though the mood is relaxed and the music spontaneous, what becomes obvious is that George was a formidable uke player, and Paul is no slouch himself. They jam on the Jimmy Reed blues chestnut “Baby, What You Want Me to Do,” with George laying down guitar-like lead lines. They then play a snippet of the Beatles’ “I Will,” after which George struggles to recall the lyrics of an unrecorded song of his- “Dehradun”- written during the Beatles’ stay in Rishikesh, India in 1968. They then launch into the 1920s vaudeville tune “Ain’t She Sweet,” a perfect ukulele vehicle.
Enjoy!

someone please give ringo his drums
Wish they’d kept going with the uke version of “I Will”.
Music just oozes from them.
AWESOME - I thought it must have been Friar Park . . . . What an AWESOME place !!!!
George top solo.
Ringo could've used a cajon right here.
man, i would love to know what exact chords george plays in aint she sweet
Same
@@TLS0ngs please do!!!
@@pedropaulovidal5994 not sure if you figured it out already but i wanted to learn it too i listened for like 30 minutes trying to figure it out but anyways it begins with
C G#7(Gdim) and then G7
then at the “yes i ask you very…” part it’s
C E7 A7 then C to G7 back to C
for the bridge he walks down chromatically from the C chord and the chords for that part are
F Fm then to C again
(make sure to keep the C down through the F and F minor chords that’s what you can hear ringing out and see him doing with his pinky.)
Then to end the bridge it gets a little funky right after “ain’t that perfection” you can hear him change to like an Esus4 fingered differently then what it usually is, he’s fretting it 0230. He follows the melody of “Vo de do doo” with the chords here so it’s
Esus4(0230)
then Am2nd inversion(0231)
and then ends on the G7 again.
The next verse is the same until the end where paul sings “ain’t she sweet” to close it and george goes from the C to the A7 i’m sure you can play that and hear where it matches up cause it’s hard to describe but it’s kind of like the wrap up chord.
I can’t really tell you what he does at the end it’s a bunch of sliding up the board on a G7 i think i’m not sure 😂 anyways sorry for the HUGE description let me know if you’re confused on anything cause i don’t think i did the best job explaining im not even sure if i got it right it’s just what i heard and could kind of see.

Thanks 🙏 matey... 🌺👊
it's cringy watching George ignore Paul when he mentions going down to the village...Harrison full of himself
Oh be quiet. George was very humble. Leave the man alone, you no good lowlife.
Be quiet. George was very humble. Paul is full of himself.
this sounds terrible
i no longer much like the Beatles. Frigging played to death. Dated. Ukuleles? Yes, of course, a musician will find it difficult to negotiate a way through life being able to avoid them but it can be done and life is richer and more meaningful by far for never having had a ukulele in it and, as a bonus, ukuleles are excellent judges of character so you can easily avoid a lot of quite undesirable characters by simply determining as soon as possible whether or not they own or play the ukulele. A gentleman, even if he was quite adept on the horrid little thing, would never play one in public and never admit in good company that he could play one. The thought of there being evidence to the contrary would be quite upsetting. No wonder they hid this sort of thing away. It was bad enough they had long hair.
Good god, man. The hell are you on about?
@@ScarletVoodoo Ukulele is a very handy instrument when you are a song writer and want to write down songs coming out of your head. It can even sound stunning in the hands of a master. It can be used to teach music - especially the skills needed to cleverly compromise for a very restricted fingerboard. It can be well arranged into pieces sometimes. I'm still waiting for a Chris Thile of the ukulele. A Bela Fleck of the Ukulele. If you like 4 strings then banjo or mandolin. As for Beatles - i enjoy it when someone cleverly covers a beatles song - especially as an instrumental but if they played 2 i'd quickly zone out and look for my phone. I guess i could hack a going to a gig of beatles instrumental covers if they were all brilliant and mostly fusions of style/instrument and i was with friends and we were drinking. Otherwise, playing beatles music would be not one of the things to fill the remaining years of my life. Incidentally - i bought every single, EP and album they released - mostly as they released them. Played those 45s and LPs to death. Don't need to hear them. They are always there. Hearing them again is a waste of good hearing time.
@@murrayhobbs Why are you wasting your time watching them and making comments the length of a bible then?
Bots of New York, is that you?
Crustiest sounding comment I've maybe ever read, and no doubt from a bitter old fossil of a man, which on RUclips is really saying something. If you are a musician you are definitely the guy who shows up to bluegrass jams solely to berate and assault people without pre-war Martins. Hilarious, but in an "at you" and not "with you" sort of way.
