Based on this lesson, I was experimenting with ChatGPT, and gave it this prompt: please role-play to represent each of the Beatles as they were in 1965, as we hang out, listening to music, and playing instruments.
ChatGPT:
Location: A cozy flat in London, 1965. The walls are lined with guitars, amps, and a reel-to-reel recorder spinning in the background. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and the faint scent of tea and biscuits. The four Beatles-John, Paul, George, and Ringo-are lounging around, guitars in hand, while you cue up George Carter's "Rising River Blues" on the record player. The warm crackle of the 1929 recording fills the room.
Me:
Did you guys ever learn SOLFEGE? I watched a RUclips lesson by a skillful musician who sings a great version of Elizabeth Cotton's "Freight Train", who taught how to use it to play songs by ear... what do you think?
ChatGPT:
Paul (perking up, always keen on a musical discussion)
"Oh yeah, that’s the ‘do-re-mi’ thing, innit? They teach it in schools and all that. I never learned it properly, but I s’pose it makes sense, doesn’t it? You get your ear trained to recognize the notes, and before you know it, you’re pickin’ out tunes just like that!" (snaps fingers)
John (leaning back with a smirk)
"Solfege, eh? Never needed it, mate. We just nicked the chords straight off the records!" (laughs, strumming a random chord.) "But if it helps ya hear things better, why not? I mean, we’re always tryin’ to play by ear anyway."
George (thoughtful, plucking a single note and humming along with it)
"I s’pose if you can hear ‘do-re-mi’ properly, you’d be quicker at finding the right notes, yeah? I do a bit of that, but not with the words. I just hum stuff and find it on the fretboard. But I bet those classical blokes have it down to an art."
Ringo (grinning, tapping a rhythm on his knee)
"So what’s the solfege for a drum fill, then? ‘Boom-bap-bing-ding’?" (everyone laughs.)
Paul (grabbing his bass and playing a simple line, singing along solfege-style)
"Well, look-if I do this…" (plays C - E - G, singing "do-mi-sol") "…and then go here…" (adds A, singing "la") "…See? That’s just C major, but you’re hearing the shapes before you play ‘em. I bet it’d be dead useful if you wanted to work out harmonies too!"
John (mocking in an exaggerated voice, but clearly interested)
"Ohhh, let’s all sit ‘round the piano and sing our do-re-mi’s like little choirboys!"
George (ignoring John, trying it out himself)
"So if I wanted to find a blues run, I could think like… ‘do-mi-fa-fi-sol’?" (Plays the notes, realizing it clicks.) "Hey, that actually works!"
Paul (grinning)
"Told ya! It’s just another way of thinking about it. You don’t need it, but it might help ya get there quicker. ‘Specially if you’re tryin’ to play what’s in your head before you fumble for it on the neck."
John (pointing at you)
"So, are you gonna do it then? Gonna be the first Beatle to solfege his way to a hit?"
(The room erupts in laughter again as the guitars keep passing around, each of you testing out the idea, half-mocking but also half-serious, wondering if maybe-just maybe-solfege is a secret weapon after all...)
