    I was on a huge Beatles kick for years and what I always found cool was that you could basically listen to any song and say “This was written by John” or “This was Paul” by the guitar “structure.” Then if you still couldn’t figure it out, it was probably George! Just can’t imagine where music would be without the Beatles!

    • @HyBr1dRaNg3r
      @HyBr1dRaNg3r Год назад +74

      @@jasonhutter7534 That’s actually a pretty interesting question and I think would depend on how you define complicated…The best comparison I can make would be Penny Lane vs Across the Universe. Penny Lane(Paul) does a lot of moving the lower note in a chord, like “linking” his chord changes. I’d consider it technically challenging. Across the Universe(John) is more “abstract” and not as “grounded” in theory as Paul’s playing. It’s more experimental, if that makes any sense? With Paul, you can normally sense where he is going while John does more unexpected/out there kind of stuff.
      That was the opinion of myself and my guitar teacher after I had gone through a few years of Beetlemania😂
