Listen to how John mutes his chords immediately after each strum during the verses, creating a "chopping" effect and adding to the percussive groove of the song. He was a brilliant rhythm guitarist.
What I like about this, is that you can hear each part in isolation, and thereby pick out "details" you might never have. I consider myself a rabid "Beatlemaniac" for the past 44 years, and even I am hearing little details I never noticed.
Nope. If you think that rhythm section is John's isolated rhythm part you have never done a qualitative disectional study of the recording or John's actual rhythm part on the recording.
@@sananton2821 They got a recording contract without Ringo, but with the understanding that they would have to use a session drummer because the drummer they originally had wasn't good enough. Are you unknowledgeable about rock music or just a Pete Best fanboy?
lighting in a bottle. John's guitar just drives the song. the whole thing every part including George's quirky riffs is magic but I've never heard more incredible vocal track! the overtones of their voices blend amazingly. I love listening like it's so dramatic when you finally hear all the tracks then voices. this why conquered the world. they had their own thing and a long time ago. thanks posting.
You do realise that you're hearing John and Paul with his 'John' voice, perfectly in unison like many tracks on Beatles for Sale. Just like they would rehearse in Paul's house in Liverpool...😁
@@hubabavaIt's John double-tracked until the harmonies. I don't Want to Spoil The Party is also just him. Paul fanatics won't let John have anything 😂
Note that they were already experimenting with overdubbing here. Not just the handclaps, but the five note lead guitar/bass riff that overlaps the two note guitar bend in the verses. 9:50
This is so great. Ahhh, Its George's crashing Gretsch growl that jumps out in the mix on the intro that always grabbed me. This little band was tight and punchy as hell..
Anybody notice the overdub (guitar) 2nd bar, 3rd beat of each verse, playing eighth notes (D, Db, D, Eb, E {whole note, next bar}. That is without question an overdub unless there was a third guitarist on the session.
@@mpbaughYes, it's an overdub but it is NOT the guitar low E string. It's an overdub on the BASS guitar by McCartney played on the higher lighter bass string. Did you even bother to read what I wrote above your response?
. I was 13 at the time this song came out I'm 73 now. Back then we were all just listening to the whole song and going crazy. Now 60 years later we are still going crazy over their songs but now we are dissecting the music and realizing that these guys were only in their early 20s and were musical Einsteins.
As a recording guy myself,doing my own albums and playing all the instruments,it is interesting to me that some of the instruments,usually guitars,can be slightly out of tune,as George's guitar is on this song,and come out in the mix sounding really good.I have experienced this in my own projects.We have to remember that there were no electronic tuners then,or pitch controllers,and they probably tuned to a pitch pipe or a piano as I myself had to do years ago. This song is why I started playing in bands as a teenager! Anyone know who played the eighth note run going into the e minor chord after the first 2 lines of each verse.It had to be overdubbed,as George and John were busy doing other things there-?
His guitar is NOT slightly out of tune. It's the way he plays a few riffs isolated bending a string. When he plays straight, like on the bridge, it is perfectly in tune with the rhythm guitar. It all works great. This isolated thing is putting every little thing under a microscope which is a little ridiculous. LOL I mean if we want every little thing to be perfect, then we don't have real music, instead, we might as well just have a computer hookup which is not music & boring as hell. LOL
@@lazrpo Nothing is perfect. You could say that about any guitar at any time. THE POINT is that it all sounds good and everything works well together. That's all that matters. Now, shut up. LOL
@@yesterdayproductions1019 So it's slightly out of tune, and isn't "perfectly in tune with the rhythm guitar?" Now you're just contradicting yourself lmao. At least stick to one side of your bs if you're going to say it.
Just great. I still don't understand how you separate the guitars with the mvsep. I am using it but it only allows me 4 tracks. in other are all the guitars, keyboards, etc. but they can't be separated... :(
@@jk4675 I think there’s a point that Hammond organ was played in early takes so might have been in the backing in this. It’s pretty compelling but might be wrong. I think George Martin talks about it somewhere.
@@yesterdayproductions1019 I watched a whole series of videos talking about how they’d tried organ and accidentally left it in but then I’ve since seen the debunk of it.
@@Crust2020 That's a very slight quick noise AFTER the vocal line that happens sometimes in recording especially back in 1963. Also , sometimes you might hear a slight clearing of the throat. It is not a vocal flub. LOL
oh I do other bands, it's 50/50 : 1 day it's beatles, other day it's anything else, otherwise even I would get bored! But it's always the Beatles stuff that the algorithm and the community likes more

There’s actually an organ on that track too!
@@TheactivepsychosPeople say that but I don't hear one.
@@zapdunga12I do! If you listen to the beat before the bridge. Very audible!
@@cameroncrandall2699 That's Paul playing chords on his bass - when mixed with the guitars, it sounds like an organ.
Strong left hand to do that constantly

Notice how Ringo's rock solid drumming transformed this excellent bar band into a world-class rock combo.
They got a recording contract without Ringo. Any halfway decent drummer would have been the exact same.

@@sananton2821. Jeff Poccaro could have come up with something.

Glad somebody else noticed this!!! I just posted my observation...
0:00 Bass
2:24 Drums + Handclaps
4:47 Guitars
7:12 Rhythm Guitar
9:40 Lead Guitar
12:08 Instrumental
14:33 Vocals
This is so great. Ahhh, Its George's crashing Gretsch growl that jumps out in the mix on the intro that always grabbed me. This little band was tight and punchy as hell..
Wow, the vocals are off the charts, especially at the ends with those high harmonies. Wow
If I ever saw them live I would’ve fainted at the “I can’t hiiiiiiiide” part. It’s too much
Isn't it something? How these guys tapped into the consciousness not just once but many many times....
Paul playing chords on the bass in 1963!
I think it's an octave.

That cat Ringo is a helluva drummer. So tight it sounds like a drum machine. 😊
Those vocals at 14:33.. wow... that's the sound that turned heads in '63-'64
He’s back, and with a strong opener 👍

That vocal track is insanely tight. True John does clash a few lyrics-classic Lennon move!
What program do you use to separate George's guitar and John's only?
I love it. I really, really do. Thank you!
marvelous
Absolute magic. If you ever get around to doing any Lovin’ Spoonful, I think Darling be Home Soon is a great choice!
Darling Be Home is incredible. Don't forget Nashville Cats and the dark tune known as Summer in the City.
Love that junkyard dog rhythm guitar
LOL! That's exactly how I use to describe John's playing here. It really helps drive the song.
From what I've heard not sure this is true but that this was the first song Paul recorded with his '63 Hofner.
Can anyone confirm this?
Could be, but I've heard that it was Don't Bother Me from With The Beatles
I think I hear it on the last stanza “haaaaaaand”
Just great.
I still don't understand how you separate the guitars with the mvsep. I am using it but it only allows me 4 tracks. in other are all the guitars, keyboards, etc. but they can't be separated... :(
The panning in the song allows me to isolate the left/right channels which the different guitars are hard panned in
@@rbstems Thanks!!
This remembrance me to a Cadillac from the 1964
Bob Dylan sings this song When I first heard ``I can't hide,'' I changed it to ``I get.'' I think he misunderstood it as "hight".

Imagine if they had GARAGE BAND….. 🎵🎶🎸
Sometimes I think this song was the Beatles high water mark…
Could you be able to separate the drums and handclaps please
Anyone else think John used his Gibson J-160e on this recording?
No. Rickenbacker 325.
14:33
Gave me chills
McCartneys complex harmony in the middle is too low in the mix in my opinion. Great energetic track.x
No it isn't. You can hear it perfectly over the melody by John.
Should read _rhythm guitar and Hammond organ_
it shouldn't
there is no hammond organ in this song. you have been lied to

John flubs the lyrics.
You're crazy. There is no flub of any lyrics anywhere. You are thinking of "Please Please Me" where a wrong word was sung.

I have a challenge: do other bands besides the Beatles

@@rbstems ah gotcha. It’s pretty cool. I love listening to isolated tracks.
Why?
something is not right. it's like a skip on a record.
There is no skip. It's in perfect time.
Even when the voices are EQUALLY loud, John's voice still stands out a little more on the versus.
