If that last chord takes up almost the entire piano and lasts for what feels like several minutes, then I think it might be A Day in the Life. Otherwise it might be harder
Well stated
I have a Beatles Challenge for you: from only a short snippet of each song, guess whether it’s The Beatles or The Rutles.
Great idea!
That’s a great Idea! Even just Beatles or not from a short clip
@Andrew at ChangingWay I’ve been having a ball lately enjoying the extended Rutle catalogue recently uploaded by @Rutlemania. It’s been a really accessible way to enjoy the music of he Rutle member’s non-Rutle catalogues, which previously I’ve found a bit hard to get into.
But it’s also reignited my Beatles enthusiasm and made me try to tackle the Beatle solo work which can be pretty daunting. “It’s all part of the soup” as George said.
@mikemakesmusic7 definitely, there’s certainly a lot of Beatlesque stuff out there.
If it’s still too easy the Beatles category could also include solo projects, that’s a challenge.
’If I Fell’ and ’With a Girl Like You’ are almost identical!
This was, at least for me, by far the hardest of these. I did alright, not great, on the others, but I barely got any on this. I love that you’re doing these.
The drum one was impossible for me… but this one wasn’t much easier!
This was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be after #1 !!
As a Beatles fan for 59 years I must say this was difficult but I got 11 out of 15.
Legend 🙇
Very well done! I’ve been a fan ever since 1962 – and I got a (very) measly 3. 😞
I’ve also been a Beatles fan for 59 years, and I only got 2. So it takes much more than that — congratulations!
Beat ya, I got two.
Respect!
I was feeling confident after I knew “In My Life” immediately. But it was all downhill from there. I got “Oh Darling,” and that was it.
Heh….same. On the first one I was like, HA! Obvious…somehow. In My LIfe, easy.
At the end I got 4 right. And it wasn’t easy.
I’d give David an 8 rather than 6….because his first guess was right on two….and even the things he got wrong, he got wrong for good reasons. This was TOUGH!
Two here as well. Got With a little help from my friends because of the harmonies, which are even more cemented in my mind because Noel Gallagher put them in Oasis’ She’s Electric.
exactly my experience 😆😆
I saw this comment right after hearing the first clip and correctly guessing in my life. I was also feeling good, then I see this, and I’m like “uh oh”
**update: I got 2/15. Boy howdy, it was all downhill from there 😅
Hahaha me too
That was quite a difficult one, but I think there are a few things that really help if you know the songs well: The length of the chord, the key of the chord, what instruments were there, and anything that might come at that very end of the clip, such as the A major chord at the end of Oh Darling. I got full marks on this one. Probably didn’t help that I’ve been enjoying The Beatles’ music so much that I probably know all of their albums a bit too well by now…
I got 8. In almost every song I started singing the next song in the album trying to remember the song before it 😂
Ooooo that’s clever!! Wish I’d thought of that 😅
That’s how I got _Oh Darling!_ _Octopus’s Garden_ started right up in my mind’s ear.
That’s so funny. I was thinking it was Octopus’s Garden, but this is probably why.
that’s an amazing strategy.
@grant50 Same here! That also helped me confirm a few of the guesses for which I was otherwise unsure.
This was definitely the hardest quiz you’ve done, I only got 4/15
This was really hard! Props to whoever managed this!
I did so terribly on this one I stopped counting halfway through 😂 Definitely the hardest one yet
They were very creative; even ’til the end.
Tough but so enjoyable! Many thanks David and I always enjoy.
I also lost count of my score as I was doing so poorly: 7/15. I started hearing the “next song” in my mind, and this helped me get a few of them (as we all know the album sequencing so well). Also interesting how you could sometimes know the album sound production. I immediately knew the “rooftop” sound but guessed the wrong song! Also discerned the Sgt. Pepper sound and guessed the wrong song. Great video/quiz. Please keep them coming.
I managed to get 12 out of 15. These songs are so familiar to me, they’re like hearing a friends voice on the phone, I only need to hear one word to recognize them.
14/15. I guessed The End instead of Something. Listening back to both of them, they do have a pretty similar ending, which I never realized before. As people are pointing out, the strategy of imagining what song comes next was pretty helpful.
I guessed The End for a different one. I got Something because I had just heard the isolated strings on The Beatles channel this very day!
I said the same thing! We both must have a good ear because they both end on a C chord
That was very hard indeed. Most of the ones I actually got, I got by knowing what the next song on the album was and then figuring it out from there.
Such an interesting test! It’s pretty easy to identify even the first note of each Beatles song, but this is truly big challenge!
It’s cute how David reacts every time he guessed it right, like he’d just escaped a serious danger by a hair’s breadth😊
Anyways, you’re doing a great job with your videos, David!
I have learnt a lot and your skills and sense for music are amazing😍
(Pardon my English pls)
One of my favorite final chords from their earlier albums is the final chord in Any Time at All. The sudden change in guitar tone for the one chord makes it feel really punchy and I love it for that.
If you haven’t been giving much love to their early work, please do so. They aren’t as groundbreaking or high-fidelity as their later work, but it has their most energetic and rocking songs they’ve ever put to tape, especially their covers.
Dude – that was one hell of a difficult quiz! Thanks so much for coming up with this very creative idea! I got 6 (I think)
