Brad Mehldau plays Golden Slumbers by The Beatles 

Here's Brad's amazing performance of Golden Slumbers off of his new album Your Mother Should Know. It's such a great song! It was a tough one to transcribe because there are a lot of subtleties and Brad passes the melody back and forth between his hands. Also, check out these funky low lines in the left hand! Please consider supporting me over at Patreon ( www.patreon.com/michaellucke ) where you get access to my entire catalog of transcriptions as well as PDFs of every new transcription I do going forward.

Breathtaking. It really brings out what good bones this song has, and also Mr. Mehldau's prowess on the keys.

"Dear Prudence" quotes in the extended vamp (?).... I like to think Brad is bringing John and Paul together with some deep love :) ... and of course the immortal Chuck Berry makes an appearance .... thank you Michael for this priceless transcription

Another excellent job of a consumate performance from Brad.

Amazing interpretation and variations.

No one is doing what Brad does. Wow.

Guy coughing is killing me

The most unbelievable thing is "how he can resist than playing 'Carry That Weight' at the end?" : ) genius...

I’m always the amazed at the detail and accuracy of your work, Michael. I’ve been collecting transcriptions of Brad Mehldau’s music for years and just feel enormously fortunate to come across your craft. This is another of Brad’s masterpieces and your transcription brings to light the simplicity and complexity of Brad’s arrangements and solo approach. Thank you for making this available. - Arvin

The skill he has for the control of finger independence to bring out the melody over the harmony is amazing.

Transcription is amazing, the rendering of those 'dissonant' ninths in certain points is perfect : )

Supreme musicianship.

absolutely fantastic, thank you

Is the pdf transcription equal to the one in the video, because as much as i try i just cannot make it seem right. In the beginning he plays the melody in the left hand, and in the sheets its not there. Am i missing something here?

i much prefer his playing when he is with someone with more fire, like joshua redman....
