@@AlexMcUpright as a complete novice learning this I notice my timing falls behind on the first two verses. To me it seems like the first two verses (0:16 to 0:35) speed up a little. This is true when I play with the Beatles recorded version as well. Do the first two verses speed up in your opinion? Or is it just my beginner skills?
I think (and I’m probably wrong!), but I think that chord is a Dm6 with an A in the bass. This little chord adds so much melancholy to the song! I kind of hear it as almost a mistake as on the single version, on the words ‘Mother Mary’ you go straight to the A minor. I’ve always preferred this version which includes that added Dm6/A
Best and accurate version of Let It Be on RU-vid, I love that chord variation on the final verse "I wake up to the sound of music..." - no one ever does it right but you nailed it
It is beautiful, my pianist great-grandmother had a Blüthner piano, that piano was sold and today it is difficult to find a video of this beautiful piano, thank you very much for uploading this beauty
Thanx Alex!as for me,that F6 with C in the bass was an apocalypse...most people use F in the bass I think...and me for 40 years now...!!excelent work on Hammond too!!i loved your videos man!
I know it cant entirely be recreated unless using a Bluthner (and even then no Bluthner sounds exactly like the original) but how on Earth can I get a sound anything close to the piano in this song! Any time I hear it on a keyboard it sounds so much higher even though its not being played any higher! High high end keyboards and pianos seems to be better but even then
When I listen to Paul’s Piano on this I seem to hear the into as C Chord CEGC and G Chord DGB and A minor Chord as CEA. Like in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CGj85pVzRJs.htmlsi=0uCaCJM4IJ5q1iq4
@@かつかつ-d8p I'd bet my money on that it wasn't a mistake. Rather, it seems to be a purposeful artistic decision, that masterfully accents the word 'mother' with the disharmony of longing and sadness (McCartney's mother died when he was a young boy).
That is not a mistake, that chord accents "Mother Mary". He wakes up to the sound of music and a vision of Mother Mary appears (which to him, is his mother, but to the listener is meant to be a religious vision of the Virgin Mary). The vision of Mother Mary is unsettling and dramatic. That chord masterfully cuts through the repetitive and "corny" chords at the right moment as a reveal to "Mother Mary". SO simple, yet so good.
