"Here Comes The Sun" The Unheard Solo

Here's a great video that shows the value of a producer. It's a video of George Martin, his son Giles, and George Harrison's son Dhani listening to the tracks of George H's seminal "Here Comes The Sun" from one of The Beatles greatest albums - Abbey Road.

In the video you'll hear them soloing the individual tracks from the song, and then Dhani unmutes a guitar solo from George that wasn't included in the final track. As they marvel at it, you then also hear a Minimoog part that wasn't included as well.

Both of these parts are great in that they're performed well and add a lot to the song, but a producer's job is to sometimes pull in the reigns and say, "Enough" and not include a part because it takes a song in a different direct. George M obviously did that, and these parts were lost for decades before they were uncovered in this BBC documentary.

The Real Opening Chord To "Hard Days Night

Do you think you know what the opening chord to The Beatles song "A Hard Day's Night" is? I did. I thought for sure that it was an F9, or an F chord with a G on top. But there's a lot more to it than that.

In this video we have the legendary guitarist for The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive, Randy Bachman, describe that first chord, thanks to Giles Martin (son of Beatles producer George) being kind enough to play him the multitrack source so he could dissect it.
