george played so many instruments...

Does anyone know what all instruments George played? I've tried to name them all but I can never get very far.

That was a cool little link, Echoes.:thumb:

Voice is obviously one

I wouldn't consider voice an instrument.

I would.

Figure, a voice is used as one all the times, choirs and lyrics obviously...but if you can bang anything and consider it percussion (which it technically is), then voice can be an instrument as well

Also, it can be improved simply by practicing at it, and follows the music scale (in most cases) like instruments do.

Thats just my opinion, but i think voice/vocals easily qualifies as an instrument, just one everybody has their whole lives

and way to save the thread. :thumb: i dont know why it keeps dying

Yeah, it's sad. It dies a lot. I guess you could argue that voice is an instrument, but you can talk with your voice. It has practical purposes beyond music, which instruments don't. Whatev.

I've got a cool version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by this guy who plays Ukelele, I can send it to anyone if you want it. It's really good, I was suprised.

I think it could be an instrument, it depends on how you use it. They way its used in the Beatles it defenetly is, but I can't think of any good examples that I wouldn't get flammed for right now, but if your just talking or not showing much talent at all then it isn't an instrument.

You could argue that vocals as used by the Beegees was an instrument.

My biggest argument for vocals being used as as an instrument are three words: Simon and Garfunkle

I wish I could spell Garfunkle's name :upset:

CSN&Y. Voice is most definately an instrument.

Ok... you guys are right. I retract my statement.

i know where your coming from with the plausability of vocals being an instrument...but its a good topic.

I think it can be used in every way like any other instrument, but is the only one unique between all people. Not that emo-screamos or metal bands dont use it as an instument, but abuse it as one...much like C tuned guitar and triple coated muffled drums.

Paul McCartney? He did it live (200 feet in front of me in fact)

No, it's not Paul, its Jake Shimabukuro.

Patti Harrison is actually a fan of his.

Can you guys tell me on which songs Paul and John sing? I think I know a few, but I'd like to recognize their voices better.

Just like 3 or 4 songs each, so I can differentiate between them.

i have a vintage beatles album and its called "help".is it worth any thing?

[QUOTE=willis2441]i have a vintage beatles album and its called "help".is it worth any thing?[/QUOTE]

I paid $15 (CAD) for that record in mint condition. It is worth something (everything is worth something), not enough for you to get excited over though. Prices always vary of course.

I would rather keep the album and listen to it, then sell it.

paul: golden slumbers, let it be, the long and winding road, helter skelter,

john: come together, i am the walrus, in my life, a day in the life (main verses, not the bridge),

i always used to think In my Life was sung by paul, havnt listened to it for a while tho.

John: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (More high pitched)

Paul: When I'm 64 (More sonorous)

the easiest song to tell the difference is a day in the life. the beginning and end are sung by john, but in the middle there is the "woke up, got out of bed" part. that's paul singing.

I always thought the easiest songs that you could hear the vocal differances were "I am the Walrus" and "Get Back"

Ok cool. I wasn't sure about Come Together, so that makes it clear now.

Come Together, I think, is the most difficult song to differentiate between their voices.

Yeah. Come Together could definitely be legitimately sung by Paul.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Come Together, I think, is the most difficult song to differentiate between their voices.[/QUOTE]

Yeah he could make his voice sound just like Johns, there is a track he did on Band on the Run that sounds exactly like him. I think he sort of did it as a "I don't need you" shot.

has anyone seen the let it be (dvd)?

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]John: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (More high pitched)

Paul: When I'm 64 (More sonorous)[/QUOTE]

Both those songs were sped up for the record, therefore both songs are higher pitched than originally played.

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]has anyone seen the let it be (dvd)?[/QUOTE]

i own it

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]Beatles True Rcok albumns:

Please Please Me
Help
Hard Days Night
Rubber Soul
Let It be


*apologises if i forgot anything[/QUOTE]

I don't about Rubber soul that's the most folkie album

[QUOTE=GeorgeHarrison]i own it[/QUOTE]

really I wasn't sure if it was out because have never been able to find it. All I have is a crappy tape of a tape, but I love that movie.
Does the DVD have any special bonus features?

I dont think there is a DvD of it, all i have is a bootleg DvD that was originally a VHS.

P.S. my new avatar kicks arse

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]Both those songs were sped up for the record, therefore both songs are higher pitched than originally played.[/QUOTE]


hmm, thanks, I didn't know that :strokes chin:

George Harrison is also your your user name, are you implyingthat you get all the babes? You sly devil...

Your new avatar definitely rocks. I was actually going to mention it regardless of your mentioning it.

Whats the price for the first edition of "introducing the Beatles" and "the white album" 'cause i'm want to sell them.

NOTE: theyre all semi-new and in optimus condition.

Introducing The Beatles would be your best bet for money. The White Album is pretty common.

That's a little more hepfull ,thanks
