Paul doesn't make demos like most others - playing a piano or acoustic guitar and singing on a cassette tape (like John Lennon did). He does a full 4-track studio treatment, overdubbing several instruments and his own voice multi-tracked. That's why his demos are almost as good as the released versions.
@observer9670 yeah, thats too bad, because some of the demos on the Anthology are priceless. Pauls all sounded half or 3/4 produced and very much like the released track. Not so interesting as John & George's demo's.
i honestly think all of the beatles sucked at playing piano, compared to others. they just knew all the chords and how to use them for song writing. as for performance and capabilities, none of them were really that great.
@airnsmke I would agree in a sense but I think you are missing the point here. The art of writing a great pop song is to keep it relatively simple. The average person in the street would not understand the complexities of Bach or Rachmananoff. I think that Paul wrote "Long and Winding Road" - "Live and Let Die" and "Hey Jude" on piano as well as too many others to mention. That makes him a great piano player in my book as well as a great composer. I have a music degree by the way, no offence
@steveevh1 From what I read he did compose alot on the piano even when he lived with the Ashers. I'm sure you have heard Martha My Dear on the White Album. Great piano playing IMO.
@airnsmke If you want to analyse the composition on this the second section is worthy of any modern classical composer the chords are - A flat major 7, G minor 7, C7, F minor 7, F minor 11, E flat major 7, E flat 11. They float together seamlessly - it is a very harmonic progression and uses as much Chord substitution theory as we would see from Elgar or Debussy in their own way.

I prefer this-not so polished as the released version which is over produced-this is similar to 'Obladi oblada' in spirit
