Howard Goodalls 20th Century Greats - The Beatles (Part 3)

[qooseek]

he sounds like Ringo !

[lottaluck]

The Beatles were genius.Elvis was rubbish

[Cheer10101010]

@lottaluck ...The beatles as a whole were rubbish but a few of the members were talented.

[MrJohndl]

@Cheer10101010

Did you actually say that the Beatles were rubbish? OMG you are a moron.

[SuperBluesMetal]

my god! that philip glass piece was an ear sore!!

[phillipmart]

what about george marin?

[BrutusMcCrunch]

Interesting.Why hasn't anyone been as eager to experiment lately?At least since U2 in the 90's

[deekomendez]

@BrutusMcCrunch Have you tried radiohead?

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@deekomendez

I'm not talking about buying fancy drum machines and ruining one's career for no reason....thats what Thom and Jonny did.Everything after the classic 2nd album(The Bends)...is horrible,pretentious nonsense.

[BrutusMcCrunch]

What U2 did in the 1990's actually worked.

[deekomendez]

@BrutusMcCrunch well I was trying to be helpful. I have a different view.

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@deekomendez

I appreciate the spirit of your suggestion.Thanks,buddy.

Man, it's not easy to play/sing a song, especially a relatively simple & very "familiar sounding" one like Danny Boy with all those weird key changes. Props to this man for the whole work, very good job.

[LesPaul2006]

True. Avant-garde whatever is the death of all artistic expression.

[FreeGuitarLicks]

@LesPaul2006 That is extremely stupid statement.

[crubba]

it takes a genius to write music like the beatles... but it takes something more to be able to understand it and explain it in a technical but understandable way

[capedcamish]

I really like Howard Goodall, but why is he shitting on the avant-garde?

[hmaren]

Because they enforced a dogmatic cultural hegemony on students for several generations. They basically ran all of the major grad programs in America, at least. If you weren't writing in a post-tonal, serial style, you wouldn't be taken seriously. Bernstein and Copland caught a lot of grief for writing "accessible" music.

[lgsm64]

@capedcamish I didn't get the feeling that he is shitting on avant-garde but showing that the average music fan doesn't get it.

[nickeax]

Is modulation simply a key change? Or is it the same tonic with a different type of key?

[hmaren]

It can be either. Most commonly it will be to a change to a different tonic, but you can modulate from tonic major to its parallel minor, and vice versa.

[DunxMeister]

i can't imagine anyone else doing a better job of presenting. He's brilliant!

[tough0crowd0eh9]

Frank Zappa pwns the Beatles!

[stdaedalus]

Even funnier, the crappy modulated version of Danny Boy sounds like it could be a Billy Joel song.

[SuperBluesMetal]

@stdaedalus hahahahaha! what an observation dude! brilliant! ROFL!

[rasputin63]

Haha... That modulating version of "Danny Boy" sounds magic to those of us with advanced ears.

[ratsouffle]

Certainly more interesting than the traditional version :) The second and third modulations in that seem to work the best.

[stevekool19]

If only we all had your advanced hearing.

We might find a cure for cancer and usher in world peace.

Curse our mediocre ears.

[rasputin63]

LOL

[anthonythirteen]

Clearly Macca and Lennon evolved wonderfully as composers, but to what extent was George Martin the real impetus for this - an expert teacher with a group of very enthusiastic students, who embraced classical music from both West and East.

[metcalfesongs]

Yes. Part Four. We need part 4!

[bboywon]

music is simply beautiful, it's the most amazing magic i have ever stumbled upon. thank you for sharing these videos! i want to know more about music.

[Sutyanass]

where is part 4?

[Aristurtle89]

my music teacher at school was shit- ive learned more from this bloke than i ever did at school.

[procrustesuk]

Goodall's a genius, give him a knighthood!

[vulcanicspice]

Omg, I love this documentary! And I love the host! He explains everything so well :D!

[ludachris475]

Beautiful.

[MrBronson66]

This guy is really good. Everything he's saying is dead simple for anyone who's played or studied music, but he's brilliant at explaining it for a general audience. I love how he sets up "Penny Lane", plays a bit of the song, and at the exact point where everyone will go "oh wow, I see what he means", we see him standing there with a look on his face like "you see what I mean?" If more music teachers were like this, we'd have more musicians.

[GanoMaganza]

@MrBronson66 we'd have more good musicians...that's the problem

[nutherefurlong]

That first Penny Lane rendition is almost melancholy. I wouldn't mind hearing the whole song like that :)

[mjd7]

Awesome!

[whizkidforte]

I like it when Howard Goodall sings! WOW! :D

[ken131]

Yes yes yes!
