that progression (in various keys) - is used in millions of pop songs.
 

Although, yes, Paul seemed very fond of it - it's older than he is - it's older than dirt. I believe God was whistling that progression when he hung the stars.

Yeah, I thought I had that somewhere before. It's a nice lick though.

Isn't that used for the arpeggio sequence at the end of You Never Give Me Your Money?

No, that's C, G, A if I recall correctly.

Hello Goodbye, Rocky Raccoon and Your Mother Should Know all feature the same chord progression of 'C, C/B, A(m)(7)' at some point in those songs, it's become a bit of a McCartney signature. Anyone know any other Beatles/Macca songs with this chord sequence?

I always felt that the guitar in 'Twisted Logic' by Coldplay sounded very similar to 'I Want You (She's so Heavy'

And the piano at the beginning of Oasis's 'Don't Look Back in Anger' is close to 'Imagine'. Too close for comfort, if you ask me.

 

Plus there's one bit towards the end of 'All You Need is Love' that sounds a lot like 'She Loves You'...

Or is it the other way around?

I always found the "uuuu/aaaa-lalalas" in "You won't see me" and "Nowhere man" too similar to like them both. One of the very few repetitiv moments in the Beatles' catalogue, imo.

Yeah, I've heard people complain about that on occasion. It wouldn't be nearly so apparent if the songs weren't consecutive.

Similarly, if "Because" and "She's So Heavy" appeared back-to-back on Abbey Road, more people would notice how they begin with an identical 8-note sequence (and probably complain about it.)

Think For Yourself, The Word, Wait... They all sort of blend for me.

I don't know, that was the first thing that came to mind anyway. a-hard-days-night-george-8

If you listen closely to the electric version, I think there's someone playing a kazoo that got buried in the mix.

In all seriousness, I think bits of I Want You sound similar to Because.

Definitely. They are very similar arpeggio chord patterns

 

On 1, I think the songs from From Me To You to Eight Days A Week sound fairly similar.

It's Only Love and I Need You sound similar to me.

Also, in You Never Give Me Your Money, McCartney's vocal on "out of college, money spent" reminds me of Lady Madonna.
