I always liked the way the guitar is strummed in I’m Only Sleeping .  When you start on the high E string and go down from there, it just creates a totally different sound than if you start with the low strings.  It sounds, I dunno, “crunchier” maybe?a-hard-days-night-ringo-7

I also really like the way John sings “world going by my window” for some reason.

Never said I didn’t love Paul’s voice. Anyway, it’s just a sensation the notes give me, with all those queer Indian intervals. a-hard-days-night-paul-11

It’s just the way you described it felt so Pauletteish.

A solid, distinct up-strum does have a really cool sound… it’s unexpected, especially when you kick off a song that way… It sounds kind of backwards to our ears, accustomed as they are to plain down-strums, which suits the song and George’s backwards guitar amazingly.

Damn, they’re good! #1,587

I was just listening to “It’s All Too Much “, as it came up random on my player, and I rather like the line “Show me that I’m everywhere, and get me home for tea.” I also rather love the “Too-oo much-ah!” and the whole ending part.

The guitar part that comes directly before the line ‘I need a fix cause I’m going down’ in Happiness Is A Warm Gun

It sounds so extremely druggy and like the musical way of saying ‘I don’t care about anything’-really like I imagine Heroin had sounded if it made a noise. 

At the same time, every time I hear that guitar part I have the strange desire to exclaim ‘Oh yeah!’…a-hard-days-night-paul-4

Long time no see! Decided to listen to 181 FM Beatles and head something that I really enjoyed:

From Me To You , after ‘and keep you satisfied’ that little “Ooo”

also, in My Bonnie , after the both the choruses second “My Bonnie lies over the ocean” when you hear that cute little slide down of vocals and those little shrieks during the guitar solo.

Sorry if i can’t type well right now, just a tired morning

I don’t feel like reading all the posts on this thread so keep that in mind if I mention a fragment that’s already been mentioned.

– The reversed guitar solo in I’m Only Sleeping .

– Paul’s(?) singing on the last “I’ve got time” at the end of I Want To Tell You .

– George’s “I don’t knoooooow, IIIIII DON’T KNOW” in Something .

– Paul or John (whoever, there’s been debate on who this is) singing “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah!” at the end of All You Need Is Love .

I don’t know how many hundreds (thousands?) of times I’ve heard “It Won’t Be Long ” since 1979 or so…and until yesterday, I don’t know that I’d ever paid attention to the little play on words: “It Won’t Be Long …till I be-long to you”…nice!

One theory goes that in ‘Blue Jay Way ‘ George is really singing “Don’t belong!!”, a message to the Hippies, drop-outs, kiddies and whoever else to not be part of the establishment, instead of “don’t be long”.

In the last line of the middle section in You Can’t Do That , “You talking that way, they’d laugh in my face”, John gets the last word “face” to both rhyme with “way” and start the first word of the next line, “So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine”.

Ringo singing ‘Ah, rock on George, for Ringo one time’ in Honey Don’t , George’s fuzz-tone guitar in Love You To – I couldn’t believe it’s a guitar at the beginning, impressive you can get so many different sounds out of a guitar- and John singing Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright  with trilled ‘r’. I generally love it when John or Paul imitate an accent like in Maggie Mae , for instance.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Yeah, that’s indeed really cool, just as the whole solo itself!

I really love the echo after the last chord at the end of The End . You suddenly feel like you’re in a church or a great hall and it’s very fitting to the awe one feels after this great song in this great medley in this great album!

I was playing this on guitar earlier. The Concert For George version also has great timing, but it is much easier to play than George’s part. I have not heard timing like that anywhere else.

I think slightly off timenness is what gives it its charm

The ‘ahhh’s in a certain mix of A Day In The Life

The acoustic intro to For You Blue , though I despise what comes after.

‘Give you everything I’ve got for little peace of mind’

The guitars throughout And I Love Her

The strings on the Something bridge.

The switch to the sub dominant on Anna (Go To Him).

When the horns kick in on Let It Be .

The tamboura intro to LITSWD.

 

On a non Beatles note, one of my favorites is in Kiss Off by the Violent Femmes where he’s counting up and he goes ‘eight, eight, I forgot what eight was for but nine, nine’.

I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.
