Who else is addicted to these "Deconstructing Beatles" videos? Man, thank you so much for these videos, they are music classes!

[shelleywantiez]

George Martin was a genius. Talk about the perfect blend of orchestra and Rock and Roll. It always worked. No doubt the fifth Beatle. He earned that title.

[jaelge]

Ringo never ceases to impress me. Nothing ever out of place.

[dpbuff]

the orchestral arrangement is so expressive it could be released as a track on its own

[oranjuly]

The orchestral arrangement is incredible. It sounds Psychedelic, Indian, played with the confidence of a British Naval anthem.

[carlosnovoapinzon]

The orchestral section in this song is just outstanding! Sir George was an absolute genius!

[JaKrish]

Give me another band that has ever gone from a “Love Me Do” to a “I am the Walrus”. And all within only about 5 years!

[dr.willyvan]

Listening to John Lennon’s voice is like listening to Hendrix ‘s guitar I don’t know why every move they made was Royal.

[danielconnolly]

Ringo! The swing in his drumming is just mesmerising. No one else like him.

[LJarvo]

Ringo just doesn't get enough credit for being a brilliant drummer, you know it's him, he has his sound and it always works

[davecphilly]

The orchestra track is a masterpiece by itself.

[pauljonesesquire]

What a score from GM, I love the way he gets inside Johns head and transcribes it, remarkable.

[jerryhatrik]

Surely the greatest piece of music of the twentieth century.

[MusicbyMrcorbett]

Five Geniuses at the top of their game!

[EricHansenGuitarist]

Masterpiece. From writing, arranging to recording. The orchestral arrangement is astounding.

[erichfischer]

Orchestral arrangement is impeccable, George Martin, pure unadulterated genius.

[osbezouros]

just a genius part of the orchestra made by George Martin, the fifth Beatles without a doubt. continue with the work this is perfect the sound quality i'm from São Paulo Brazil and follow your channel directly.

[timgrant]

The orchestral, part is amazing isolated. So is Johns voice again those little inflections

[adammartin]

I never really appreciated how brilliant the string arrangement is on this until now.

[TonyZehnder]

No Ringo would be no Beatles without his AMAZING drumming. Deconstructing Beatle songs shows the immense talent that these four young men had. I firmly believe that history will come full circle on giving Mr. Starkey his proper due....
