229: Something Deconstructed

A new phase SATB episode: audio with full video accompaniment! My guests are returning musician Jack Petruzzelli (Fab Faux, Joan Osborne, Patti Smith), joined by Cameron Greider (Freedy Johnston, Sean Lennon, Rufus Wainwright), who in the past year developed a series of online Beatles classes. For the latest, The Beatles and You, they are joined by musicologist Walter Everett (The Beatles As Musicians: The Quarry Men to Rubber Soul and The Beatles As Musicians: Revolver to Anthology). RPM School is presenting a holistic approach to getting inside Beatles music, combining lecture and discussion, music instruction and recording and performance sessions, geared to your individual level. Their approach is unique and individualized, as shown with the demonstration here on George's "Something." Learn the influences that informed its construction (and where else they were used), as well as the technique utilized to capture the song as we know it.  As this is an interactive presentation, you can see ALL of the conversation here.    Check out Walter's lecture here.  (password: SATB )   His slides here.   Sign up for The Beatles And You here.   RPM School site   Also discussed: their take on Peter Jackson's Get Back Learn more about your ad choices.
