One of the things that's kept
Beatles fans captivated was their refusal to stay still and how
each album felt like a progression into new territory. That said,
as you delve deeper into the structures and configurations of the
band's music across their discography, there are certain tools,
tricks, and ideas that they used and repurposed to great effect. In
today's episode, returning guests Jack Petruzzelli (Fab Faux) and
Cameron Greider (Sean Lennon) sit down to discuss some of the most
notable and how the band helped rock 'n roll to
expand, becoming richer in the process. (Rock, not The
Beatles, though there's that too...)
We discuss Paul's links to Bach, John's connection to the blues and
more static melodies, and how all the strands of musical history
came together to create the vocabulary that we can observe and
appreciate in their music.
Jack and Cameron operate the RPM School (Rock
Pop Music) and their next session is just days away: details can be
