It all began like a joke, talking with a friend here great Beatles fan and researcher, Marco Maurizi:
"Imagine if someone could write a new Beatles album". Mission impossible I tought (and sacred ground, furthermore), but on the other hand, why not?
I asked Tim and he said yes of course! And now we are here trying to sound like the beatles (just the idea makes me laugh lol).

Now I'd like you all to help us out: what triggers to you the Beatles-meter in a song? Is that the chords? A sound? A melody shape/structure? what does hit you about the fab 4?

I'll say a little thing first (I'm still studying lol): tambourine! I got to a musical instrument shop and bought me a real one and found out it adds an immediate 'early beatles' sound, so happy / fresh. (what the hell I forgot to add it in "someday" lol)

Let me know, thanks

One of the standouts for me with Beatles' songs is the lush backing vocals and good harmonies. Also the perfectly placed ooos, ahhs, and la,la,la's. Good luck with the project!

Some random thoughts of things I like about The Beatles: The sound of a Vox amp and Epiphone Casino guitar, physically double tracked guitar solos, the transitions from major to minor chords and the strong middle eight bridges.

One thing I noticed with many Beatles songs, is that they first hit you with the chorus.
Then, then verses, etc...
