You mean when he was allowed to write songs for albums and therefore his playing style - one that best suited his songs - was allowed to develop?
He played standard licks on the 1st few LPs - it was what was asked of him and what he knew. They were gigging & recording so often getting new ideas would've been quite difficult.
When you write "I feel" is it becasue that's what you feel or what you think based on listening? I can't seem to nail people down on the use of the "I feel" thing...rather like the impermanence of "I'm loving".
It never occurred. You can’t take a scenario and say it doesn’t apply simply because there’s another plausible scenario out there that could have happened.
Honestly Ray, you’re such a contrarian. It’s frustrating.
Having a different opinion isn't contrarian. It's a different opinion based on a different perspective. That is how I see it. I'm no Beatles fan but I do prefer George's post B songwriting to Paul's partly because of his signature sound.
The world of commentary & journalism seems to be light up by McCartney's coming tour and giving his revisionist statements credit. Perhaps that's why Rolling Stone's respondents rated him so highly.
I am, genuinely interested in the "I feel" thing. Seriously. It has replaced I believe, I think & I reckon in at least 50% of the world's English speaking social media writers & folk who speak on TV etc. I don't understand it because the education system, at least in NSW taught kids, very carefully, to preface opinion in persuasive writing with a squillion alternatives that make sense, while I feel doesn't. it's an open question for anyone to answer. Most folk use the phrase these days.
