'If I Fell', it's a perfect example to show how progressive elaboration works, a concept in project management, layer by layer, so to speak. Any idea we have, just TA (take action), and as there's a time for everything, time will bring new ideas to turn whatever it is into a/'our' masterpiece, if it's meant to be.

Yes, I hear it.. Good ear! It must have been something he picked up from another vocalist consciously or not. It happens a lot with vocal 'fills'.. especially in soul music I've noticed. They're more regular in soul I guess which is probably why? With Michael Jackson you can hear Stevie Wonder's fills. I've heard others repeat Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Aretha etc.. can't think who off the top of my head though. If you go back through John's influences I bet that little riff is in there somewhere at the end of a phrase in a song he liked.

The instrumental guitar noodling is a revelation. There early records on electric guitars had more simple phrasings. But they were capable of much more which showed up in their later albums. The phrasings from Rubber Soul to Get Back and Abbey Road had their origins in this jamming and noodling. Just great. Deepens the understanding of their instrument skills as well as their songwriting processes.

What a lot of you dont comprehend is that these were mostly done on their own reel to reel tape machines or cassette recorders in their own homes...hence the demo titles...most were not done in the studio like other rarity tapes.

He's singing about a hypothetical situation in which he would feel pain and he "would be sad if our new love, was in vain." He's NOT singing about pain or sadness he feels. He mentions pain and sadness he would feel if the situation were different than what he's hoping for. The whole song is about someone asking another person if they would hurt him if he fell in love with them. It is NOT about being hurt.

Good spot. It's kind of a half strumming with some fingerpicking thrown in but not done very well. Sounds like a beginner. This demo would be 1966 in California after the tripping episode with Peter Fonda. It does sound a bit Byrds-ish and mid 60's West Coast influenced. Even on 'Julia' from late 67 (recorded 68) he still sounds like he's getting to grips with it. Not a great technician obviously but I really like him as a guitarist. His rhythm stuff from the touring years goes under the radar but is very solid and more interesting than people give it credit for.

Georges recording of Don't bother me right about brought me to smash my laptop out ngl. As his whistling reminds me of his video of him way older playing the ukulele and him saying "oh- I can whistle!"- He sounded so happy bro no. It makes me sad rlly. But he improved so much and to see he's glad about that was precious. It is nice to have an insight on something that happened so damn long ago- Like 1963- that was when my grandpa was living his childhood- and I am listening to something that was recorded then. The magic of older music I swear, it gives me nostalgia of when I was not even born then.
