For those that have access to PBS in the States, last night we caught an excellent new music documentary; Deconstructing the Beatles. Especially if you’re a Beatles fan you should try to catch this. Scott Frieman hosts this and from what I understand he spent 10 years of his life researching a deep-dive into the how and what behind many of their songs. And he’s produced an 11 DVD set that’s for sale. The approx. 1-hour summary that is now being broadcast gets into chord progressions, and major, minor and diminished chords as he demonstrates concepts on his keyboard while showing the sheet music. He also drills into the lyrics. I have yet to see a deeper dive into music theory or The Beatles on broadcast TV. He also gets into the Studer J37 4-track recorder and even breaks down which elements (drums, bass, vocals, guitar, etc.) ended up on which tracks for particular songs. Along the way he shares stories such as George getting a bad case of the flu just prior to going on Ed Sullivan for the first time and how they needed to use a stand-in so the cameraman could do his framing. I also came away with just how pivotal and musically talented George Martin was; the 5th Beatle as they say. Guaranteed to learn something from this documentary . . . good stuff indeed. Deconstructing The Beatles

Looks like it might be rebroadcast at times on your local PBS station. Check your local guide. https://www.deconstructingthemusic.com/schedule-tv

Nicely done Joseph, I don't believe I've ever seen such a national PBS schedule. If I didn't have my 100/100 Project in full swing, I'd probably buy the 11 DVD set. But right now it would be too much of a distraction. One story that Scott gives is that during the development of Strawberry Fields Forever John liked one recording (I think in A) and another recording (I think in C at a different tempo) and challenged George Martin and the tape operator to somehow blend them together and make it work. After several days of speeding up sections, slowing sections, cutting, splicing and other magic, they got it to work. I'm not sure I could accomplish that today with my modern DAW!

Interestingly it is listed on the main PBS.org site but the streaming link will not click through. Perhaps only available on some local stations. Doesn't appear to be stream-able on PBS passport.

We don't have Passport but watch many concerts and documentaries on over the air broadcast TV. The other night we caught the Concert for George with Clapton, Preston, Ringo, Paul and others (for the 6th or 7th time over the years); good music never gets old.
I'd call customer support, my understanding is you should be able stream any PBS content on demand with Passport.
