171: The Simplicity and Sophistication of the Beatles, with Aaron Krerowicz

Welcome back to Beatles Month!

Today we're talking with Aaron Krerowicz, the one and only full-time Beatles scholar who focuses specifically on the music of The Beatles. Meaning he dives deep into the lyrics, the chords, the notes used in melodies - all the stuff that musicians are perhaps most hungry to hear about but is quite rarely discussed in such a dedicated way. This was a super cool conversation.

We know you're going to be itching for more from Aaron so you'll be pleased to hear he's written several short, easy-to-read books, and published a ton of bite-sized videos on the topic too which you can find at Flipside Beatles.

In this conversation we talk about:

•The special way in which the music of the Beatles is "sophisticated" - and when that all began

•How the Beatles learned from and re-imagined the music of the time to create their most remarkable songs

•And what we can learn from looking at which of the group wrote each song, and the way the music and lyrics relate.

Plus: Aaron shares a quite shocking statistic about the apparent overnight success of the Fab Four.

Aaron brings a unique perspective to analysing The Beatles and I know you're going to enjoy this conversation just as much as we did.
