Beatles, The/Expert Profile
Expertise
I`m an italian Beatle fan who`s been studying, playing, reading The Beatles for more than twentyfive years. I can answer about recording sessions, lyrics, biography, instruments and more. I`ve been playng bass guitar and their music for years and know pretty much about their music and composition. I own a double complete discography (on vinil and on cd) and lots of books about them. I regret not to be so expert about their films and personal careers, but I think I can answer nearly any question about their life and music in the period 1940 - 1970.
Experience in the area
Usually, no Trivia on The Beatles leaves me without words. Moreover I've been playing bass guitar and their music for nearly twenty years and I can discuss on this matter quite deeply. Please no questions about vintage Lps', collectors items' or memorabilia value.
What do you like about this subject?
The Beatles changed the course of music and, I know it for sure, the course of millions of lives (included mine)
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
The topic "Beatles" is so wide that one can never say to know everything about it. Still now every new listening to their songs makes you discover new incredible things.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
I'm doing a research on their instruments (specially guitars and basses) and beginning to write something on Paul's evolution as a "bassman"
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Which guitars did The Beatles use in their recordings and live tours? Which effects on their records? Which "secret" sound and difference between recordings and version of each song?
