In October 1965, The Beatles walked into Abbey Road to begin recording Rubber Soul. Just over seven weeks later, the album was finished, mastered and in the shops.
The more I looked into how they pulled that off, the more unbelievable it became. They'd spent much of the year touring the world, were working to a brutal deadline, and somehow still managed to make one of the most influential albums ever recorded.
In this video I go through the Rubber Soul sessions day by day, looking at how the songs came together, what happened in the studio, the events outside Abbey Road that shaped the record and just how much they achieved in such a short space of time.
Whether you're a Beatles fan, a guitarist, or simply fascinated by the making of great records, I think you'll find this story every bit as remarkable as I did.

I'm not saying any of this to diminish their accomplishment. But I think it's a testament to what the human mind can accomplish when talent meets youthful energy meets strong work ethic meets collaborative trust meets external pressure. And I think a lot of people don't recognize how important that last component is.

Sadly you will never get to hear me demonstrate the riff to Day Tripper as I intended. That's just the way the world is these days, you gotta like it or lump it and that's that. You play your favourite riff through on camera and you get shaken down. And people say there's no money in music anymore! Feel free to drop your harshest anti Kobalt Music rhetoric below this comment. Screw the man! As ever folks, best wishes to you and apologies again for the short silence mid way through the video. The lip readers among you can continue to enjoy the video as you did previously.
Cheers one and all,
Matt
