Paul McCartney

We made it up.

But there's a great strength in me showing you a chord or a riff or something.

And it's just going from mind to mind.

There's no paper involved.

All of what we did, I mean, you know, in this very studio would be that.

It was really immediate transference of ideas.

And, you know, I say, if you look back,

on all our histories and our legacy, it was kind of bardic.

A lot of them didn't write it down.

Irish music was not really, I don't think, written down.

It was just played, and you learned it, and then you played it your way.

So we had a lot of that, and that was really nice music.

for transference of ideas.

We would come in here on a Monday morning, let's say, if we were going to record during the week, and it would mainly, in the beginning, be John and I, and we would have just written something the week before.

written some songs, and we'd come in and everyone would just gather 10 o'clock, 10.30 in the morning.

And George Martin would say, okay, what is it?

What are you going to do?

And we'd say, oh, well, there's this one.

And we'd play it, me and John, on two acoustics.

We'd play it.
