The reason I said it was a sincere request is because I honestly wanted people to try to convey why they find the Beatles so compelling. It wasn't a commentary on the degree to which I enjoyed that post, however much I may have carelessly let it look like one. I hope that's clear. Just the idea that for over half a century a bunch of serious musicians have been trying to exactly duplicate this chord and have been unable to do so perfectly is interesting, yeah. If someone just laid out that premise I'd think it unlikely that it'd be so difficult to duplicate. I get that. Thanks for helping me see that aspect of it a bit more clearly. What I don't get is why people have been trying for over a half a century to duplicate a chord arrangement. If they said it was for the challenge of it, sort of THX-style, then I get that. But if it's largely because it was played by the Beatles, then that seems a bit strange to me. Again, thanks.
