George Martin has died.
Another 2016 black day.

Genius. RIP
Safe travels Sir.
Man this year sucks, goodbye George and thanks for so much !
The steady hand, now rests.
Very talented man who's work and achievements will be long remembered!
Sir Martin's influence on my music life is huge and probably greater than I realize. Tis a sad day indeed, but I celebrate all that he accomplished.
Elysium always ends up with the best band, now they can get busy laying down some tracks
Sad news. Will listen to some Beatles songs.
Hugely innovative and influential - he will be much missed.

R.i.P. George Martin
What a nice remembrance from Paul, eh?
Yes. On pretty much all of us no matter what sort of music you listen to. He either influenced it directly or influenced someone who did.
Indeed. Got a little choked up.
While his passing is indeed sad, the legacy that he invented, contributed to and oversaw will continue to amaze and be germane to all musicians, engineers and producers as we continue forward.
Rock on, Sir George!
Listen to In My Life. Sir George played the baroque piano part of the bridge at half speed, then they speeded it up.
In my life I loved the 5th Beatle.
Man what he did with just four tracks.
Sometimes even the Sherpas need a guide - thank heaven the five of you found each other.
R.I.P. Sir Martin
Definitely. It's very interesting to read the Abby Road logs. All of that track bouncing. R.I.P.
What a legacy, what achievements. Farewell, Sir Martin. That day you said, "Oh, well, why not let them both sing lead vocal," was truly a great day for music. I'd love to hear future sessions with Mr. Frey, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Kilmister.
I think that's probably how he demoed it to them but the actual solo on the recording is a harpsichord played in real time. So I guess he practiced it and then played it for real.
EDIT: Nope, that's right, sped up piano, not a harpsichord.
Are you sure? I've read from several different sources that it was a piano recorded with the tape running at half speed.
(edit) this is what Wikipidia thinks as well, with references at the bottom of the page:

RE: "In My Life" - Rolling Stone mentioned this solo here. Interesting how George Martin didn't think he had the fingers to play it live, that's why he did it at half speed:

Okay, I listened to it again and I stand corrected. It's true, it's not a harpsichord but a sped up piano. Don't know why I thought it was a harpsichord in the first place. It sounds quite different. But I think a harpsichord played in real time would have sounded really good... ;-)
Great Beatles documentary that has a lot of Martin explaining how and why they did certain things in the studio:
Nice interactive piece in the New York Times on George Martin's contribution to the entire Beatles canon, as producer and musician. (I knew that he played the piano/harpsichordy part in "In My Life" but I didn't know he played the tack piano in "Rocky Racoon.") nyti.ms/1U51w22
When it says "other musicians" you can click and see who they are, or at least find out how many were involved.
