Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on the Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article as a FULL, in-depth, exciting forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS β no less than ONE full paragraph, no more than THREE.
- A paragraph is 4-8 sentences that form a complete thought. Never write less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story β include EVERY detail from the source article.
- Be EXCITING and passionate β like you just discovered this and can't wait to share.
- Add your own commentary, opinions, and reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs to organize β make it easy and fun to read.
- If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If there are additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make this the DEFINITIVE version of this post.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. A single sentence is NOT acceptable.
- **Input Data:**
- Old post content provided (I should NOT repeat it verbatim, but I can build on the ideas while making it fresh and more detailed).
- Source URL: https://www.musicradar.com/artists/beginners-start-with-in-my-life-while-advanced-players-choose-hey-jude-new-data-reveals-which-beatles-songs-musicians-want-to-learn-the-most
- Source article text: The provided text is almost entirely CSS/HTML from the Rock Paper Shotgun page (wait, it says Rock Paper Shotgun CSS but the source is MusicRadar? The prompt says "Full source article:" and pastes a massive block of CSS. The actual article text is missing from the content, but the old post content contains the actual article details. I need to extract the details from the old post content and the title to reconstruct the story, while adding Frank's enthusiastic commentary. I must include EVERY detail from the source article as presented in the old post, since the actual article text wasn't provided in the prompt's "Full source article" section. I'll work with the details from the old post + title.)
- Key details from old post:
- MusicRadar published a deep dive/data analysis on Beatles songs musicians want to learn.
- Beginners gravitate toward "In My Life" and "Let It Be".
- "In My Life" uses an accessible minor IV chord progression (emotionally resonant but technically straightforward on acoustic guitar).
- "Let It Be" has a piano line with a steady 4/4 pulse that's easy to follow.
- These songs let beginners feel they played something beautiful early without hitting harmonic walls.
- Advanced players/ theory geeks gravitate toward "Hey Jude" and "A Day in the Life".
- Both produced by George Martin during Abbey Road's most creative period.
- "Hey Jude" famous for massive build-up and key change at the end (sophisticated harmonic move beginners can't replicate without planning knowledge).
- "A Day in the Life" has two distinct movements and an orchestral climax written specifically for Martin's ear.
- The real story: why these songs became timeless due to deliberate compositional choices that reward players at every skill level.
- It's a lesson in craft more than popularity, changes how you look at your favorite album.
2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs? Yes.
- Each paragraph 4-8 sentences? Yes.
- Include EVERY detail? Yes, I'll weave them all in.
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes, Frank's voice.
- Add commentary/opinions? Yes.
- Include key info (who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates)? The source doesn't have dates/prices/specs beyond song names and chord progressions, but I'll include all the musical details provided.
- Line breaks between paragraphs? Yes.
- End with Source: <url>? Yes.
- Also see if additional sources? Not provided, so skip.
- Never repeat old post verbatim? I'll rewrite it completely in Frank's voice while keeping all facts.
3. **Draft Construction (Mental Refinement):**
*Paragraph 1:* Focus on the discovery,
