What a great video! Thanks!

Sgt Pepper was influenced by Pet Sounds? The other way around makes more sense!!

That F#m6 certainly fits nicely, but if you listen closely to the recording the bass note flips up to an A and its played under a B major triad, making that a B/A chord. And that sets sets off a lovely ascending chord sequence of B/A. E/B, Cdim

What's your view on this song chief? ruclips.net/video/EXaMvTk4u-4/видео.html&ab_channel=KonstantinosPeramatiotiss

I'll be plenty without you, thanks anyway. That's why some Rock minded folk despise this insipid sickly crap. I appreciate the musicality, but the sentiment makes me want to vomit.

loved your god only knows guitar tutorial!!! continue making guitar lessons please🙏🙏🙏

The expression, "God only knows" is common and colloiquial and quite far removed from religion. It's like "the devil is in the details" which is no more a referece to Satan. The song is a beautiful expression of love and friendship, and so for religious conservatives to make a stink about it means those people have too much time and too few things to complain about. The chords and melody are so excellent and Brian uses them to craft one of the best pop tunes of the 60s.

That was pretty fascinating, Aaron. Having grown up as a kid in the early sixties, I'm struck by how sophisticated the music had become. Changing all the time. We were damn lucky.

Great breakdown and explanation of the song structure and background. Also, thank you so much for not plugging some guitar or music course in the middle of the video!

OMG Please don't continue 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Can you get by with a lesser guitar skill level if you are willing to turn the lights down and screw a skank?

Looking at those fingering contortions, I have to wonder if this song was written on a guitar. Would be so much easier to play those chords on a keyboard.

Not true ! Rubber Soul ( 1965 ) inspired Brian to do Pet Sounds in 1966..& if you listen to 'Michelle' on Rubber Soul uses diminished chords..& many other tunes in jazz etc.

This needs some comment on McCartney's laudable method in "Yesterday", which naturally precedes his encounter with Donovan.

I LOVE that you state that L/M (and others) play the guitar in a different manner, and overlap is not complete. I also play the acoustic "well", but I am challenged by the patterns that L/M *started with*, and wonder if they'd have found my own songs natural.

What about the instremental fugue bit ? Great video cheers

Actually the band HANSON can write these beautiful adult chords themselves ..

thankyou i have wanted to know that exact chord structure for a long time , thank you

Brilliant song by a brilliant brian Willson, superbly sung by Carl, great cover and breakdown

Re: God only Knows- Love doesn't necessarily live in symmetry. 🙂

Good to see a fellow lefty! I’m gonna look at this and practice up. I’m a strummer not a finger picker but this looks doable with some practice. Bought a left handed GS mini Taylor with pic up this year and am enjoying it. Thanks for this!

*promo sm* 👏

Are you left handed? Or are you using selfie/ mirror camera?

Nice voice Aaron, it’s a tough song to sing well. I was never Beach Boys fan but can surely appreciate their great harmonies and the work it took to get it down on vinyl back in their heyday.

Beautiful.

I think Sergeant Pepper was influenced by the Frank Zappa Freak out album.

You have inherited Carl's haunting voice. I can't believe it ! Thank you so much.

I would have liked to hear one go played thru and without vocals.

You are really a good musician but - sorry - your singing is just creepy.

Good job buddy!

Brian and Carl Wilson and the wrecking crew amazing

I hardly understand why you, and some other great songwriters find God only knows the greatest song of all time. Yes it’s a good song but, imho, there are plenty of songs by far more beautiful in all vocal and technical aspects you mentionned. You have quoted Maca, the Beatles have many stratospheric songs (Because, Here there and everywhere, Something, ….), the Eagles are not bad too (Hotel California, Lying eyes, New kid in town, …) and in the Beach Boys repertory (Don’t worry baby) are top and better songs. Actually what is specific to God only knows is that, unlike the songs already mentionned, this song didn’t receive immediately a worldwide respect. It took a long time to be recognized, and with the help of famous stars.

I just got into learning this amazing song, and yours is the first video I clicked on. So glad I did! Thank you! Great explanation, and while your playing is damn good, your voice really surprised me! Usually people teaching guitar kinda mumble to get the gist of the song across, but while the lesson is all good, your voice really was the star of the show here!

the thing is A beautiful song is a beautiful song. No matter what chords are used. If its beautiful it is beautiful. Both HTAE and GOK are fantastic songs. GOK with its traditional jazzy chords and HTAE's brilliantly constructed melody over two different key signatures which is G on the verses and Bb on the chorus.

Excelent analysis! Do more of these, please 🙂

That guitar is like one my sister had that I was going to learn to play on. I had a guitarist at a music store in St. Louis Park fix it for me and when I went back to get it, I was in tears because my mother had told me she didn’t want me taking guitar lessons. I was devastated by how mean she had been about it, it had been unexpected. She overheard me talking about it to my sister and just went on the attack. She didn’t think I could handle guitar and college at the same time and she didn’t want to listen to me learning in the house. I was very vulnerable at the time, I had been experience crying spells due to depression , so I believed her that I might not be able to handle learning guitar and devastated that she didn’t want me to do something so beautiful as learn an instrument. It so would have helped me with my depression I didn’t know how to escape my ruminating mind and it would have been so good for that, I am so absorbed in learning how to play now finally and it is definitely an escape I always needed. That guitar really looks like the one I left behind at the music store. I think I was supposed to go back and get it, but I was too embarrassed to do so and afraid of my Mom getting mad again. My sister tried to pick it up, but he would not let her because I think he wanted me to comeback. I felt to much shame to go back and some other confusing stuff happened between me and my sister over the guitar which made me feel even more reluctant to go back, so I am pretty sure he ended up with the guitar. I am sure he just wanted to talk me back into lessons when I went to pick it up, but I don’t think I understood that from what my sister said. I just couldn’t face him because it was going to be so obvious I was giving up a dream. I had been very excited about starting guitar lessons, I had actually dared to dream. The guitar teacher knew that and I could not face that he knew it and how sad my Mom had made me feel and I would have had to still say I can’t take guitar lessons right now because she had freaked me out so bad. This guitar looks exactly like that guitar and God does know where I have been without it, through hell. This was one of the pivotal points in my life that could have saved me in ways I will never know now. If a guitar has it own face this is definitely that guitars twin at the very least. Good thing is I picked up a guitar last year and I am taking lessons finally. It is rough going but I have stuck with it while grieving the lost of the solace I could have experienced so much sooner and the directions it would have given me the confidence to go in when they appeared represented by at least three people that would be in my life right now. Oh well, I am learning to play now and I am glad to see such a beautiful song being played on this sweet guitar, so like the one that once was going to be mine. It’s the perfect guitar for this song right now. God Bless! I have tears in my eyes but at least my new guitar is waiting for me to continue learning and life goes on. I hope it is not to late to let it take me places, at the very least God let it sooth my soul. Amen. My name then was Susann McElderry, now it is Susann Dye.

Imagine the love BRIAN HAD for his little brother, Carl, to give him this song?

Wow, this is what's commonly referred to as tone deaf. Should've kept it an instrumental lesson.

Don’t say “in the root.” It’s “in the bass.”

Beautiful ❤

Excellent..

Loved it thank you

that was beautiful!!

Was anyone able to find a chord sheet on this great song?

Thank You ...well done..👏..Saw the Beach Boys recording through the studio Glass in the ajoining studio Capital Records Hollywood 1966...was a "Big Deal"😁

Thanks for this video. Know that even years later it is appreciated. It's an amazing song.

There's is a very advanced Classical Guitar Solo arrangement of this BEAUTIFUL song posted / played by Douglas Kniedt here on RUclips. I am learning the piece.

Honestly pet sounds for me is why sgt. peppers is overrated tbh. Love that album alot too but it doesn’t touch pet sounds and even abbey road or revolver for me

They are both good styles, I do prefer Paul’s style but I have written a song with John’s style.
