Ably House are way more dedicated with trying to get the perfect sound and that with incredible accuracy in my opinion everybody has an opinion, and this is mine^
But mattiboo shows it right up and close and tells you what chords he is playing ably house you have to support their Pateron they have started to show to play songs recently
@@johnlennonade5869 yes, they have started to show it recently and you can always just watch the video i learned blackbird of the video because the tabs/notes are way more complicated
Axel Axelsson still take immense talent and dedication to learn the specific ways the Beatles and Eric Clapton played this song. Its insane how he recreates what they did here and definitely takes talent.
The ADT flanging on Clapton's guitar really goes well with the Ric 12! It's a shame that Clapton's rhythm guitar is mixed down on the original mix of this song.
Support the channel on Patreon: www.patreon.com/mattiboo Feel free to tip if you enjoyed the video: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9HEE4B4FXKXDA Description continued from above! Clapton hammers on the entire C#m chord at (0:57) and continues with more individual string picking. The 12 string’s walk up to an E note is done in a swung style at (1:01). The other 3 times this is played later in the song are done in a straight approach. Clapton plays a country style riff at (1:04) as a turnaround from the first part of the bridge to the second. Notice the slide on the 12 string at (1:11) onto the B note. Clapton’s transitory lick at (1:21) is treated with extra ADT “wobbling”, a technology that will be described further later on. The third verse begins with Clapton smacking an Am chord at the 5th fret (1:24). He also adds a passing open E note before the F# at (1:28). Clapton lays down one of his most inspired solos in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, featuring melodic bends and vibrato all made more aggressive by extreme flanging. He lays off for a second and taps the strings on the guitar twice (1:54) before launching into a descending bend on the 14th fret G string (1:55). The three following notes also have some slight microtonal bends (1:56). Returning to the A note, Clapton unleashes his famous vibrato (1:58), a technique that involves releasing your thumb from behind the fretboard so the only contact with the neck is on the note being played. The forearm then shakes to create a wide, sweeping vibrato. He then bends up a full 3 semitones from an A to a C and adds vibrato as he brings the note back down (2:00). The bend at (2:09) also utilizes vibrato. At (2:12), a bend from G to the root note A adds drama. Clapton then brings things back down as he descends back down the minor pentatonic scale. The common bends from an A note to a B give the solo a slight Dorian sound as well. The solo reaches its climax as Clapton builds up from a D (2:26) all the way to a screaming high A bend at (2:30). His vibrato serves as an excellent conclusion to the solo and a perfect transition to the second bridge. Notice which notes are picked, hammered on, or sustained as I played to precisely match Clapton’s expert phrasing. The second bridge follows the same pattern as the verse with vocals, a guitar riff, more vocals, and another riff. See that the 12 string plays unique slides at (2:34) and (2:54). George lightens up on his acoustic strumming during the A and C#m chords during both bridges by playing much softer. The lick at (2:43) utilizes open strings to create a ringing sound as Clapton plays more country style harmonies. Some offbeat strumming is added by George at (2:49) during the C#m chord. Clapton’s lead at (3:00) is treated with so much ADT that it almost sounds like a speeding up Leslie speaker! Since the ADT changes the pitch and volume in a similar way as a Leslie, it is easy for one to mistake this sound for a Leslie speaker. However, I do not believe Clapton played through a Leslie for this song as the electric guitar bleed onto the isolated drum track is totally undisturbed guitar amplifier. Likewise, the guitar “warbles” more in some parts of the song than others, something that cannot have been done had the guitar been reamped through a Leslie. In the final verse, notice how George changes from the D to E chord on the “and” of 4 instead of on the first beat like usual (3:16). He continues this syncopated pattern with offbeat strumming on the E chord (3:18). Tambourine and a Hammond organ “whine” is introduced as the suspense builds for Clapton’s final solo. The first two bends of Clapton’s ending solo do not feature any vibrato (3:33), the vibrato being introduced on the third bend (3:35). A slight pause is taken before the bends resume, this time with uninterrupted vibrato weeping. Abbey Road producer Chris Thomas was really waggling the ADT oscillator to amplify Clapton’s finger vibrato! The ADT slows down at (3:49) before and is reintroduced even more for the bend at (3:51). Clapton slides his finger up the neck from the C note at (3:58) to create a cool “woop” effect. His bend at (3:59) feature truly weeping vibrato and the follow up bends (4:01) start in the bent position. The last bend of this section (4:02) starts in the unbent position. More “hand released” vibrato is used at (4:03). He plays a short open A string note at (4:11) to double the A he is playing two octaves up. A series of G to A bends are then done. Notice the microtonal bend at (4:19). He then intentionally or unintentionally plays a couple of muted notes at (4:22) before concluding the high part of his solo with additional flanging. Returning to the lower portion of the neck, Clapton slides up the pentatonic scale. The fade out of the released version of the song features 2 seconds of different guitar work than the Rockband version of the song, which adds more finality. Not shown, hear how George strums through the chords quickly at (4:35), playing a measure of Am in 3/4, and measures of G, D, and E in 2/4.
Further continuation! Clapton played his cherry red 1957 Gibson Les Paul on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. He later gifted this guitar to George Harrison. Upon Eric’s request, his guitar was treated with Abbey Road’s “Artificial Double Tracking” (AKA ADT or flanging when the delay is within 5 ms of the signal source) to make it sound more “Beatley”. The tape speed oscillator was altered more in some spots of the song than in others. This effect was a perfect compliment to Eric’s fantastic vibrato and give the guitar track a 3D sound. I recreated this famous sound with the Waves Reel ADT plugin with the delay set 1.81 ms before the signal source. I manually controlled the varispeed in the appropriate spots to sound like the recording. Clapton's ADT guitar was originally panned left in the stereo field, with additional room bleed of the amplifier sound onto the drum and piano microphones (panned right and left respectively). I recreated this by directly mic’ing the amplifier with an AT2035 for the main ADT sound and using an SM57 to capture the room sound for the correct sound. The 12 string guitar is panned left in the original but for my cover I panned it right for listeners to distinguish it from Clapton’s 6 string. George’s acoustic guitar is panned about center. As always, I did not 100% pan right and left like the original recording in order for listeners to hear the parts out of two speakers instead of one when listening in stereo. Thanks for watching!
Fearful Pineapple John Lennon did not play on Here Comes The Sun on While My Guitar Gently Weeps John Lennon did electric guitar George Harrison was gonna do electric guitar but he couldn’t record a backwards guitar solo so he brought Eric Clapton to do it
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps. I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you. I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps. I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you. I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps.
I never realised there was the Rickenbacker being played. Huge more respect to George Harrison for the guitar arrangements - and you have another subscriber
I think that may be the reason why John Lennon is credited for the electric guitar part if he had played the rickenbacker it would have sounded different
This cover is up there as one of your finest! (Your full band cover of "Day In The Life" remains king) Seeing as you nailed Clapton so beautifully here, have you thought about doing any Cream covers?
Great job! You really nailed it! "Clapton lays down one of his most inspired solos". I agree. He's never been close to this kind of emotional expression. Sooner or later!
Another amazing achievement! Your bends and vibrato during the Clapton parts were spot on. And the inclusion of the 12-string, while initially disconcerting, made a lot of sense after reading your description. It's hard to imagine how they could have achieved this sound without it. Just phenomenal attention to detail!
The 12 string is so buried in the final mix that it is difficult to hear! The first time I listened to the isolated bass track I was shocked to hear the 12 string in there as well, but it sounds so much like a Rickenbacker 12 string specifically that there really is no other way it could have been done. Wish there were photos of George playing his 12 string from 1968!
Haven't seen Clapton's guitar part demonstrated so clearly and so completely anywhere else. Congrats on the playing and the painstaking research Mattiboo!
A marvelous look at how the song was actually played and a tremendously detailed and interesting read to truly bring you to the studio and see what was going on 50 or so years ago. Wonderfully done Mattiboo. Thanks for taking the time it takes to put together such an amazing channel. I thought you couldn't top "A Day in the Life". Well, let's just say that you never cease to amaze!!! This is super sweet, Mattiboo.
I've been playing a long time and can fool the casual listener on this but --man -- this is perfect. Quite the tribute to Clapton and Harrison. Brilliant cover.
4 года назад+1
Nice version of this beautiful song ... Bravo! Good week. Danielle
Man, you're simply amazing. I've never seen a cover with this level of fidelity and detailment of information on RUclips. Congrats! And thank you so much, you immensely helped me getting this song right. You got a new subscriber. Cheers from Brazil!
An excellent breakdown and equally excellent playing make this labour of love a gem for guitarists trying to expand their range and improve and add to their technique. Great stuff!
My uncle and I both loved the Beatles, and now that I am picking up the guitar this makes me want to play some Beatles with him. Unfortunaty he died so that wont be happening, this makes me think of all of the good times we missed out on.
Wow. Wow. Wow....close to flawless. Most get it wrong. You are detail oriented and must truly love what you are doing. The bends, the vibrato, the neck positions, just beautiful.
Mattiboo, you've done it again! The tone is spot on with Clapton's lead guitar and you truly do this Harrison masterpiece justice! Excellent job and continue to make epic covers! You have a loyal subscriber here!
Awesome!!! Love your Les Paul!! It's beautiful. Ever considered doing any Allman Brothers/ Derek and the Dominoes stuff??? The Lester really screams Duane..
Thank you! I love that music as well and I play Duane songs on the Les Paul for my own enjoyment. When I visited Paul Allen's Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle this summer I got a chance to see Clapton's Brownie Strat right next to Duane's '59 Burst. Knowing those two guitars were played by such guitar legends blew my mind!
Love it, Mattiboo. I've looked back on some of the older stuff you did, and your playing has improved dramatically. And you did a great recreation of the "Beatle wobble" that Clapton did on his soloing. BTW your other videos inspired me to buy an Epi Casino. - thank you for that! Looking forward to what you do next...
Although i enjoyed the many many hours as a youth (Fell hard for the lads in 2000 at 13) learning all this, many a night this channel would have been a holy grail for me! To anyone who says the Boys cannot play proper or that they are just "Ok", needs to spend the time learning the instruments and songs.
Congrats on 11 thousand subscribers! Your channel is awesome and I'm glad so many people see it! By the way, that Les Paul is a very beautiful guitar. I have a Les Paul Standard Pro (Epiphone) sunburst, and one day I want to own your exact guitar!!
@mattiboo Hi Matt I think this is the line up While My Guitar Gently Weeps George Harrison: Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Hammond Organ (Overdub) Paul McCartney: Harmony Vocals, Bass, Piano John Lennon: Backing Vocal (outro), Six String Bass, Hammond Organ (basic track) Ringo Starr: Drums, Percussion Eric Clapton: Lead Guitar Idk whose playing that guitar overdub in the bridge though
Another beautiful video. And wearing George's outfit from the mad day out photoshoot😉 George and Eric played this live later and changed it a bit. George duelled with him on solo too. That would be wonderful to see here. But thanks and keep up the good work.
My God, this is amazing. I just can't understand why you are so underated!! Btw i know this isn't intentional, but this is my the best birthday gift yet! I hope your chabbel keeps growing, cause you deserve more attention! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
Watched this many times, especially trying to follow the 12 string - maybe you've already been asked, but could you break any of this down into a tutorial?
What's better for a George Harrison guitar The Les Paul or the gibson sg just wondering because im 14 and fro Christmas wondering whats better for playing George the sg or Les Paul
Oh my god, I'm seeing strange colors.... can't believe how good these videos are!!! i'll read the descriptions later - going to keep listening/watching :-) :-) :-)
Great video and analysis.. one minor point, not sure if this came up before. George's '65 Rickenbacker is believed to be stolen shortly after Candlestick Park. Therefore I think he would have used the his original '63 12 string, identical to the one you have here.
Beautiful cover man, this is my go to channel for anything Beatles! I'm not sure what your plans are for future videos or if you take requests but could you do some more white album songs? I'd love to see something like a full band cover of yer blues!
This sounded so close to the original that I questioned my guitar tone skills (honestly I play it more based off of synesthesia than actually nailing the tone, and then I love the sound before realizing that it's nothing alike, but still good). But there were parts like the Rickenbacker 12 that were mixed better, improving the tone. Here, have some RUclips Red money (hopefully it sends some).
Thanks for the vid and also the detail provided as to the background. Seems strange given the much reported 'difficulties' that George and Paul had in later years, but PMC always seemed to give his best on George's songs.
Actually, the group tried to record this song in two sessions prior to inviting Clapton in for the final run through. Throughout, George says that Paul and John were not really into recording his song and that it was quite difficult. However, once Clapton was brought in, George says that Paul was on his best behavior and began contributing more (such as the piano intro and bassline). A quote from George on this: "It's interesting to see how nicely people behave when you bring a guest in, because they don't really want everybody to know that they're so bitchy" - www.beatlesebooks.com/gently-weeps
Yes! The rest of the quote actually goes on to mention him: "It was a similar situation when Billy Preston came later to play on 'Let It Be' and everybody was arguing. Just bringing a stranger in amongst us made everybody cool out." - www.beatlesebooks.com/gently-weeps
Damn, and I thought Alan Pollack's breakdowns and deconstructions of Beatles songs were thorough! Was I ever wrong. All hail Matty! Dude, you could teach a college course in this...and maybe you should. The work (labour of love?) you put into these videos is astonishing. Believe me, many of us out here appreciate it, whether we hit the comment button or not. Have you seen the South American band, Black Bird's rendition of this song? They start out sort of note-for-note (and it's great!). Lead guitarist Aisse Gaertner faithfully replicates EC's solos...until...toward the end he goes off the rails, improvising a wailing, screeching, riffing solo that has purists clutching their hearts in anguish. But strangely, it works! It gives the old song a fresh, modern feel. And all the while during Aisse's amazing solo, the other Black Bird musicians continue to belt out that great chugging rhythm line. At the end of the song, the camera pans around. The older folk in the audience are going, "WTF??" while the younger people are on their feet, clapping and cheering. I think GH would be happy and proud that his song has such longevity. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy (too late!), how can I end this comment without complimenting your clothes? Matty, you're awesome. Why do you do this? Why do you put so much effort into the study of fifty year-old music? Do you get any compensation at all from these videos? You should. They are as professional a breakdown and analysis of Beatles music as you'll find *anywhere*. And unlike Pollack's dry written dissertations, yours are fun to listen to! Keep up the good...no, keep up the *great* work!
I checked out the cover you mentioned and it was interesting; shred meets The Beatles! It is amazing that George, a guitarist not known for extended solos, wrote on of the best progressions to jam over. I hope that it is interesting for viewers to read my descriptions and then see how it was played in the video versus simply reading it!
The most dedicated beatle fan out there man.

Congratulations bro!
mattiboo
hope you can upload another and swap out the Clapton solo for the Gary Moore solo ... it shits on Clapton's
I had no idea a 12 string was involved
Austin Smith John Lennon’s guitar part is audible at that part
Andrew Ribaudo John Lennon played a 12 string guitar on this track?
KlassicKrusty no I think he played the epiphone casino
Fearful Pineapple John Lennon did not play on Here Comes The Sun on While My Guitar Gently Weeps John Lennon did electric guitar George Harrison was gonna do electric guitar but he couldn’t record a backwards guitar solo so he brought Eric Clapton to do it
Andrew Ribaudo there’s no epiphone casino on here
The shirt, the pants the guitars, the playing. Now kids, that is dedication.
This is so perfect!
Finally I see someone playing the 12 string guitar part.
Awesome
Nice Easter egg of George's outfit
One of the best guitar solo EVER!
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I think you should start doing lessons of the songs you're playing. That would be great!
Honestly
If you just watch closely, this video really IS a lesson.
I never realised there was the Rickenbacker being played. Huge more respect to George Harrison for the guitar arrangements - and you have another subscriber
I think that may be the reason why John Lennon is credited for the electric guitar part if he had played the rickenbacker it would have sounded different
This cover is up there as one of your finest! (Your full band cover of "Day In The Life" remains king) Seeing as you nailed Clapton so beautifully here, have you thought about doing any Cream covers?
I love playing Cream music, but my channel is dedicated to The Beatles right now!
@@mattiboo Maybe you should keep it that way but also make a second channel for some other stuff
Great job! You really nailed it! "Clapton lays down one of his most inspired solos". I agree. He's never been close to this kind of emotional expression. Sooner or later!

I’m a 14 year old Beatles fan. Started playing last year, I watch this video about every day. So satisfying. Great work❤️
I'd think It’d be pretty cool if you covered The Dirty Mac version of Yer Blues
I love that version! It is too bad The Dirty Mac didn't do more together, they were a phenomenal group!
Except for Yoko.

Awesome!!! Love your Les Paul!! It's beautiful. Ever considered doing any Allman Brothers/ Derek and the Dominoes stuff??? The Lester really screams Duane..
Thank you! I love that music as well and I play Duane songs on the Les Paul for my own enjoyment. When I visited Paul Allen's Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle this summer I got a chance to see Clapton's Brownie Strat right next to Duane's '59 Burst. Knowing those two guitars were played by such guitar legends blew my mind!
Maybe the most entertaining post on RUclips ever. So delightful.
Love it, Mattiboo. I've looked back on some of the older stuff you did, and your playing has improved dramatically. And you did a great recreation of the "Beatle wobble" that Clapton did on his soloing.
BTW your other videos inspired me to buy an Epi Casino. - thank you for that! Looking forward to what you do next...
Fantastic! I am glad that you are getting a Casino and I hope that you enjoy it!
The sound of Les Paul resembles Clapton
Eric clapton contributed to this song heavily but was never credited on the white album, but this is definitely georges song, if im not mistaken
@@thomasthelich9953 but he did play lead on this song so yes he definitely contributed heavily
Phenomenal! You are out of this world with your skills! Keep it up!
I was born in 2005 and I love the Beatles more than I love any modern artist
The best guitar cover of all time
where did you get that shirt? is the shirt that George uses in some Beatles promo photos!
Awesome as always! Didn't know that George still used his Ric then! Thanks for the thorough research and description!
あるDVDのエンディングでこの曲が流れ、とても心が震えてた。トリハダモノでした。
God, this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, man you're incredibly talented
the solo blew my mind awesome job you are the best at playing the guitar. you also sound really good!
Thank you, the solo was great fun to play!
Although i enjoyed the many many hours as a youth (Fell hard for the lads in 2000 at 13) learning all this, many a night this channel would have been a holy grail for me! To anyone who says the Boys cannot play proper or that they are just "Ok", needs to spend the time learning the instruments and songs.
Hey, I'm missing your covers, descriptions, the amazing detail and those trousers! Please make more if you have the time.
I just posted a cover of "I Feel Fine" ruclips.net/video/WvO3kzs-oAw/видео.html
I watched it when it came out, twice. Thank you!
i love your covers because i can figure out the songs by ear and just looking at you playing, awesome dude, and thanks for the covers :D
Congrats on 11 thousand subscribers! Your channel is awesome and I'm glad so many people see it! By the way, that Les Paul is a very beautiful guitar. I have a Les Paul Standard Pro (Epiphone) sunburst, and one day I want to own your exact guitar!!
This must be the best version i've ever heard lf this song, thank you for sharing
@mattiboo Hi Matt I think this is the line up
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
George Harrison: Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Hammond Organ (Overdub)
Paul McCartney: Harmony Vocals, Bass, Piano
John Lennon: Backing Vocal (outro), Six String Bass, Hammond Organ (basic track)
Ringo Starr: Drums, Percussion
Eric Clapton: Lead Guitar
Idk whose playing that guitar overdub in the bridge though
John did the 12 string guitar part.
The best guitar cover on RUclips ever! Good job, man!
Your bent vibratos are so Beautifully played!
Amazing! I love reading your descriptions. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Your videos are amazing. I'm in awe of your playing
another classic here played marvellously 😊 love your videos.
Thanks for putting so much effort into this! Such painstaking detail, I've been wanting to learn Clapton's part "properly" for a long time.
bro at 0:50 oh my god that 12 string is too lit
This is the best I have ever seen. I am impressed.great job. I will give a thumbs up,
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic upload my friend, really nice. Big thumbs up from Spain and have a nice Week: Javier
I didn't know that on while my guitar gently weeps was used the famous Rickenbacker 12 strings. Awesome. Great work mate, cheers lege
Amazing...Especially the guitar solo it was spot on!! Keep up the good work!
My friend has that same Gibson with the reversed bridge saddle. Great tutorial thanks a million.
Another beautiful video. And wearing George's outfit from the mad day out photoshoot😉 George and Eric played this live later and changed it a bit. George duelled with him on solo too. That would be wonderful to see here. But thanks and keep up the good work.
Yea, I love those versions! Clapton also played a great solo on this song at the Concert For George. He was feeling very inspired that night!
PERFECT!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
amazing playing and description of the song
why didn't you play the bass? I love the guitar doubling the bass in the "I don't know why" part!
thanks!
My God, this is amazing. I just can't understand why you are so underated!! Btw i know this isn't intentional, but this is my the best birthday gift yet! I hope your chabbel keeps growing, cause you deserve more attention! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
That's great! Happy Birthday to you!
Watched this many times, especially trying to follow the 12 string - maybe you've already been asked, but could you break any of this down into a tutorial?
Amazing ! Love from Bunbury WA
What's better for a George Harrison guitar The Les Paul or the gibson sg just wondering because im 14 and fro Christmas wondering whats better for playing George the sg or Les Paul
Oh my god, I'm seeing strange colors.... can't believe how good these videos are!!! i'll read the descriptions later - going to keep listening/watching :-) :-) :-)
Check out the descriptions for a whole new level of information!
You did the solo perfect than other people in there covers
Great video and analysis.. one minor point, not sure if this came up before. George's '65 Rickenbacker is believed to be stolen shortly after Candlestick Park. Therefore I think he would have used the his original '63 12 string, identical to the one you have here.
Nice playing. Nicely worked out too.
that GLP tone is JUICY
Awesome covers!!!! you got my attention. you do a great job.been a Beatles fan since I was a kid.
Beautiful cover man, this is my go to channel for anything Beatles! I'm not sure what your plans are for future videos or if you take requests but could you do some more white album songs? I'd love to see something like a full band cover of yer blues!
Reel ADT, is there a particular preset you used? Sounds incredible!
That acoustic guitar is gorgeous
Freaking awesome and spot on even with the fading solo I love. I wish I could play this.
Wonderful 🔥🔥
Great song with a great solo thank you for posting
Best cover on the internet
When listening to it as an instrumental it kind of sounds like a wild west guitar song
Mattiboo, you are an awesome guitarist.
Fab .......ulous. I discover amazing
Talented man 👍👍
Mattiboo the gawd back at it again
Nice tones. Leads are great.
Great song great chords man very difficult riff well done
Nice looking dreessed a great performance but what a hell great guitars $$$
This sounded so close to the original that I questioned my guitar tone skills (honestly I play it more based off of synesthesia than actually nailing the tone, and then I love the sound before realizing that it's nothing alike, but still good). But there were parts like the Rickenbacker 12 that were mixed better, improving the tone.
Here, have some RUclips Red money (hopefully it sends some).
Thank you for watching! The 12 string is buried in the original mix so I wanted to bring it out more in my video. Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the vid and also the detail provided as to the background. Seems strange given the much reported 'difficulties' that George and Paul had in later years, but PMC always seemed to give his best on George's songs.
Actually, the group tried to record this song in two sessions prior to inviting Clapton in for the final run through. Throughout, George says that Paul and John were not really into recording his song and that it was quite difficult. However, once Clapton was brought in, George says that Paul was on his best behavior and began contributing more (such as the piano intro and bassline). A quote from George on this: "It's interesting to see how nicely people behave when you bring a guest in, because they don't really want everybody to know that they're so bitchy" - www.beatlesebooks.com/gently-weeps
I think George said a similar thing about bringing in Billy Preston.
Yes! The rest of the quote actually goes on to mention him: "It was a similar situation when Billy Preston came later to play on 'Let It Be' and everybody was arguing. Just bringing a stranger in amongst us made everybody cool out." - www.beatlesebooks.com/gently-weeps
i’ve seen a picture of george wearing that shirt
That's great my friend, you're wonderful
this is so great! One of your best covers. Keep up the good work ^-^
Damn, and I thought Alan Pollack's breakdowns and deconstructions of Beatles songs were thorough! Was I ever wrong. All hail Matty! Dude, you could teach a college course in this...and maybe you should. The work (labour of love?) you put into these videos is astonishing. Believe me, many of us out here appreciate it, whether we hit the comment button or not.
Have you seen the South American band, Black Bird's rendition of this song? They start out sort of note-for-note (and it's great!). Lead guitarist Aisse Gaertner faithfully replicates EC's solos...until...toward the end he goes off the rails, improvising a wailing, screeching, riffing solo that has purists clutching their hearts in anguish. But strangely, it works! It gives the old song a fresh, modern feel. And all the while during Aisse's amazing solo, the other Black Bird musicians continue to belt out that great chugging rhythm line. At the end of the song, the camera pans around. The older folk in the audience are going, "WTF??" while the younger people are on their feet, clapping and cheering. I think GH would be happy and proud that his song has such longevity.
At the risk of sounding like a fanboy (too late!), how can I end this comment without complimenting your clothes? Matty, you're awesome. Why do you do this? Why do you put so much effort into the study of fifty year-old music? Do you get any compensation at all from these videos? You should. They are as professional a breakdown and analysis of Beatles music as you'll find *anywhere*. And unlike Pollack's dry written dissertations, yours are fun to listen to!
Keep up the good...no, keep up the *great* work!
I checked out the cover you mentioned and it was interesting; shred meets The Beatles! It is amazing that George, a guitarist not known for extended solos, wrote on of the best progressions to jam over. I hope that it is interesting for viewers to read my descriptions and then see how it was played in the video versus simply reading it!
Awesome playing and the description is dead on, thanks man!
Your the best!!*I'm rocking out to this amazing guitar skill*
Thanks for the great video. Super cool blue shirt.
