    I woke up this morning to find the sun streaming through my windows and then the first thing I see is a new Mike Pachelli song on my phone” Here comes the sun”! What could be better and more apt.

    The fifth Beatle, Mike, has completed another tremendous how to Beatles video.
    Everyone is so appreciative of how much work and time you put into making each song stand out. Kudos to you, the person who could truly join Paul and Ringo on stage. ❤🎸

    I was 9 yrs old when George played this song on SNL w/Paul Simon, it transformed me! My wife walks past my desk, see's your videos, asks me who is that guy? I say, "That's Mike Pachelli, my Beatles professor."

    A famous classicist (whose name, alas, I forget) one remarked (in a book, unfortunately, I neglected to note) that one good translation of Vergil does far more good than do a great number of learned papers of criticism; similarly, I submit, one good instructional video-and all of your instructional videos are very good indeed-by demonstrating how a song was played, recorded, and how it works, tells us much more about the song than do shelves of criticism.

    The breaking down of another Harrison masterpiece is a tremendous accomplishment and help to guitar enthusiasts to which I am grateful. Additionally, when I listen to your sound alike, I like paying attention to your background vocal harmonies. Often I hear and discover parts of the song unnoticed despite my listening and learning Beatles’ tunes for close to 60 years. In this tune, listening to your interpretation of the McCartney / Harrison background vocals, I discovered inflections I hadn’t closely paid attention to on the album. It’s as if you’ve helped me rediscover this song newly which is joyous for me as a Beatles’ fanatic. Thank you for gifting us your precious time and wisdom.

    Apart from these things Mike brings us being great leassons theres also the occasional surprise. I've listened to this song for 55 years now and I've always heard the last chord on "the A7 build-up" as actually being a 7. Ie the pinkie on the third fret (counted from the capo) of the first string, not the fifth. Having seen a lot of Mikes breakdowns of Fab4 songs I'm fairly sure he's correct, though. Will have a listen later, to see if it has just been my mind wanting the 7 to be there. Or possibly another instrument, eg the synth, playing a 7 there.,
    Keep'em coming, Mike. These things you do are excellent.
    Bottom note: Yup, 55 years soon. Truly timeless stuff. Something that not will be said of most of the stuff coming out today [said this surley curmudgeon] 😊.

    John did utilize him in the early 70's on his songs which was interesting.
    Anyways, great song. Great vocals, a great bass line from Paul that is totally different from what's heard on something and just love that Moog part.

    I often wonder when a song has been ‘written’ by someone , in this case George how much input and direction he would have had in composing Ringos drum part or whether Ringo was allowed to just play along and devise his clever drumming himself. A brilliant rendition once again Mike of this much copied and famous song . You always have every part played perfectly.

  • @TR4Ajim
    @TR4Ajim 10 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks Mike! I believe the synthesizer “slide” was an accident. I read that some setting stuck and caused the notes to descend and fade. They liked the effect and kept it in.
    Also when George played Here Comes the Sun on SNL (with Paul Simon) he had moved the capo down to the 5th fret. I guess to accommodate Paul’s vocals?

    • @MPfrance
      @MPfrance  10 месяцев назад +1

      @TR4 - What you read is absolutely incorrect. The moog had a ribbon controller slider and the descending notes are clearly intentional.
      On the SNL show - I believe George Capo'd the 5th fret so Paul Simon could use open 1st position chords on the walk-down eg: C - G/B - Am - G which made the parts 'fatter.'

      @Cbcw - I NEVER use "an acoustic's built-in electronics." As far as "mic selection for acoustics" is concerned. I use either a small diaphragm condenser, large diaphragm condenser (cardioid or figure 8 pattern) or a ribbon mic. I happen to know the sonic characteristics of my four (usual) choices quite well (Neumann KM184 & U87, Sontronics Delta & AKG 414 B-ULS) so the choice is easy for me depending on the sound I'm looking to capture.

    Mike...love your breakdown of Beatles songs. But I must disagree with your assessment of the time signatures in this gem. I don't believe the "weird" section goes into 2/8 or 3/8. I think it's just a measure of 4/4 that is counted "One, Two, Trip-a-let" followed by a measure in three, and a measure in 4. Please consider my suggestion and let me know what you think. Either way, your playing is great and I really appreciate the breakdown.
