One of my favorite early Beatles songs. The song is effervecently joyous.
That was FUN !!! The reason people never get tired of Beatles music is because it's all fun. It just gets you right in the soul. A little "old man" story : I'll never forget one afternoon just coming from high school and a couple of blocks away, Im coming up to where there was a small grocery store and suddenly the feedback hum at the start of I Feel Fine starts coming over the street. It was on loud. That was an amazing experience, to hear that cool sound flowing over me. Ive never forgotten it and I never will. What a thrill that was. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . etc ! That was 1964 - 65 and I was 17. I am sooo glad I lived through that time. It was the greatest.
As much as I hate being older, I’m happy I was alive during the Beatles coming to America. It truly changed my life watching them on Ed Sullivan that February night.
beatles1000 yup as soon as I saw the Beats on Ed Sullivan I knew what I wanted to do
beatles1000 those were the days of much great music
Did you become a musician?
So lucky you😊
YOU'RE LUCKY MAN
One of their neatest simplest songs. Again, John's harmonica makes it greater.
Jim - I totally agree!
50 years later, I still remember the lyrics.
Beautiful song!
Now I know how to play Beatles song. I Should Have Known Better.
Love the John attitude. Damn, he was a good rhythm guitarist.
Don't think a day has gone by since I was nine that a Beatle thought, hum, song, or lyric hasn't crossed my mind.
If you were born after the 1960s, you might not appreciate the joy the Beatles inspired. But if you look at the expression on Mr. Pachelli's face as he performs this simple, early Beatles tune, you see the echo of it. Music truly is the food of love. Play on, Mike!
If you look at my face you can see I was born WAY before the 1960's!
@@MPfrance no...because you look at least 10-15 years ypunger than your real age
Pablo Pérez - Well, thanks - and I guess that's a good thing 'cuz my wife if 20 years younger than me!
@@MPfrance It IS always like this: women of musicians are way younger
I was born in 1989 but I can't live without the Beatles' music.
Oh! back to 1964 we were a group of Grade 4 boys singing to our girls classmate. They all smiled back at us after finishing. What an innocent year and joys that brought to us !
That's exactly what the song does to me, it makes me smile and feel happy. It's one of my absolute fav Beatles songs.
I already know most of their songs, but i just love watching these breakdowns, it just shows their musical genius that much more
Imagine taking a bus across town just to learn a new chord today. Thank God we have the internet.
With that said - their dedication to learning new chords really paid off !!!
One of my favorite feel good Beatle songs
I love that song. One of my favourite Beatles songs.
I love your enthusiasm, I thought it was just me who felt this crazy for these four. At almost 62 I'm still consumed with their work. Great video Thanks Mike :)
You are not alone, my friend
Im 47 and have been a massive beatle fan since my dad told me to listen to penny lane ,strawberry fields double A side when i was about 10? ( in the 80's)The 90's rave thing passed me by as a blip while I was learning guitar and immersing myself in the beatles and the like! No regrets
I am 19 and huge beatles fan
One of my favorite songs and you nailed it. Thank you. I loved the track too. You can tell a great song by how it stays great over the years. 1964 to 2020 is 56 years and it still sounds wonderful to me.
This song and All You Need is Love are the Beatles best songs. This song has an increasing tension, an innovation in the begining of their carreer. It was a number one hit in Norway.
I'm so impressed by Mr. Pachelli's thorough understanding of all things "Beatle". He comes across in a way that a person can get comfortable with quickly. The smile disarms and relaxes you. Never condescending. Mr. Pachelli, you make guitar easier for people like me. I'm trying. Thank you
I now realise that when I used to sing and strum this track in the early 60s, I used to play (or try to play) a B major bar chord, when it should have been a B7, which would have been easier to play on my 12-string. Thanks Mike, but over 50 years too late with this info. But probably I should have known better.
Great comment. I did the same.
A B major instead of a B 7, you can't do that.
Having learned the correct way, for the benefit of Mr. Mike, I feel fine.
I would like to make a joke too but I can't think of any, this is the first time I've learned this song,I should have known better.
Do you want to know a secret?
I need Help ! Something about this I can’t get it to Come together. I don’t want to spoil the party, but I want to tell you,
I just don’t understand.
I asked Some other guy The night before, but No reply.
Here in Memphis, Tennessee
I love Rock-n-roll music but Now and then we’ll play country.
Thanks 😊
PS. I love you
One of my all time favorite Beatles songs and one of his best vocals ever. I wish I could hear all of the 18 takes. Would be great listening to the outtakes
No I was born well before 1960 and a family of musical talent..Grew up playing Covers of The Beatles as a Drummer in a steady band with a good gig. I sang a few of their songs as well as playing the drums and we dressed like The Beatles on Stage so really pleased to learn some of their songs on Guitar simply really cool now. Love the way your teach the songs Mike and the way you approach them just grabs you into it.
When I watched the movie (3 times!) in the Tennessee theater in downtown Nashville in 1964, I came away with this being my favorite song from the movie. You are indeed a good teacher.
Same with me in Rochester UK, came out of the cinema singing this song all day!
Your John Lennon impression is spot on
"Spot on what?" (In John's voice)
Ikr
Nah he looks like Clapton
Close perhaps. But not spot on.
@@kaizer5795 He doos..er..does a bit.
Superb tutorial. I always loved those John strumming changes on the b7 and g7
Glad you liked it!
my favorite of all the Beatles' songs pure joy the harmonica makes me smile john's great voice
A Very Fun Easy Song!! It’s SO Great to find Lennon’s “Musical Personality” in it!! Every Player has Certain Personal Traits to Their Playing.. There’s nothing more fun than playing Something Everyone one in the Crowd or the Backyard is Going to Be Singing along and Smiling to.. great Job Mike! 🎸
You are making history teaching the songs of the fathers of pop rock, thank you and God bless you
Man!!!
I had to coment on Mike's video,I can see how this guy really likes and knows just about everything when it comes to the Beatles, and the way he lets him self off the leash the end of the video when he played the entire song, just beautiful, thank you Mike for shearing your knowledge with us ,keep the good work up👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
The Greatest Band in the History of Rock . And your giving Lessons to some of their Greatest Songs . What could be better ? Thank You so Much Bro !
First time I heard ISKB was in the scene at the movie premiere in my town and just fell in love with it and everytime I hear it makes my soul smile, it was the first Beatle song I tried to learn on guitar .
Anything with the harmonica melts my heart. As a Liverpudlian with strong Irish roots as well I heard the harmonica all the time growing up. This song is one of my favourites of the Beatles catalogue. I don’t play guitar, but I watch your video wishing to learn from you. Thankyou for sharing your time.
Wow Mike, I am floored at how great you play one of my favorite Beatles songs!
It reminds me the beatlemania era when I was a grade 5 students singing this song with my peers to girls. They would smile to us and made us happy for the whole weeks
You’ve gotta teach I’m Happy Just to Dance With You, rhythm guitar is amazing
Really glad to see you posting more Beatles "How To Play" - can't wait until the next.
I have been playing this song omitting the solo part. Now I can do it completely because of your clear tutorial. Thank you sir.
Really like your lessons Mike...You're such a devoted Beatles fanatic too. Rock on
Ich bin - Truth be told, I’m really not that much of a Beatles “fan.” I don’t own a Beatles T-shirt or poster, etc.
But I really admire many of their songs and creativity.
I started playing guitar to the Beatles red and blue song books in the sixties and you have struck the spark to return to my youth God bless you
I love this, Mike. It's all about strumming and up and down picking. I have my special way to stum. I can play rhythm, bass, and lead at the same time. I had no one to play with so I figured it out. I have never had a lesson in my life, but I enjoy you teaching me new things. Thanks for your musician relationship! I listen to music and in 20 minutes figure it out. Rock on Mike.
Thanks Mike, this song is slightly underrated.. I mentioned it to a friend here in Australia tonight and straight off he said "I love that song it just makes me happy!"
It's simple but executed so well and that there is The Beatles... Just the greatest.
To me this is the height of Beatlemania. They'd already conquered the US on Ed Sullivan and now A Hard Day's Night would cement the legacy. The film, the tour, the songs ALL represent what the Beatles had accomplished in getting rid of the Bobby Rydell's as real and vibrant music had arrived via the UK, but using mostly American influences. It's such a great and happy song indeed. The B7 turn-around sets up everything and love how you showed John's flamenco influenced strum. I was a John fan when they first came out and then switched to melodious Paul but now realize the greatness all began with Mr. John Lennon. No Beatles going to the top of the poppermost without the Walrus in charge.
And also Mike, I'm doing the intro (and thus the song) on the 12 string but doing the harmonica part on the guitar on the top strings and really not even changing the guitar chord shape in doing so (from the G to the D). Wondering why now that John abandoned the harmonica for future use and this is probably why - can't sing and play harp at the same time. I am completely in LOVE with this song again, thanks!
Happy to have seen them in feb 1964. Did not know at that time I was witnessing musical greatness of the century that has gone into this present day. Phenomenal.
the beatles book has a b major chord , but i will play around with the B7, I love your love for the Beatles ,they were the best! Lots of great tips keep up the great work.
I like to watch his videos, he has such a nice and positive charisma.
I came here via the Strawberry Fields John Lennon birthday celebrations at Central Park New York City where everyone brought their guitars and harps. Lots of Lennon fans who just loved his songs. Thanks for demonstrating John Lenon rhythm licks.
Thank you MIke, it's always a pleasure for me to watch your videos and I like the noticeable admiration for the fab four !!!
So cool, great lesson!
Thank you
This is perhaps my third favorite Beatles song (after, of course, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You"). And I love it so for the same reasons as you - because it's such a happy song. You can't help but feel good listening to it. I know every note and word, and sing along to it EVERY time I here it. And I could hear it a MILLION times and love it just as much. It is about as perfect a song as the Beatles EVER recorded, and deserves FAR more praise and recognition. Beatlemania at its' absolute BEST.
Todd Kurzband - I'm working on a lesson for "She Loves You" right now. I've already done one for "I Want To Hold Your Hand." Here's the link:

Really man..feel the same..A Hard Days Night album is a gem gifted to us!
yes people talk about their later stuff as the serious stuff and treat their early stuff as fluff but that is so wrong, their early stuff was intense, SLYou and I Want to.. are their best songs, people dont get that there was no guitar distortion then and when you only have clear electric it's hard to rock out and those songs in particular rocked out as hard as clear electric would allow. Distortion changed everything and changed songwriting and that is why those songs sound funny to us today.
Mike.....wonderful again ! Thank you for another Beatles guitar lesson (and fun facts added !). Enjoyed it.
Youre the best teacher on the Tube. I usually get bored watching people teach and just wanna listen to them play the song. I never watch teachers. You are the exception. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Thanks. Great tune, but then all Beatles tunes are exceptional.
Just so good! After all these years, the early Beatles music still excites me and brings a smile. What can I say, the Beatles music just tastes good!
Awesome lesson. Thank you so much for your sharing and your wonderful talent.
Great video, I loved the back story about them traveling on the bus to meet someone who knew how to play B7. We don't realise how lucky we are. lol
We absolutely are lucky today with all the learning tools available. That's why I say the lads were geniuses. What they created (initially) with the limited amount of resources available to them is astounding!!
Wow, one of the most concise lessons ever. Great filming, great to the point instruction
Thank you for this fun little gem!!!
Mike, your Beatles lessons are just great, with a beautiful blend of amazing technical skill but also an intangible that can only be there out of a pure love of all things The Beatles.
Mike you are the Master! Thanks a lot for your Chanel and these enthusiastic lessons.
Hey Mike! An old acquaintance of yours from Tampa. We still miss you down here buddy. Just found your lessons and I think they are great for those who love the Beatles' music or who are just starting out. Blessings on you, brother!
Youuuuu.... should have known better than to record that take without double tracked vocals! I love the payoff at then end of these lessons when you put it all together with the vocals! You do such a great job and it's a delight to hear you sing with the reckless abandon that the Beatles captured in the studio. And when I tell you that I love this song so much and have always particularly loved Lennon's vocals on this track - ohhh - you're gonna say you love it too.
john lennon particularly sounded great double-tracked, that was fortunate for him that right when it became the thing it suited his vocals perfectly. Paul didnt sound much different dt'd. Ive researched it and people who sing consistently dont sound as different dt'ed as people who cant sing exactly the same everytime.
Terrific! Always loved this song and the scene on the train with Pattie Boyd posing as a schoolgirl. I'm trying to learn guitar yet again and this is a great song to play along too.
Mike I just came across your channel, I am only now learning guitar and The Beatles are my favourite band, what a lesson, thank you Sir!
Paul McCartney said they heard Buddy Holly’s song It’s so easy was using the b7 chord and went to someone as you mentioned to learn it. Imagine having to go through all that just for one chord, if they had RUclips back then it would’ve been much easier. Thank you for the great lessons and keeping the Beatles alive:)
Yeah but that dogged effort is what deepened their appreciation for the art of songwriting. Their endless curiosity sharpened their compositional skills. Had they been able to just glean all the answers instantly from RUclips, who knows, it may have engendered a sense of complacency. Their hunger and drive, along with natural born talent, is what made them the greatest tunesmiths of all time.
Going on the bus to see that bloke who knew B7 is one of my favourite Beatle stories.
Well well well! I was just listening to “I Should Have Known Better” from the clip in the movie and yes! Indeed the song is in G! My whole life I was doing it in C. You can actually see George playing G to D then to the Em! So glad I came across your lesson. Let’s just say thank you and...lesson learned! Lol
Superb! I like Beatles songs from my childhood.
Dude your John Lennon voice is so good lol.
Sooo kooool
Yessssssss
I’m a life long Beatles fan and that was really great Mike, Thankyou for that !
The Beatles having to ride a bus across town to learn a part of a song… it probably would have been super helpful for them if they could have just gone to Mike Pachelli’s RUclips channel, but I guess they should have know better…. lol
Super great video as always, thanks again!
This guy really knows something about the beatles ❤️ awesome ❤️👍.
Brilliant, thank you Mike
Everytime I hear it, it makes me smile too👍
Hell, just listening to you talk about it and teach it made me smile 😃
Hey Mike! What a great lesson. Even the easiest of songs has that interesting complexity. Love the Fab Four; like all the great bands, everyone brings something different. I teacher once said “if two of you are doing the same thing, one of you isn’t needed.” lol. Have a wonderful day 👨🎨
Been playing that wrong for the last 40 years! I never picked up on going to the G before the E minor. What a great song! Thank you for the lesson...
Me too on that! hahaha
I've been playing that song for 40+ years also, on the record player..lol... you got one on me, I can't figure out how to tune a guitar let alone play one...iam bummed.
Thanks for sharing!
I didn't see your comment i just said the same thing lol
Me too. I'm still not convinced though. Lol! Gotta look that up.
Lol. I’m not the only one😁
Thanks, Mike. It's the first Beatles tune that really grabbed me. When I picked up the guitar a few years later, this is the first song I learned to play along with the record. In minutes I was a guitar player. So much fun, so many fond memories.
Absolutely brilliant 👌
I never tire of watching this.
Absolutely amazingly great.
Thanks Mike, such a really simple tune but the bridge for me is the stand out genius of creation, I've always really loved the bridge...and cannot for the life of me hear anything else that could have been composed in its place!!!
I was three, born in 61- great song great lesson, Thank you. 🤘🔥🤘
This song I was 12 and saw it in Hard Days Night in the early 70's John's smile and vocals and harmonica and I was like thats what I want to do for a living. George playing those accents on each chord change on his 12 string. Paul & Ringo doing their part it was amazing. to see. I watched Hard Days Night with my late Mother the last Christmas we had together in 2003. She had taken her kid sister to see the Beatles live in 1964 their only show ever in Milwaukee. Mike you do a great job with these Beatles songs along with your World Class ability on the Classic stuff and your Jazz albums. Thank You
Mike, Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to create these videos! Your love of the guitar, the music and the artists behind the music really come through. As a total hack guitarist, I have found your videos very approachable and useful to find my way into previously impenetrable songs! All the best!
Thanks for your videos Mike. Actually I grew with The Bewatles, but in 1964 I was only 14 and didn't pay attention on them. Now I'm trying to learn and play their songs on guitar and piano.
One thing I noticed the Beatles did. They used established chord progressions but in a way that made them fresh and non cliche again. For example there is something in the human psyche that likes to hear a major chord, followed by the minor, the sub dominant and then the seventh. A lot of early rock songs did that such as Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love? To ''disguise'' this the Beatles use it in this song but instead of using it in a standard way at the beginning of the verse they wait and use it halfway through G - Em - C - D. I still hear this progression even on recent songs. If you can use this progression in a new and creative way you could have a hit song.
Great bass by Paul, John's rhythm, George's solo/fill-ins, and Ringo's no nonsense steady drum rhythm with no drum rolls/fill-in because he knew the song didn't need any! Pete Best would have been inserting his rapid fire drum rolls all over the place!
Great song to learn and practice. Thanks Mike. Totally enjoy the lessons.
Very enjoyable. Mike does make this easy and as already mentioned his joy in playing this song makes this a great video.
We all should've known better how good this song is, shouldn't we?
I've listen to this song for 55 years and come to conclude that there were two acoustic guitars used when they recorded this. Because I hear two different time signatures on the j160e and they dubbed 1 over top of the other. And listen to the time signature of John playing. Very unique.
Georgie had a j160 as well
MIKE THAT WAS A GREAT GUITAR LESSON. LOTS OF ENERGY AND IT SHOWS THAT YOU KNOW THE SUBJECT MATTER. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOU! I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL AND WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR GUITAR PLAYING
MADE FUN AND SIMPLE.....FRANK MOELLER
I enjoy watching your videos. I wish I had started playing guitar when I was a teen instead of my 70's, but I enjoy a challenge.
You can do it!
Terrific lesson. another great Beatles tune. Love it!
Wow! This is great! Best Ive seen, great friendly guy, thanks Mike
Hi, it’s a joy to watch and listen to your tutorials
thanks mike your enthusiasm is infectious
Good Job! Greetings from Brazil! Beatles 4ever!!!
hello Mike tes tutos sont super j'apprends vite grace a tes explications et aux accords qui s'affichent j'ai 68 ans et j'ai commencé a gratter la guitare il y a 2 ans sur internet et grace a des gens comme toi je fais de rapides progrès encore merci et longue vie a tes tutos friendly from France
merci pour les félicitations. Je l'apprécie et je suis heureux de vous aider à apprendre à jouer de la guitare!
Trop bien, merci pour cette démonstration que n'aurait sans doute pas renié les Beatles...👍
Hi super teacher ! You re not the walrus you re the one ! Gratefull from France .
Mike, when I was a teenager, I played rhythm guitar in a band. We played mostly Beatles and Ventures stuff. Then life got in the way and I didn't touch my guitar for 55 years. I'm just now trying to relearn everything. Of all the guitar teachers online, you're the one that makes it the easiest and most fun. Of course now, at the age of 75, the fingers don't move like they used to so changing chords is a bit of a challenge. But I'll stick with it and it will all come together sooner or later. Many thanks for the lessons online. Please keep 'em coming.
I'm 81 and play in 3 bands in Prague so keep at it.
Mike you sure know your stuff great video, I used to live in the UK at the time of the Beatles, even though I was a kid at the time everybody knew the Beatles were just the band. I remember people got upset when they sent a video in for their performance on top of the pops because they could not show up because of all the screaming from the fans.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII..... love everything that you do".... Mike. Thanks for your channel!
I loved Song!
