    I love the Harmonies on this song .. probably my favorite harmonies from all the Beatles songs.. I love how Paul comes in and out in certain sections like “the girl that’s driving me mad” and then he cuts out and John sings “is going away” on his own.. I love to sing along wit Paul when he goes in and out.. it’s kind of like the song “Help” but in a better way since it’s a song along not a response kind of thing.. and then when Paul and John sing the chorus together and also the outro wit Paul going “my baby DONT CARE!” 😂 such a great way that Paul harmonizes on this song.. 🔥 ❤

    • @shyshift
      @shyshift Год назад

      Yep! Paul’s high B creates a sweet A9 chord. Another thing is in the bridge where John goes from D to C to D to C and Paul doesn’t follow that melody line he goes up from E to F#. I always thought that was unique.

      C'est, de loin, le titre que je préfère de ce groupe (harmonie et surtout, construction).
      Un autre titre qui possède les mêmes critères c'est "California girls" des beach boys.

    Mike, I’m not a musician, but I get so much from your videos. I appreciate how you explain how the different parts work individually and then together. Your sound-alikes make it all make sense. I’ve been following you for a couple of years, found you with your video on the genius of Lennon as a guitarist - woke me up to his style and impact. Many, many thanks!

    Mike, this is my all-time favorite song for over 50+ years. I've played it on my acoustic and w/amateur bandmates forever. And yet you still manage to tease out nuance I've missed or haven't been privy to. For ex, the D7 slide on the D string in the middle 8, and picking the B7 & E when transitioning. You do a great service to us Beatle wannabees.

    I’ve listened to most of your stuff. If I didn’t know this was ticket to ride I would never have guessed it from the parts. When it all,comes together, it reveals itself. I’m always amazed at how good the Beatles were as musicians and songwriters. I can’t think of a “three chord” effort from them except Hey Jude. Everything else is melodically, harmonically and rhythmically outstanding and way way ahead of any other mainstream band then, and now. Also, very well done to pick the bones out of this one. That couldn’t have been easy.

  • @richardcooper4206
    @richardcooper4206 Год назад

    Another great analysis and how to play video. Your videos really explain why the beatles stand out from the other groups of the time - including mine! It was their choice of embellished chords and chord voicings which are so brilliant. I think that George was the main driver of this and just love his little fills which are sublime although i didnt really notice them at the time. We worked out the basic chords: major, minor andthe occasional seventh was as complex. I also used to miss out or simplify most of the solos as they were too difficult.
    Keep up the good work.

    I was wondering why this got reuploaded but still fabulous job nonetheless, this was one of the first Beatles songs I heard since I remember making a Beatles compilation album with my dad when I was a kid (the version we used was from a Live at the BBC CD we had) and was one of the first Beatles riffs I learned on guitar so it's still been one of my favourite songs of theirs for a long time. I'm not sure if you've done a lesson on any of these yet but I'd love to see a lesson on Day Tripper, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps or anything from the Abbey Road Medley (I know you've done The End and that was one of the first lessons I saw from you, but any of the other songs included or even a multiple part lesson on the full thing could be really cool) if any of those songs catch your interest. Great job as always, Mike, happy holidays and peace and love from Canada

    @strathman7501 9 месяцев назад +1

    Yes, in 1980 John was claiming the song as "me" and minimising Paul's input to the drum patter. But the record support's Paul's version.
    In Hit Parader, Nov 1965, p.19, John talks about TTR and says that it was an incomplete idea when he brought it to Paul. "Paul changed it a bit. He said Let's alter the tune."
    This fits Dick James's account that it was a joint idea dating from Dec 1964, when Paul sang him a "snatch of melody" that they were going to use and John mentioned that he already had the title "Ticket To Ride"
    It also fits George Martin's account that John played him a work-in-progress version of the song in Switzerland in Feb 1965 and told him that was going to get together with Paul to finish it when he got home. He did just that on Feb 14 1965 at Kenwood.
    This also fits Paul's account: "We wrote the melody together; you can hear on the record, John’s taking the melody and I‘m singing harmony with it but we’d often work those out as we wrote them. Because John sang it, you might have to give him 60 percent of it. It was pretty much a work job that turned out quite well.”
    Paul's input extended to the lead guitar licks which he played himself. Referencing these in a Melody Maker interview in 1965, Lennon says: “Hey, listen. Hear that play by Paul? He’s been doing quite a bit of lead guitar work this week. Gear. I guess he’s moving in!” (Paul played recognisably similar lead work on “Another Girl” and “The Night Before,” that same week.)
    By 1980 Lennon was talking down Paul's involvement to Davis Sheff, saying only, "Paul's contribution was how Ringo played the drums." But the historical record says otherwise.

    • @MPfrance
      @MPfrance  Год назад +11

      @scott - thanks and well, I haven't had to cut 'n paste my response to your inquiry for quite a while so here's the skinny:
      It takes the better part of two weeks for me to do one of these lessons on just the guitar parts.
      Research, figuring out, deciphering, memorizing, videotaping the lesson materials, recording audio, editing video & audio, creating chord blocks in PhotoShop, mastering, bouncing.wav files, writing out the chart & tabs, inserting video clips, bouncing to mp4., uploading to RUclips (the upload alone takes 8 hours) etc. etc. etc. I do all this by myself. I'm a guitarist. I teach guitar. I do play bass. But to also teach the bass as accurately as I do the guitar parts would add another two or three days of work and make the videos more than 30 minutes long.
      Most viewers don't even watch the entire video. A RUclips clip can earn 1 - 3 cents per ad view - but EVERYBODY skips past the ads and that GREATLY decreases the revenue potential. So, with a wife and son to feed, it's not even cost effective for what I'm doing now.
      I used to NOT include the bass (video) in my lessons but I do now include it for the student to (at least) see how it was done.
      In RUclips, you can slow the video down to half-speed and perhaps figure the bass part out by yourself. That's how old guys like me learned how to play songs. By slowing down the records to half-speed.
      Hope you understand...

    Crazy how insecure Paul is, considering how revered he is. Coming out and taking credit for John's songs after he died. Hes done it on all of Johns best songs.
