Would've loved to have seen him keep going in the Abbey Road direction if the band had stayed together. Feel by 69 he'd made his peace with just being the lead guitarist in the Beatles and there was going to be other stuff outside it
I’ve listened to the Abbey Road album nearly 15,000 times since 1970. I’ve listened as well to many covers of this particular medley. Yours is by far the best.
Abbey Rd side 2 is the greatest music ever produced by mankind. At least 15,000 times for me too. The Dolby Atmos version on my killer stereo is a religious experience for me.
Congrats on 20k subscribers, well deserved : you're definitely one of the most on point Beatles covers channels out there, and this video is no exception!
The musicianship was on a whole other level with Abbey Road. The album is intricate and complex musically. It's a masterpiece. You played this really well. This stuff is not easy.
Busqué cada letra de cada canción y la canté mientras sonaba sus guitarras y bajo de fondo. No hay nada más precioso que esto. Psdt: Golden Slumbers - Carry That Weight - The End es la segunda mejor cosa que ha hecho McCartney en los Beatles, amo ese trío, lo considero una sola canción y es mi tercera favorita de la banda.
Man just absolutely superb! You got a new sub for sure. My dad died about 5 years ago, and was the biggest Beatles fan. He was also a guitarist and had the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard. He would have loved your channel and I can see him watching this video in particular a thousand times. Now I'm crying! Miss you dad. Thank you so much for this.
George was such an amazing and creative guitarist. So many of his parts were all over the neck, elaborate and always perfect for the song. A lot of it you don’t appreciate since they are buried in the mix but especially the white album and abbey road he was truly at his most creative. Thank you for your videos which highlight these magnificent parts.
I didn't think I could be more amazed and impressed by the Beatles until I saw this. Seeing the visual of what they were doing makes me appreciate their genius even more, which I didn't think was possible. Their choices of where to go are so unique. The parts are so complementary. Truly amazing. Thanks for all the effort you took to make this and for sharing it!
Your not only an inspiration for fellow Beatles lovers but up and coming guitar players such as myself. This being your greatest tribute of them all! Truly appreciate all your hard work Sam keep it up😁
Wow Sam, what an awesome video. You deserve 20k subs, so glad I stumbled across your channel at the start of the year! You are a gifted musician of the highest quality. 20k is only the start! 👏 Keep doing what you do Sam 👏 And can I just say the sound of your Les Paul in particular throughout the medley is gorgeous, I can see why she's your baby! 😂😍 Loved the video Sam thanks for uploading! And congrats on 20k subs!
Wonderful job as usual! You're the first to get John's part on the rhythm track of 'The End' right, with the capo on the 5th fret, just like the photos from that session! Also the Bass VI on 'Golden Slumbers' / 'Carry That Weight'. You're the best Congratulations
I have always wondered about the guitar parts in this section, and have attempted to figure some of it out, but YOU have really done it! Kudos on spending so much time to do this right. I hear now the crystal clear parts that were played on those Epiphones, and "Lucy" the Gibson Les Paul is very well brought back to life here with your Paul, and to see you holding the notes and even sliding down from "C" to "B" as the phrase ends shows the subtle, gentle touch of George. Amazing!
I absolutely love side 2 of abbey Road, a true classic. Side 1 is pretty damn good but side 2 is something else. This is so well played, very authentic.
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight is 100% Bass VI. There is one part in Golden Slumbers where George jumps three octaves quickly so that was easier on bass vi. Probs would have been for a non-bass player like George. Also he has an open G ringing out for it. On a Jazz Bass you wouldn’t have time to let a note ring out and jump.
I wish I could like this video a million times, absolutely fantastic, the playing is exact and i'm obsessed with Beatles' guitar tones, so this is heaven
Sincere congratulations Sam. I learn so much from your channel (and I'm probably about three times your age -- oh God). Love the stuff that you do, including Gear, Here and Everywhere. Can't wait to hear you branch out with the Squier "Brownie" (hint, hint). It would also be great to hear you to cover some Bad Finger. In any event, I look forward to any of your videos.
That was a tour de force of guitar playing! Mesmerizing. Harrison really got to showcase on this medley…his guitar playing really is historically good through this.. LENNON too but George finally got to play a lot of fills! Great job.
congrats on 20k Sam, I've been subbed a while now and its nice seeing more people find your channel. I remember requesting that initial cover of you never give me your money because i could hardly find any covers of it and I love the song. I'm sure you'll continue to grow as you've been massively underrated for a while now haha

George really improved so much as a guitarist from ‘68-69’
Improved? Not at all. He just tried new styles of playing/creating. He was an amazing guitarist all along.
Would've loved to have seen him keep going in the Abbey Road direction if the band had stayed together. Feel by 69 he'd made his peace with just being the lead guitarist in the Beatles and there was going to be other stuff outside it
His lead works during this period are so delicate and tasteful. Stuffs like Don't Let Me Down and Two Of Us are so blissful to listen to.
Wish he was as proficient on slide as he became in the 70s, it added a whole new dimension to his style.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse How's that not improving?
George played for the song and not for himself. Sublime.
I can't get over how great that Les Paul sounds!
Gibson makes great pickups 👍
@@dogpd3I actually put OX4 low wind PAF’s in there 😎
@@sampopkin amazing pickups.
I’ve listened to the Abbey Road album nearly 15,000 times since 1970. I’ve listened as well to many covers of this particular medley. Yours is by far the best.
Abbey Rd side 2 is the greatest music ever produced by mankind. At least 15,000 times for me too. The Dolby Atmos version on my killer stereo is a religious experience for me.
Think your math is off, there’s only 19,000 days total since 1970 so you would have had to listen to the entire album almost once a day for 54 years.
@@thefonzkiss Hahaha, 20,000 times! And about 1000 times just since I got my killer stereo and the Abbey Road Dolby Atmos remix!
@@thefonzkiss That's less than once per day. How is the math off?
@@strikerbowls791 Because no one on planet earth has listened to the same album every day for five decades, you goon.
Those last 12 seconds of the end mark possibly the most beautiful guitar parts of the entire Beatles catalog. Perfect arpeggios
No one noticed he’s wearing each guy’s album cover colours for the end solos.
Congrats on 20k subscribers, well deserved : you're definitely one of the most on point Beatles covers channels out there, and this video is no exception!
Thanks! Coming from you that means a lot
@@sampopkinnice reference.
So I guess Sam P. Is the Sun King? Okay, he's got my vote 🥂
Two of my favorite Beatles channels in one place???? Whaaaaaaaaat.
he did it.. the madman.. He did the whole damn thing!
No one does it better than you, Sam. Out of all the Beatle cover channels, you are the best!! You are the king!!
george harrison was very detail to choose the sound of his guitar 😍😍😍
The musicianship was on a whole other level with Abbey Road. The album is intricate and complex musically. It's a masterpiece. You played this really well. This stuff is not easy.
congrats on 20K to the best guitarist on youtube. much deserved. here's to many more!
It’s all just filler until you release your next covers
@@sampopkin Sam, you are a freaking beast! Btw your Old Brown Shoe discussion left me scratching my head.
You're both fantastic.

Now I’m tearing up! Thanks for the kind words. Your dad sounded like a legend
@@sampopkin yes he definitely was! Thank you.
I would swear that this was the actual record if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. The tone on that Les Paul 😮
14:45 love the outfit changers for each player
WOW! This obviosly was a lot of hard work. Great work as always, Sam. I'm very impressed how good it sounds. Road to 50k now!
Absolutely the best pop rock opera
Excellent!
Lennon's performance on "Sun King" is amazing ❤️

A lot of it you don’t appreciate since they are buried in the mix but especially the white album and abbey road he was truly at his most creative.

Absolutely. George Martin FAILED, in my opinion, in burying so many subtle yet important guitar and drum parts.
Phenomenal Sam! You even have the switch from right to left channel on Her Majesty! 🤩
Super Superior Sam!
"and in the end the MUSIC you take is equal to the MUSIC you make!!!!"
BRAVO! SUPERB! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Outstanding!
that epiphone sounds heavenly
Great job. Loved it! 👏👏🙌
Impresionante!
Me he quedado eclipsado.
Eres buenísimo.
Gracias por este magnífico👏👍
5:38 John here is literally singing "Here comes the Sun..." while playing the chords of Something. Genius.
I never caught that! No clue if that was intentional, but man that is genius.
FUAH CONGRATULATIONS DUDE!!
The work you did is incredible, I still remember when you were a channel that commented on my videos to correct me haha!
😂
Absolutely Utterly and passionately entertaining!!
I didn't think I could be more amazed and impressed by the Beatles until I saw this.

me pongo de pie Sam Popkin... ¡FELICIDADES! excelente trabajo
I just sat frozen (at work) for 20 minutes listening to your fabulous re-creation. Bravo!!
Your not only an inspiration for fellow Beatles lovers but up and coming guitar players such as myself. This being your greatest tribute of them all! Truly appreciate all your hard work Sam keep it up😁
Thanks so much
Abbey Road had the most tasteful and exquisite guitar parts of all the Beatle albums and you just masterfully recreated it.
Congrats!!!
Wow Sam, what an awesome video. You deserve 20k subs, so glad I stumbled across your channel at the start of the year! You are a gifted musician of the highest quality. 20k is only the start! 👏 Keep doing what you do Sam 👏
And can I just say the sound of your Les Paul in particular throughout the medley is gorgeous, I can see why she's your baby! 😂😍
Loved the video Sam thanks for uploading! And congrats on 20k subs!
Thank you!!!
I like how at 14:46- there's one casino with a bigsby and pickguard, and one's a hardtail. Indicating which is Paul and John
I love it all but especially the “flubs” … the Bass VI stuff makes me smile the whole way through. Superb attention to detail! Thanks so much!
Beautiful
Sam! Your passion and dedication continue to TOTALLY amaze me! Absolutely fantastic! …. B
From someone who got Abbey Road for their 16th birthday,nice work dude.Very nice!😎
Wonderful job as usual!
You're the first to get John's part on the rhythm track of 'The End' right, with the capo on the 5th fret, just like the photos from that session!
Also the Bass VI on 'Golden Slumbers' / 'Carry That Weight'.
You're the best
Congratulations
And the panning on Her Majesty to top it off! Bravo! Bravo!
VERY VERY GOOD JOB!

Felicidades.
Eres un gran músico.
Me ha encantado tu presentación
Perfect soundmaking! It's almost the same as original sound. I really love this vid😊
You plays even also Her Majesty.These are really wonderful!
I absolutely love side 2 of abbey Road, a true classic. Side 1 is pretty damn good but side 2 is something else. This is so well played, very authentic.

Magnificent, well done!

Sent this to some friends, this deserves more views
It's wonderful to see how these parts are orchestrated.
The attention to detail on this video is appreciated. Sounds great! Abbey Road is my favorite album and you nailed it.
phenomenal. Loved this.
Congratulations on 20K Sam! Along with Mike Pachelli i hold you in the highest regard when it comes to Beatle covers, and Beatle music in general. 😎👌🎸
george's guitar sound was sooooooo clean! loved it
Can't even tell ya how much I enjoyed that. Thank you
In Italy we would say "Impressionante!".
Totally mesmerizing, Sam.
Thank you
fantastic
Wow man, the level of attention to details to each John and George's playing is really brilliant! Great work, congratulations on this amazing video!
Perfection
so good to listen the various tracks. Wish this was 50 years ago. I still want to learn regardless. Subscribed gladly
Thanks!

No matter what I will be covering those anyday anyway ;)
Hahaha...even "your majesty"...nicely done.
It's wonderful to hear these well-known guitars, but now deciphered down to the smallest details! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome job! Great guitar tones, especially on Sun King!
Are you now a man with an expression?
Perfect brother...
Wow!! Just awesome. JUST AWESOME!! Because of RUclips we get to be the benefactors of your hard work of Beatles masterpieces.
Isn't that the truth?!? Like another commenter said, I wish this was 50 years ago!
What a fab job you did!
Your best yet!
The clothing choices during the solos on The End were on point.
Bravo!
a lot of hard work. great
Best Beatles era. All were at the peak of their musical gifts in 1969. You did a great job
Amazing!
That was a tour de force of guitar playing! Mesmerizing. Harrison really got to showcase on this medley…his guitar playing really is historically good through this.. LENNON too but George finally got to play a lot of fills! Great job.
Absolutely brillant, a perfect moment of pleasure .
Thank you
This feels like the culmination of a long but worhtwhile effort. As a guitarist I strive for and admire your precision
Excelente interpretación
Finally 20k guys!!!!
Congrats Sam!!

Brilliant stuff and a couple of very groovy shirts.

Congrats on 20k! Everything sounds exactly like the record! Fantastic job!
