It's really fascinating to see you break down alll the Beatles songs to the smallest nuances, you hear things I can't and I love it. The Beatles are the reason I learned English. so thank you for your passion and for enlighten us as to how the songs are played, and were recorded. Just awesome stuff, thanks again.
Mike, your lessons and sound-a-likes often give me new found appreciation for the lesser-known Beatles numbers. This one's often overlooked but I love the vocals and little 'Merseybeat' guitar fills on the chorus. Thank you!
A lot of work in this one, Mike! I've got a deeper appreciation for the depth of instrumentation for this song. No wonder it sounds so full - and SO Lennon!
Any time at all I always enjoy watching Mike brake down a Beatles tune! Another pure musical genius tune on the part of JL! Definitely one of my all time favorite Beatles tunes! Hope that you are doing well in France Mike! 👍👍
I spend half an hour looking for this lesson in your channel yesterday but didnt find it and went to the ivor sorefingers lesson but then you make the lesson the day after i got interested in it lol greetings from brazil
Arguably the best and most revolutionary Beatle album of all. 1964 was very much dominated by Lennon but it was also the year of McCartney starting to come into his own. A spectacular album full of joy, energy, and creativity.
Great lesson as always, the cool thing I've realized about that instrumental section is that you could use it as a jam for a solo or whatever else you'd want to put there and I love that
In December I think, you posted a Beatle song with the Harley Benton 12 string. It sounded so nice that I ordered one. A great impulse buy. I finally got it a couple of months ago - they were out of stock for a while - but I LOVE IT! WOW! And for the price? So thanks for that.
super song, you can teach very well, I really like watching your Beatles lessons, could you do a lesson on the song Please please mister postman or Baby it's you by the Beatles
Whenever I hear someone say anything about the Beatles/John Lennon Double Tracking his voice it reminds me of Nirvana/Kurt 😂 when one of his producers said Kurt hated double tracking his voice.. he hated his voice in general.. but the producer would tell Kurt “John Lennon Double Tracked his voice” 😂 and Kurt would say “oooohh right, I’ll do it” 😂
Thanks Mike, great lesson. It’s nice to see you back on the Beatles horse. If you want some suggestions, maybe Birthday, Yer Blues or Helter Skelter would make for good videos
Again thanks for your work, love the backstories and really enjoy being able to play some of the parts of Beatles tunes you so expertly teach. If you ever get the erg would love any backstories or demonstrations of the Beatles early stable mates, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Billy J Kramer's Dakotas work.
I see you are playing a Harley Bention RB-612 Classic Series instead of a Rick 360/12. I have one an RB-612 as well and I just love it. I didn't have $3K in my guitar budget for a Rick, but $245 was easy to justify purchasing this guitar. It has such a great sound to it. Glad to see you have it in your collection.
Awesome. I used to listen to those early Beatle records non-stop when I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Is there any thought process on how you decide whether or not to wear glasses while playing? I noticed eye-glasses were absent during the "MP the bassist" recording part.
Hey Mike, so great to hear another one of your masterpiece breakdowns of another Beatles masterpiece. But I'm curious. At 12 minutes 38 seconds of your video we hear a bit of the end portion of the instrumental middle 8 you spoke about. But in that same segment at the end of that instrumental, on my vinyl album, it sounds like there's some kind of organ or electric piano especially at the very end of that middle. Is that just a slightly different version? Thanks... Good to catch up with you again. It's been awhile. -Gabriel P.S. this lesson is magnificent!
Wow, if that Harley Benton 12-string was strung heavy string first like a Ric it would be an instant order for me! How is it, especially the intonation? I know you have had the real thing, so I’d love to hear your impressions. Most importantly, thanks for doing what you do…I love these videos!
@gary - Thanks for the kudos. I appreciate it. Now - re: The intonation on ANY 12 string (and any guitar for that matter) is an imperfect science. If somebody tells you their guitar has perfect intonation all throughout the neck - I GUARANTEE they have less than perfect hearing! You have to temper the tuning of a guitar to where on the neck you will play mostly. That being said - the Harley Benton is WELL worth the $$. Unless somebody is ACTUALLY a professional musician - supporting themselves completely by their craft - in my humble opinion they are out of their minds spending 4000 bucs for a Rik 12.
couldn’t you string it how you would want? Jimi Hendrix strung his upside down. The only thing you might have to do is widen the nut space a little I think
Mike here’s a mad one …… do you know if the Beatles ever used ‘altered’ tuning ?? Obviously Keef from the stones did and made quite a good career out of it, 😉,but the Beatles ?? I guess I’m not counting Johns most excellent slide work on ‘For You Blue’ 😅 even if that lap steel was actually tuned to an open chord? Just curios Mike, and if anyone would know it would be you ! All the best, Richard.
@oak - LOL - if you are inferring that I might get some surgery (someday) to fix my goofy looking face - NOTHING could be farther from the possibility of being true!!
This may sound corny. But when you demonstrated George’s part, I could hear The Seekers, “I’ll Never Find Another You.” Does it mean the 21 year old George Harrison at that time and The Beatles even influenced a group like The Seekers? Wow!
@brad - Well, I’ll Never Find Another You.” was written by Dusty Springfield's brother (Tom Springfield) and recorded in November of '64 - so yeah - there's plenty of connections there! And, anyroad - the Beatles influenced EVERYBODY who played guitar back in 1964...
@@MPfrance Thanks for enlightening me further, Mike. The Seekers had a cool sound for their time. But I never would have connected The Beatles with them like this. Amazing! John’s triplet quarter notes’ sequences seemed so unique and “orchestra-like” too. Great lesson as always Mike! Your break-downs bring out so much learning for everyone. Thank you!
I think no. Because the objects in the background are in the opposite direction compared to the video where he plays and sings as John. Small black sofa, microphone holder and vertical pipe. The video is mirrored. But it's still wonderful. Thanks Mike.

The nylon string guitar really fills this out as you stated. These young guys were brillant for 1964 . Outstanding lesson and sound alike Mike
Thank you for keeping the genius of the Beatles alive and well.
Mike, your lessons and sound-a-likes often give me new found appreciation for the lesser-known Beatles numbers. This one's often overlooked but I love the vocals and little 'Merseybeat' guitar fills on the chorus. Thank you!
Cool, thanks!
One of my favorite Beatles songs.
I might try keys on this one
Mine too! Such a strong one too IMHO. Don’t know why they didn’t release it as a single; Lennon’s raw, leathery vocal is absolutely perfect!
Thank you so much Mike for doing what you do. It’s really appreciated and on this simple (but genius) song you’ve done your usual great job!
One of my earliest Beatle memories was listening to my sisters Something New album while my older sibs were off to school. Love these guitar lessons.
I can listen to a Mile Pachelli lesson anytime at all.
Is that Mike's brother?
All success to you, Mr. Pachelli. You deserve it!
Its like Xmas when a new one pops up. Thanks for all your hard work.
Happy holidays! :-)
A lot of work in this one, Mike! I've got a deeper appreciation for the depth of instrumentation for this song. No wonder it sounds so full - and SO Lennon!
So happy to see this under appreciated and rocking song. Thank you
what a thorough and accurate lesson - stellar! I just now realize that Mike is playing the bass left-handed. impressive all-around.
Methinks perhaps he has "flipped" the video - possibly?
Any time at all I always enjoy watching Mike brake down a Beatles tune! Another pure musical genius tune on the part of JL! Definitely one of my all time favorite Beatles tunes! Hope that you are doing well in France Mike! 👍👍
Watch it, mate! I guess you mean "break" down! 🙂

@thomaz - No need to spend "half an hour looking." Simply type my name and the song title. If I did a lesson on it - it'll pop up.
you're a legend Mike! thanks for this.

Mike. You did an outstanding vocal on this! Props! Bravo! God Bless my friend.
Una delle mie preferite, ho sempre amato questa canzone .
As always, nicely done! Great hearing the back stories too.
Thank you so much for the video, Mike! Any time at all is my favorite song! 😊❤👏
Excellent...informative and fun. Thanks Mike
Mike you do a beautiful job on ALL of these. I love the format with the history and then STRONG instruction.❤
Great lesson as always, the cool thing I've realized about that instrumental section is that you could use it as a jam for a solo or whatever else you'd want to put there and I love that

You kept us in suspense wondering who played the hook at the end of the bridge..... nice job!!
This last chord is very touching )
Sixty years old. It always gets me to see audiences - so many young audiences - know all these lyrics.
As always, great stuff.
Grande come sempre, grazie Mike
brilliant!
Phenomenal…Thank You
Underrated song. Used to play it it in my band

@john - the Harley Benton works fine. It's insane to spend the kind of money they want for a Rik. I should know. I've owned three of them! :-)
Was waiting for this one, Mike ur him
Great breakdown Mike. Really funny to hear a middle 8 on a Beatles song instrumental only.
Great number though. 🙋♂️👏👏🇬🇧
Excellent!
I wish we had RUclips back in the 60s 70s and 80s I would have learn these songs a long correctly long time ago
Well done!
Hey Mike, 🙂👍👍 -70SomethingGuy
I want that acoustic so badly

@Moving - Thanks for the kudos.
If I'm wearing glasses - it means I'm reading a chart or lyric sheet.
@@MPfrance Makes sense, cool!
Brilliant touch to include "Paul" singing the high notes that "John" wasn't happy about trying for. (He'd have nailed it if he had tried I reckon).

You're hearing piano overtones from a 1905 Steinway Vertegrand upright.
@@MPfranceoh wow okay I knew it thank you so much. Man.. you're the BEST, brother!

Nice one, Mike. How are you finding the HB 12… I think, for the money, its absolutely excellent.
@HB 12 is WELL worth the $$. George would've gladly played one if it had been given him back then.
😊👍
This was always one of my favorites and Something New, Something New one of my favoritie albums. They don't seem to have gotten much respect.
Soy el único que dado "like", a pesar de las 20 mil vistas que tiene el video. ¡Vivan los Beatles y Mike Pachelli!
Hi Mike, great lesson. Was Lennon’s J160e plugged in on the number or microphone?

espectacular realmente genial desde argentina ruben ..
The new look for Mike Pachelli Barefoot sessions
I'm always barefoot - have a look at any of my drum tracks...
Mike are you really playing bass left handed?
I think no. Because the objects in the background are in the opposite direction compared to the video where he plays and sings as John. Small black sofa, microphone holder and vertical pipe. The video is mirrored. But it's still wonderful. Thanks Mike.
If you look closely at the head of the bass, you can see that “Hofner” is reversed due to the mirror image of the video.
Mike is a Treasure❤
