The Beatles were amazing in how their music progressed from She Loves You to this great classic. Just a two year gap give or take a few months from one to the other. Jon, I love the breakdown of this great classic that you've done here. All the best!
I.M.O. The thing that set the Beatles apart was that they're songs were not Blues based. The majority of British bands started w/ Blues (but they all wanted the success of the Beatles). They were however very good at R & B. Their songs were NOT 3 chord Blues ala Chuck Berry or Bo Diddly but were advanced from most "Rock" music. More on the level of the Brill Bldg. professional songwriters (Goffin,/King. Bakarak/David, Mann & Weil, Lieber/Stoller).
@@larrywishon8084Actually, that’s not quite true-the Beatles were VERY much influenced by Chuck Berry and the blues, and they did several covers of his songs, both in studio AND in concert , including “Rock and Roll Music.” But even apart from the covers, The Beatles also wrote their own songs with Chuck Berry-like riffs and blues-type influences. It shows especially in songs like “One After 909,” which IS a 12-bar blues, and even some of their mid-period songs like “I Want Hold Your Hand” from 1964, which uses Chuck Berry-like shuffle patterns throughout the verses. Obviously, bands like The Rolling Stones were far more Blues purists than the Beatles, but the Beatles also showed quite a LOT of blues influences.
I shouldn't have used Chuck Berry as an example. What I meant to say was The Beatles songs were much more advanced than 1-4-5 (chord progression) songs like Hound Dog, La Bamba, or Louie, Louie. I.M.O. the Beatles didn't have the Black Gospel/Blues feeling like Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf or Eric Clapton. However, they COULD play & sing the Hell outta R& B. How is that? Go figure. I guess they just liked R & B more than Blues. Of course they played several styles & were influenced by other singer/writers. Mixed together in various ways their music came out as their own, fresh & new.
@@harveycan5820 Yes, he does. he states the genre and then cites the The Beatles as an example. It is literally the first thing he says. "I can't think of a guitar that captures the sound of 60s folk rock better than rickenbacher 12 string so I busted out my Rickenbacher 12 string for this lesson today we're going to dive into how to play Ticket to Ride by The Beatles"
Are you teaching for people who bought their 1st guitar last week? Please do not count or talk endlessly about strumming patterns😮 the next 1234 I will unsubscribe. I have been playing guitar for 50 years, show a difficult piece!
Go away, this gentleman kindly helps beginning and intermediate players, if it’s not for you, don’t watch! Hey there is an idea! Nobody needs your negativity! Thank you.

I saw them do it live in August '65. One of my favorite Beatles songs, Thank you!
Iconic song and an excellent lesson. Thank you for your time and service to the guitar community at large, it’s appreciated.
I always wanted to learn this. Great teaching. Thanks very much Jon!
Excellent! Beautiful Rick, by the way!
How easy is that...thank you. Love your tutorials.

This was the first record I ever bought as a kid. A 45 single that cost 50 cents, and I still have it.
That's awesome!!!
George was a brilliant guitarist, and songwriter. He felt that he wasn't being utilized enough, by John and Paul.
What a beautiful sound!
A party favorite back in ‘65
Thanks mate
a great Beatles tune but you failed to do the all important Gmaj7.
I have a mariachi version of Sweet Home Alabama, and it's pretty fabulous.
Wow… Sweet Home Alabama doesn’t sound too bad on a Rickenbacker 12-string either! 😂
You tube will definitely de-monetize this one.
You do know Lennon used a Strat on the recording of Ticket to Ride
BOCKER ? ...................... 😂 🤣 😂
This guy thinks The Beatles are folk rock? Pretty disqualifies him from any comment
He didn't actually say the Beatles were folk rock but that the Ric 12 is the sound of folk rock... Which is a solid known thing.

Get a life if not some manners, excuse us if we're not rock god's who can flawlessly play all three guitar parts of Free Bird simultaneously
As they say, "lighten up, Francis". There are other instructors out there if you can't handle it.
@@SY-lm5ke Thanks for your brutal reply! please check out Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials, this site has a Demo and then a lesson. All Free
If you've been playing for 50 years then I would assume you wouldn't need a lesson 😊
Err.... listen to anything played by the Byrds
