    Mike , this is one of your best. Okay so you analyse the guitar parts like a brain surgeon and point out the idiosyncrasies with epic accuracy and then it comes to the sound alike and you nail those tricky harmonies. Overall it’s a work of genius. Thanks so much.

      In 2001-2002, while driving home exhausted from a full Saturday of academics at Denver University at the age of 52yr. towards a principal's degree, I would play the entire album, Beatles '65. My favorites were "Yes, it is", & "No Reply". I played these songs in a band in Toledo, OH in 68-69. Mike is "the real deal" with the authentic breakthroughs of Beatle genius. No one ever tried to recreate the Beatles, or Yes, or Moody Blues... because it was sacred undiscovered talent.
      THANK YOU, MIKE PACHELLI!

    Mike, phenomenal job breaking this song down. This song is not only one of the most beautiful and heartfelt songs the Beatles ever created, it also contains one of the most sophisticated chord progressions of all their songs. Were they listening to the Beach Boys at the time? It's the sort of song Brian Wilson might have written, with Van Dyke Parks producing. All in all pretty astonishing.

  • @kfiralfiavideo

    Wow--what a treasure that guitar must be! Phil is such a sweet, modest man. When I was in seminary in St. Louis in the '90s I had the opportunity to interview him after a show, and he was so gracious. We talked mostly about C.S. Lewis and how much I loved his "Way Back Home" album that was then out of print. He said, "Y'know, I think I could do that album a lot better now"--and not too long afterward the re-recorded, extended version came out. At the end of the interview he was closing up his guitar case and said, "Wouldn't it be great if I could make enough money from music to retire and spend the rest of my time painting?" I said, "Don't do that!"
    Thank you, Mike, for sharing your gifts, also--I learn SOO much even without playing along. Always a treat to get these.

    • @MPfrance
      @MPfrance  2 года назад +3

      Yeah - Phil is really a great guy. We've been friends since 1967. Played on a number of each other's albums and have done a number of tours together. When I lived in Nashville our houses were 8 doors away from each other. He gifted me another great guitar (Charis SJ #50) in 2005 when we recorded our album "Two of Us." We released another duo album this year called "Adventure-us." It's available here: mikepachelli.com/cd-s

I'm glad no music theorist ever got to the Beatles and told them they couldn't cross vocal parts. I'm really looking forward to your lessons on I'll Be Back and I'm Only Sleeping but I don't think anyone would expect you to nail the backwards guitar parts.

    I have been trying to learn to play the bass and have been practicing this song recently.
    I always loved the song..
    I remember hearing it for the first time. I was lying in bed late at night and listening to my transistor radio
    At the time, the Beatles hadn't released anything in a while.
    It was such an unusual and beautiful song that wasn't sure it was really them..
    Thanks for the tutorial.
