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.
This song has always blown my mind. The chord choices are nothing short of inspired. An underrated Beatles work of art. John is mistaken about its quality.
To every song Mike shows the nearly original instruments. You must have lots of them. One more brilliant lesson, brings us near to join successfully next birthday celebration at Strawberry Fields.
I just had this moment of enlightment when is saw and heard the acoustic guitar part, i listened to the first few seconds of the song and instantly could hear the strumming of the guitar which i never really heard. Thanks, now i know how it is really played.
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.
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
Another one of my favorite Lennon tunes and another great lesson, thanks Mike. And your twin brothers on backup vocals perfect as usual. 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.
Fantastic! Mike! 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.
Another great job. you have an outstanding ear for picking details out. I never heard the 'mistake' until you pointed it out... too cool! Still hoping for Two of Us.
Mike… I can’t thank you enough for this lesson!!! Love your dedication, hardwork and precision on all your work! This song has been like a “holy grail” for me. Thank you once again. ❤❤❤
Stephen - thanks but I am in NO way, shape or form a "genius." I simply spend an inordinate amount of time (ask my wife) listening and researching before I even begin to construct a lesson. A "genius" would be able to do so such MUCH faster. :-)
@@MPfrance Appreciate your modesty. However, music and sounds, not to mention your ability to play the guitar, come naturally to you. You do have a special gift in this area. You work very hard and you don’t allow for distractions to make your work imperfect! This is the behavior of genius! Life’s mission, accomplished! 👏👍🤓
Always played a C#m where that G#m is. It's interesting that I never heard it this way, but you're absolutely correct. Appreciate you fixing my mistake
Always really dig how you go so much into the little grains and nuances. As a classical guitarist, I have to say I mince whenever I see a pick used on nylon strings over the beautiful finish of a classical guitar.
Maybe a felt pick could help but this song is not "classical" style playing with fingers & Lennon wasn't a traditional nylon string player, there are plenty who use a pick, some type of pick is needed to get the correct strumming pattern & sound !
I always assumed it was some of George Martin's studio magic. No idea it was a simple volume pedal and harmonics. I'm glad I lived long enough to find out. I feel such a fool.
@@MPfrance So much has been said and written about The Beatles. I think John would be astounded, but proud, that their work is still revered and being discovered by new generations of kids
A fave by the Fabs, as good as any Jimmy Webb or Bachrach song. I cover it, and worked the three part melody sticking pretty close to their harmonization. An instrumental cover was also done by Johnny A. Thanks for this in depth exam!
John - thanks. But it's really just a matter of listening to a song on a myriad of speakers and headphones using lots of different EQ settings. Then things pop out to ya clearly.
Your analysis and ear are amazing, thanks for all the work you put into these videos. You asked for a suggestion in your email...I couldn't find on your sites "Bad Boy." Do think you could do a lesson on that cool song?
Great lesson as always, Mike, I know I’m always suggesting lessons for songs like Hey Bulldog, Free As A Bird and Real Love but another one that could be really cool to learn would be I’m Only Sleeping because of that insane backwards solo George does, definitely one of his best
Mike should wear shirts that say Paul, George, Ringo and John when he sings the soundalike. Or maybe deepfake the lads faces over his… but that’d be loads of editing for him… he does more than enough already! Thanks Mike!

THANK YOU, MIKE PACHELLI!
These are exactly my thoughts...thanks for amplifying them!
Absolutely Brilliant, my oh my did 'nt they make some magical songs.
A criminally under-rated song. Thank you.
If you want breakdown of Beatles songs this man is the bestest. Thanks for all you do Mike.
One of the best melodies for The Beatles, it has unique and dreamy melody and harmonies.
Great as always Mike

Yeh Man, Good Stuff - Nice Tune...
Fantastic Mike, you are a gifted man and have a true exuberance for the work. Just fabulous!
Wow, thank you!
Outstanding performance, Mike. This song is one of the toughest to sing and play and you did it spot on. 👋👋👋👍

All the puzzle pieces there now for us! Thanks Mike

Thanks, Mike Merci !!! Again you have saved me tonnes of work. I've been planning to tackle this one for a while. Great stuff !!!
Really good. You nailed John’s crescendo.
Thanks Ethan!
Always enjoy your videos. I have learned much from them.
Just brilliant!
Another great song and demonstration breakdown! Greetings from Hollywood California my friend!
Amazing detail as always. Just brilliant
Thank you! Cheers!
Mike you read my mind!! Your such a good guitar player keep going
Harmonies are top notch Mike! Loved it ! You are the 6th Beatle! Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya!
Michael, You nailed those harmonies. Exceptional.
Richard - Thanks for noticing - I worked my butt off to get them sorta close.
@@MPfrance Dude, all good on your vocals, every one you've done is perfect. You're better than a Beatles tribute band.👏👏👏
Your best play through in my opinion. Love these vids.
Glad you like them!
Yeah! We've enjoyed a lot. Keep rockin' Mike!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you Mike, what an amazing lesson! I've heard people say that the Beatles music is very simple "I don't think so" keep it up your very inspiring!
Your lessons are so well made, such an inspiration!
Awesome performance Mike! Thanks for the lesson.
My pleasure!
What can I say ... perfection as always.
Always love your lessons. Great backstory as always. Headed over to snag the tabs
Awesome! Thank you!
I have to say that is a fantastic sound alike Mike - superb! Thank you as usual and I’ll be downloading that one for sure
Very Cool Mike, As Always, You Nail It! 'If I Fell' Is Another Great Harmony Song I Love! Keep Up The Good Work!✌🤓🤙❤🎸
Always played a C#m where that G#m is. It's interesting that I never heard it this way, but you're absolutely correct. Appreciate you fixing my mistake
Wow 😲... Amazing, you nailed it mike i love it..😍😍😍
Thank you very much!
Always fascinating ! 🎸🎧
Wonderfull as always

Thanks Mike. I always wanted to learn this song.
Beautiful job
Loved it!
What a soundalike! You're on fire!
Beautiful.....
Great Mike!
Ingenious volume pedal !
Rich - Yeah - George was incredible!
I always assumed it was some of George Martin's studio magic. No idea it was a simple volume pedal and harmonics. I'm glad I lived long enough to find out. I feel such a fool.
Brilliant!! This is genius!!
I love he stays loyal to the early beatles tunes
always great content
So great!
Rock On Mike
Thank you sir!
Very cool!
Just Wow...😯👍👍👏👏
Great job as always Mike! They weren’t a bad little band were they?
Keith - Thanks and yeah - they had SO many good songs it's astounding!
@@MPfrance So much has been said and written about The Beatles. I think John would be astounded, but proud, that their work is still revered and being discovered by new generations of kids
Good Job ❤
Cool, thanks
A very lovely sound alike.
Nowhere man also had three-part J/P/G harmonies on the verses (as you well know, coz you've done an excellent vid on it). Great vid here too.
One of John's greatest, imo.
very good too
This has steadily been a Beatles' favorite for me from the first time I heard it, an accidental flip from the TICKET single.
thanks
A fave by the Fabs, as good as any Jimmy Webb or Bachrach song. I cover it, and worked the three part melody sticking pretty close to their harmonization. An instrumental cover was also done by Johnny A. Thanks for this in depth exam!
Brillant!!! Supersonic ear too to pick out all those parts, and the mistake.
John - thanks. But it's really just a matter of listening to a song on a myriad of speakers and headphones using lots of different EQ settings. Then things pop out to ya clearly.
Your analysis and ear are amazing, thanks for all the work you put into these videos. You asked for a suggestion in your email...I couldn't find on your sites "Bad Boy." Do think you could do a lesson on that cool song?
Genius!
Good analysis of a beautiful song - I much preferred this to Ticket to Ride 🙂
The true fifth Beatle is back again. Mike, you should go on tour with a back up band and you would sell out. Much love from the Northeast of the USA.
Jeff - Thanks but my touring days are long gone. I turned down yet another tour this year with a very famous French singer. I like being home...
@@MPfrance I understand. I'm the same with staying home with I can.
Sensacional
Great lesson as always, Mike, I know I’m always suggesting lessons for songs like Hey Bulldog, Free As A Bird and Real Love but another one that could be really cool to learn would be I’m Only Sleeping because of that insane backwards solo George does, definitely one of his best
And we all know Phil K. is the King of volume mastery.....on his guitar!
Mike should wear shirts that say Paul, George, Ringo and John when he sings the soundalike. Or maybe deepfake the lads faces over his… but that’d be loads of editing for him… he does more than enough already! Thanks Mike!
