That was terrific Thom! I always knew that there was something different about that song but never knew exactly what it was. Thanks for the lesson! RIP Don & Phil
Always loved this song as a kid. Something about the mood is happy and sad at the same time. Gonna start playing it with the "drop G" now thanks to your great video.
Outstanding! I knew something was different about the intro.. thank you so much! This lesson should be first on the search list....it's THE only accurate transcription. Cadence records wrote arranged and recorded so many Everly songs were really influential and not often mentioned
Even with your excellent demonstration it will take me a year or more to learn the correct rhythm ---and I've been plying guitar since 1965! Thanks for setting me on a new path. Never too old to learn!
it depends on which version you play, the everly brothers sometimes just played it live, without capo just with the A D and e chords. What you hear on the record you do need a capo to do the intro!
Oh man. Thanks for your enlightening video on the true sound of the Everly Brothers. I Appreciate all your efforts of teaching of this great instrument, the guitar
Fantastic video! Back then you had to be a good musician and there was no better than these guys for harmonies to musicianship, a great video and thanks for sharing:)
I listen to you quite regularly and each time I find something unique and a palpable passion for the guitar and for music in general. The example that you demonstrate on this song, demonstrates very well the subtleties that you are able to show us by your talent as a communicator as well as a musician, not to mention the sublime Taylor on which you play, bravo et continuez votre excellent travail!
Just top notch content as always. If you play a lot or a little, or knew The Everlys or of them, or even if you aren't a guitar-hack-person, the video is simply entertaining, informative and more than anything, helps to show why some of the simple sounding tunes had more ingenuity in the instrumentation than a tab or sheet music would seem to indicate.
Hi, I really enjoy your RUclips videos! I learn a tremendous amount from each one. For example, I had no idea Phil Everly’s guitar was tuned to “G”. As illustrated, this makes playing the song’s introduction a whole lot easier. While watching the clips of Phil and Don, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Paul, John, and George sitting and acoustically playing and singing “I’ve Just Seen a Face”. The Beatles, as did others, borrowed or were greatly influenced by the sound (the harmonies, using capos and playing in complimentary keys, etc) of the Everly Brothers. Your excellent video inspired this comment from me (probably to the chagrin of some). You can’t please everybody, but your outstanding videos, I’m sure, are pleasing to the vast majority! Why? You’re enthusiastic, your subject is well researched, you’re an excellent, entertaining musician, plus you’ve got a very likeable personality. A winning combination/blend in my books. Plus, you’ve got great guitars! Your Martin and Taylor acoustics sound rich and full. I have a Taylor. A Martin is on my horizon, I hope. PS I really appreciated you giving the chord diagrams for “C” and “G” in the alternate tuning for those of us who want to try Phil’s part.
Sorry to mention it, but there is a third guitar on the original. And if I am not mistaken, it's Chet Atkins, playing that sliding pentatonic lick starting on the second verse. Here's one with one Everly Brother and Chet Atkins singing the harmony and playing that lick. ruclips.net/video/aiHDdZJrM0s/видео.html
Years and years ago I used to steal into my (7 year older than me) brother's room when he left the house and I played his 1950's hits over and over. Now I'm the one playing guitar, and I'm surprised to learn Bye Bye Love is played with that dual tuning. Thank you! How about Wake Up A-Little Suzie next?
Great lesson, The Everlys often capoed up to get fuller chord voicings. Speaking of Jimi Hendrix, he has said that he learned more guitar playing in Nashville for a year after he was discharged from the Army. I hope I'm not stating the obvious when I say that his beautiful double stops were really bluegrass and country licks moved up on the neck out of first position. Thanks for singing!
You've got it wrong. Don Everly is playing in Open G tuning; that's how he gets the intro to sound so good. Phil Everly said years later that were it not for Don's intro, the song might not have been a hit. Keith Richards--who plays many of his greatest songs in Open G tuning--learned Open G from Phil Everly. There is at least one TV videotape of the Everlys in which Don plays Bye Bye Love in Open G.
The Everly Brothers would sometimes use 5 rhythm guitarist. First would be right in tune, 2nd would tune slightly sharp, 3rd would tune slightly flat. 4th would be sharper than the 2nd guy. the 5th would be slightly flatter than the 3rd. When they recorded they would play all five guitars at once.
Nope, that was written specifically for the Righteous Brothers. Phil Spector wanted Bill Medley to sing lead. Bill said that it was originally written so high he couldn't sing it, and he commented it would be a great song for the Everlys. It was then reworked for his voice.
The Magic of John Fogerty and CCR the two different tuned guitars...or the Bee Gees two different tuned guitars with the odd tuned guitar taking the power postion.
That c chord at 3:45, I immediately heard "Dream...dream, dream, dream..." If Elvis really turned this song down, he must have been dumber than I thought, because it's a classic, like most Bryant compositions.
Mich würde interessieren ob die Everly Brothers bei all ihren Songs so tricky things gemacht haben. Sie spielten ja immer mit zwei akustik Gitarren und hatten zusätzlich noch einen E-Gitarristen im Hintergrund der diese Palm Mute/Tremolo Sachen gespielt hat. All I Have To Do Is Dream zB spielen sie sehr zurückhaltend, wo man sich zeitweise fragt, spielten sie wirklich beide? Das gleiche? Der E-Gitarrist spielte dann diese Tremolo-Parts. Oder Wake Up Little Suzie". Der intro Part, wo offensichtlich andere Akkorde gespielt werden, aber der Bass spielt dort konstant "D" (also "Db", weil halben Ton runter gestimmt)
Elvis turn this down? Well… He was not the brightest tool in the shed. It’s a gorgeous song in so many ways. Remember how they used it in the movie “all that jazz“?

That was terrific Thom! I always knew that there was something different about that song but never knew exactly what it was. Thanks for the lesson! RIP Don & Phil
One of the greatest song ever,amazing riff tuning down the A string to G and capo on the second fret ,great secret.Thanks for the video.
Always loved this song as a kid.
Something about the mood is happy and sad at the same time.
Gonna start playing it with the "drop G" now thanks to your great video.
I never knew Don was doing that! Thanks so much for sharing this ☺️
Outstanding! I knew something was different about the intro.. thank you so much!

Guitar pilgrim your the fuckin’ man!!! Please keep up the great work!!! 👍👏👏😴
Have been trying to work this out for ages. Knew there had to be something a bit non-standard about it! Thanks GuitarPilgrim.
Even with your excellent demonstration it will take me a year or more to learn the correct rhythm ---and I've been plying guitar since 1965! Thanks for setting me on a new path. Never too old to learn!
Great tutorial: as any ‘simple’ song, you’ve found the nuances that make it a great tune! Thanks for sharing
So I've been playing this wrong for 50 years.
Thanks a bunch, mate.
it depends on which version you play, the everly brothers sometimes just played it live, without capo just with the A D and e chords. What you hear on the record you do need a capo to do the intro!
@@GuitarPilgrim GP, down in Cork they ain't too fussy!
@@Ystadcop haha, of course. I love Cork, was there not too long ago, great place!
It’s about time I started playing this correctly. Thanks for the breakdown of this two-part classic!
Good piece of detective work on their guitar tuning.
Great video Thom! Keith Richards has always named Don Everly as one of the greatest rhythm guitarists of all time!
I saw the Everly Brothers live twice in the 80's. Even better was that I was backstage and jamming with Albert Lee.
I love your teaching style!
You’ve really got it right here with this song absolutely brilliant well done
Oh man. Thanks for your enlightening video on the true sound of the Everly Brothers. I Appreciate all your efforts of teaching of this great instrument, the guitar
Absolutely brilliant!

It needs 50 Years play guitar, to learn the right Sound for this Song on guitar from this Video. Thank You for showing this little secret.
Thank you!
Cool. I never realized that. Thanks for enlightening me.
Went to see them back in 67/68, Eastham Grenada, Billy J Kramers and the Dakotas and Cilla Black, I was 9, lucky me
That guitar sounds so good, mate.
Yes, wonder what strings he is uses?
Great stuff, mate. Thanks! 👍🏼
Amazing break down! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wanna try this out with ma son.

Awesome! Now I need a second guitar player!
Thank you for this lesson.. and taking the time to get it right
Beautiful. Thanks man!!
Awesome!!!
Thanks Lynday, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you do much from France Thierry
Two dislikes? Probably the two Everly Brothers angry you're giving away their secrets...
It seems like there's always a jealous asshole or two trying to make themselves feel superior
If so, those dislikes hadda be coming in LONG DISTANCE!
@@lamper2 They dead....
How on earth did they think up this idea to change the A string. brilliant how you unravel what's going on explain it so well.
great lesson thank you so much
Ask Albert lee how he played it🔥🔥💥💥
Sorry to mention it, but there is a third guitar on the original. And if I am not mistaken, it's Chet Atkins, playing that sliding pentatonic lick starting on the second verse. Here's one with one Everly Brother and Chet Atkins singing the harmony and playing that lick.

Can u do the Isaiah Sharkey intro to John Mayer’s Moving On and Getting Over
thanks a lot bro for very good tutorial 👍
The lyrics are the opposite of Queen of California by John Mayer.
What was lost on me, was how close can you get to yodeling and not yodel.
Thanks Chris
At 2:48 I hear some ZZ Top!
Thx🙏
Awesome
I've heard they also TURNED DOWN You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling
Nope, that was written specifically for the Righteous Brothers. Phil Spector wanted Bill Medley to sing lead. Bill said that it was originally written so high he couldn't sing it, and he commented it would be a great song for the Everlys. It was then reworked for his voice.
I always thought of this as a Simon and Garfunkel song. Had no idea it didn’t begin on “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.
The Magic of John Fogerty and CCR the two different tuned guitars...or the Bee Gees two different tuned guitars with the odd tuned guitar taking the power postion.
Cool
That c chord at 3:45, I immediately heard "Dream...dream, dream, dream..."
If Elvis really turned this song down, he must have been dumber than I thought, because it's a classic, like most Bryant compositions.
That's really interesting. I'd learn that, but I can't sing in that key. I'd have to take it down an octave, which would be weird.

Your great man. When are you going to write and record a hit song?
Ha,ha not anytime soon, I can't write lyrics and I can't really sing. It's not in the cards:)
I used to play this and I am fairly certain that his guitar is tuned to open G.
A classic
Now I'm seeing how Lee Mavers invented The La's. Lol
Elvis turn this down? Well… He was not the brightest tool in the shed. It’s a gorgeous song in so many ways. Remember how they used it in the movie “all that jazz“?
A+++
A high-end Taylor more fitting to your talent.
Pretty sure Don is playing in Open G tuning with a capo on the second fret….
So what should the A string be stepped down to, please ?
won't play for some reason
You hv complicated a relatively straightforward song.
