    John was very fond of the A chord with a D added…..he also uses it in I’ve Got A Feeling…..he even says in the documentary “I’m always using this riff lately.”

    Even though we had the album back in 1970, I had forgotten about this song until the Get Back doc. I was surprised how good it is, & how much it grooves. Great song...great choice Mike!

    Amazing how George was able to play those clever and articulate licks in his solo, with his hands basically freezing!!! Shows you that when the money is on the line, George delivers as well as do the other of course!! God Bless thanks for this video!! I'm a pianist and now how hard it is to play with hands cold, and guitar it has to be the same!!

    Great job on this one Mike. I love these Lennon Guitar riff style songs the most of all Beatles recordings. This was one of the last he wrote before the breakup in that style. You do a great job in recreating it. I actually haven't tried to play this one in years .However today I will . Thanks again. Id like to request a lesson on " I call your Name " . Great Harrison 12 string on that one. I couldn't find a version by you . Thanks again Mike

    Coolest song on the roof.
    Any other band-with #1 hit songs, as well as the freaking White Album released just a few months before-would’ve simply performed those hit songs they had just done. But not the Beatles…instead they gathered Jan 2 and created all new music, under pressure, toward an as yet unsettled performance! And Why? Because they were ARTISTS and not just pop/rock musicians.

  • @IDigAPony
    @IDigAPony Год назад +2

    Awesome (as always!) As you can tell this is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I had heard that one of the reasons that John wouldn't "own" some of the words had to do with the line "I roll a stoney" referring not so subtly to The Rolling Stones. The line that follows - "You can imitate anyone you know..." Of course we know that John, when he was feeling mean, said in an interview that the Stones copied everything The Beatles ever did. As the bands were actually friends, putting this down in a song can end up being a bit awkward when next you see Mick, or Keef, (AWESOME AUTOBIO btw!) Charlie or Bill. For this reason he distanced himself from the lyrics. Privately? I've got to believe, after all the work they put into it, he was damn proud of it. - Maybe he was just sick of it... LOL! In any case I love this song and I always will, and you did an AMAZING job on it. - Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your fam! [OH! One more thing!! I work around the corner from The Dakota (at abc tv on 66th street) and I pass it on occasion when I drive to work. as a way of thanking you for all the work you put into these vids, I did a shout for you - "Mike Pachelli sends hi love and says hi!" Knew you wouldn't mind.]

      John - Thanks! That's very kind of you to say. And yeah - recording equipment has come a long way since 1969 so it's possible to get any sort of sound one would like. I chose not to tea towel the snare and floor tom 'cuz I wanted the drums to ring out more to add to the raucousness of the performance.

    Great lesson Mike. What strikes me about this song ( and Yer Blues, and She's so heavy) is Lennon is trying to sound contemporary with Clapton and Hendrix. This is a long way from If I fell or I should have known better. I got burnt out from Sgt. Pepper on, and I enjoy analyzing the early stuff, as I suspect you do since you are just now getting to Get Back

Also makes my '94 Matchless Tornado sound better at 115 volts, even though it says 120 volts on the back of it..... less harsh sounding with single coils to my ear at 115 volts....... Bought the Matchless at Thorougbred Music back in '94... always thought it sounded a little harsh ( my word... ha ha) with single coils, but now have the answer...... what will they think of next for us guitar players to buy.... ha ha But I really see how this thing helps no joke......
