So soon to do it but so amazing. That ending song by the Beatles was a perfect way to end with. I will always love their music and generations to come will too
This is absolutely phenomenal. You nailed George's lead part, and can even hear it slightly better in your version. Paul's bass in this track is very fun and I love Ringo's classic Beatles drum fills. Probably your most spot on cover to date.
Yes you sure nailed Georges guitar so well. I get so emotional every time i hear his guitar and hear johns voice. I miss those too guys as they should both be here.
Your talent is breathtaking. You illustrate here for all to see how absolutely “celestial” this song is. It is in my opinion “Mind Games 2.0” and you do it incredible justice. Bravo.
Is it the real thing? I'm impressed by the highest quality instrumental. I'm happy to announce that it was used in the RUclips "resifa" cover. I'm truly grateful. ^_−☆
Yeah I had the same revelation when hearing McCartney’s bass line the first time. It just blew me away, no one has the same feel for just the right parts as he does. Just brilliant.
I would say this is perfect. An amazing amount of work, but you know you have many fans who will get much enjoyment from watching and listening. Kudos to Sam for his excellent work also.
I was just watching this and as the guitar solo came up thought "Sam Popkin got it perfect I wonder how...oh he's got Sam in". Just brilliant stuff (as ever).
Beautiful! Bravo! I’ve already memorized all the words to the song, and I was singing along as you were playing the instrumental. Thank you so very much for your contribution. I loved it! ❤
This is incredible, sounds almost exact to the song itself! Clearly a labour of love, I'm always happy to see you upload something new. Great slide editions from Sam!
This is amazing, Michael!! RUclips suddenly popped up on my notifications, lol. This is heavenly, marvelous, and breathtaking even. I missed watching your recreations :)) I never get tired of hearing this song in general, haha. P.S.: I hope life's been treating you well. Great job as usual!! Take care :) ❤
Amazing work as always 🙏 I've never gotten the opportunity to comment, but I've been a fan ever since I saw your how to play like John/George lessons many years ago Also at 3:04 I think there are backing vocals here too in the original track. I think it's from Here There And Everywhere but I'm not sure
George built a wall of sound on this such as life Itself. Its tough to have every instrument communicate with the next in such a way. Without question a terrific cover!!!!!!
Incredible as always, Mike. Near perfection. The only thing I wish was different was the ride cymbal volume, I would have increased it a bit to sound more like Ringo sounds on the record. Just a tiny detail anyway
I have no words, perfect. By the way, I have not told anyone yet about this and still no one on the internet said anything about it, but I suspect the 1994-1995 attempt of the song was with John's voice also speeded up (like real love) because in those years, that was the only way to speed up a song, so I belive George's original guitar, and everything else was not in A minor but in A sharp. You can actually see this note a lot in the music video.
It's been over a month since this cover came out, and I still can't believe that it sounds better than the original song. I absolutely love the Beatles, but boy could the song have been mixed way better than it was. Maybe you should teach Giles a thing or two about producing hahaha
Hey Mike, I’m having a tackle at this myself. I’m using your bass video as a helpful guide :) I couldn’t ever get as close as you but it’s definitely worth a try! Thanks for bringing joy to us Beatles fans, happy new year!
You and Sam are truly incredible! If I'm so bold to say, I liked your mix better than the original due to the high compression the original has. Yours was a lot cleaner and relaxing to listen to. Amazing cover as always! Thank you so much for the work you put in!
Holy.. buffalo ballsacks. This almost sounds exact, this is phenomenal. Bravo, you two! Bravissimo! P.S: hopefully youtube doesnt pull the copyright trigger on you lol
I wonder how you recreate the spirit. This is much more than instrumental recreation!
so happy to understand what georges lead was now
@@Redhotshawntexas George played acoustic and the funky lead guitar parts (the slide guitar was indeed Paul's)
Sucks that his guitar parts were so BURIED in the mix. This cover was way more balanced compared to the final mix
@@KimberleeT25Yeah the mixing was definitely subpar, especially for a band that prides itself on sounding great.
@@Apo458Who played the rythm electric guitar parts?
@@El-D-Babo George, that's him, along with playing acoustic rhythm in unison with Paul.
The greatest Beatles cover ever made! 😊
Teamwork makes the dream work! Amazing playing, as always!
@@MichaelSokilGreat job guys!
Definitely!!!!!
This is identical to the actual song, i love this
What a sterling performance.
That guitar solo à la George, (credited to Paul), was remarkably spot on.

@@sallykohorst8803The lead was played by Paul in George's style. George's contribution to this song is minimal.
@@detpakwell on the solo yeah, but probably george on the strat parts
Outstanding! That was a pleasure to watch. This song gets better with each listen.
Go Mike! You knew he’d do it…and he’d nail it! Plus a Sam Popkin cameo! Good show, all around, splendid!
Your talent is breathtaking. You illustrate here for all to see how absolutely “celestial” this song is. It is in my opinion “Mind Games 2.0” and you do it incredible justice. Bravo.
AHHHHH!! (Harmony vocals during the end of the solo, sampled from Because)
Oh my god😮 this sounds EXACTLY like the released version! May god bless your soul ✌️♥️✌️♥️
Is it the real thing? I'm impressed by the highest quality instrumental. I'm happy to announce that it was used in the RUclips "resifa" cover. I'm truly grateful. ^_−☆
I'm thankful for the Beatles this year, and also Michael and Sam
Absolutely phenomenal!
Yeah I had the same revelation when hearing McCartney’s bass line the first time. It just blew me away, no one has the same feel for just the right parts as he does. Just brilliant.
I would say this is perfect. An amazing amount of work, but you know you have many fans who will get much enjoyment from watching and listening. Kudos to Sam for his excellent work also.
So nice to see the old Hofner bass on this track. Nice work 😊
Thank you. 💙💙💙
I was just watching this and as the guitar solo came up thought "Sam Popkin got it perfect I wonder how...oh he's got Sam in". Just brilliant stuff (as ever).
HA! Yes, I begged Sam to feature on my cover. His slide tone here was just phenomenal.
Wow, what a super job. The Beatles need to go back and remix the track like this.
Greatness, that's everything we can expect from you. Your quality is unmatchable.
SUPERB 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I’ve been waiting for this since its release.
Absolutely fantastic ! Really got all the details and the feel too! Sam nailed it too! Awesome as usual!
Haters will say it is the original audio. Extremely well made, Michael!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Well done Michael……again!!!
This is outstanding! The addition of the isolated backing vocals is such a cool touch
Oh my god this is a huge step up from that rough edit you showed me. You and Sam did it way better than me! Cheers
You and Sam are true genius. Well done 👏
I have been waiting for your cover , Michael ❤
Thank U so much,I just receive Ur marvellous playing 25 minutes as it editted on RUclips 👏🎹🎸👍👌
You and Sam have done it AGAIN! Y'all really captured the essence here.
Simply beautiful recreation. Love it.
I felt it was played with a greater sense of purpose. 🙏❤👍🏻
Beautiful! Bravo! I’ve already memorized all the words to the song, and I was singing along as you were playing the instrumental. Thank you so very much for your contribution. I loved it! ❤

Ваше исполнение этой потрясающей песни величайшей группы в мире - это ШЕДЕВР!! Браво!! Спасибо огромное!
Amazing work as always 🙏 I've never gotten the opportunity to comment, but I've been a fan ever since I saw your how to play like John/George lessons many years ago
Also at 3:04 I think there are backing vocals here too in the original track. I think it's from Here There And Everywhere but I'm not sure
👏👏👏👏👏✌️ Exellent job👍 Compliments to both of you ✌️
George built a wall of sound on this such as life Itself. Its tough to have every instrument communicate with the next in such a way. Without question a terrific cover!!!!!!
What a fantastic cover have a good weekend ❤😊
It's impossible how accurately you do it.
Great! One more! It's a magic. Masterpiece of The Beatles. I Love this one.
Bravo! Your talents are endless and totally amaze me. So well done!
Brilliant, thank you !
I love it! I love all your music! Awesome job Greetings from mexico
Thank You🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! You nailed it. Nicely done! :)
Sound great man! Keep the covers coming!! 🎸
Incredible as always, Mike. Near perfection. The only thing I wish was different was the ride cymbal volume, I would have increased it a bit to sound more like Ringo sounds on the record. Just a tiny detail anyway
Wow!!! Fantastic, it´s amazing.
bravo super reprise très bon musicien merci
Beautiful. ❤
Great, Michael!😊
Amazing! Great job Micheal and Sam ☮❤
Great one as usual. I hoped you would do this. Very skillfull. It is a great BEATLES track and i agree paul did a great job on bass, piano and slide.
Exquisite work.
Thank you! Great job!
Bravo, Michael! Love it!
That was EXCELLENT!
Good evening
It was a very high quality “Now and then”✨
I enjoyed the video♪👍
An epic cover Mike. Wonderful to see and understand more clearly the role of the different instruments. This must have been very special for you.
Yes it was!
Somehow Michael's camera work is just as good as his instrument playing
Beautifully done! Love it😊👏👏❤️👍🏻
This is so much better in 4k!
Amazing Job - Loved this!
i love this !!!!
I have no words, perfect. By the way, I have not told anyone yet about this and still no one on the internet said anything about it, but I suspect the 1994-1995 attempt of the song was with John's voice also speeded up (like real love) because in those years, that was the only way to speed up a song, so I belive George's original guitar, and everything else was not in A minor but in A sharp. You can actually see this note a lot in the music video.
Not so sure, because the song is in the same key as the original demo, and Free As a Bird was also kept in its original key
Oh My .......God
❤
You are so awesome and it is so good
That bass!!!! Sound amazing!!
It's been over a month since this cover came out, and I still can't believe that it sounds better than the original song. I absolutely love the Beatles, but boy could the song have been mixed way better than it was. Maybe you should teach Giles a thing or two about producing hahaha
Muy hermoso trabajo!!

Very well done. God bless The Beatles.
This is epic! Thank you!!
Love it!!!!💙💙💙
Great!!
Absolutely breathtaking
Awesome.
Gave me goosebumps when you got to the solo.
You and Sam are truly incredible! If I'm so bold to say, I liked your mix better than the original due to the high compression the original has. Yours was a lot cleaner and relaxing to listen to. Amazing cover as always! Thank you so much for the work you put in!
Stunning performance! Keep up the good work!
beautiful
Excellent.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Always perfect!
Great to see my mediocre cover released a couple days ago inspired you to create this masterpiece! 😂
Well done!
Holy.. buffalo ballsacks. This almost sounds exact, this is phenomenal. Bravo, you two! Bravissimo!
P.S: hopefully youtube doesnt pull the copyright trigger on you lol
Nicely done. Thank you for this.
YES ITS HAPPENING
Very, very good!
Great job!
"Oh now and then I want you to be there for me"
absolutely amazing!
