Years ago I used 9/42 strings on my 325 Rickenbacker and they did not work well. The string gauge is too thin for a 5/8 neck short neck, the strings were too floppy ( because of the short neck, not the same as a Tele, Strat or Les Paul, on a 5/8 size neck the strings WILL be floppy), and intonation was almost impossible. Rickenbacker manufacturers and recommends a specific gauge of string which something like 12/54 ( I’m going off memory here, you can verify the proper gauge at their website). I switched to these and voila! Problem fixed. To make it easy I just buy my strings directly from Rickenbacker however since the Beatles did use Pyramid flat wounds I advise buying them in the heavier gauge recommended by Rickenbacker. It will save you a lot of headaches. Peace
Not only a rythm guitarist ! don't forget his amazing solo in Abbey road and Let It Be, I mean for exemple "oh Darling/I want you so bad" or in "Get Back"
Wow! Always thought this was the core of the Beatles sound. John’s rhythm guitar. Never knew there was an organ played with it. Well done. John was a very underrated guitarist and just a genius because he created the Beatles distinct sound. I Want to Hold Your Hand had a sound like no other and it was John’s Rickenbacker guitar. This song launched them to superstardom.
No, 'She Loves You' launched them to superstardom (with a little help from 'Love Me Do', 'Please Please Me', and 'From Me To You': 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' being the first major hit in the U.S. does not mark the beginning of The Beatles' superstardom - Beatlemania had hit the U.K., Europe and Canada in 1962 - 1963. There has always been an unfortunate mixture of ethnocentrism and introversion in the U.S. which manifests itself as an attitude of 'If it has not happened here, it has not happened anywhere'. Naming the baseball championship 'The World Series', when it was not played anywhere else in the World for so many years, is another example of that ethnocentrism.
@@drutgat2 Until the Beatles conquered America they weren’t world wide successes. They solidified that 2/9/64 on the Ed Sullivan show. The song that hooked America was I Want to Hold Your Hand. America had the money and the media coverage.
This is the Holy Grail! I was a teenager in the 1960's in America when this came out. I've played guitar for over fifty years now and think I can finally do it justice after watching this video. Many many thanks. Got my guitar in my lap -- ready to wail. John Lennon forever!
Galeazzo Me and my brother have always been intrigued by the sound of John’s guitar in this song. We hear it and to this day we say ‘what is that sound?’ Great job!
First Beatles song I heard & fell in love with - in real time. Was always fascinated with John’s rhythm sound, & thanks to you, I have a much deeper understanding & appreciation why. Phenomenal tutorial my friend 👍🏻
For those who are intrigued by the organ, I started listening to different versions and the one I found most audible is from Past Masters, especially in the middle eight. 🙂
You can clearly hear the organ in the last beat before the first M8 where John's stops strumming on the previous last beat and the organ plays the last beat alone. It’s the only chord played by the organ not doubled by John's guitar. The organ is anyway audible in a lot of parts of the song especially in the B7s and on the fisrt G on the first M8.
Absolutely admire your dedication to Beatles music. I have been a fan since 1964 and have finally acquired a Rickenbacker 325 like John’s. Your lessons on playing and singing Beatle’s songs are very educational and have helped me fine tune my playing of what I think is the best music every written. Thank you.
You've got it, absolutely! Thank you for appreciating what these boys did and HOW they did it. I'm from Eastern Kentucky, you're from Italy, just confirmation of what a universal effect these guys from Liverpool had on us.
I love how precise you get, It really helps people learn how to play, how John played. When I learned I didn't go into too much detail on memorizing the sloppiness I just tried to be sloppy like him LOL.
I've been playing guitar since I was in grammar school and I am now 68 years old. I still noodle the same licks I did back then and if you were to analyze those licks the same way you've analyze John's playing, you would be there for hours and call me a genius. It doesn't mean that I'm a genius but everybody has their own thing.. John was a genius in many ways and his playing was incidental and unique to him.
This is amazing thank you !! Coincidentally, the song was written on piano as per Perter Asher and he was the first person to hear the finished product. I always thought John’s guitar playing on this to me, sounded like he was emulating a piano. So so cool!!
Es Increíble tu dedicación y trabajo. Felicitaciones. La forma de tocar tan particular de The Beatles es lo que los distingue. Ese sonido tan característico es por la técnica, independientemente del acorde, las cuerdas o la marca y tipo de guitarra. Y John fue el guitarrista rítmico más grande del rock.
Mr. Fruda, It's good to see you came out with a new video! You're very well respected among guitarists in the United States for your videos on Stratocaster setups. Glad to see you are back!
FANTASTIC! I would also love a video on how you get the separation of the instruments and vocals that you get, it is so detailed! That must be a fascinating process in and of itself. Love your work!
I appreciate that your main goal is to teach, and you do it very well, but I love playing lessons as background music. It's a fun way to listen in more detail to my favorite songs.
This Song Really Grabbed Me, When I First Saw The Beatles On The Ed Sullivan Show. It was around 1964 and I was 8 years old. I started learning the guitar when I was 6 Years Old. Another Kid that was learning at the same music school and same time as me, was Brad Gillis. (See Ozzy Osbourne & Night Ranger)
@@auramac Don‘t confuse composition or playing performance with sound. It‘s literally not possible to achieve a worse guitar sound. Buy a 50€ guitar, put the rustiest old strings on it, turn the tone all the way down and record it without amp sim straight line in into the lap top. Still sounds better than John‘s guitar on I want to hold your hand.
If you find a n audio of Track 1 rhythm you can clearly hear the organ in the last beat before the first M8 where John's stops strumming on the previous last beat and the organ plays the last beat alone. It’s the only chord played by the organ not doubled by John's guitar. The organ is anyway audible in a lot of parts of the song especially in the B7s and on the fisrt G on the first M8.
Very good as always, would’ve been helpful if you would’ve counted in some of the parts because many of the parts start on the upbeat and it gets a little hard to follow thank you
Fantastic, Bravo, GF. I always felt there was something else in “I Want to Hold Your Hand “ but could never hear it! You found the stealth organ. I am thunderstruck! Be well, maestro and let's do a lesson soon!
Grazie! Sono molto contento delle lezioni di chitarra, le aspettavo davvero con ansia. Dio, vorrei che ci suonassi ogni canzone dei Beatles! Pensa ai chitarristi principianti, sarebbe bello avere una sorta di aiuto visivo che elenchi quali accordi e archi puoi suonare esattamente! Continuate così! Sto aspettando i miei preferiti: If I fell, Nowhere man, Babys in black, I feel fine, This boy e il resto!
Amazing!! Btw, unrelated to this music, but why do you think John said Ticket to Ride was the first heavy metal song recorded? Sarcasm or perhaps the heavy drums on the recording?
I had it so close. As a kid I had a mono record player but nearly all my Beatles albums were Capitol stereo which of course in those days with Capitol that meant vocals, bass, and drums were in one channel and everything else in the other. So with my mono record player I could hear John's rhythm quite clearly and not buried in the mix. This was particularly true with the '64-'66 albums. So my memory of all those separate parts is still quite clear even when I play the properly mixed albums today. But even with all that I still can't play all his parts correctly. (I play guitar) I wish I could play like he did. Maybe if I had started out on the banjo. 😊
I wish you could share your guitar tone and amp settings. I have a 325c64 and Vox ac15 but cant get it to sound like yours. Close but not quite. Is your tone on the bridge pickup rolled all the way back? When I emulate it, it sounds way too dark. Love the vids though. Keep em comin😊
i looked up if there is any quote about the organ you told about, but could nowhere find informations about it... What are your sources for this claim?
Thanks for the excellent video explanation. One question: isn't there an unusual half-beat or so the intro? I've always found it difficult to count down the number of precise beats before the singing begins.
@@galeazzofrudua2512 While I'm on the topic of unusual timing in intros to Beatles songs, I think the intro to Baby You Can Drive My Car is also a bit tricky to get right. Am i correct that it also has kind of a half-beat thrown in?
YES! I’m so happy that somebody else noticed this as well. I have listened to the tracks isolated/together VERY slowly, and I have concluded that it is a matter of some rather sloppy playing i.e.they’re not playing perfectly together. Also to gilassp’s statement above, I believe that everyone BUT John is treating the very first chord as an upbeat. John is playing the first chord as an accented downbeat. There is an outtake of the first take that I have discovered this. So in essence, John is playing with a different accent pattern than everyone else is in the intro. By the time John starts singing the word “I” corresponding with the G chord, that is when the entire band is in sync on the same pulse.
That's a great video! I really like these detailed explanations because they really matter when you play it. It makes songs distinct between each other. Also would be great if you could break up Hold Me Tight. It's a unique song with a unique sound and a unique arrangement. Also the guitars and bass parts are like no other Beatles song.
Outstanding video Galeazzo ... and the guitar tone was spot one. Could you kindly tell us the amp settings? Oh... and more thing Galeazzo... I've noticed that every Beatles cover band fails to sing "She Loves You" like the recording. Especially the harmonized part in the lyric that goes "and you know that can't be BAAAD." Everyone fails miserably when it comes to singing that part correctly. Could you please do a video explaining why cover bands fail to properly sing this song? Thanks in advance!
After all the anthology, live videos and now the tens of hours of rehearsals on Get Back people still think there is _” a way “_ to play any Beatles song. The songs were played many ways and never written as exact parts. It was makes their records so fresh and powerful and a big reason McCartney’s dictation of how songs went didn’t go down well.
Oh, great. NOW you show me. Where were you 59 years ago when I'm bleeding my 12 year old fingers on a Silvertone acoustic alleged guitar?? Man, kids today have it MADE with geniuses like you showing the way. On behalf of learners today - thank-you and they don't know how lucky they are. At least I was forced to develop an EAR to mimic everything and later could associate chords to the changes and sounds so basically maybe took the long road - making vinyl go back n forth ruining needles and motors but hey...had to do what you had to do - slow down tapes to 1-7/8s IPS.... whatever! But I can hear anything today and instinctively know how to play it w/o tab or sheet music, there are no mysteries. But, I'm older than Methuselah so there ya go. Loved the Fabs, used to work @ Capitol; still multi track every day all instruments thanks to the Boys. Great Job Sensei !!!! 🎸
Ciao Galeazzo! Bel video proprio!! Since you mentioned the organ, I always wondered if on later songs such as She Said She Said or and Your Bird Can Sing, that organ-like sound is achieved layering an organ part on the guitar, or if also compression and saturation in the studio helped. The rhythmic guitars in those songs are so unique!
@@galeazzofrudua2512 yes,guitar sounds in Revolver are truly magical!I think they’re quite unique for the texture,so modern as the whole album is. Maybe it’s not my favourite album (my favourite being Abbey Road) but I would say Revolver probably is the most representative album of what the Beatles were…
I think it’s the part that runs up chromatically up to the E from the D . Which I thought was originally the bass but you can hear the bass clearly doing it’s own thing in the right channel.

John was one of the all time greatest rhythm guitarist in rock music history. This breakdown is incredible
You bet :) only a few can reproduce what he played correctly.
Correct. The greatest
Totally agree. He was.
We all know how much say, Ringo has been underrated. NO rhythm guitarist more so than John.

Galeazzo Me and my brother have always been intrigued by the sound of John’s guitar in this song. We hear it and to this day we say ‘what is that sound?’ Great job!
John had a depth, intensity, beauty, magnificence so, so rare you can't even believe he existed but he did ...

Hearing those opening chords for the first time as a 14-year old, I thought music had just been invented.
This song is so easy to play but to play like it is, not easy at all. How did John pull this off and sing comfortably? mind blowing.
For those who are intrigued by the organ, I started listening to different versions and the one I found most audible is from Past Masters, especially in the middle eight. 🙂

As usual, like you said, The Beatles’ parts are much more intricate and specific than people assume. Great stuff
Try playing..Happy just to Dance with you. The rhythm still gives me trouble
I really didn't understand how nuanced John's rhythm playing is. He really had a knack for interesting and clever parts....
Galeazzo sei un mito! Grande!!

Yes

Thanks for the excellent video explanation. One question: isn't there an unusual half-beat or so the intro? I've always found it difficult to count down the number of precise beats before the singing begins.
The song/instrumentation begins on the count of "and" between beats 3 and 4 in the first bar. So yeah, it is sort of shifted half a beat.
Yes it's a bit strange but nothing you can't handle with a simple 1,2,3.

Ciao Galeazzo! Bel video proprio!! Since you mentioned the organ, I always wondered if on later songs such as She Said She Said or and Your Bird Can Sing, that organ-like sound is achieved layering an organ part on the guitar, or if also compression and saturation in the studio helped. The rhythmic guitars in those songs are so unique!
That was compression, miking, amps and saturation (no organ), Revolver contains some of the best guitar sounds ever.

And here comes the "there's an organ on I Want To Hold Your Hand" myth again. 🤦 There is none. As proved by the session's multitrack tape.
Agreed
I think it’s the part that runs up chromatically up to the E from the D . Which I thought was originally the bass but you can hear the bass clearly doing it’s own thing in the right channel.
@@MrBLACKBIRD1970 That fill is a guitar overdub.
I've heard that the John's guitar was hardly compressed by George Martin in the mixing.
There is NO organ !!!!!
Thank you for demolishing the myth about that stupid slide. Great video. I’m skeptical about the organ…
Is there a video showing organ part on this opus ? Didn't see one on RUclips ?
It's coming :)
Nice Shirt Galeazzo!
This is beyond imagination!
