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!
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!
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 👍🏻
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
@@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.
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 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.
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
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!
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)
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.
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 !!!! 🎸
Question: Did you file the bottom of the bowtie "rocker" bridge? Mine won't sit up straight...it either goes toward the tailpiece or the neck. I'm told some file the bottom. Not sure if I should do that. Does it matter? Is it supposed to move?
Probably was a Leslie rotating speaker. The speaker rotated to the beat of playing like in the Hammond Organ. George introduced it for his guitar around the time of the Get Back project. But I think it was used on vocals clear back to Sgt. Pepper. Also, they invented a technique called Artificial Double-Tracking for John Lennon to not need to double-track himself in the studio. It basically recorded him twice a few milliseconds apart onto the same tape generating the same effect as if he'd sung twice. We would do that all digitally now but in the 1960s this was breakthrough tech and actually created/invented by engineers of EMI for John Lennon.
@@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony Well all of George's parts. It sounds more like an acoustic especially when he plays chords. Just my opinion. No one seems to agree with me.
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. 😊
THATS WHY JOHN LENNON WAS FAMOUS AS A BEATLE. JOHN HAD A NATURAL ABILITY TO FOR THIS AND HE WOULD SKIP LITTLE MEASURES LIKE ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE AND IM ONLY SLEEPING. ONLY JOHN CAN OWN THIS.

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.

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.

In which part of the song do you mean? Anyway in the verses is the Rick 425 and the M8s is The Gretsch Country Gentleman
@@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony Well all of George's parts. It sounds more like an acoustic especially when he plays chords. Just my opinion. No one seems to agree with me.

Maybe the organ was actually the friends we made along the way ❤️
The bridge chords are the exact same as the bridge in 'Lady Madonna'.
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. 😊
Good job mate 😊
THATS WHY JOHN LENNON WAS FAMOUS AS A BEATLE. JOHN HAD A NATURAL ABILITY TO FOR THIS AND HE WOULD SKIP LITTLE MEASURES LIKE ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE AND IM ONLY SLEEPING. ONLY JOHN CAN OWN THIS.
