@@M4TT4TT4CK it was interesting to see it in the context of a lead part, even if it was under forced circumstances with George quitting! I don’t know how much it’s been talked about, but I’m pretty sure John mostly stuck to rhythm out of a lack of confidence in being able to play lead.
John’s rhythm playing is part of the key to his solo playing, his sense of timing and rhythm was unique even when soloing. His last solo bit in “The End” is another great example of using his aggressive rhythm style while soloing
"Get Back" is my favorite Beatles song and John Lennon's solo is my #1 favorite guitar solo. You don't often hear John play lead and I love the simplicity and energy he puts into it. He also sounds like he's a lot of having fun playing this song. Great lesson. I've always wanted to learn how he played it and how to play it. Thank you for this.
The detail you put into this lesson is remarkable! Favourite Beatles song? Really? I remember laughing my head off when somebody asked me that question 50+ years ago. But, just for you, I'll pick one. I absolutely love Abbey Road's side-two medley - from 'Sun King' to 'The End' (with or without 'Her Majesty'). I've always listened to the entire medley, rather than picking out any one snippet of it. But, as said, just for you I will pick 'The End' as my all-time favourite piece of Beatles music. That's because this the one and only Beatles song (as far as I know) where Harrison, Lennon, and McCartney all play lead guitar lines. It's just so unique for that reason. And each of the three of them does a really good job of it. By the way, "Her Majesty's 'a pretty nice girl", and so too are you, Ayla. Thanks for all you do!
I almost forgot. tho R&R and Blues is my thing, 'Penny Lane' is lb. for lb. my favorite BEATLES song .then it's right back to 'Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey'.
Always loved the Beatles.. my mother was almost a hippie so as I was growing up the Beatles was always a staple song inside out home. To the point that I picked up the guitar and started to teach myself to play and I learned to play Beatle songs. Very detailed way of explaining the chords and progression of the song.
I love this girl I saw her for the first time on tiktok like a year ago replaying a Dan electro or something now she’s making visits for Guitareo what a career jump!
Here is something that people always suspected, but the Documentary shows it very briefly. And that is, John is playing on a rare occasions a six string Fender Bass. And it is suspected he is also playing Bass with that Gender on George Harrison's song While My Guitar Gently Weeps. But what I found interesting after all these years is this. The time the Documentary is being filmed, roughly six weeks, The Beatles write two complete albums. Simply amazing.
Unless anyone was under a rock they all should know who you are. I watched you mature from a young kid guitar player to now a professional guitarist sharing your knowledge of guitar with us. Nice to see how you appreciate the Beatles. I got my first guitar after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. I never got to your level of skill. I think that's what intrigued me about seeing your videos when they show up in my related videos. The amount of skill you showed at the guitar at such a young age. Well this one you did on the rooftop session is great. If my memory serves correctly I believe this was their last time playing together....a farewell of sorts. Growing up with the Beatles was.....Amazing! Just like your guitar playing! Thank you!
This is the best of the Get Back Lennon lessons out there. You really got the whole sound, just right to my ear. Those bends in the last solo part seem to go up to the major third, where in the original it sounds somewhere between the major and minor, a bit more bluesy. Great job!
Get Back is in A mixolydian, which is the fifth of D scale. John plays in A major pentatonic and D major pentatonic based on the chord playing. He finished in A minor pentatonic.
There was a version of the rooftop recording of Get Back on RUclips a while back - (I think it may have been deleted) - and the reason John is tapping the strings on his guitar is that the standby switch of his amp - (a Fender Twin Reverb) wasn't on, so he was getting no sound. George leans over and flicks the switch on the back of John's amp and then John starts playing the chords. Great lesson!
On the roof when it happened Mal Evans switched off both George and Johns amp because of the whining police threats. But he did the intro the same throughout the film. I happen tp have the Rock Band isolated tracks of the roof concert and the guitars were very much out of tune from the cold weather. That is if you listen to them separate but together its not an issue.
@@Quetzalcoatl83 In the documentary there are several times where John is using the percussive thumping, as they are playing around / writing. I think it was a stylistic choice.
What a great song!! Your passion and love of the Beatles especially John Lennon really comes through. What they did in such a short time was unprecedented before and since!
Yes, I associated John Lenon with rhythm guitar playing, and it is nice to see him play the lead guitar in "Get Back." He was a talented musician, i.e., guitar solo and rhythm player, songwriter, and piano player.
This was a great breakdown lesson. You are the best! I have watched the documentary, the best thing about it for me was seeing their creative process, them jamming to cover songs and "the finale" the rooftop concert which is my favorite concert of all time. Speaking of rooftop concerts, yesterday I watched a documentary "Fly Jefferson Airplane" and was surprised the band also did a rooftop concert. A year before the Beatles! Lasted only 7 minutes though before police showed up. :)
Ok, congratulations, you have fully taken the feel of this song and the beautiful guitar solo, not only, but also the way to play it. Not for everyone, John & co. thank you!
I am a John Lennon FANATIC! I actually was watching you to see if you "messed up" his style and was so pleasantly surprised at your talent and ability to actually sound like my hero! Good on you!!! 💜💜💜 Love you Lennon 4ever! 💜✝️💜
Great lesson, Ayla! I’ll have to add this to my to do list. I’m half way through the 2nd episode. You’ve inspired me to keep going. With thanks from Australia. 👍
Thanks for the great breakdown! John was such an interesting and idiosyncratic player. He nearly always makes his technical limitations work to his--and the song's advantage.
Just stumbled in on your lesson, enjoyed it a lot I’ve played for many years. Your method appears to keep the fun in it. so aside from Gibson’s Master Class & Fenders Programs I’m going to help some people find your site . I’m sure you’ll have a good affect on some of my friends & family . Keep Smiling & having fun with it yourself it’s contagious you know.
Great job young lady I've been working on this tune for ages. Insightful and tasty yes. Sounds exactly correct . John was not shabby at all on guitar thanks
Best explanation I've seen. At my learning tempo. Notes well defined. (I watched the film, I bought the Casino and an Orange stack just to play that lick)
Ayla, I have been following your guitar videos for years now. As usual this is another great instructional video from you. You always put a smile on my face ☺️
I DID enjoy the lesson. You're a fun teacher 🤪. Here's a virtual apple 🍎 to put on your desk. Haha I enjoy seeing young people grooving on the tunes from my youth.
Ok , complimenti, hai preso in pieno il feel di questa canzone e del bellissimo assolo di chitarra, non solo, ma anche il modo di suonarlo. Non è da tutti , John & co. ringraziano !
My God Ayla, Ive been following you on your channel for years and I literally recognised you on this clip from a close up of your right hand with your way of crooking your little finger! Lol. And now I have a whole channel of your tutorials to check out! Splendid!
You are absolutely right. I can’t pick one favorite Beatles song. But I could gladly give you five, in no favorite order. A day in the life, Come together, Dear Prudence, I want you (she’s so heavy), The long one (Abbey road potpourri). Great tutorial. Thanks.
In the chorus - if you hold your index finger on the bass in the D string while playing the triplets with your middle, ring and little finger it sound better. Letting the bass note ring together with the triplets.
Three word's... WoW, You are Amazing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Well 4!!!!! Just wow what a lesson!!! The little nuaunces you include is above and beyond. Thank you! It also demonstrates your skill as a deep aficionado of music and talent as a musician. You are in a class of your own.
I met a guy who was lead in a beatles cover band. He said their bends were consistently out of tune, which made it maddening to perfect the right sound, because he'd have to memorize each bend and whether it was flat or sharp and by how much.
Thank you for this lesson. I'm new here. This video came up as a suggested video for me so I thought I'd check it out. Glad I did! And I just subscribed. Thanks again; I enjoy your style of teaching. Oh, my favorite Beatles song... that's a tough one. Obviously there are so many to choose from. For now I'll say Hey Bulldog and Rain are among my very faves. Stay well and thanks one more time!
thanx, guitareo(Ayla), for the obbligato ,as Lennon liked to call it. w/ BEATLES fans as young as you, their music truly will live forever. for guitar geeks, JL sanded down this Epiphone Casino to the 'natural' look it became known for, especially after the roof top show (correct me if I'm wrong). rock on, girl. y' sound good. and in all honesty, I will drop by for a lesson here and there.
wow this was great. I'm glad you pointed out that hammer on. Now I know why I was playing it wrong all these years. Too many highlights in PJ movie but the most interesting was hearing the whole group playing Her Majesty. I YT and found Pauls solo take on piano. Neither on anthology or movie. Lessons? how about Birthday, While my guitar weeps and of course I Want You. Now thats a busy one lol. LUV yr vids. Great work.
This is a great lesson. Just a note, and I'm not trying to act like a know-it-all, but someone schooled me on a misconception. John's tapping on the strings did not make the actual single that was released. If you listen closely, he is definitely using a pick on the crescendo in the introduction. There were ~70 takes, +40 on the first day, +30 on the second day.
Just before eight minutes. Use fingers two, three, and four to make that A7 chord. Your first finger is on the A note of the D string and it is much easier to form a cord that way then move all your fingers over. My compliments on your ability to describe what is going on.

It's interesting how guitarists personality comes through in how they play.
It makes a lot of sense since music is often written as an expression of real emption

John was on lead more often than people realize.
@@Zoologic21 plausible I guess, but it was windy, cloudy, in the high '30's that day. I'd much rather have to play rhythm. keep all the digits warm.
Thank you, but a, no joke

@buddhamus, I also love the way John plays this .. with so, so much personality. Yes, you can feel his enjoyment, so very much ...
Wonderful guitar lesson. I always wanted to learn this song. My all-time favorite Beatles song is "She Loves You"
Yeah, yeah, yeah !
I almost forgot. tho R&R and Blues is my thing, 'Penny Lane' is lb. for lb. my favorite BEATLES song .then it's right back to 'Everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my monkey'.
It’s my favorite too
@@willm3027 yeah, the song has color, because of all the images it conjures up.

I shared your channel with beginners. And here with experts and pros. We are impressed. You have a great ear.

Can't be 'unprecedented since' - 'unequalled' works.
Please kick me. All best.
this video is made for me, lmao, i LOVE John's guitar playing on Get Back and it really elevates this song. Thanks Ayla!

just started following your lessons. Thanks for making it simple. Happy birthday by the way!!
Best lesson on Get Back by far.
You really heightened my appreciation for the Beatles as a group as they played so well and unique off each other.
Very nice albums in he background and very well explained
This tutorial is more than amazing! So clear and easy to follow. THANK YOU!!!

Love your instructions. It makes one overcome that fear of making mistakes. Well done!
you're truly amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for the lesson ❤
Great lesson, thanks! I definitely have always picked with a harder attack like Lennon.
Same here. Even 27 years into playing, I gotta remind myself I don’t have to kill the strings.
Thanks for the great breakdown! John was such an interesting and idiosyncratic player. He nearly always makes his technical limitations work to his--and the song's advantage.

Well taught lesson- fun to get our “Lennon” on. Thank you.
You are so good at explaining the little subtleties involved in compositions…..and the best tablature on screen I have ever seen!
Your lesson is the clearest and easiest to follow. Thank you !
Unless you are living under a rock…LOL love it. You are clearly one of the best guitar instructors. Learn a lot from you.
Wonderful. I love your Epiphone, it is beautiful.
Great job young lady I've been working on this tune for ages. Insightful and tasty yes. Sounds exactly correct . John was not shabby at all on guitar thanks
Insightful - educational - revealing - enjoyed - and nice companion graphics with timeline - liked.
NNNNICE!! I just "learned" this song so thanks for helping me unlearn all my mistakes! 😁
Best explanation I've seen. At my learning tempo. Notes well defined. (I watched the film, I bought the Casino and an Orange stack just to play that lick)
FANTASTIC lesson Alya!
Thank You so much for the perfect lesson and playing
Thank You!! So very well done... much appreciated!!
That rhythm riff is taken from Chuck Berry. Also the start of Revolution is also taken from Berry.
"you do whatever you think sounds good"..best piece of advice ever!
Thank you, Ayla😊 Wonderful guitar lesson👍 I understood how to play very well😊
You are an excellent teacher. Perfect combination of demo plus verbal description plus slower tempo for clarity. Great job!!

I love how calm you are
Cool lesson, I just brought the left handed Epiphone guitar yesterday, beautiful feel.
That slap effect was so cool when I saw it in the movie!
Very well presented. Both accurate and charming too.
This must be the best easy to understand tutorial out there for Get back. Thank you so so much ❤
Very impressive how you can play John Lennon's part in Get Back, 👍❤️👏👏👏👏👏

HI FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🏻👍🏻 THANKS FOR THE VIDEO YOU MADE A BRAZILIAN TEEN HAPPY AND READY TO LEARN THIS SONG . GOD BLESS YOU
super job both teaching and playing.
Great Tut! well done. I always appreciate fresh insight.
I enjoyed this lesson, I had a good time!
There are about 10 to 12 versions of the guitar solo on the documentary including 3 complete solos on the roof.
I met a guy who was lead in a beatles cover band. He said their bends were consistently out of tune, which made it maddening to perfect the right sound, because he'd have to memorize each bend and whether it was flat or sharp and by how much.
Awesome Ayla as always! Thanks!

Well done! There were a few things I did not pick up from listening to it originally.
the Gretsch style sound is one of my favourite guitar sounds ever
I figured it out too, it's a fun riff.
Pretty impressive utilizing the same type guitar-Epiphone that John used. Excellent stuff, Thanks
You are amazing… my congratulations and thanks for teaching us - From 🇧🇷
Amazing how talented some people are.
If you've been living under a rock, you've got to be a Rock aficionado and appreciative of the Rock gods' mega Rock hit and swan song!
Beautifully explained. Many thanks.
Amazing work! Congrats.
