You're absolutely right. They were my internal guidance for better or worse. I had Timothy Leary's impetuous son in my 9th and 10th grade life. Why me? Lucky me. Not easy being me.!
The beatles was a big part of the music I grew up with.have to say Mike you bring back great memories and listening to the way you play there songs its just great have to say.
When I gave up learning guitar decades ago from "six easy steps" books - playing Michael Finnegan and Frere Jacques etc - I chose this song as my one party piece. All I wanted to be able to do was recreate that scene in Help! where the Beatles are lounging around their house nonchalantly producing this fantastic sound. Of course once I'd learnt YGTHYLA I found other Beatles songs with similar chords and learnt those, and so on til today when I might struggle to exist without a guitar somewhere to hand :) . But it all started with You've Got to Hide Your Love Away. Great to finally learn how it's SUPPOSED to be played :)
Still one of the most simple and lovely chord progressions ever. I’ve never been able to get the wonderful Beatles tunes out of my head since I first heard them in February ‘63.
Thanks Mike what would us Beatles fans do without you. I could never deal with all the chords when I was young reading music books. Now your videos make them easier to learn.
Hey Mike! I’m 17 years old and just picked up the guitar a few months ago. Been enjoying your beatle lessons a lot. Me and my dad watch each of your new lessons and really enjoy them. He’s been playing 45 years and beatle songs as long and even he is learning new tricks and chords with your lessons, thanks Mike 🙂 -Charlie
OMG! I watch all your vids but thought I'd skip this one 'cause I believed I'd had this great Beatles song nailed for the last 50yrs. I was shocked to find I was so-oo wrong. I'd mistakenly been playing an A chord, instead of a D, after the opening G. Memo to self - NEVER, EVER miss a Mike Pachelli vid. Thanks Mike.
cricklekid - It's common for folks to hear a vocalist sing an "A" note and think the corresponding chord is an A. But if it was - it'd have to be an Am. Thanks for the kudos and the vote of confidence. And please know - I do extensive research before I commit to any detail on these lessons.
As a fan of the Beatles since day one, I look forward to another one of your videos. The details you go into are amazing and much appreciated by your viewers I'm sure. Great job and terrific performances as always.
One of John's most beautiful compositions and is such an emotional song for me. I know you understand. I just usually end it with singing the flute part with Da da da, da da da... Great lesson.
The Drop D simply makes this tune (especially with George's additional 12-string overdub). I don't know why I didn't think of using Drop D previously. Mike strikes again! Thanks bud...
At last . . . a true an accurate demonstration of how to play one of my most favorite Beatle songs - one I've been playing for years. I've gotten close, but missed some of the subtleties that make this song true to the Beatle recording. I also love the history you provide as background to the Beatle songs you so expertly teach. Thank you, Mike!
That was once again a fantastic lesson Mike! Yet another one of my favorite Beatles songs showing John's genius as usual. Your cover of their songs is always spot on terrific! Thanks for keeping the real music alive! 👍👍😉😉👏👏
You are amazing Mike… I see you have even learned to play the bass left-handed… it’s fantastic to see how they put it all together when I always thought these were quite simple songs to play.
I still confess, you sir are the ultimate source (other than having the actual Beatle show you) on how to play their songs. Remarkable set up you have, your ability to break down each part into different videos combined in one, and most importantly, your talent in your playing of each instrument. Bravo
I've performed this song often and love it. I realize how lazily I play it. You're showing me how I should be playing it. Now I know. I know so many Beatles songs that I play lazily. I love seeing the nuances that are actually there. It also encourages my own writng to have more complexities. Thanks Mike
Mike, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your instruction on these Beatle songs. I wish they had been available 30 years ago when I was just learning. Thank you
Brilliant Mike. The first song I remember listening to as a child of about 4 was "You're Going to Lose That Girl" at my grandfather's house as I ran around his coffee table. I noticed that I loved the IMHO Lennon "led" Beatles (up to Revolver) more than the McCartney "led" Beatles. (Pepper onward). But I believe the "Help" CD to be their greatest album. Matched closely by Revolver. I should add that George put so many great guitar bits into almost every song it almost seems beyond belief. It's one thing to add some just right, tasteful, perfect parts on a song or two but to do it song after song and at such a young age is incredible. What we forget is that it required these young guys to put in some very very hard work as you demonstrate here in your wonderful clips.
wow, you did a great job of explaining a song that seems simple but is really subtly complex with George's single notes and hammers. Thanks for the video!
I love the back stories and as always a brilliantly accurate rendition. Don’t mess with perfection. Just okay it the way that Beatles do. Unless you’re Stevie Wonder or Earth, Wind and Fire!!! Advantages to both ways I suppose. Thanks Mike. Another great video.
My vintage song book had standard F and C chords, so that's how I learned it. Makes much more sense with five note C and the F add 9. Another great lesson.
First Beatles song I learned to play back in the 60s. And always one of my favorites. Thanks for another outstanding look into the genius of the Beatles.
Priceless from front to back here Mike . great background info and very helpful detail on getting this great song together. What jems the Beatles gave to the musical world, and it make one glad to be alive. Rock on and keep up the much appreciated videos. Tom from the UK.
I figured out the chords to this song when I was a kid (about 1967). But for some strange reason I never realized John was playing a twelve string on the song. After about 50 years I had a minor epiphany. I never knew all the names of the chords I was as making but I hit the exact chords (by ear).
Another masterpiece, as usual, Mike. I especially liked the insight into George’s drop-D 12-string part-that adds so much to the song. You’re doing a real service to history to illuminate all the details to those great Beatles’ songs. Thanks for that! Jim
Jim - Many thanks for the kudos. And yeah - George was a GENIUS at adding just the right sauce to what John & Paul were cooking. And how difficult that would be. He was truly outstanding!!
I can hear Donovan's Catch the wind in this, particularly George's hammer-ons. Strange, I've known the song since it was released and I've never noticed that before. Great job again Mike, thank you.
Another great video Mike thanks very much. John Lennon was a bit Waka do, excellent. Not only is this influenced by Bob Dylan but also it sounds very much like Catch the Wind by Donovan. This flat picking as it is called was used by buskers in the nineteen sixties to make the guitar sound louder where regular fingerpicking didn’t have enough volume. Of course Donovan accompanied the Beatles to India and it was there that Donovan showed John Lennon how to finger pick and then he came up with dear Prudence.
Mike I don't think you realize how much these lessons mean. Thanks for this Mike. The strumming speed is difficult but with enough practice I'm sure I'll get it.
Just bought a 12 String Framus Texan for this song. A rhythm guitar players dream in my opinion. Can't find an affordable Hootenanny. Anyways, thanks for breaking all of this down. I also love your passion for the Beatles, it reminds me of the kid I hung out with in high school who I smoked pot with daily while listening to the Beatles. LOL
I can't get enough of your analysis of the timelessness that is the Beatles music Mike and I really enjoy the backstories just as much. On the chorus of YGTHYLA, I always played (play) a/the hammer-on on the C chord (D-E). I know it's not technically accurate, but it's something I've always done. Thanks for this and all the other great videos you post! Cheers! MB
i loved that track when it came out on the Help album. Sang along until it was forever burned into my brain. Great info and lesson as usual. You're the Beatles' Best. (But not Pete)
another winner for you, Mike!!! I love when you initially break it down, with the BPM and number of measures in each section...I have to do that regularly, as I do these songs with keyboards and sound modules only, and since I do the framework of the song with my sequencer on the master keyboard, I have to first create a "cheat sheet" where I also break it down to the various parts and measures where certain things come in......
. My first guitar was a Framus archtop. I didn’t know back in the 60’s but recently did a Google search and found out that it was actually a fairly respected instrument that was made in Germany. Your backstory revelation that John Lennon played one on “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” makes me wish now that I still had it. Great video. Thanks Mike !
About twenty years ago I came upon a 12-string guitar on sale and got to try playing a song with it and for some reason, the only thing that came to my mind was You Got to Hide Your Love Away and I felt that the guitar was a natural and perfect for it. Years later, I learned that John Lennon actually played a 12-string guitar for that song and I went "So that's why!"
Excellent job as usual Mike! I loved the recorders. I was fortunate enough to play recorder on Fool on the Hill with a big band arrangement and our community college last spring.
Love it. When a friend got me into The Beatles back in 1980, this one jumped out to me. Love Lennon's voice in it. I always learn little things with you on these. I always play the D in the turnaround between the 1st and 2nd verse and 3rd and 4th verse as a D7, adding on an additional G on the high E string (is that D7sus?) half way through. Another thing to unlearn.😁
I can't imagine growing up without the Beatles.
Kevin - Me neither. We'd have had to listen to Pat Boone rock! And I always say - "Every song (past 1963) is a son of a Beatles song!"
@@MPfrance and I can't imagine how someone can be talented as You are!!! Fantastic job! 👍
@@MPfrance Mother Nature's Son of a Beatles song
You're absolutely right. They were my internal guidance for better or worse. I had Timothy Leary's impetuous son in my 9th and 10th grade life. Why me? Lucky me. Not easy being me.!
“It’s easy if you try”

I was 10 when I saw that Ed Sullivan show… hard to believe I am enjoying the Beatles as a fan and a player for 59 years..another great one Mike !
I love how you go thru all the tid bits and play the entire songs at the end yourself.
Mike, good to see that you are still doing these lessons.
great beatles track, love the lessons mike it really helps me play some epic songs
My wife and I do this song at open mics and she also plays the recorder for the flute solo.
That's pretty cool!

I've never been more impressed than when you nailed that recorder part 👏👏
What can I say, another one added to my Mike library. You nailed another one. Thanks again Mike.
Thank you, Mike, for giving us all these wonderful songs that we knew from our youth.
I love the details you give on how they played their instruments. It shows how talented they all were.
I've performed this song often and love it. I realize how lazily I play it. You're showing me how I should be playing it. Now I know. I know so many Beatles songs that I play lazily.

Mike, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your instruction on these Beatle songs. I wish they had been available 30 years ago when I was just learning. Thank you
Until the Nineties in Europe we had to import high price videos from the USA to learn some licks and riffs. For beginners today it's the paradise.
As usual the ultimate Beatles fan .plays this beautiful song .Beautifully.. thank you Mike.
Amazing work from Mike Pachelli - a true enthusiast!
Thanks for the hard work you put in to give us these great lessons. Great as usual thanks again

When you were playing the guitar my pet bird flew over and was listening and watching then started singing along. It was cute.
wow, you did a great job of explaining a song that seems simple but is really subtly complex with George's single notes and hammers. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Mike!
Another gem. Love the acoustic sound on this song.
Brilliant on the Beatles' artistry and on yours! Thank you very much.
My pleasure!
I love the back stories and as always a brilliantly accurate rendition. Don’t mess with perfection. Just okay it the way that Beatles do. Unless you’re Stevie Wonder or Earth, Wind and Fire!!!

Deane - Thanks for the kudos and yeah! I agree with you. Nobody should mess with the perfection of the Beatles' music. Just try and do it as they did.
My vintage song book had standard F and C chords, so that's how I learned it. Makes much more sense with five note C and the F add 9. Another great lesson.

This is one of the most memorable songs in the Help movie
This is the coolest channel! It feels like I am listening to a knowledgeable friend playing live music in my house.
Wow, thanks!
I've been playing this song for decades , i got a few extra bits to add to it thanks to you!
The Reactors - Ahh - that makes me smile!
Thanks again Mike. One of my favorites growing up. It's great to learn I've been playing it wrong all these years.
Jeff - Rock on - correctly now!
I love your accuracy with the music. Thanks.
One of the first songs I learned on the guitar and still play to this day
Thank you for doing this song , it’s my favourite Beatles song. Excellent 👍
Thanks for all the backstory. Always loved the folky element and how John's voice is a bit strained. It fits well with the moodiness of the song....
Another great breakdown of a cool song, Mike, love the backstories!
Oh Mike my words can not even discribe how much I thank you for this one!
Really enjoy 😊 your doing the Beatles and your enjoying it also ! Thank you 🎸🎸👍🏾👍🏾

Love your facial expressions emphasizing the hammer-ons during George's nylon part. LOL! Perfect.
Great flute work!😊

such a great song
Love this song. I’ve been playing a version of it for years but as always your video has taken things to a new level. Thanks for the video
Love everything about this! Your Lennon vocal is perfect!
Love this song, ty
Always had a liking for this song, the way John sings it is very 'Dylan' and it is so short, great work with the recorders Mike
Great job Mike.. Love your videos and instructions and your passion for the Beatles...
Your'e the best Beatle songs teacher!
Thank you for all of your great video lessons. You really break it down to where I can understand it! I look forward to another video.
My name is Rick sir I've been playing about sixty years and it is still one of my favorite songs in the world sounds great
Excellent, this seems right on
I can hear Donovan's Catch the wind in this, particularly George's hammer-ons. Strange, I've known the song since it was released and I've never noticed that before. Great job again Mike, thank you.

Fabulous!
I believe they also played it on the Hard Day’s Night film. On the train if I recall correctly.
Very informative and interesting Sir ! Thanyou so much !!!
Excellent job as usual Mike! I loved the recorders. I was fortunate enough to play recorder on Fool on the Hill with a big band arrangement and our community college last spring.
Such a great song & a great lesson to teach it! Reminds book that amazing scene in the Help! movie, where John plays this!
No doubt a bear to tune, but that 12 string Framus sounds fabulous-- great video!
GENIOUS !!! THANKS FOR REMEMBER MY CHILDHOOD!! GREETINGS TO ARGENTINA.!!!!
P.S. SORRY FOR MY TERRIBLE ENGLISH !!!
I enjoy these lessons very much, keep them coming!
Mike, you are amazing 👏!!!!
One.of,,,if not, my very favorite Beatles songs.!!!
😁💕💕👍
