Great! I played a lot of Sg's since 1981. I kept the best one I owned: 1961 SG Special, I bought it for $550 in 1994. I sold mostly all my SG's since. Plugged into my 1969 Fender Vibrolux Reverb, it is just amazing.

D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1356. No Question. Phosphor Bronze is better than the 80/20. Best for fingerstyle and strumming. Even singing it is better for. Period.

Fantastico, I remember this coming out, have never heard anybody do this beautiful song. Thank you. Grace and Peace.

Kurt Cobain used a Harmony Stella H912 strung up with 6 strings for his acoustic stuff on Nevermind. Most likely inspiration from Leadbelly who played a Stella 12 string.

To me Ringo was the only creative member of the Beatles. But I don't understand your stuff about swing. If the track is straight, play it straight, if the track is setting, swing it. A drummer would sound really awful if they didn't follow this simple rule.

I always played for fun.....since I was 14.....I put a detailed 3 ring binder and hand wrote all the chord figures and all chords within each key..learned tabs.. I was competent enough to meet up with friends...I played in different garage bands...Now approaching 60 and I have the onset of arthritis biting my hands and fingers....Imagine being 14-15 drooling over Fenders...Gibsons...Gretsch...Ric.. Martin guitars never ever thinking I would own any of them.....Go into a music store just gazing....Well....I made a good buck after college and started to indulge myself in all of them. even tho I was never meant to be more than a "bedroom" player...I just love guitars!

I love mine for what it is .. definitely a unique piece. And I can take it anywhere “ gonna check out the compadre and add a pick up

Muchisimas Gracias por la informacion.. Creo que nada es casualidad. Llegue aqui porque " JOSEP PAMIES " ablo maravilla de este producto ( DMSO ) y ahora Gracias a tu video, y a los comentarios tan positivos de las personas que te sigeuen, Creo que definitivamente lo Conseguire.. Saludos y muchas bendiciones. Desde Celaya Guanajuato mexico🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯❤❤❤😊😊

Very cool. I like the way you walk in and out of chords. Do you have a lesson that teaches that. ? Video lesson. Something like that. ??

the 9/8 to 10/8 blew my mind wtf...

You can make a foam plug by yourself in 10 min. I use them since 20 years!

By the time that Paul was recording "A little help from my friends" there were brilliant bassists such as Jack Bruce who was one of the greatest bass players.

Great video. Thank you!

Didn't Paul also play drums too?

The first song I heard by the Travelling Wilburys was not Handle With Care, but Heading for the Light. While driving in my car, I randomly tuned in the station that was playing it about the time George's slide guitar part came on. I knew immediately who was playing that lead. George's slide guitar has that sweet, Indian or Hawaiian sound that I could listen to all day. Cloud 9 is a fantastic album.

A great team! Loved george m.

I think the main ingredient to the Beatles success was all four Beatles and their willingness to seek out new sounds but to me it was the songwriting of Lennon /McCartney and George Harrison that was the real strength along with the quality of their singing voices. That is not all though. Having George Martin as their producer was like a perfect match for the Beatles and along the way they had very good engineers like Geoff Emerick and others who all contributed to the evolving Beatles sound. Finally i would point out what Ringo Starr has recently said in the last few years about crediting Paul McCartney for the total amount of Beatle output that they were able to release from 1962 until 1970. Ringo Starr said that because Paul McCartney was the workaholic member of the group he would always be the one calling up the other 3 Beatles suggesting they start work on a new album or project. Ringo said that if it were left up to him or John or George that the Beatles probably would have only made 5 or 6 albums and would have been done. But ultimately it was a very lucky but destined combination of factors....of ingredients in the sauce....that contributed to the Beatles very impressive and high quality amount of music and output that the world ended up getting. Even the very rare time that the Beatles brought in another musician to play on one of their songs it was a brilliant choice. Eric Clapton coming in to play lead guitar on George Harrison's song While My Guitar Gently Weeps and then with Billy Preston invited in to play his organ on the Beatles Get Back sessions in January 1969 resulted in amazing work. The Billy Preston solos on Get Back alone justified him being there is what Producer George Martin once said. The classicly trained picilo trumpist that played on Paul McCartney's song Penny Lane really enhanced that song and shows how the Beatles could just hear anything on the television or the radio in Britain love it and then ask George Martin the very next day about who was the guy playing that and could we bring him into our recording sessions. Lol That is the power that the Beatles and one Mr. George Martin had at that time around 1966. They could basically do whatever they wanted!

Peter Frampton and George added more acoustic guitar layers to My Sweet Lord in the studio, that unique sound is almost alchemy.

Does it work for bass?

John was often credited as the leader of the Beatles, but it really was Paul. It was he that pushed them to get the work done. I heard a quote from Ringo recently, "if it wasn't for Paul, we'd have made maybe 3 albums, the rest of us were so lazy". My favourite bass line of his was "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite". It bounces all about the melody.

I hate to burst your bubble but Paul played drums on "Birthday"

It sounds good. I have a 1961 J50. I think? I've been going through some guidelines online to determine. No serial # just a FON

George was never a meh on guitar

Not to be pedantic but in the UK Strawberry/Penny double-A side outsold Release Me by Engelbert Humperdinck but the rules were and are, you can only count a single song.

Robert: Another winning video. Regarding Paul's mellotron intro I can't paste a link but go to BEATLES John Lennon Strawberry Fields Forever intro and you'll hear A. John playing most of the intro which Paul amazingly "filed away" and improved. John is playing it in 1964!

Robert Cassard - Great points. If you read Martin's book (and I believe you probably have) we should remember that Paul in particular - but John and George as well, wrote many of the actual notes in the arrangements. Ex.-Martin said that the piccolo trumpet solo in Penny Lane was Paul as GM said "I simply couldn't write notes as good." Sorry if I mangled the quote - but the effect of the wording of Martin's quote is exactly this. Regarding I Am The Walrus McCartney says Martin went to Lennon's home and the two wrote it. If you hear the 'naked' keyboard intro, John had already baked that into the tune. A very enjoyable video!

Thanks for introducing me. I had never heard of Peppino.

I've been a stew Mac customer for a long time. Been wanting to know about these. Could also pony up more money for the Wilkinson kit. Good to know the pickups sound decent on this one.

How long do they last? I've played 50 years and never used lub....use the dry pads and run them over and under strings....I've noticed my fingers are drier the older I get and they don't slide like they used to. I've heard about mineral oil.

Excellent video. Because of their popularity and innovation, The Beatles can be analyzed and appreciated by you the producer and the audience alike. The Beatles are the standard, of which, to compare other popular music. The crafting of the songs, the composition, stands alone.

Holy moly, killer guitar

Nippon gakki simply means made in japan😒

#3 Green per Bob Dylan

Like the band Rush, all three were masters and Virtuosos.

wonderfull version. Congratulations!

Funny. I’ve gone in just the opposite direction. A number of years ago, I discovered the guitar I never knew I always wanted - a Martin D35S. It provided me the familiar landscape of a classical neck while allowing metal strings. I’ve never looked back. It completely changed my repertoire.

I know that this is 5 years old, but... A technique that I use to create similar effects is to record a 6-string acoustic, duplicate the track move it ahead 20-35 msec, and then increase the pitch a full octave. If you keep them panned to the same place you get an instant 12 string. Pan them apart and you get the layered guitar effect.

Lifelong drummer and Beatles fan.. I had NO idea John was so incredibly innovative on guitar! THANK YOU for the in-depth lesson on this brilliant musician's talent!

Just now discovered your channel. Good to see you again , old friend. Greetings from Grand Rapids.

Very interesting! I've loved John Lennon's music and lyrics for years. So nice to learn more about it. Thank you!

Ringo is the king of feeling. Definitely.

How about simply use chambered solid-body guitar instead of semi-hollow/hollow? Would that solve the feedback problem?

This is guidelines video that I am looking for in looking for right string for my Yamaha F310... Thanks for the info

Threw out the entire beginning of the video you talk about how putting all that stuff in the f hole,changes the sound(balloons,foam,ect) and your answer is to plug the f-hole..what????

All 4 of them were groundbreaking imop and thanks for your time and work

As I look back on it, two very significant things shaped my conceptualization of the bass guitar and its role within songs that I would go on to create. The first thing was the cassette recorder my Dad bought me in 1975 when I was 12. It’s not even that it gave me an independent access to the music I wanted to listen to when I wanted to listen it {although it did do that} because our record player had been doing that for 5 years. It was the fact that the speaker on it was rubbish. And it rendered the bass on a song virtually non-existent ! When I hit 19 and got my own stereo unit together, it came as a surprise to hear Paul McCartney’s bass lines on Beatle songs or the bass lines on the Jackson 5’s “Maybe Tomorrow” LP. That cassette player was one of my lifelines for years. It eventually gave up the ghost in 1980 {I used it almost every day} but in a most formative period for me, both as a person and as someone listening to and taking in music, I thought in terms of just about every aspect of a song - except the bass. Because I couldn’t really hear it. Which brings me to the second significant thing. It was the song “Rain” by Status Quo on the magnificent “Status Quo Live !” LP, the one its lead guitarist Francis Rossi called “rough as a badger’s arse” because there are no overdubs or anything to sweeten it up. I vaguely recalled “Rain” as a single when I was 13 but here it was in all its live glory. Great song. Anyway, when I bought a bass guitar {it was probably 4th-hand, from this junk shop in London’s Hendon Central} at 18, I didn’t even know how to tune it so I remembered the tuning, roughly, from 6 years previously when I was supposed to be learning the cello - I’d opted to learn the cello thinking it would mean that because it clashed with French, I wouldn’t have to do the French homework as I wasn’t in the class but my French teacher soon disabused me of that notion so I lost interest in the cello ! But I did write a “piece” on it based around the tuning of each string and that’s what I applied to the bass. And I set about trying to play “Rain.” Now, Rain has this great riff and in my mind, that was the first thing I needed to get. Once I’d done that I went through what I saw as the changes in the song and I was thrilled. So I approached it as a song to be played on the bass. It didn’t even occur to me that there was a bass line that might be particular to the song. And that’s how I began to approach the bass. I wrote loads of songs on the bass over the next couple of years, often lengthy multi-part pieces. I wrote my first song on the bass that first night, “The Virgin and the Whore.” When Paul McCartney stated that you can’t write songs on a bass guitar, I couldn’t disagree with him more vehemently. It’s ironic that the year he said this {1982} was when I was beginning to do it. The reason I count my learning to play “Rain” as significant is because in 1989, when I’d been a bass player for some 8 years, I was listening to Rain as I cycled home after a disastrous meal at my friend’s house. And though I’d heard the song many times over the years, for the first time, I actually focused on the bass part. And discovered that I’d played it completely wrong that first night ! When I’d originally learned it back in December ‘81, I didn’t play along to the song. My imagination provided the soundtrack and as I doodled on the bass tuned like a cello, I was putting in the notes and parts that I thought were the song. But listening to it in ‘89, I found that the bass part was really rudimentary. It was a couple of notes {Quo were equally famous and lambasted for their basic boogie style of heavy rock} and the riff that I’d meticulously worked out, when I listened to what Alan Lancaster, Quo’s bassist did in it, I was like “Whoa ! There are only two notes and he doesn’t play the riff at all !” That came as something of a surprise ! But I’m glad things worked out that way. Because it meant that right from the start, I was a melodic bassist, thinking in terms of a song rather than a bass part. Now, as I developed and actually started recording songs, I found that it was important to be able to play specific bass lines as well as being able to create a song on the bass. In other words, the way many if not most bass players start their journey, I came to that rather late and had to learn to incorporate that into my playing. But I also count it a positive advantage to have come from the direction I did. When I came to arranging the songs I’d written on bass and putting in other instrumental parts and melodies, I had a difficult time initially. I mean, if you have a song written on the bass, how do you go about working in a melody that a vocalist will sing in such a way that it becomes the focal point ? And other instruments ? But I have managed that and now it’s quite easy. It wasn’t always ! The bass guitar is perhaps the most versatile of all instruments with the possible exception of the drums, in my opinion.

Dude. Within 10 minutes of using DMSO I can move my shoulder in a way I haven't been able to for MONTHS. It's itchy as hell and not touching it is a huge mind game lol but within that short period of moving my shoulder around, I may have just discovered the problem mobility area that I need to work through in my active recovery. Thanks for putting this info out there
