Here's a lesson on the LEAD guitar played by Paul McCartney and the rhythm parts played by John & George on this country-fied song off of the HELP! album. Chart & Tabs: www.MikePachelli.com
The interesting thing for me is that after watching Mikes videos I can hear differently a song that I’ve heard probably a million times! Had no idea that on this track they swapped guitars around with Paul on lead!
I’ve been watching and learning from your Beatle song demonstrations for years . But I am fascinated with your life’s work . Apparently you had a TV show and played a tune with Jeff Berlin , I watched the performance, Jeff was Jeff but you shocked me , great playing . Then I see you ask Paul McCartney a question about a Jazz bit . And now , you knew George Harrison’s sister ? I am perplexed, you can’t write this stuff. Anyway, I love your channel!
I've always loved and appreciated the Beatles music. It's quite intricate, but when you break it down like this, I get a new and fresher appreciation of their music. Thank you,, Mike!
Another great lesson Mike. Thanks so much for your dedication to this. Really interesting lead from Paul. John’s part on the verse is a little reminiscent of what he plays on She’s a Woman
Thank you for your help mike, the particular thing with the Beatles songs is if you don't play EXACTLY the right parts , that sound rubbish, but with lessons like that we have the keys...
Very interesting Mike. I know the song well but listening to the individual parts didn't make sense to me. It sounded like a real jumble. But when you put them altogether, there is was. I think the vocal hold it all together. As always. Great job. Oh, I remember walking to downtown Canton, OH with a few friends to see the movie. I would have been in 7th grade. That was the day I became a Beatle fan.
When you were talking about Jumbo acoustic from George Martin notes, did you notice in the anthology movie when Paul said "we used the jumbo guitar, George H. corrected Paul saying that was not the Jumbo acoustic! " (I don't remember the exact phase). I guess George H. didn't know the "J" meant Jumbo to Gibson, but I think George H. was thinking of his J-200 instead and correcting Paul. I knew Paul was right when I first saw that part in the movie, but always wondered how Paul got it right and (I assume) George H. got is confused? Perhaps Paul would read George M. notes and use "Jumbo" correctly? thanks for that background story!
Hi MIke Big fan of all of your videos. Would it be possible for you to do a video of Leave my kitten allone (Beatles version ) as we've played it many times but cant quite get it correct. Thanks for any help. Mick
Great lesson as usual. You write out a perfect music score for the song. How were the "Lads" able to get the timing correct when none of them could read music?
You tickle me Mike. Where do you get all this trivia?? I lived in central Fla for many years. MOved back to Va when my father got sick. BTW thw C with the high "G" note. I call that my Donovan chord. (Catch the Wind) You probably knew that.
I always say the BEATLES could have been a 3 guitar band like LYNRD SKYNRD or MOLLY HATCHET if CHAS NEWBY the guy that sat in on bass for STU A couple times in Liverpool had joined! Paul always wanted to play lead….and everything else! Great job.
Mike my question to you is did you actually play Paul's lead with a left handed casino? You are the best Beatles teacher on RU-vid without a doubt . I dig learning and playing each part. Thanks again !
Mike , great stuff so meticulous. I have been analyzing Beatles recordings for years and I have noticed that on many of the older recording including most on the Help LP they are tuned to A=432. Cool idea to reverse the Paul parts to appear left-handed.
@@MPfrance look forward to hearing that Mike and thanks for replying😊 The track has been overlooked imho when studying Beatles output, I did read somewhere that John said it was an earlier attempt at Ska but that may or may not be true..
Great job Mike! Not a great Beatles song, but I always thought the lead guitar parts were unique and interesting. Not easy to figure out and duplicate.
George NEVER hated his sister! They were very close. She received a modest pension from George for many years. They had a falling out due to the "Hard Days Night Bed-and-Breakfast" she promoted. But they reconciled before his death. She was surprised that she would no longer be receiving anything from his estate and was sure that George would've been upset about that. Louise passed in January of this year. She had been living in a Florida nursing home.
Great as always. I always suspected Paul played the lead. I'm no guitarist but I think I can hear a real stylistic link between this track and Pauls work on Ticket to Ride and Taxman. Lots of "bendy" notes? I think that's the correct musical term.
Paul played lead guitar on more Beatles tracks than you can shake a stick at. I think we all assumed every song had George performing lead guitar parts......totally untrue.
