The Beatles - I Don't Want To Spoil The Party LESSON by Mike Pachelli 

This is the song that got me learning guitar in 1988. My college roommate was a music major at Indiana University. He played this on his acoustic. And he must have played it for me hundreds of times. He finally handed me his guitar and said you learn it. I did although very poorly. This is in my top 5 maybe top 3 favorite Beatles songs. I don’t believe John wrote this as an upbeat track. I think he wrote it slow as a lament but who knows. I now fingerpick a slow version of this. Thanks Mike! You are the best! I love everything about this song. Another outstanding version as well!

A childhood favorite, both from "Beatles VI" and the "Eight Days a Week" flip. Still my favorite track on both albums it appears on, a longtime favorite strum-along, and- needless to add- I've been gettin' it all wrong. Thanks for straightenin' me out, MP!

I heard this song on the way home from work today, and I thought "I need to finally learn this solo." I have the complete scores book but didn't feel like learning via tabs, so I came on here hoping "I wonder if Mike has a lesson for this song."

One of the most J-160-sounding songs

So glad to hear someone not spreading the myth that Paul sang the low part

God bless you Michael Pachelli

absolutely great, one of my all time favorites. There's a lot to work out, but that will be fun... Thank you Mike once again.

Played slow, I hear some of I’m Only Sleeping in John’s part.

Great job keeping it fun. The education is icing on the cake.

This is the first ever i hear somebody play that difficult solo piece exactly like george did!

I love your lessons Mike. I've been a Beatles fan all of my life ( and I'm 68) but I especially love the early days. This was one of my many favorites. Thanks for taking the time to chart this out.

My highest regards to Mike Pacelli, and of course the young Beatles , for their attention to detail. Particularly Mike's . A lifelong devotee & affectianado myself, Mike has dialed me in.

The EQ boost on George's guitar is around 2k or 2,5k. In fact, I ripped the sound from your video when you played the solo and gave a 15db boost on both 2k and 2,5k and BINGO: George's typical Beatles For Sale sound as if by magic!!!

Thanks for yet another great lesson and song history Mike. Very enjoyable.

Another outstanding lesson by a music genius, Mike. I love the way you present the lessons. This one is not easy but you make it look so easy. I especially love the way you put it all together at the end. I would need a hundred takes to get it right. Thank you for sharing all your hard work with us Beatles fans. You are a gem.

Mike, you never seem to disapopint! :)

One of your BEST BeaTles Lessons EVER‼️

Mike, thank you for another great Beatles tune. It is obvious, that you have fun performing it. George's guitar part is absolutely great, I really love it. Amazing work. My respect for George's tasty and song supporting guitar play grows with every song!

😅I have that 45! Eight Days A Week/I Don't Want to Spoil The Party. I must have been about 5 years old when my Mom bought it for me. Thanks to Mike, now 58 years later and retired, I learned to play Eight Days a Week and will learn I Don't Want To Spoil The Party as well. LOL, one of my circles of life closing. Thanks Mike!

One of my favorite songs but knew I wasn’t playing it correctly. Thanks so munch Mike.
