The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand LESSON by Mike Pachelli 

Absolutely - George is the epitome of taste!!

@@MPfrance The Beatles were light years ahead of the curve.

I agree in every respect - perfect coverd Mike!!!!

@@MPfrance much like yourself old friend

George: never missed a note, and never got in the way by playing too many notes.

The magic thing of living in Beatles era

Si.

@@johnbriancatedrilla4028 yes!

@@johnbriancatedrilla4028 when music was good

@@shawnbopko858 yes that's right growing up at that era is the greatest thing influencing all baby boomers

Agreed Bee Man. I have yet to see Mike's equal when it comes to his lessons on to play any Beatles song. It's a pleasure learning from Mike.

Without a doubt. Echo all you say.

Howard Aultman - I'm humbled by your very kind words. Thank you!

Yes he's the real deal. It's amazing. This guy is a treasure.

Mike is the real deal and love watching him pick apart all the music of the Beatles. I'm in the early stages of learning guitar playing BUT I was at the prime age in my early teens to appreciate not only the Beatles but all the music that was happening at that time. I was a drummer so knew a bit about music. Difficult to interview a well known person and Paul kind of scoffed it away. your question and I would of felt BUSTED on his kind of casual reply. I'm sure you stayed up wondering what question i could ask and he down played it, my own opinion. Mike your the Best of the Best, keep up the great playing and Beatles info on RU-vid. Thanks !!!

I would like to add my shoutout for Mike Pachelli. While I was never a Beatles fan (growing up in the Punk/New Wave era) I have spent the last month locked down in Thailand practicing 'I want to Hold Your Hand' and 'All My Loving' using Mike's tutorials. I have gained a new respect for Lennon & Co. but above all an appreciation for the time (and love) that Mike puts into his videos.

Thanks Charles - I am extremely humbled by your very kind words!

I was 10 or 11 and first saw them on the Jack Parr show singing "She Loves You". I was hooked and sI till am all these years later. Many have come and gone and influenced my playing but I still respect them the most for reintroducing us to artists in North America and for being so unique.

He did a lot of banjo chord shit.

Exactly - it's like Ringo - he wasn't a drummer, he was a composer. His drumming patterns are so unique that a lot of them can be recognized without the music.

@@thebeatlesonblank2227 It was banjo chord, but it was far from shit. Lennon was a very unorthodox musician.

@wayne pitty yeah..his picking on I feel Fine..how bout ..Yer Blues..All my Loving...I could go on and on..He was a Great Songwriter..Very Good Singer and Very Good Guitarist...all around ..what he contributed can not be overstated..

I would suggest that this is where George Martin played his part by showing embellished and chord voicings. Remember it was not that long that they had travelled to the other side of Liverpool because they heard that another guitar player new "B7"😳

Absolutely! It still amazes me when I listen to the early Beatles how AMAZINGLY tasteful George was. He had such restraint for a young man. He never 'show boated.' Just found magical little bits that add so much to each song. George was truly a genius guitarist at a young age. Touché to your ears for being able to hear it!

@@MPfrance George was an over-the-top guitarist as a Beatle, but it only got better till the day he died. Mike, you do an awesome job on these things you do! Now the reason I say both these things is because I'd really like you to break down the guitar work on one of my favorite Harrison songs, This is Love. Everything about that song is way over-the-top!!! Your a excellent guitarist, Mike, thanks again for doing what you do! :o)

@@MPfrance How about the arrangement and solo in "Til There was You"? What was he, 17 years old when they were performing that song in the clubs?

SGT Andy MP Corp I totally disagree. I think John’s rhythms and intricate chords are what makes the beatles music. Harrison’s leads fit great but they’re nothing spectacular and they don’t create the sound like John’s parts

The genius is all 4 together. Separate they weren't nearly as good. Chemistry is what made this work.

Thanks! Means a lot to me hearing that I'm some assistance to you playing these great songs!!

David - you are most welcome and thanks for those very kind words!

Thanks David. I appreciate that! And yes - I work my tail off to get these lessons as accurate as possible. If you'd like to show your support - there's a donate button and/or charts & tabs to download at www.MikePachell.com Thanks for your consideration!

Thank you kindly!

Thanks John - That's VERY high praise indeed!

Thanks Recorder Mitch. That's high praise indeed and I'm humbled by your kindness.

Yes! They were QUITE amazing at making complicated things (for 1963) seem simple!!

Thanks for the kudos and I totally agree with you! We've already recorded the drums and bass for "I Saw Her Standing There" and I'll get to doing the video as time allows.

You are welcome. And I think people with 'ears' actually do get it!

Thanks Lonnie. Glad I can be a bit of an inspiration. My suggestion would be for you to take things REAL slow as you get back in to it. Here's a few very easy lessons I've posted that should get ya pointed in the right direction. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uPiNwvgWGN8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JrDOz-_ZN0c.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5fGZxoOmnhE.html

Glad you enjoyed it

@@MPfrance I loved it! And I agree that this song probably wouldn't have been the hit it was without Lennon's great playing, I would say the same for Harrison's great playing. (I am pretty sure you'd agree) The parts of this song that stick in my brain are George's. The song is kind of made by George's little fills. What a band. I don't think it it's possible to remove any of the parts without diminishing the song by a significant extent. Just an astounding recording.

You are most welcome and thanks for those VERY kind words!

Hi Guy - that's so nice to hear. Thanks!
