Dear Mike, I am an old Beatle fan from Russia and a musician myself. From my early years I tried to distill the magic contained in every Beatles song. Now as I watch your lessons, one after another, I at last get what I have wished to know for so long. Your most thorogh and deep analysis stuns and fascinates, yet amazingly it does not at all kill the mentioned magic, enhancing it manyfold. Thank you so much for your great effort. great work, great result, and such a great lot of pleasure
I really enjoyed reading your comment. Like you, I "cut my teeth" (started guitar), playing Beatles tracks. Ended up playing 'semi-professional' in a Church band (covering these, too) Some folks might be surprised that even Putin is/was a HUGE fan of The Beatles, because of course, music transcends barriers. Also want to give a HUGE shout out to Mike (Pachelli), as we spoke before, a few years ago (on my previous account, here, on You Tube) Trust things are still great over in the South of France, Mike ?
Thank you, Mike! As a natural fan of country, I've always loved this song. The Beatles did some great country music when they wanted to. No need to be offended by John's sardonic humor. "It's only me" (he says while looking up over the top of his eyeglasses).
This has always been one of my favorite songs because as with so many Beatles songs it’s just a great sounding song with the right mix of instruments driven with a raw sounding John Lennon acoustic. I’ve also liked the constant thump thump bass by McCartney which resembles a heart beat which seems to metaphorically match the ‘running for your life’ lyrics of the song.
Excellent!! One of my favorites!! (They're pretty much ALL my favorites!) GREAT JOB!! My first guitar was a pearl white strat, and my first amp was a VOX Buckingham!!
Great lesson Mike! This was my first Beatles album & the sound was so much different from anything earlier ever heard. It made you feel alive. This is truly one of my favorites but in reality how can you ever choose one Beatles song over another!!
We take it for granted that the music is great but we realize only when you break it down in its pieces how wonderful it is. Thank you so much for these explanations.
I watch your videos and sometimes I pick up guitar and i try to learn a part or two, but honestly, I just left to watch the breakdown and your end cover. It's always enjoyable and your love for the music shines through. Thanks for posting.
Mike I think you’re correct on the slide being played on his Gretch. From my experience a normally set up strat has a little lower action which makes it a softer touch to avoid buzzing. I recall George saying in an interview that Rye Cooder was the one who suggested thicker strings / higher action. Don’t forget the strat is brand new to John & George on Rubber Soul, maybe days old and he is still learning slide, a technique that takes time to master.
As always Mike, another terrific lesson/rendition of a classic Beatles song! I consider the "Rubber Soul" album a significant musical transition from their earlier work. Thanks so much for posting these videos for all of us to enjoy and learn from! Hope that things are good on your end! 👍👍
Great job on this Mike. I actually love this song being a guitar player . I do shake my head when I see those photos of those valuable Guitars lying on the floor or against the wall when they were recording all these great songs . 4 Harrison guitar tracks wow
I like a lot your channel. Always loved that song, that reminds me "Highway 51" by Dylan. Your videos are goldmine for Beatles lovers and musicians. Well done, congratulations. And you're a gifted singer too.
Great job it was very informative on what guitars they played and what amp they used George Harrison is a genius simple but right on the money you did a great job
THank you for the instructional video. Rubber Soul, U.S. edition ended side two with Wait and then Run forYour Life. These two songs back to back has made up one my favorite song combinations.
I bet you loved playing that song and all the parts too, including all of the vocals and high falsetto parts . I saw you having fun w it , lol Cant blame ya, always loved hearing each part and individually. Great job Mike.
This is one of those songs that I always enjoyed listening to when I was a kid. But as an old guy now, I don’t enjoy it as much. Still a pretty groovy song though. Nice work Mike.
The only place I go too for Beatles guitar 🎸 lessons, Mike your a gentleman and a scholar. Could you please give Hey Jude the pachelli treatment please the acoustic guitar 🎸 part 🤣✌🏼 Many thanks Greetings from Liverpool
Nice to see Mike getting 100k subscribers. He should be part of the +1M club , instead of other folks out there that doesn’t bring much to the guitar community
Good job. We used to do this song live, so I had to improvise quite a bit, faking the slide part in with the lead guitar solo riff, but it sounded fairly good. You did a good job explaining how they did this song, like you pretty much always do. I wish you had been around back in the days I was having to learn all of these George Harrison parts.
Good job! I had not realized how much of the song was George. They were getting near the time when George was not much of an influence on songs he didn't write, but not there yet.
As a kid I remember hearing this and thinking it was their answer to "...Clarksville" because of the guitar riffs and ending vox. I still hear that to this day. Good job Mike
@@MPfrance Really?! Then it was the other way around. I remembered hearing Clarksville first. I was only about 9 and the records I bought then were singles. That's probably why I thought that. FYI, you might find it interesting that the fellow who played on 'Clarksville,' (I forget his name) is on youtube talking about that song. It, too, had several guitars on it. Apparently you're right about the inspiration. 'Cheers!
Such a great job as usual. You really nailed the tones on this perfectly. I noticed in their arrangements when they put solos in they often put like a I -IV-V part in for it..like in All my Loving and Can’t But me Love and this one. This was separate from the verse or chorus parts. This is a great guitar song in that part of their catalog. Thanks!
Hey Mike great video big fan always amazes me on how you get the parts so perfect. Would love to see you do I don’t want to spoil the party one of my favourites but even if you don’t just keep this content up cus it’s just coolest.
Thanks, Mike! Great demonstration and lesson. I didn't realize it before, but the riff almost has a "Last Train to Clarksville" vibe to it. Perhaps it was a direct influence.
Paul's bass part really propels the song forward. Just played this song with my acoustic duo last Saturday. Dang those nah, nah, nahs at the end are high!
