Here's a lesson on "She Loves You" by the Beatles. I take an in depth look at the guitar parts that John & George played on this tune that started Beatlemania. Chart & Tabs at: www.MikePachelli.com
Yeah… I’m 70… took lessons starting at age 8 till 14. Got in my first band at 12. Saw the lads on Ed Sullivan too. Changed my life as I’m sure it did a lot of young guys at that time!
Everyone of these videos are drawing a big smile on my face. 60 years later there's people analyzing bar by bar the Beatles songs. Can't get enough of it
Makes you appreciate the British Invasion and realize how many of those bands disappeared what is still remembered. Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Herman's Hermits and the Dave Clark Five the die quickly in the States yet had a world wide market.
Speaking of Mark Lewisohn, when is the second book of his trilogy coming out? According to his website, "It won’t be in 2020, or in 2021, or in 2022. 2023? No promises, but it’s possible." I guess we'll all have to Tune In and see!
You've no idea how marvelous you sound singing She Loves You. the clarity of the instruments and the enthusiasm. 80 years from now people with love this video. Thank you Mr. Pachelli.
I'm 66. And I've lived with their music all my life. I played, I play and I sing their songs. But I've never thought about what the genius of their music is. Melodicity is the beauty of the sound, undoubtedly. But only now I understand that the main thing is in the little things, the combination of little things in their beautiful music. They are in each of their songs, little things that add a certain charm, beauty of sound. This is their genius.
The reason I play guitar is George Harrison. The master of taste and exactky what's needed. We could all wax lyrical on the the genius of John and Paul. But their's would be a lesser accomplishment without the subtle grandeour of George to bring out the the brilliance of The Beatles. Thank you Mike for articulating the 'quite one's' contribution the the Beatles' overall excellence.
Im 70, I was a Beatles Fan from the beginning and i am still a Beatles fan an enjoy very much to play Beatles songs in guitar classic style with the help of the great lessons of Mike
Just want to confirm the detail and accuracy of Mike's Beatles' history section. Not only did I live through the Beatles' era, I have studied them, and their respective lives ad nauseam. Great job on this video.
I guess I'm a little late to the party but I just discovered this channel and it is amazing. Like others have said, most Beatle lessons on RU-vid are simplified versions and it is only when you see it correctly displayed with all the different parts that you understand how genius the fab four were. And I like how you put it all together at the end and play these songs and you do it very very well. Thank you, Mike! Share the music and share the joy...
KBoege - You are most welcome and yeah -those young lads were brilliant the way they'd put a song together. Each part fits together perfectly! You have a good ear for noticing that.
Was not really my favorite Beatles song but, jeez, quite rich in texture. Like most Beatles' songs, there are so many subtle parts to the whole. 60 yrs later and I'm still discovering the Beatles!
Great to hear the Beatles songs played properly. So many people including musicians say Beatles songs are easy, they are only easy if you don´t play them correct with the right chord structure and licks and then they sound crap.
I agree....played electric blues and slide for years and years. Thought i'd try some Beatle songs for the first time last year. My fingers have never had such a workout on chord structures. Absolute genius and so tight as a band
I love how Mike teaches us the importance of George. I no longer see George as secondary to John and Paul. They may have wrote the framework of the songs, but they needed George to turn the songs into awesomeness.
Since Mike has been doing the Beatles stuff, I had no idea how great George is on all these recordings.......I got a new 'hero'.................along with Mike !
I completely agree, George's playing always fit the song and he was actually the very first guitarist I looked up to and he's still one of my personal guitar heroes
Hadn’t seen this one till now (25 July 2022). Mike gives me goosebumps with every breakdown. And the performance track is like being in the studio with the lads! Makes me cry with so much respect.
Can’t agree with you more, not just the chords the intricate guitar solos also. The simplicity and complexity seems to be inherent in all their songs, a genius combination. It’s not until Mike here has brought it to your attention that you really get to appreciate their talent.
I could never quite put my finger on what made this song so poignant despite its upbeat approach. Thank you for showing me Mike after all these years. It's Georges descending chord voicings at the end. So evocative of a feeling of loneliness.💚
Most excellent. My favorite Beatle song to play. If you can't have fun playing this one, what CAN you have fun playing? Jut think, when this ws released, it was not good enough to play on American radios. All that changed of course after"I Want to Hold Your Hand". No wonder the Beatles had all top 5 songs in the charts and 7 of the top 10 at one time in 1964. Even a simple song such as this one needs your insight to break it down into what went into it. The Beatles understood harmony. Not just vocal harmony, but instrument harmony. That, and being anxious to change and experiment, was why they were so much better than everyone else. Thank you for doing this

By far the best Beatles tutorials. I’m a huge Beatles fan but after these tutorials I walk away with an even bigger appreciation for their genius and originality. They really were one of a kind. By the way, your recordings are awesome! Thank you for what you do!
A gentleman carrying an Italian name living in France and speaking American...confusing. But this surely is the most in depth analysis about the Beatle recordings ever in the history, all the questions in my teenage were answered! Thank you so much. Tell us please more about yourself!
That was really awesome Mike! It sill boggles the mind at how they were able to come up with all those variations in chord progressions & also write incredible lyrics. To me it was pure musical genius. Thanks for these videos. Be well & stay safe......... 👍😉👏🎸🎤👍😉
The reason I graduated as a composer is these Fab Four! I guess, all of us remember freezing in the floor, listening to those sounds of incredible, almost alien sort of freedom, and this astonishing, if you please, "child-alike" joy, so easily understood by a kid, as it happened with me back there in eighties and, perhaps, still happening with our brothers and sisters around the globe this very moment. Thank you so very much for all of your videos, I'm living my cheerful moments throughout the day with them!
Brilliant. Many thanks. I was 12 at the time and drove from the Coventry to the Liverpool docks in a lhd triumph spitfire (it’s a long story) and had this song come to life when I got there.
Brilliant Mike! Harrison I mean wow. I have always though he was way way underrated. To this day his stuff at what 19 is was some of the coolest guitar I have heard.
Mike- brilliant, inspiring job on figuring out the pure magic of the Beatles. What is even more astounding is that these guys were doing all of this in their early 20's. Are you kidding me?!?! Such cool, clever writing, playing and singing- it is unbelievable that this actually ever happened in human history. I rank the Beatles right up there with Tesla, Einstein and Edison for pure brilliance.
Honestly Mike that what an Awe Inspiring vid! Loved it all. The subtleties on George's descending riffs , absolutely Brilliant. Finally a tremendous performance by yourself! Thankyou , Gary 🎶👍🙎♂️👍🎶
Yeah as a 61 year old who wishes that he had significant guitar talent, and envies those that do, I can say that the Beatles songs are not at all simple. They were fairly complex arrangements. And to this day, i still marvel at all of the wonder of creative stuff they did. If you listen, they were INVENTING so much interesting stuff that NOBODY else had the guts to try. Their producer, George Martin, is often considered the 5th Beatle because of his contributions to their music. Like them or dislike them, anybody who dismisses their work just simply doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Super props Mike, it so neat to see the breakdowns of these songs. I'm so amazed at the knowledge and expertise these guys possessed at such young ages. Truly amazing.
Mike, in my humble opinion, She Loves You is the greatest pop song ever recorded. The way you broke this down and explained it was genius. I don't play guitar but I was mesmerised by your teaching and explanation. Then you put it all together at the end perfectly. We'll never see the like of The Beatles again but you did this wonderful song justice. Thank you so much!
I have watched this video so many times .... I salute the Brilliance of the Beatles ... and I salute your salute to the four lads. You are a wonderful, talented and joyful Beatles emissary, archivist, historian, interpreter and preserver of their legacy for all to enjoy forever more.
What a great analysis and explanation! But everyone knows what a extraordinary guitarist and teacher Mike is. Most surprise how he can sing the Beatles voices. Absolutely amazing!!!
Fantastic Mike, 69 and counting but never cease to learn and be amazed. I had just landed in Australia as a boy from the UK when I first heard She Loves You and I was Hooked . Thanks so much for making things so clear and unravelling the mysteries that have haunted me for years.
One more thing its hard to believe what a command of thd instrument George possesed.and how young he was at the time.4 amazing individuals.Great perfomance of the song Mike you are such a talented musician and great performer!
Great job. I definitely blame my dead Dad Johnny Kidd (RIP 1966) for my loving the Beatles. It's taken me a while coming back to these early songs, but they are in my blood.
I was mainly a self-taught ringo-style drummer until I was about 18 in 1970. Had you been around for me back then, i would have had a hard time choosing my instrument.
Wow Mike, I had no idea you could sing like that! Your guitar playing is impressive enough, but adding singing along with it takes you to another level of awesome!
Very cool!! Loved every second of it, especially when it all came together at the end. I'm 65, saw the Beatles twice at Olympia Stadium in Detroit in '64 and '66. Forever a fan! Again, great job on a great Beatles classic!
Your videos are EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!! I have tried to figure this song out so many times! I love your enthusiasm for the guitar parts! Thank you so much 🎸🙌🏼
Nice job. Love the energy and joy you bring during this session. On this day in 1964 “The Beatles” played on the “Ed Sullivan Show”. It is my first childhood memory and I was two months shy of turning 3. My parents remember me taking the dust pan and pretending to play a guitar. Left a huge imprint on my young mind for which I’ve always been thankful. Playing guitar to this day...especially Beatles tunes.👍🇨🇦
Mike Pachelli = The Blond Beatle(s)! Seriously, this is a pretty cool study. The original chords have always grabbed my gut, and you have unlocked the mystery.
Just love the back stories and musical breakdown! Thx you so much! I was one of the millions in the audience that Sun night! By Monday I threw my final pass, bought a Hofner and began a 50yr career in the arts! Thx so much!
Newcastle, New South Wales in Australia, 1964. For years I had been enjoying all the songs of the 50s and early 60s from my mother's radio. These included Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, Sheb Woolly (Purple People Eater), Rolf Harris and skiffle (My old man's a dustman). Then one morning in April 1964 (I was 14 years old), I hear something totally different and spell-binding, the Beatles "She Loves You". I was immediately obsessed with the song and the group. I will never forget that morning. I didn't realise it was the same group that I had heard play their instrumental "Cry for a Shadow" and backing Tony Sheridan in "My Bonnie" years before. I had to buy a guitar and learned more from analysing Beatles' song chords than from anything or anyone else. Thanks for this Mike, it means a hell of a lot to an ageing Boomer in Australia. They visited Australia in 1964. I missed the shows but my wife saw them in Sydney. There is some excellent video from these concerts, I hope it is still on RU-vid. How lucky was I to live through the 1960s? Here is some good video of She Loves You from the Aus tour in 1964. Watch John playing the Intro chords just as Mike described - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yGLncOcu6v4.html
@@MPfrance I personally feel it's as good a record as the Beatles ever did. And as good a record as anyone ever did. It's just sonic perfection, as your examination makes clear.
You guys are awesome...this is the first song I ever heard the Beatles play in 1963 in Vancouver BC. It is a moment in time I will never forget! I was 13 years old and building a model car with by buddy Bobby. Even at that age I knew this was music beyond compare!!!!
Just another fantastic video Mike. I so appreciate the history of the recordings as well that you provide. These guys were just amazing beyond comprehension. Thinking about them with this level of sophistication barely in their 20's adds to the amazement.
Mike, I'm amazed at the details that you work out and make us aware of. I've been performing as a solo artist for around 45 years, and I play most of the songs that you're teaching, but the way you explain the intricacies and the nuances of each and every Beatle song is truly fascinating! I want to tell you that even though I play most of the songs, I see your videos over and over again just to make sure I play them to perfection. I'm glad I ran into your videos, it's been a learning experience ever since. Keep up the good work... God Bless You!
Mike, your tutorials are amazing. You make the lessons so much fun and the stories about how the songs were created are just so cool. Thank you for the work you do. Your instrument collection is amazing as well.....
Thanks, man, I am 50. I grew up listening to The Beatles, second-generation mania(c). I played a little guitar in my teens, I picked it up again and learned like 6 songs in a week thanks to you. It is just so much fun. Playing, You get to admire them even more for what they did with pretty simple chords.
A masterful breakdown of a seminal song -- bravo! Spot-on vocals and instrumentation! Take a bow, Mike. This is a great illustration of the importance of chord voicing -- even with relatively simple chords -- and demonstrates why The Beatles were truly exemplary of the phrase 'The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.'
