Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous Mr. Popkin. Well done to say the least. About George and John's parts - amazing. John's chord choices and arpeggios are simply other-worldly.
Agree 100%! I also think that the chord progression he plays when McCartney sings “came true today” is a variation of the progression he played during the middle of Badge by Cream, and a variation of the chords played at the beginning of Ringo’s “It Don’t Come Easy “
Amazing work. George’s playing on Abbey Road is next level. I’m impressed how you nailed the tones. The Deco really does that tape modulation sound wonderfully
Holy man i’m blown away.. A lot of this was stuff I had kind of guessed and figured out after listening a lot, like the “One sweet dream…” section. But the solo and “out of college” section I had so many misinterpretations that you made me realize! Great job as always this is freaking amazing man keep it up!
I would enjoy so much more if I wasn't always singing along very loudly - amazing work Sam! This is such a great way for me to fill in those blanks from childhood that the chord book just could not translate and only adds to genius of the Beatles!
Absolutely sick. It's so dumb how the Hey Jude story gets talked about way more than the countless times G and P were in perfect harmony. An incredible, loving guitar part for a Paul at his peak song
@@afonsobarradas6036 paul telling George not to play guitar on Hey Jude. Was a sore spot in their relationship. But with You Never Give Me Your Money there was more camaraderie
My theory was always that Paul was letting George do more guitar like this on abbey road because the group was on the ropes and he had to give George more creative freedom t keep the band together. (I could be wrong). Love it either way.
What amazes me the most is how simple their music seems to be and maybe actually is composition-wise. As if one could make such songs like a factory, all the hooks and patterns are evident. And still noone is able to. Thanks for another excellent cover.
Geez, Sam - if anything was ever played note perfect, that was it! Truly awesome work!

George is great, for sure, but how come people never mentions how John was also an amazing guitarist and an integral part of their sound, especially on songs like this?
are George and John really playing here? I always thought these guitars were recorded by Paul alone, it sounds so much like stuff from Ram and "McCartney"...
@@sampopkin I can't picture the solos on The End being played without them. Paul's maybe, but I think George might have used a fuzz face for his. Now that I think about it, he might have also pulled it out for his overdubbed guitar parts on "I Want You (Shes So Heavy)". Everything else on Abbey Road, he probably played straight into the Twin Reverb.
@@elirosen1391 you do hear george using one on the outtake from I Want You at Trident 1969. And obviously during Get Back (freak out-post Harrison quitting jam). Only other definitive song I know that used one is Mean Mr Mustard (Paul’s bass)
One of my favourite beatles songs... such a sublime track. Paul's amazing melodies and singing... john and george's guitars and angelic backing vocals, and ringo providing the perfect beat. What a song.
The neck pickup sound on a les paul is so much bassier than a telecaster neck pickup and it sustains really long. Telecaster would’ve sounded a lot brighter, to my ears at least
@@sampopkin Awesome cover..read somewhere that George plays lead on his casino because there's some minor flubs in the coda and it's likely caused by the neck on the casino where it's more tricky to hit those notes! not sure about that, but you nail his tone really well..
Can't stop listening to this. Something about this track's guitars has always spoke to me, and hearing you playing it perfectly in isolation is just magical. Thank you.
Very good job! You have a great ear and reproduce the sound quite well. If only those 4 guys could have set aside some creative and personal differences, taken a break from each other, yet come together (pun intended) occasionally to make some more music. John seemed to come out of his drug-induced haze when he turned 40. I have often thought maybe they could have worked together again on a limited basis.
One of my favorites beatles tune. You could lower the guitar volume, put Paul's voice and say it was the original thing to me and I'd not notice LOL. Great job, Sam!
This is probably my favorite Beatles song and I love how it starts the "medley" and the reprise of it with orchestration in during "Golden Slumbers". You really nailed the guitar parts and I'm especially impressed that you got those beautifully low soulful licks that are nearly buried under the original production starting about 1:49, during the bridge. Spectacular! It's like hearing the song again for the first time when I was a kid in 1969. Look forward to looking at your other vids. Thank you.
That fuzz trick is very much something Jimi Hendrix also used live all the time. With a strat or a casino it creates a lovely almost sparkly sound when the volume is low.
According to Andy Babiuk "Beatles Gear: The Ultimate Edition All The Fab Four’s Instruments From Stage To Studio 1956-1970 There were two people using an Arbiter Fuzz Face in 1969.one was Jimi Hendrix who used it at Woodstock and George Harrison on the "Get Back Session and Abbey Road sessions" in 1969
YOU NAILED IT MY FRIEND! YOU HAVE AN AMAZING EAR! Many others on YT who do these Beatle tutorials, not so much. I'm a 66 year old Beatles aficionado (especially with McCartney) and I too play Beatle parts (guitar, piano and bass) to a high degree of accuracy. I am VERY critical of TH-cam Beatle song tutorials but you get an A+++ on this. Very nice indeed, I'd even go so far as to say perfection. Your pull-offs, bends and slides are all spot on. That's where most people flub up. And your guitar FX are as close as is humanly possible. And most importantly, YOU GOT ALL THE NOTES RIGHT! Again, many other YT tutorials just... don't. So, BRAVO to you! BTW, aren't the guitars in this song beautiful?!!! I've loved the guitar parts in this song since I was a teenager. Thanks for posting this, especially for all future Beatle tribute bands. :)
Thank you for the kind words! We are kindred souls in wanting to find the most accurate way to play these songs. I don’t always get it 100% right but am trying. Nice to hear these videos are helpful
LOVE what you do here, Sam! I have always wondered about that wonderful bell-like tone of the guitar when they sing, "1-2-3-4-5-6-7, all good children go to Heaven". I see now that it's the Casino on the bridge pickup. May I ask what effects pedals you are using for that tone and what amp you are going through?
i believe this tune was mostly played live in the studio. since he was no doubt on piano did PAUL later overdub bass or was it one of the others? do you know who exactly played what on this tune?
It’s a good question. I don’t know how much George liked Hendrix while he was with the Beatles. But in the anthology dvd you see a poster of Jimi on his Friar Park-home wall George was very inspired by Clapton and Robbie Robertson’s playing around this time. Who both loved jimi
This entire part is one of my favorite Beatles guitar moments (out of millions)! You nailed it! Your tone is PERFECT! I'm about to buy both of those pedals. (edited for error)

Great job. George Harrison might be the most tasteful guitarist who ever lived.

@@thomaswood8167 Sounds right, and is definitely the same arpeggio style in all 3.
He is
Yeah but it should be mentioned that Lennon plays the last solo
@@hanymgamalactually George played all the solos on this one
Amazing work. George’s playing on Abbey Road is next level. I’m impressed how you nailed the tones. The Deco really does that tape modulation sound wonderfully
Thanks!
Your best cover. Not joking in the slightest. It's ACTUALLY PERFECT.
😁🤘
Agreed!
My favourite song! How neat was this performance!
You nailed the tone once again! That's incredible Sam!! Well Done
greatest cover i've ever seen
It's so cool how this song feels like it transitions to a new song every 30 seconds. I agree with the other commenter; your best cover!
Thanks! ❤️
It’s kind of similar to sgt pepper or bohemian rhapsody in that way. I love how varied it is
Prog rock before prog rock!
That was incredible ! You´re a great perfectionist
If I had to pick my five favorite Beatles songs, this song would be on the chart. It's wonderful, it never bores me
Sounds SOOOOOO good that i listened to it for over a 100 times and still not enough!!
❤️❤️❤️
Holy man i’m blown away.. A lot of this was stuff I had kind of guessed and figured out after listening a lot, like the “One sweet dream…” section.

Great tone... to the point that I was shocked when the bass didn't come in at 0:47 .
Your ear is impeccable!
Great tone and sound, that's probably the closest the record I've ever heard someone cover. Good job.
That bend that George does at 2:10 sounds so good double tracked great work Sam!
Absolutely sick. It's so dumb how the Hey Jude story gets talked about way more than the countless times G and P were in perfect harmony. An incredible, loving guitar part for a Paul at his peak song
What Hey Jude story??

@@andrewg9457 and also george's suggested part on HJ was a shit idea. Paul was right
@@scat3040 you talk like you 've listened to the guitar parts. Better stick to your scat fetish
Amazing mate.!! Please dont stop never.. love your videos
You nailed it, making the guitar sound just like the original. Way to go. This is the best cover on TH-cam.
By far one of my favorite Abbey Road songs, and you have certainly done it justice! Nice job Sam!
Thank you, thank you for this cover Sam! Simply superb!
Thank ya' so much,Mr.P. Your talent highlights what incredible musical craftsmen they really were.
Thank you!
Sam, you're the Man! The effects are spot on; the interlude at 1"48 is awesome. Thanks for posting.
Really love this song and im glad that you've done it
Congratulations with 10000!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I think most Beatles fans would concur Lennon was a great rhythm guitarist, one of the best 👍👍👍
Amazing as always!!
Thanks Jess!
The multiple sections of this song are so different in vibe but yet they're all equally awesome! Fantastic recreation, Sam! 👌
My favourite Beatles song 🤩😍
Just like the record! Amazing job!
At 1:21, you have John playing an Em while George plays an E7. Is that what they actually play?
Yes! I was surprised when I heard in the isolated tracks that John plays E minor while the piano and George’s les paul play an E7
and to add more felling to it, E7(#9)
Wonderful guitar...magical song...one of the best Beatles songs...
are George and John really playing here? I always thought these guitars were recorded by Paul alone, it sounds so much like stuff from Ram and "McCartney"...
@@zGollumI think all of the Threatles played guitar on this with Paul on the solo at the end
Who else sang along? I sure as heck did.
WOW!!! I get home from high school and I see this, the best thing that could happen, nailed it!!!!
Excellent ! Thank you very much !
Wow. Just wow. This is incredible! Amazing cover Sam!
Amazing cover! The spirit is caught ❤️
This man’s got it! 🔥🔥🔥
George used a fuzz face? I never would have guessed! Do you think he used it for other songs?
He definitely used it on this one. Not sure if any other songs featured it. Possibly john’s solo on the end?
@@sampopkin I can't picture the solos on The End being played without them. Paul's maybe, but I think George might have used a fuzz face for his.

Another song I've been playing wrong☹️
I heard that.
I had been playing it wrong too! This is educational for me haha
I had to learn it exactly, listening to isolated tracks
@@sampopkin well your the master
Awesome cover! I always wondered what guitar George used. How were you able to tell that it was his Les Paul and not his Rosewood Telecaster?
The neck pickup sound on a les paul is so much bassier than a telecaster neck pickup and it sustains really long. Telecaster would’ve sounded a lot brighter, to my ears at least
@@sampopkin Awesome cover..read somewhere that George plays lead on his casino because there's some minor flubs in the coda and it's likely caused by the neck on the casino where it's more tricky to hit those notes! not sure about that, but you nail his tone really well..
Can't stop listening to this. Something about this track's guitars has always spoke to me, and hearing you playing it perfectly in isolation is just magical. Thank you.
For me, this has to be George Harrison's best lead guitar work ever. He improved so much by the time he played on this album, it's astonishing.
Very good job! You have a great ear and reproduce the sound quite well.

John seemed to come out of his drug-induced haze when he turned 40. I have often thought maybe they could have worked together again on a limited basis.
Well that was pretty amazing. Have long thought that was their best(along with Revolver). Never seen it played before.
One of my favorites beatles tune. You could lower the guitar volume, put Paul's voice and say it was the original thing to me and I'd not notice LOL. Great job, Sam!
The recording probably can’t be loud because of copyright
@@debomb721I had to record my own piano for the intro and remove the vocals to avoid getting blocked. I kept in Ringo’s drums
Holy crap, sound more like the beatles than the beatles! Well done
Tones tones tones….Great ears Sam! Well done as always. Cheers!
This is probably my favorite Beatles song and I love how it starts the "medley" and the reprise of it with orchestration in during "Golden Slumbers".

That fuzz trick is very much something Jimi Hendrix also used live all the time. With a strat or a casino it creates a lovely almost sparkly sound when the volume is low.
Yes! Jimi was the king of that. Also brian may who did that with his treble booster

For as good as J & P were at songwriting, George’s phrasing/pausing/vibe is the same level.
This is so perfect
¡Muy buen trabajo Sam!
Siempre Beatles...¡Grandes!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
all good children goes to heaven,
👌🏽
this video made me smile a lot :))))
出来れば、海賊版(ブート)に、収録されている、曲の、後半が、ジャズ風の、演奏の、テイクをお願いしたい！
Absolutely PERFECT!! It's first time I've seen someone completely nail this song, great job!
Amazing. I knew that guitar solo of George was double tracked. Love it. Long live the Beatles
Been waiting for this one for a while. Well done, Sam.
Fantastic, Sam! Thank you!
acordes divinais !!! 👏👏👏
Very good +1 Keep the good work coming
You should cover "Don't Let Me down"
Excellent, as usual 👍🎶
Flawless- I could watch this over and over !!
That’s awesome! Amazing ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
2:26 - 2:29 its 100% perfect
Also incredible, as the others songs you shows how the guitars were played.
Congratulatios.
speechless
You're the god of tone!!
That’s all Beatles
Best cover of this song on TH-cam. The tone. The licks. The solo. The arpeggios. You played them exactly the same. Thanks for putting it out.
✌🏻
harrison’s contribution on this is legendary, and so is your cover!!
I believed that john plays the lead in that one but if you say so, anyway great cover man
I say so! 😉
Thanks haha
this is amazing !! great job sam :)
The perfect cover doesn't exi...

Who’s Amy Betty
Perfection
im playing the bass with u at home

I see now that it's the Casino on the bridge pickup. May I ask what effects pedals you are using for that tone and what amp you are going through?
Thanks! For the casino I’m plugged into my 1974 Fender Pro Reverb amp. I use a slight tape flanging effect with my Strymon Deco pedal
so so good! some of their best guitar work on this one I reckon.
i believe this tune was mostly played live in the studio. since he was no doubt on piano did PAUL later overdub bass or was it one of the others? do you know who exactly played what on this tune?
Check my description
Thank you so much.
El mejor cover que he escuchado
Are George melodic rhythm double stop parts here and in don’t let me down Jimi inspired?

Just purchased the Analogman pedal from their website!
🤘I have like 15 of his pedals. They are all incredible
I want to *be* this song...
02:11 after this>>>
Occasionally some clever git will put a comment on saying the Beatles were overrated, no I don’t think so!.
You should see the comments on my 3 Savile row insta fan page…
I love your covers
i’m so happy right now sam!!
didn't Paul play any guitar on the song? Also amazing cover.
Paul was on piano, no guitar
I don't find a cover of "Real Love" 😢
I will do that soon
Brilliant job!
WOW.... attention to detail
