“The Beatles never played it live…”Which means they never played it again in their entire career as a band, even for themselves. It’s mind blowing. imagine Sinatra recording My Way once in studio then never singing it again the rest of his life. The Beatles were unique.
That is mind blowing they never played it again as a band, and I think it’s in their top 5 best songs. I would rate it higher but so many of their melodies are so beautiful it’s hard to rate their songs. It’s safe to say they just don’t write songs like this anymore! That casino has a very distinctive sound that’s heard on several of their albums.
No way… was listening to this song just earlier today on a long train journey and, as with each time I’ve listened to it, I heard that closing lick you said is Harrison using a volume pedal and wondered at it… I was ALWAYS convinced it was horns. I marvelled at the fact that the Beatles must’ve commanded such power at EMI that they could hire a horn section just for the closing bar of a song and never use it anywhere else on the track. But it’s a volume pedal… of course. Now I hear it. You ALWAYS reveal something new, Mr P, even on songs I’ve listened to since birth. 👍
This song is a great example of the Beatles economy of combo playing and production. One rhythm guitar, lead guitar only on fills in the bridge, bass, drums and vocals. Can you imagine if Phil Spector produced this! He would have had 10 stacked guitars , 3 pianos and a choir! Great lesson, thank you.
That was over the top fantastic Mike! Definitely one of my favorite Beatles tunes. Their harmonies on that song are incredible! Pure musical genius and played to perfection by Paul & George! Thanks again for keeping their music alive & well. Hope that things are good in France! 👍👍🎸🎸🎤🎤🥁🥁👏👏
I'm in awe of your background knowledge of the Beatles songs and your ability to break down the musical sections. I've listened to these songs for fifty years and never heard the intricacies you bring to the table. You may think not another song, but you've got me listening again like I've never done before. Thank you.
No need to be "in awe of (my) background knowledge." I simply do a LOT of research in books and on the web, take notes and then deliver the info. Truth-be-told I probably forget MOST of what I've said the day after taping the lesson.
Thank you very much Mike, you made a awesome and beautifull job, and your teaching is really the best. Keep on teaching all the wonderfull music of. The ❤Fab ❤Four❤
Thanks for another great video lesson on the Beatles. This is one of my favorite songs. Also, you reminded me of how much I learned from them about chord shapes, voicings, and picking. I also greatly appreciate your insights on the background to the songs and the many nuances of how they were played and recorded.
@@MPfrance I'd expect nothing less Mike. You are a talented guy! I pride myself in my ability to "hear" the right chords in a song etc, but you take it to the next level with detail.
Incredible breakdown. I can’t get enough of these Beatle lessons. BTW, the Sonic Blue strat with the rosewood fretboard is one of my wishlist guitars. Unfortunately my guitar playing skills could never do it any justice. 😂
You’re unbelievably talented, Mike. Even managed to play Paul guitar left-handed (the left-handed bass, we have already seen). All the details down to a T. Thank you ao much for making the world a better place. BTW, wearing those bell bottoms, somehow you a little bit like Ted Neely 😎
HaHa - I feel it sacrilegious to see a McCartney part played right handed so I horizontally flip it in the sound-alikes. It is shown right-handed during the lesson tho'...
Thanks for doing this song. This one has always kicked my arse because of its lack of rock rhythm. I get asked to play this one often. I'll work on it now. Charts snd tabs always help.
I played it on my phone and you tube through my Anker speaker side by side with my CD player in my truck it sounded so close It wasn't funny ! Your guitar playing was perfect. Loved it..
One of my favorites. I love the alt. take off anthology. Paul really sounds angeic on that one. That Bm to Bb really grabs you. Also like the modulation to Bb later in the song. Just great. Is there an acoysic part buried in the mix? Oh, and nice lesson....✌️👍
Thanks, Mike. Paul has said he and John included preambles because they were influenced by the standards. John did it on If I Fell. Strangely, Paul changed the words to "I need a love of my own" when he played it on Give My Regards to Broad Street and for some time after. I think he's gone back to "here" now.
Speaking of George, Cloud Nine is about my favorite album, maybe you could teach some stuff from that? Thanks Mike always waiting for your next lesson. I have learned so much!!!
Somebody asked if Paul played an F#m7-5 and when I answered, his comment got accidentally erased. Sorry. My answer was: The Beatles never played F#m7-5. What they (Paul in this case) did do (many times) is sing notes that are NOT in the chord they're playing. For instance, in this song Paul plays the full F#m7 but sings B-C-B on "nobody (can)." Which IMPLIES an F#m11 to an F#m7-5 before landing on the tonic of the B7 (a B note). THAT, my friend, is part of their natural abilities!
Always enjoy your lessons and the great detail you go to, especially with their early tracks. Have you considered doing Every Little Thing from the Beatles For Sale album. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Not sure if I’ll have enough patience to learn at least guitar part ( which I actually was searching for) but anyway you are really cool! Best of luck man!
Beautiful as always, Mike, I’d love to see a lesson on Hey Bulldog (maybe with an inclusion of McCartney’s bass part since that’s one of his best bass lines), I Need You, The Night Before or And Your Bird Can Sing sometime
JR - Thanks for the kudos. FYI - They're simply singing triads. The same as what's being played. For G (sing G B D) Am (A C E) Bm (B D F#) C (C E G) etc.etc.
There's not a better place to learn Beatles songs. ❤ Love every video.

Amazing ...I've been a'listening since before birth.
Another twenty minutes of pure joy. Thank you, Mike!
How nice of you to say. Thanks!
You make some of the best Beatles vids man been watching since I was 12 years old now I'm 19. You're "And Your Bird Can Sing" is the greatest

Thank you kindly and yeah - things are great here on the French Riviera!
I’m running out of compliments for this guy’s work! Every video is a gem and so well researched. You’re an absolute treasure Mike! Thanks so much.
this dude is amazing the way he dissects a song...and .to be able to play left and right handed ..a truly gifted musician
What a great Rendition, and the lesson is great too, thanks Mike for keeping this Gem alive.

Mr Sixth Beatle! Love this and all you do to teach us the right way! The intro story and the Sound alike is worth the whole admission! ✌🏻❤️
And you sang it in the final key which even Paul couldn't do. Awesome Mike.
The best place for a true Beatlemaniac in youtube. getting info about the songs is such a fantastic bonus. Your work is very much appreciated
One of your very best Monsieur Mike - and that's saying something. Bravo!
Thanks for this gem, Mike! One of my favorite Beatles songs. 🍻
Mike. you knocked another one out of the park with those subtle nuances!
Fabulous video Mike. Great song and terrific chords. Thanks for showing us. 🙋♂️👏👏🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it

Terrific thanks Mike. These videos are gold.
Amazing as always! I love your voice too

When I was a kid I tried to make my mother understand that The Beatles is not only about shouting, and I made her listen to this song...
GREAT JOB Mike!!! WOW!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Excellent tutorial, very accurate, always well explained as always. Thanks maestro.
You are very welcome
Just an amazing song and arrangement, Mike you are the JUST the best! Thank you for the back story and more importantly the lesson :-)
Great job on this song which is nostalgic to listen to imho, I am taken back to 1967 when a good friend let me listen to his copy of Revolver..
My goodness, that was outstanding. Thanks, Mike.
WOW Mike, the backing vocals, just FABULOUS! As usual, you nailed it and the backstory's are the best! Cheers! MB
You’re unbelievably talented, Mike. Even managed to play Paul guitar left-handed (the left-handed bass, we have already seen). All the details down to a T. Thank you ao much for making the world a better place. BTW, wearing those bell bottoms, somehow you a little bit like Ted Neely 😎
Such sweet song! Thanks for your hard work.
Another home run, Mike. God bless you man.
Beautifully done, great tune. Another Beatles tune explained and performed by one of the best.
Plus, I like your gold bell bottom pant, looking good.
Thank you kindly! - Those are my Run & Fly Mens Hendrix Corduroy 70's Flare Trousers. You can find them on-line.
@@MPfrance very lengthy name for those stylish britches
Hey Mike - VERY COOOooLLL..! 😊 👍
Fantastic as ever Mike!

Another great breakdown of a fabulous song...thank you Mike
This wonderful song was my opener dance at my wedding. ❤
as always superb and generous enthusiasm.
So nice of you to say.
so clever Mike how you even manage to play Pauls parts left handed ! Amazing lol
HaHa - I feel it sacrilegious to see a McCartney part played right handed so I horizontally flip it in the sound-alikes. It is shown right-handed during the lesson tho'...
Great job Mike. I enjoyed this. Simple but elegant and tasteful.
great job mike. the Beatles were special. just amazing.
Whata little masterpiece of a masterpiece you did Mike! Thanks a lot...

Amazing Mike-keep it up ❤
Those Ooo's sound amazing.
Awesome Mike. Enough said.

John also said.
"One of Paul's Masterpieces"
Good information, and a lovely rendition, thank you.
Thank you for putting together this piece of art in your video. It’s a great song and you played it real nice. Best regards from Grantsville, Utah
Thanks for listening
Beautiful Mike!! Bellissima lead vocal.
Excelente resultado! Eu nunca tinha percebido essa frase final tocada por George, semelhante à de "Yes, it Is". Obrigado por mais esta lição! ☺
Wow, this will be great Mike. I’ll savor this video!
Seeing Paul in Sydney soon. Can’t wait
Thanks for doing this song. This one has always kicked my arse because of its lack of rock rhythm. I get asked to play this one often. I'll work on it now. Charts snd tabs always help.
I played it on my phone and you tube through my Anker speaker side by side with my CD player in my truck it sounded so close It wasn't funny ! Your guitar playing was perfect. Loved it..
Cool! I just noticed the ancient headphones. Well done sir!
Thank You for this, Mike!
One of my favorites. I love the alt. take off anthology. Paul really sounds angeic on that one.
That Bm to Bb really grabs you. Also like the modulation to Bb later in the song. Just great. Is there an acoysic part buried in the mix?
Oh, and nice lesson....✌️👍
Brilliant interpretation, indeed!
Hey Mike. Long time no hear! You are the quintessential Beatles Maestro.
Thanks again mon ami !!!! Excellent tutorial( as usual) .
Brilliant!!

Oh my gosh you read my mind. I’ve been wanting to learn this🤣
Great tune… and great pants on the sound alike!
Thanks! Those are my genuine Hendrix pants. :-)

Keep up the good work.
Your Beatles lessons are great. Can you please do while my guitar gently weeps? I would love to learn it from you.
You're amazing mike 😍😍😍
Mike you are the best
Brilliant! As ever
Grande Mike!
Brilliant. Again.
Thanks, Mike
Thank you so much! Not sure if I’ll have enough patience to learn at least guitar part ( which I actually was searching for) but anyway you are really cool! Best of luck man!

Another excellent lesson! Could you please do Hey Bulldog. 🙏
Another brilliant piece of work Mike thank you very much indeed. Any chance of you picking apart that beautiful backing harmony you’ve done?
JR - Thanks for the kudos. FYI - They're simply singing triads. The same as what's being played. For G (sing G B D) Am (A C E) Bm (B D F#) C (C E G) etc.etc.
A beautiful song - one of the Beatles very best. McCartney was at the peak of his song writing skills during this period imho.
I love how the backing vocals were recorded in the matrix.
Amazing
