Beatles songs, played properly in the exact original consignment, are really difficult for us lesser mortals. It really shows the talent they had. A strange thing happens though when learning their songs the hard and proper way, you get subtle visions of their time like yellow submarine and other 1960s feelings.
My top ten (no order) Yesterday Julia Blackbird While my Guitar Gently Weeps Here Comes the Sun Across the Universe Michelle Norwegian Wood Ticket To Ride Let It Be
My list in no particular order -Yesterday -Blackbird -Something - Norwegian Wood -Dont let me down -Nowhere Man -Ticket to Ride -Michelle -Do you want to know a secret -Yellow Submarine
Excellent list… the Beatles melodies are so strong they sound great when played using simple chords when you’re starting out, then get better when you are able add all of the embellishments as your skill improves. The only songs I would definitely add is “In my life”, “Mother Natures Son”, “Dear Prudence” and of course, “Yesterday”.
Excellent man ! It kills me when people ( like recently Quincy Jones ) put down the Beatles .. they are such a wonderful gift to all of us .. to the world. Your playing is spot on man ... the boys would be proud and give you a nice nod ! Yes, I subscribed .. 'tis the least I could do.
funguy4utube Cheers man! Who gives a shit what some might say about The Beatles, about how musically advanced they were or were not. Their melodies/Chords/riffs/lyrics have touched more people than any other music ever created. We’re all unbelievably lucky to have ever even heard their music in first place.
I agree. Sometimes it is my friends ( and bandmates ) ... I think they feel when something or somebody is so on top .. all they can think of is "then they have to be knocked down / put down". The Beatles are a huge part of my life ... been playing guitar since a 1965 largely due to them ... and now I am 68 ! It has been a long long road. They have been a constant friend along the way and so have my guitars.
I don’t think Quincy put down the Beatles. He said they were the worst in the world which is obviously a joke. He said when he met Paul McCartney at 21 he was a shit bassist. This is very likely to be true. Also, there’s no doubt that in a capacity as a session drummer Ringo would be a disaster. He says himself he can’t work to a click and can’t do normal things.
Been a hard core Beatle fan for a very long time, Ed Sullivan Feb 64 on up. Great job. I remember Frank Sinatra once said that "Something" was the greatest love song every written that didn't contain the word "love".
I always loved the end of Abbey Road, I think it was a mix of unfinishing songs strung together. Yes, I believe it was called ( "The End"). A great finish!!!
Incredible... how good & easy Chris makes this look... enviably incredible...! (from a huge Beatles fan here, who saw The Beatles live in concert, 3 times... we could see them, but we couldn't hear them, because of all the screaming... so your versions sound much better...!)
I do an acoustic version of "For no one". Sounds ok but there is no substitute for the French Horn Paul wrote in on his original score. Nice touch! And one last one, "'Til there was you" would be on my list.
I really enjoyed that. I was learning guitar back in the 60s when the songs were coming out. Every new Beatles album was like a new lesson in chords and technique. I know most of the songs in this video but a couple of the ones I don't play are worth learning I think. Thanks. If I could offer any advice it would be to slow down Blackbird. It's about half that fast. :-)
Very nice job Chris. Don’t know when I fell off the planet but I’ve real only heard “Across the Universe” within the last 10 years and I honestly don’t care for it. AND, that’s from a guitar player since I was 8 years old and a huge Beatles fan...I’m 65 now.
Just learned Norwegian Wood. When seeing you play I tough I wouldn't bem able to play. But It was easier than I first tough. Very cool song to play and sing. Now I need to learn some of the others. Thanks
every guitar player has to learn how to play it correctly. i’m learning the right version/how paul plays it, so it kinda pains me how much people play it wrong
Excellent job Chris. A couple of my favourites to play that you didn't include are, If I fell & Hide your Love Love to see your take on these two, so I can steal some stuff ! I'm still at the basic level and love all those little embellishments that you've mastered and make the playing sound so good.
Saint Kimbo thanks a lot. I could have done a Top 100 Beatles Songs list (maybe I will) they have so many great tunes! Keep practising my friend and good things will come.
you are so excellent of a player , thanks for showing your post was appreciated ! Still working on copping a few but can,t see to well ,your fast and good and i,m not as advanced as you but love to learn .
This video is incredible. Could you _please_ do a tutorial on 'Something' and 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'? The fingerpicking style is so damn beautiful for both, especially just the way you play in general, it's so elegant/effortless. Your versions also seem to be the easiest. Thank you so much again for this video. You seriously deserve more recognition.
aizy.patricia thanks, I appreciate that a lot. I’m pretty busy with my other channel (Six String Fingerpicking) at the moment but in the future I’ll happily do tutorials of those songs.
Six String Fingerpicking That’s understandable, yes, of course, no rush at all. I’m just in love with the way that you play them. Keep up the amazing work. :)
Great list. Mine would include "Dear Prudence" and "Julia" - Not sure which of your tracks to replace. Probably "I'm Looking Through You " and "Two of Us".
I could tell by your face you were resisting very hard to hum or sing…i wouldve failed myself, beatles songs are damn good
Haikal Fauzi damn good indeed!
You can almost hear his breath around the 3 min mark haha
I want to like it but it’s at 600 likes even
They are not Damn Good Haikal my dear friend, they are gifts from God
I was wondering why he looked constipated
Every guitar player should study the Beatles back to front nothing but great songs, nicely done mate
Wandering Squire I totally agree!

Blackbird is my all time favorite Beatles song. It lies in a special place in my heart
Two songs I was thinking of was "Yesterday" and "I Will".
I could have easily made it top 20!
Or julia
And i love her
Olavo Francisconi Neto doo doo doo doo
Idiot dances
You look like Paul McCartney and Ringo had a baby together. (That's a good thing)
You mean short haired paul with a big nose
He look like Noel

Matthew Ramos Noel Gallagher.

I’m pretty sure when you buy an acoustic guitar, learning Blackbird is required by law.....😉
I know I have a guitar and that's what everyone requests but it's hard for me but I will keep trying
@@savagechallenge217 it is easy once you learn it. I suggest using a metronome more. Anyway, good luck and don't give up
@Jase sadly no but I've learned here comes the sun
And a few other songs
Finally I've learned blackbird and it really only took 2 to 3 days the strumming is a little off but It's sounds good
@@savagechallenge217 just keep practicing, took me a couple of months to get it perfect
This is by far the best Beatles guitar compilation
Great work! You threw in several of my favs.
Surprisingly, 3 by Paul, 3 by John... and... 4 by George...!!
Not too surprising when you realise he was lead guitarist :P
@@vDomMusic sadly, he was hidden behind John and Paul.
Ringo rises above all else to quiver under his eternal rule
i love Something. one of my favorite beatles songs. Here Comes The Sun is great too. george was their hidden gem
Nothing for Ringo..... well, he only wrote like, 2 or 3 songs during his time with the Beatles but he's still great anyway
NO way I could have played those without singing. Excellent job.

@Jesus RequenaFFS man...neither do I. I think he's amazing. Read what Quincy said.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps sounded STUNNING.
Been a hard core Beatle fan for a very long time, Ed Sullivan Feb 64 on up. Great job. I remember Frank Sinatra once said that "Something" was the greatest love song every written that didn't contain the word "love".
I knew it ! Blackbird is always first :) as a self learner I learnt this and its such a joy
My personal favorite, almost since it came out, is No Reply. Love the changes.
The first beatles song i learned on a acoustic is helter skelter.
David Brent style head movements with really nice skills.👌
Great job. I was never as good of a guitar player as this guy, but this makes me wanna get new strings and play guitar again.
I always loved the end of Abbey Road, I think it was a mix of unfinishing songs strung together. Yes, I believe it was called ( "The End"). A great finish!!!
Richard Hommel yeah, Abbey Road is one of my favourites for sure.
You are so right!!!!
Curiously it was the last song they actually recorded
You mean The Abbey Road Medley?
Thanks, Chris, for just getting down to it, and PLAYING with no commentary! Nicely done!
Bonnie MacKinnon glad you enjoyed it
I like the part where he plays wonderwall
i wheezed
Great to hear some of the lesser known but still fantastic songs. Lovely tone!
Incredible... how good & easy Chris makes this look... enviably incredible...!
(from a huge Beatles fan here, who saw The Beatles live in concert, 3 times... we could see them, but we couldn't hear them, because of all the screaming... so your versions sound much better...!)
Very nicely done. I would add: And I love her. Naturally, Yesterday. Eight Days a Week
Beautifully played! Thanks for the tips and inspiration.
i sing the songs while he plays the guitar and he seems to enjoy it!!!! thanks man
I do an acoustic version of "For no one". Sounds ok but there is no substitute for the French Horn Paul wrote in on his original score. Nice touch! And one last one, "'Til there was you" would be on my list.
jerry12601 oh yeah ‘til there was you’ is a great choice
I don't think that was Lennon/McCartney, it came from "The Music Man" Broadway musical. I did enjoy your video, esp. Across the Universe
Thank you
That is from the music man so it is a cover. The Beatles didn't write that song. Surprise surprise.
Very clean playing. I play some of these and know they are not easy to pull off well.
I really enjoyed that. I was learning guitar back in the 60s when the songs were coming out. Every new Beatles album was like a new lesson in chords and technique.
I know most of the songs in this video but a couple of the ones I don't play are worth learning I think.

One of my favorites Any time at all a lesson, please and Here comes the sun a great song
Got the british haircut down I see

Where is Yesterday!!!?? 😱😰😭😢☹️🙁😕
It's behind you.
David jordan underrated comment
It's my least favourite Beatles/McCartney song
R Smith how
it says for advancing players.. lol. yesterday isn’t too hard to play 😅
All brilliantly played. The something song is best I've heard on acoustic.
Michelle
Julia
Dear prudence
I feel fine
Norwegian wood
Here comes the sun
Girl
In my life
Across the universe
Yesterday
Just learned Norwegian Wood. When seeing you play I tough I wouldn't bem able to play. But It was easier than I first tough. Very cool song to play and sing.
Now I need to learn some of the others. Thanks
Could you please do a tutorial for While My Guitar Gently Weeps, please? Thank you!
I'm looking through you. What a great song and great chord progression.
Beautiful playing man I love here comes the sun
Danny Harwood thanks! It’s a beautiful song.
Barbi Ferrari it is a Beatles song
Excellent job. Your performance Chris demonstrates just how astonishing the Beatles writing skills were.
Well someone’s definitely played Blackbird a time or two before this video lol
KT GE haha maybe once or twice
Yep. That's the version I've played for some 30 odd years. Rare to see it done properly, and it absolutely was!
It wasn’t correct. It sounded great but Paul flicks all the strings with his pointer finger. Even he says most covers are wrong.
every guitar player has to learn how to play it correctly. i’m learning the right version/how paul plays it, so it kinda pains me how much people play it wrong
Great touch, calm and nice. You can see a lot of the guitarists personality when they play guitar. This guy is great!
Bloody great stuff m8. ! Thank you, from a Scotsman in New Zealand. Lovely playing.
From Brazil, thank you so much. Wonderful job Chris!
While my guitar gently weeps deserves to be in this short list
Mate I can't believe you only have 11k subscribers. I have learnt so much from you. Godspeed!
Truly unbelievable! Great Job !
Love the way you rock on that guitar it's really beautiful sounds.
Mesmerizing man!.
Thanks a lot
Man your guitar makes every song sound heavenly
mario alejandro cheers man
Just wonderful. Thank you
Keith Inscho you’re welcome
I was waiting for Julia and Yesterday, but the selection is wonderful... and blackbird is also my favorite!
I have never seen Norwegian Wood played in D before, I play it in G, good stuff. Blackbird spot on.
,
Norwegian Wood is in E (just like he did, but in another tune)
I play it in G due to my personal vocal range.@@ritteralvaro
@@socratease1432 oh, I do it in most songs too. I know what you mean. (sorry about my English, I'm brazilian lol)
Nothing wrong with your English language, enjoy the music. @@ritteralvaro
@@socratease1432 Thanks, it makes me feel so happy. Let's enjoy music.
Good list. I like "I've Just Seen a Face" and "When I'm 64" Also "We can work it out" . Thanks
Chad Andrews ‘we can work it out’ is mind blowing!
Chris - really nice playing here. You should have a couple of orders of magnitude more traffic and comments here. Keep it up!
Jimm Fox - thank you, I appreciate that.
Great job man. I cannot get Enough Beatles. Thank you. ❤️❤️

Also me: oh yes I must watch this
Turg? Nice of you to learn guitar along side kevin
@@elzar5987 I gave up on guitar, but we both play the ukulele :D
Congrats... you've nailed them!!
I think You like Rubber soul a Little bit lol
As one should
Rubber Soul does have a more acoustic friendly sound.
Same with the White Album.
there's no way someone can dislike rubber soul
Jaypi Yeipi probably because Rubber Soul has most of there acoustic prominent songs
@Zach Isley That's Revolver
Good job.....so many great tunes and interesting guitar parts.....I would also include 'Dear Prudence' with a drop D tuning
What model of Yamaha guitar are you using? Great tone!
Love your timing! Great playing!
Gotta have Dear Prudence in there. Hard song to play though! (I still haven't got it)
Excellent job Chris.
A couple of my favourites to play that you didn't include are,
If I fell & Hide your Love
Love to see your take on these two, so I can steal some stuff !
I'm still at the basic level and love all those little embellishments that you've mastered and make the playing sound so good.

here comes the sun is one i,m trying to copy
I love the way gmaj7 is played,just working on that little lick at the end,into the D chord ,Brilliant
Thanks a lot. Keep up the practising!
Surprised “Yesterday” wasn’t here
Same with Hard Days Night
I could play two songs from this already. 1.Blackbird 2. Here comes the sun. All really fun to play
Great. Except isn't Norwegian Wood capoed at fret 2?
Wayne Deadder it is, i forgot until after I recorded it. It’s no big deal...
Yeah, completely irrelevant. Unless you want to play along to the original recording.
wikichris true. However, he nails everything else so I thought that's what he was going for. Also, don't you think it's worth mentioning?
Wayne Deadder I didn’t but that’s because I have a pet hate for simple that think keys are important. Sorry.
wikichris songs never sound right in different keys to me. I'm a bit OCD and have been a pro musician for 35 years so I get fussy.
This is amazing. Can't wait to learn all of these.
I do be playing im looking through you all day haha
Anthony Matthews always been a favourite of mine
I like playing that one slower
i thank you so much for this video. i got stuck in a rut for a while, and now i got stuff to learn :D thanks again
Acoustic Douche anytime! Glad I helped you out in some way.
Great list. But where is yesterday? I subscribed
F1zZl1zZ where is many other Beatles songs? The list could have been endless. Maybe I’ll do another much bigger list.
Yesterday is played on the bass
Wanmohan yesterday played on the acoustic guitar
Beautifully played.
