I didn't know about the capo, because I learned the song by watching them do it live. John doesn't use a capo when he plays it on the 325. But the capo definitely is the sound on the record. Thanks.
Magic. It was magic. Everybody else made music, and some of it was very good. Only the Beatles made magic. To this day nobody knows where it came from.
Possibly my all-time favorite Beatles song. The blending of each of their individual instrumental arrangements, coupled with those killer harmonies makes the brain spring an endorphin leak, every time. After 56 years, I STILL get chills every time I hear this song.
@@graemed3012 You know exactly that feeling I'm talking about, Graeme. The hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when I hear it. I return to this Mike Pachelli "How To" lesson every now and then to re-watch it. Fantastic video!
@@papadave6800 you are not alone - I saw them in 64 live in Vancouver, this music has never been touched by any other group - all these yrs ago till today
Mr. Pachelli, to LONG-time Beatles fanatics like me, you are a GIFT. Showing us all the intricacies of their guitar work has been eye-opening and immensely pleasurable. As a very bad (unpracticed) guitarist, I've been casually playing Beatles stuff for about 45 years, and I learn many new things from you in every single video. THANK YOU for your INCREDIBLE dedication to your craft and insane attention to detail. It is very VERY appreciated!
Mike Pachelli...."The Sixth Beatle"!!!... The Beatles music will live in infami. What friggen music Geniuses of that era, making some of the most complex Rock music that ive ever seen, absolutely in a class all their own. Thanks for sharing your Gift with us Mike,You Rock!!!!✌🙏
During his solo career a studio guitarist arrived and Lennon instructed "just don't play too many notes." That simple advice was the one of the primary secrets of the Beatle's success.
Just wanted to add in 1978 I was 8 and my Mom, bless her,brought me to the local Peaches record store and I purchased Let it Be and Abbey Road. This started me on a lifelong love of all things Beatles which continues to this very day .So glad to find a kindred soul who is so musically gifted to share my passion. Love your channel Mike.
Mike- completely brilliant job on your part and it never ceases to amaze me that guys in their 20's had such sophistication in their playing and arrangements. Truly mind blowing.
Wow! Is this not a magical song, with that solo, with those voices? It's unreal! So well done. Great to hear that bassline, louder and clearer than the original .
I must say that not only is this one of the GREATEST Beatles songs ever but it is in my opinion one of the GREATEST songs of all time. And of course you're breakdown of the song is genius. Thank you so much for this. Cheers form Ottawa, Canada.
If I had these lessons when I was 17, I might have had a musical career instead of a utility worker for 38 years. I'm 71 now and still love watching your tutorials. Thanks. Tom H., New York.
Back in the Sixties, we played it in E. Our lead player had a Fender Telecaster, ran it through Fender Twin Reverb and it sounded perfect. I played Gibson EB-2 bass through a Fender Bassman with two 12" JB Lansing (after installed). A favorite of mine.
Wow! I so much enjoy your lessons and historical facts behind their brilliant playing and singing which, by the way, you so masterfully reproduce on both counts. To this day, I've never seen such brilliantly made videos about the Beatles' songs and their playing them.
As always, right on the money Mike. You astound me in the back story details on how these wonderful songs evolved. And you musical skills are flawless. Plus you have met and touched 2 of the Beatles in the flesh. That makes you a Demi god in the Beatle world. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas holiday. And thanks for my present. Nowhere man.
Well done, Mike. I have for years marveled at just how layered and utterly complete this song is. It's one of my favorites, Thanks for the breakdown. Keep up the great work!
Man, I've watched hundreds of your videos related to the Beatles, and I'm always amazed at the background info you provide to these iconic songs that mean so much to me. Thank you.
SUPER, Mike ...everything well executed and defined for the guitar on my favorite Beatles song...and you even double track and harmonize wonderfully to make it as close as them...you're a joy to watch and to learn to play these songs...Almost bringing tears to my eyes...everyone in their right mind owe you a big Thanks for making it easier to learn them ...LET IT BE KNOWN ...!!
Who would take offense to being copared to Bob Ross? What an awesome man. I've watched him for hours just to mellow me out and to marvel at his ¨turning nothing into something¨ with absolutely no intention of ever picking up a brush myself.
Excellent Mike just EXCELLENT! I've always loved Harrison's solo riff in this song and now I know how it was done. I always thought it was a little bell that someone hit at the end of the solo riff I was surprised to discover it was done on his guitar. Damn George was good. ^_^
Great breakdown as usual. The Beatles were streets ahead of other groups around at that time with their complex chords. We copied their songs only using basic major , minor and 7th chords - no wonder we sounded so bad but the songs carried us through. Thanks Mike
“I’m that kind of whack-a-doodle.” And please keep being that! Another excellent video and history of a classic Beatles song. One of my favorites. Thanks Mike!
I agree, it is a great bass line. Its melodic, improvisational and complements the song. It’s interesting how Paul played so many 8th note syncopations on the + of 4 throughout the song. It’s something that only he did, everyone else is on the beat but it works so well! Maybe he had been listening to some Motown and James Jameson recently, lol
Thank you so much for this. I am especially grateful for the George Harrison riffs. I just love George more and more as time goes on. I’m hoping for a Pachelli treatment for I Me Mine if you ever feel up to it. No other vids seem to nail it and I know you’d get it spot on. Thanks again for all your Beatles instructional videos. You are appreciated!!!!
Mike you sure do know how to play Beatles' songs just like they played em. Great lesson. I learned quite a lot and saw a number of things I wasn't playing correctly.
Once again Mike a wonderful surgical dissection of the song that brings so much out of the genius that created it. I was 15 years old when Rubber Soul came out and it has to be one of my favourite albums of all time. I think it was a watershed point from the early Beatles work to the later songs.
You are appreciated Mike. I try to learn one everyday.I knew many of these because the "garage band" I was in played a lot of them (wrongly) I played bass for a country band once, The bass part on this song really sets it apart. I dont normally give Paul the credit he deserves on the Hofner.
@@MPfrance So Glad I came across your page & only wish you were around when I was a Kid in the 60's trying to learn this stuff!!! Better late than never at 67!!! Cheers again!
Fantastic. Love your videos Mike! BTW, what I love most about this awesome song is the bassline (from Paul I presume) that just serves the song so incredibly well. A masterpiece.
Fantastic again Mike. How you can hear it, play it and video it so well is incredible. I have new respect for the ripping bass line which sounds a bit clearer than the original recording.
Best tutorial on the net. Super Important always to practice slow….real slow, untill every note is stored in our brain in the right order. The pattern of the finger moves are also important information, that is stored simultaniously. That method makes the difference between the amateur and the pro. Per in Denmark. Guitar player since 1964. 😎🇩🇰
Absolutely beautiful! You show exactly the magic of the Beatles. 4 units into one. Also Mike you are a great musician. I love the last part of your videos where you make it all come together.. no pun intended 😁 . Great video! 👍
Thank you Mike, I find it amazing how you get all your facts, and play The Beatles songs so eloquently, I had this song going through my head for days, now I know how to play this Classic track, thank you ❤❤😂😂🎉
@Jessica - You are most welcome but it's truly not that "amazing." I simply research on the web and in books quite extensively. And truth-be-told - I forget most of the "facts" the very next day. I'm just reading off of my notes when I video the lesson. And if you knew how many hours it takes for me to do the sound-alike - you'd probably say I had a learning disorder!!
I always thought that THIS was the game changer song by John, but this is written at the time along with In My Life and Norwegian Wood. Minor substitution chords are happening all over Rubber Soul by all writers. NM is VERY Byrd-like as are many songs during this period. The vocal line however becomes Beach Boy-like. The sound is getting thicker. Hey Mike, really LOVE your penchant for detail with these analysis pieces. You get into the nuances of the playing and voicings.
Thanks Mike! Great lesson; I tried this with bass on Garageband & it sounds great! I found the bassline the hardest thing in this song, so I had to refer to 'Lefty Bassman' on TH-cam. You're a wonderful teacher/ communicator & a marvelous talent! cheers for now, Mike Evans😊
Mike is the most accurate Beatles cover player I've ever seen.
better than the original 🤠
The detailed accuracy Mike displays is AWESOME!!!
Remarkably helpful. Thanks so much!
I didn't know about the capo, because I learned the song by watching them do it live. John doesn't use a capo when he plays it on the 325. But the capo definitely is the sound on the record. Thanks.
@@richarddapollo8790 I just got that also - Thanks Mike for explaining that
Never gets old. How those guys came up with these songs. A gift from God.
And so deceptively basic..
@@duffbaker9554 That,s the Genious in it
Magic. It was magic. Everybody else made music, and some of it was very good. Only the Beatles made magic. To this day nobody knows where it came from.

You are so right Papa Dave! Its such a great song,I get chills when i hear it too.56 years...unbelievable...i'll never get tired of it.
Loved that song since I first heard it at 7 years old.
@@graemed3012 You know exactly that feeling I'm talking about, Graeme. The hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when I hear it. I return to this Mike Pachelli "How To" lesson every now and then to re-watch it. Fantastic video!

Damn, I could watch these all day. I dare anyone to find a better Beatles teacher on the net. Years of shared joy.
What can I say, Mike?
You’re a 1 Man-Beatle Band. Can’t thank you enough for all your amazing, perfect lessons
Thank you again Mike. No body does these music break downs better than you.

Keep it simple stupid and it’s not what you play it’s what you don’t play. As a musician I have heard and said this countless times.
It was on Double fantasy
John told the bass session player....
Don't play too many notes...
Mike, we really appreciate that you go to so much treble to show us these guitar parts accurately.
Just wanted to add in 1978 I was 8 and my Mom, bless her,brought me to the local Peaches record store and I purchased Let it Be and Abbey Road. This started me on a lifelong love of all things Beatles which continues to this very day .So glad to find a kindred soul who is so musically gifted to share my passion. Love your channel Mike.
Rubber Soul was released as an album in Canada in 1965. My parents gave it to me for Christmas - I still have it!
Some people would say you're obsessed Mike but never mind there's worse things to be obsessed about. Keep going mate.
Mike- completely brilliant job on your part and it never ceases to amaze me that guys in their 20's had such sophistication in their playing and arrangements. Truly mind blowing.
Absolutely nailed the vocals on this, start to finish. The backing vocals really breathe life into this song-- love it!
…and Geronimo123, I’ve have (attempted) sung these vocals for years, and they are not easy at all!
Another great example of the subtle little things George did that added so much! 👍👍
You obviously put a tremendous amount of time and work into these videos - it is very much appreciated.
Jack- Thanks! It's nice of you to notice and say so.
Another great lesson, Mike! As always the back story and attention to detail in your lessons is greatly appreciated.
They always popped in a chord that just added that bit of brilliance to their songs. The Gm is gold!
Wow! Is this not a magical song, with that solo, with those voices? It's unreal! So well done. Great to hear that bassline, louder and clearer than the original .
Ola - Thanks and yeah - isn't it a pity how SO many great parts of Beatles' songs are buried in the mix...
I must say that not only is this one of the GREATEST Beatles songs ever but it is in my opinion one of the GREATEST songs of all time. And of course you're breakdown of the song is genius. Thank you so much for this. Cheers form Ottawa, Canada.
Gio - Thanks for those kind words and Yeah - those young lads were genius composers!
@@MPfrance Mike, your drumming is not too shabby. You real nail the Ringo parts and sound.
That higher pitch they manage on the guitar was something else! Never heard anything since like it!!
If I had these lessons when I was 17, I might have had a musical career instead of a utility worker for 38 years. I'm 71 now and still love watching your tutorials. Thanks. Tom H., New York.
Keep on going , Tom!!
Oh my,,
The beatles's songs never get old...
What a band indeed...
Thankyou Sir Mike ...

I remember 1965-66 just because of this song.
Thanks for the bringing out the best of the Beatles!
I’ve never seen a more thorough and well-designed tutorial. This should be a template for all tutorials. Bravo, man!
As always, right on the money Mike. You astound me in the back story details on how these wonderful songs evolved. And you musical skills are flawless.

One of the greatest songs from the Fab Four. One of the greatest songs of our time.
Well done, Mike. I have for years marveled at just how layered and utterly complete this song is. It's one of my favorites, Thanks for the breakdown. Keep up the great work!
I have no idea how to play or intend to, but I find it fascinating how these magical Beatles songs were put together. Thank you.
Fabulous... You really get these spot on! I always look forward to the next one. Thanks Mike
Andrew - and there's More to come!
@@MPfrance Love the top hat Mike! Happy Holidays!

One of my very favorite songs by The Beatles. Thanks for all these cool details. Still diggin' it in 2022. Cheers.
Now you’ve hit the big time, Mike! The Beatles and John Lennon Facebook pages posted links to this video!
I mean this as the greatest of compliments: you are the Bob Ross of Beatles’ tutorials. So much love, joy and happiness. It’s infectious. Thank you!
I agree, and all the people of my age (the youngest of boomers) say the same thing!
Who would take offense to being copared to Bob Ross? What an awesome man. I've watched him for hours just to mellow me out and to marvel at his ¨turning nothing into something¨ with absolutely no intention of ever picking up a brush myself.
@@jaelge I know hipster artists that looked down on him as popular, garbage for the masses.
Who's Bob Ross?

Yet another insightful and informative analysis of a great Beatles song, Mike. One of my favorites.
Wow, your hard study and work on detail really pays off! Sounds great!
Thanks so much!
“I’m that kind of whack-a-doodle.”
And please keep being that!
Another excellent video and history of a classic Beatles song. One of my favorites. Thanks Mike!
You don´t know how I love your lessons. Great Mike, you´re the best. Long live The Beatles music.
Always love your positive vibe on all of your very precise playing and explanations. Thanks!
Mike, I really appreciate the *tremendous* amount of work you put into your videos.
What a great bass line to this song.
And with the more recent mixes you can actually hear it - it was originally so buried in the mix I couldn't make half of it out.
I agree, it is a great bass line. Its melodic, improvisational and complements the song. It’s interesting how Paul played so many 8th note syncopations on the + of 4 throughout the song. It’s something that only he did, everyone else is on the beat but it works so well! Maybe he had been listening to some Motown and James Jameson recently, lol

You are appreciated!!!!
Seconds on the "I, Me, Mine" tutorial!
Mike, this video brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for all you do and share with us.
Wow! Your insights are so cool! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
Mike you sure do know how to play Beatles' songs just like they played em. Great lesson. I learned quite a lot and saw a number of things I wasn't playing correctly.
wow!...Mike Pachelli...I remember your local tampa area show when I was at USF back in the 89s!
Great! This cleared up a lot of things up for me! Love the backstories in these lessons...I could watch them just for that!
Once again Mike a wonderful surgical dissection of the song that brings so much out of the genius that created it. I was 15 years old when Rubber Soul came out and it has to be one of my favourite albums of all time. I think it was a watershed point from the early Beatles work to the later songs.
John - Yeah - Rubber Soul is still a fantastic album to listen to!
So many great great Beatles songs, this is one of the best. Thanks Mike great job, we will try to play it next time at my Brother in laws when we jam.
Mike you ROCK!

Yaron Ilani, I too agree Paul’s bassline to be an incredible, integral piece to this rocker of a song.
I love it too. It's such a fun, happy, playful, upbeat bass part - the perfect counterpoint to the subject matter!
My favorite solo. Pure homage to the song.
Fantastic again Mike. How you can hear it, play it and video it so well is incredible. I have new respect for the ripping bass line which sounds a bit clearer than the original recording.
in a word brilliant. The song, the breakdown, and sound-a-like -- thanks, Mike!
My #1 favourite Beatles’ tune ever since my 9 year old self brought home the 45 in ‘66. Thanks for the lesson.

Extraordinary dedication to analyze and inform, Mike! God bless ya! Paul singing E to A to G# in the final vocal thrills me to bits!
One of my favorite songs to play on my guitar!! Thanks for posting!!
My pleasure!

You are the source for proper Beatle technique! Damm you're good!
What a terrific and versatile musician you are Mike.
RUBBER SOUL, my favorite Beatles album with Nowhere Man and I'm Looking Through You showcasing John and Paul at their pinnacle (just my opinion).
Your transcription of the piano solo on In My Life is masterful!
Great song and interesting to see and hear the breakdown. The history is also cool. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it

Enjoyed it.
Another Beatles Pearl..
Thank you Mike! Greetings from Italy
What a gorgeous sound on that acoustic!
Mike great breakdown and enjoy the history behind how it was recorded.
Brilliant Mike thanks again saw the video of you Keaggy and Stonehill playing this absolute great
Love your enthusiasm throughout both the instructions and playing
Quel beau travail vous faites M. Pachelli. Bravo 🙌
