"every rock song is the son of a Beatles song" Brilliant, mate!
Bennett Zucker
I'm a believer in the idea that
Helter Skelter was the first heavy metal song.
Personally, after watching all these how's it done vids I am convinced that with the tapes constantly rolling between takes even, George Martin captured the F add 9, the bass D AND a D chord variation by accident.
Good on ya, Mike! How about I Need You and.. Paul's famous fuzz bass song too!
@@OthO67 who cares, metal sucks, its for guys who can't solo on a 12 bar blues, right?
@@silvermanewesleyjohn2844 of COURSE it wasn't an accident
I am a big fan of the Beatles... The first time I heard the Beatles songs, I thought they were just what we call "three chord songs". But the more I hear the more difficult and complexed the chords and the way they played... The lads are genuinly fabalous...Thanks Mike you have opened my ears so clearly....
Sometimes I have this strange feeling that you know more about the Beatles' songs than the Beatles themselves did. I'm obsessed with them too so thank you very for the lessons Mike! They are most appreciated.
true true true . . He KNOWS MORE . . . .
I am not a guitarist but watching these videos gives me a whole new appreciation for the Beatles great music. Well done Mike.
ELI MXP I agree 100%
I agree w you...but this is way over my head
ELI, what instrument(s) do you play, if you’re a musician?
Same here. I avoided them for too long.
ELI MXP This was 1964. Isn’t that something.
Mike, have you've ever considered a career in criminal forensics? Seriously, your patience and reverse engineering is simply amazing. I know I speak for many Beatle fans who wish they had the resources, patience, time and technical ability to do what you do. Thanks for all these amazing deconstructions
David - Am I considering a "career?" I'm considering retirement!! :-)
Wow Mike, you blew my mind with the way to play the first chord accurately! I like how you not only teach the song but also the history of the Beatles, best Beatles guitar teacher ever.
This guys enthusiasm is infectious. It makes you want to pick up the guitar straight away. I haven’t played/recorded properly for a year or so. I’m now playing and recording again 😀
Mike pachelli is awesome. My rating is 100%.
The heart of a teacher. Great job. Appreciate it.
Oh man - I've been listening to the Beatles since 1962 and playing guitar versions of their songs since 1968. I cannot believe it's possible to so accurately deconstruct their playing the way you do. You, sir, are a genius and by that I mean "Thank you". :-)
Thank you for the kudos but I am in NO way, shape or form a "genius."

Mike's Tutorial is masterful. ~because he loves the music as we all do. You're certainly aware of Galleazzo Frudua. ~another Italian Beatles fan, but his specialty are the VOCALS. He nails `em just as YOU do the guitar parts. And you both seem to enjoy my favorite Beatles tunes. You're awesome.
... and the Best TH-cam Guitar Tutorial Video Of The Century Award goes to....
I have been hunting for this opening harmony for 50 years. I discovered You two weeks ago, Mike. Thanks and congratulations. Greetings from Hungary !!
Beautiful job, Mike. I especially liked the explanation of George's lead 'masquerading as triplets', but were actually 1/16 notes. I listened and, By Golly, you are right! Delightful epiphany there. Also, I very much liked your commentary near the end, before playing it through, where you talked about their confidence and exuberance which can be seen in the movie. Indeed...it can be seen and felt! Great job...you have inspired me to learn again even when I'm 64 (no, really...I am !).
Thanks for solving the opening mystery chord Mike. Now I can sleep at night!
Cool. Hahahah
You replied to my email about a teacher. Nobody out there is teaching like this. Counting out the time explaining the cords etc. thank you.
Mike pachelli is a Great Guy I worked with him 20 + years ago. He is Still Teaching us keep it up BIG MIKE !!!!
I gotta tell ya, having listened to the Beatles in my preteen years and watching them on Sullivan, this lesson on Hard Days Night, is one of the best and awesomely explained song I've viewed. Thank you !!!
How sick is it that Lennon knocks this off in one night for the film title and we are still fascinated by its construction 50 years later.
tod dubow Ringo had odd quotes which included this song and Eight Days A Week. John picked up on it and wrote a song on that..
Lol...he had musical talent no doubt.
Hoppe’s 9 Eight Day’s a Week was from a cab driver that Paul met.
Hoppe’s 9 those “odd quotes” are called “malapropisms” and Ringo had many. (I have often wondered if a wee bit of royalty money was ever offered to Ringo for his ... help.?)
“Tomorrow Never Knows” is one of my favourites. What is his best? (Or, will we ever know?🤩). Sir Macca says he does not believe he knows a hit anymore . He “just writes the songs, and [he] can’t tell if it’s good or great...” Does Ringo even notice how cool his vernacular is, or is he a musical Yogi Berra?
I am so happy that I was old enough to hear and appreciate these songs as they were played on the radio for the first time. Since the Beatles put out so much music, none of us had to wait very long to hear the next brilliant new song. No band set the bar this high in innovative music at the time. I can't begin to tell anyone the overwhelming feeling these songs had on all of us when they were fresh and new. Beatle mania is an experience i have never felt since that time. Unbelievable!
The first day I was in Vietnam 17 Jan. 1968 I heard this tune blasting out of a music shop in Nha Trang, the irony of The Beatles in an atmosphere of total cultural otherness was arresting and comforting.
Seeing them as a 5-year old changed me. My friends and I started our first garage band in ‘69. Never went very pro but it’s a lifelong thing. Trying to learn Julia at the moment and Mike does that up perfectly, of course.
Hey Mike, I am also a massive Beatles fan. I grew up in Liverpool and I play guitar but not to your standard. You have nailed this song ! Thank you. Brian. ps: I am off to play it now.
WOW, I didn't know that so much thought went into an almost inconsequential thing as the opening chord of one of the most famous Beatles song, which we all take for granted or don't even notice.
John, George Harrison, Paul and, in his own right as the Beatles' producer, George Martin, were ABSOLUTE GENIUSES who remain UNPARALLELED in the entire history of music.
This is fantastic! I actually learned to play guitar back in the early 70's from The Compleat Beatles (yes, spelled that way) songbook. I play George's part using a Rickenbacker 360/12 which really gives it a full tone and use my Casino for John's part. Your videos are fantastic and I've learned a lot in filling in the small nuances and alternate chording. My older brother, who plays bass, and I used to jam all night playing Beatles songs. Great stuff!
You sir, have taken me back to hanging out with my Sid Barret, who got me started playing guitar by teaching me Beatles songs... Bat shit crazy to this day, but an Artist's, Artist... Thank you!
Dude, massive props on all your Beatles vids. You are an amazing teacher and dissecting these timeless songs with upmost skill and reverence. Hats off!
Love how you put it all together at the end. You are the best Beatleologist I've ever seen by a long shot.
Thanks Kevin - you're too kind!
The opening chord is fantastic, isn´t it? Great lesson. Thanks for posting it.
Mike, I'm so happy to see somebody so completely explaining the creative genus of the Beatles. You really got into that first magically chord. Don't know how you can hear all that so well. Thanks Mike! The Beatles, with all the hype and Beatle mania, they deserved it all, they weren't over rated. Too good.
Thanks Lori - I was blessed (or sometimes it feels like cursed) with what my friends call 'bat ears.'
That breakdown of the opening chord was incredible. Talk about geeking out. I'm VERY impressed. THANK YOU!
I don't think i have ever learned a song that fast in my life, thank you Mike! Seriously you are so positive and just a joy to watch. I really enjoy your pure appreciation for The Beatles as well. As a young guitar player, your lessons really help me learn more of the tools of the trade and give me information on more chords and general technique and things to do. Thank you very much!
Really glad to hear that. All the best to you and your music!
Your detailed examination is forensic! Great work, I really, really enjoyed this. Thank you!
That was and still is haunting of awesome art, creative genius and skill. Thanks a lot for teaching it so well.
You are my hero! I've been 'playing' this music for 40+ years, but my appreciation level of it has deepened immensely, and now has colour because of these videos.
We absolutely love your videos. We're lifelong Beatles fans so seeing how your videos open us up to the musical intricacies of their musicianship and songwriting keeps us coming back. Learning their songs always opens up to new ideas we never considered before. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
I love the detail in these videos. So good to see quality Beatles song lessons
I have never found a guitar teacher like Mike in my life.
Greatly appreciated!!!
Mike, you're definitely a living Bible of Beatles's songs🎼!
Nicely done. The most accurate rendition of this iconic song I’ve ever seen.
Fantastic analysis, and fantastic lesson, just like all of Mike's lessons. THANK YOU!!
Mike Pachelli. thank you for the amazing breakdown of this song. looking forward to see more of the beatles songs.
Thanks, Mike. I love these Beatle lessons. You do a great job!
Mike you are so inspiring the way you teach THANK YOU
Hey Mike, what a blast. I'm a big Beatles fan too, but "A Hard Day's Night" wasn't one of my favorites until now. You really rocked it.
,Mike .... your a complete joy . I love everything you do ! You have a magic about you that’s very very rare . Only known of you for a few days but I’m hooked ......please keep it up because your making all the difference x
Mike that is very informative had no idea how complicated and instrumental these songs were.you really know your music and enjoyed watching this video.your truly brilliant in your ways.
Mike, you’re a awesome guitarist, I can see that you put your heart and soul into each video that you produce. Thanks for sharing your talent and help teach us new chords that I am not familiar with. Learning is the key to expanding the mind !
i watched a video of the beatles playing this and you can see john playing the chords. they looked so at ease and enjoying themselves and very professional.
Mike really great job explaining John's amazing talent. Your insight is fascinating. Keep 'em coming!
Mike Excellent lesson, I have a whole new appreciation for A Hard Days Night it was one of the great John Lennon's songs I've always wanted to learn! Thanks!
Another great great tute Mike! Very much appreciated plus the Beatle insights are fascinating 😄😄😄 Thanks so much!
Yeah, so much detail; thanks so much for sharing. It is a beautiful lesson! Timeless indeed.You are a true master!!!
it an engeniring chord , tricky Beatles awesome stuff G.Martin was consider to be the 5th Beatles by the fact he was a pianist and played on some tunes for numerous albums thanks Mike excellent job
Killer Beatles breakdown Mike... thank you!
You're the best. Keep rocking Mike !
Learned a few little things I've been doing wrong for years and years. Little things that make such a difference. Thanks, Mike!
The Beatles are what really started me on guitar.This was such an informative lesson.Great to see someone who took the time to break it down.You could not ask for more.Thank You!!!!
You are most welcome - and yea - me too. The Beatles changed my world also!
Great job Mike...those little nuances really make a difference...thanks🎸👍🏻
Another great lesson Mike. Timeless is the word. Thanks.
Absolute beatles style playing...... can't find anywhere else..... thnk u so much
Mike, I agree, The Beatles music is timeless! Thank you for sharing!
Outstanding !!! Excellent breakdown !! More please!!!
I can imagine how helpful this is for a young guitarist especially one who doesn't possess a good ear to find these notes out him or herself. You would have made my life so easy back in 66 and my first band so much better!
You re a good man Mike, thanks for all your efforts!
I love your lessons and appreciate your contibutions ..Thanks!!!
Bravo Mike! 'And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make!' :)Thanks so much.
Not that they need their memory keeping alive, you do a sterling job, a wealth of info and a passion for their music. Keep up the good work.
What a wonderful lesson and what a wonderful gift to your viewers...Well done
What a great lesson, that intro chord has puzzled many for years, I do believe you have got it as good as it was. Thank you.
Don't know where to begin. Me too!!!
Love your take on the Beatle people!!!
Very nicely constructed and you communicate your ideas very well ...Thanks Mike
I really enjoy your lessons Mike. I’m 72 and always waited to hear what they come up with next.Ringo played great drum parts that always complimented the song. I started as a drummer and played my brothers guitars and bass so I have a love of all the instruments and songs.Keep it up my friend.
Me too...lol
Love all of your videos on Beatles music. You're an excellent teacher!
Thanks! I love doing the videos!!
Mike, you are fab! Your lessons are accurate but you go beyond music theory. You include the history of the songs & of the times they were written. For me it's a trip down memory lane and a musical appreciation class. All thumbs up buddy.. GROOVY MAN!! p.s. don't stop
brilliant lesson and knowledge as always. best Beatles lessons anywhere.
Thanks! That's VERY kind of you to say.
Always good content, Mike. You're the best!
Thanks for even more inspiring moves, Mike...
Great Job Mike ! So interesting to hear the how and the why of the Beatles song collaborations. Keep this up please.
Cool Mike...you bring the Beatles songs to life++
I am glad you are out there explaining the Beatles music. It is fun watching you have fun.
Yeah! ;-)
Well done! The nearest yet. Thanks for posting.
Fabulous video, Mike! So thoughtfully written and demonstrated, with incredibly high production values...just a superb video. Thanks!
Amazing videos Mike. Keep doing that. You spend a lot of time doing resources for this wonderful videos of Beatles songs. Incredible. Congrats
wow This has been most helpful. Love the breakdown of the opening cord! It starts the song off on the right "foot".
Fascinating, Mike. Brilliant analysis and lesson.
Like your work and your passion for the Beatles and the era Mike. Great stuff
Awesome explanation of the "mystery chord"!
Excellent...Thank you very much for the lesson and the history...Cheers Bob
I‘m sitting here with my cat in my sunny kitchen in Berlin, having a late breakfast and enjoying every moment of your nice tutorial! Thank you!
You are most welcome and nice imagery. Glad I could brighten up your breakfast!
Thank you. Great ear!. I been playing since 1967 and that first chord has always been a HUGE mystery. The Beatles could always make special sounds and blends at the right timing to make any song so that it grabbed you. Pure genius talent.
I love this kind of videos! thank you for all the effort
SO glad I subscribed a while back and caught this
a-freakin-mazin!! I always wondered about that opening chord !!!!! tyvm
You do such an admirable job breaking down the songs it is a joy to watch.
Thank you. I am humbled by your kind words!
Your a good teacher mike,keep up the great work mate as a drummer myself I enjoyed the ride mate.Cheers from Australia mate.
Amazing work!!! Thank you for sharing it...
Excellent explanation and bang on from what my ears tell me--I puzzled over that opening chord and never got it--now I know why! Two Thumbs up Mike--thanks!
Love this man, thrilled.
Mike, Awesome job. I now listen completely differently. Having been on the road most of my life or playing local, I didn't have the time nor the ear to pull these songs apart. Thanks and job well done
I fell into the TH-cam vortex and this video showed up in the suggestions on the right side of the screen. Always loved AHDN, so I eagerly checked it out. Excellent, informative explanation of the opening chord, and how to come up with a very reasonable facsimile for playing live! It's so cool when different instruments and finger positions can supply bits & pieces of a 'sound' that combine for what can only be described as 'The total is greater than the sum of the parts!'
I also enjoyed your comments about the chords that John & George played, as well as a demonstration of suggested rhythms for strumming them. Makes for a pretty faithful rendition, even with the omission of of a 12-string. Wonderful job!
I was pleased to see that you also tackled the solo. The 'tricky part' is one that I've long been fascinated with. I play guitar - sorta - and have had a stab or two at this solo, but never really plunged into it, mainly because my ears have always deceived me when I try to break it down. Your explanation - '16th notes masquerading as triplets' - sums it up very nicely! I don't know if that's a precise, technical certainty, but it's better than I would've come up with, had I tried to explain it to someone. All I can say is, whenever I've tried to play it, it comes out sounding like triplets, no matter how hard I try to avoid that. And that's also what I hear when you demonstrate how you play it. You count it out plausibly, but it still comes out sounding like triplets (to me) when I hear you play it.
I thought that it may sound closer in context, when played against the backing track - maybe another instrument or percussive element might supply a stray beat that makes me hear it the way it sounds on the original recording. Alas, it's just not there for me. It sounds a little bit 'short', for lack of a better term. The first time more so than the 2nd. But it's very, very close, and I'll try to get there, myself, one of these days.
There's a similar situation in another one of my favorite 60's songs -- Time Won't Let Me, by The Outsiders. Al Austin's brief solo features a section that guitarists covering the tune almost always play as triplets when covering it. But I hear something different, and after a long study, came up with something that sounds more like what was actually played. I exchanged messages with Bill Bruno, who toured with The Outsiders in the 60s, and he told me how he played it. Then I heard a version that he put together, himself, and it didn't sound right. Maybe there something wrong with my ears, LOL!
Sorry to be so wordy, but I love talking about this stuff with other guitar players. You've done a marvelous job on this song. I've subscribed to your channel and will be checking out some more of your work very soon.
Hey Mike. Absolutely amazing. Your understanding of their music is really something. On the surface and to the unenlightened ear (as ours were back in those days) the songs appeared simple. How wrong we were! I used to notice their chords looked different and now I know why. Thanks for all the incredible effort you put into this. These lesson are mind-expanding!
