The 2nd little triad chord is Dadd9 (not same shape as 1st chord D6); the 3rd of the chord is F# on the 3rd string 11th fret, not the G on the 12th. Try it; sounds like the recording.
If you’re new to this picking pattern, and you’re trying to get it down, I recommend practising for half an hour and then giving yourself a break for half an hour or so before coming back to it. I found that when I came back to it, I had internalised the pattern in the muscles and it was easier. What a beautiful song; definitely worth learning 😊 everything about it is positive from the beautiful imagery in the lyrics to this wonderful guitar line. It’s just a completely positive song on all levels.
He’s so right: the beauty of that one added sliding note in the beginning elevates the piece and illustrates how the Beatles put magic into the song to tug at the listener’s heart and pull them in, wanting more. Geniuses, they were.
I was a luthier in a NYC shop that Joe Walsh frequented a lot. One day he picked up an old Martin and played this song, sounded like Angels. He told me he spent quite a bit of time an effort to play this song. Years later George Harrison told him it was all done with 2 guitars. Joe joked that he spent all this time working it out only to find out it was 2 guitars playing simple passages.
Yet it has the exact same picking pattern as Julia.....with a couple very minor tweaks where you change it in 1 or 2 places for a beat, they both have the same right hand. I wonder if the story of Donovan teaching John Lennon the picking pattern is true then?? The Beatles layered a lot...I wouldn't be surprised if Lennon had laid it down in this style, then Harrison added some slide stuff to it later. The 2 guitar thing sounds good, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were done on different tracks, and one just accented what was doing done originally. Both are gone, so I guess we'll never know 100% how they layered it.
I heard an interview with Donovan a couple of years ago, when he mentioned that he taught John to play in that "claw hammer" style, when they were learning TM in India.
Wish I knew which one and where, cause SOMETHING doesn't sound right, but I can't pinpoint it. The first one he plays sounds off to me. I'm probably wrong, but it's driving me nuts. That first chord just doesn't sound right to me for some reason.
The only difference I saw on this from what I've always played is on the G chord....looks like he frets x55033 and I fret 550033, after moving from D to C to G at the end of the verse. But he changes the picking pattern so it sounds fine. Remember it's drop D tuning.
Been playing almost exactly this way for years....very minor difference in like 2 spots, like when I play a G at the end of the verse, I pick up the low E on the 6th fret because the drop D, 330066. I like keeping the picking pattern true that way. Also, the same "picking pattern" as Julia for the majority of the tune, except for one part where it changes for a walk down but goes right back. Glad to see others playing it this way!! The intro is so nice, when doing it solo, I like to repeat the intro between verses....also gives me time to remember words if I forget. lol Just "Travis Picking"....just learn the picking pattern. The chord shapes are easy for this tune....Julia has a lot more stretching, but same pattern. Lennon plays on Julia, buried on the first track, and you need to hear the raw track to hear him play it. Lennon was supposedly spending a weekend with Donovan, and Donovan was playing some travis style, and Lennon liked it so much, he wound up writing 3 songs with the same picking style!!!!
If you listen to the original recording it is definitely played on 2 guitars. The bass string runs are a different tone entirely to the higher strings just for starters.... completely different tone.....listen to it. This number is by far my favourite song of all time....not just fav Beatles number but fav number full stop. Number 2 is Brown Sugar by the Stones....IMHO greatest rock number ever recorded. Those were the days of song writers and musicians....long gone now
thank you very much for this wonderful picking lesson. dear prudence has always been among my most beloved beatles songs, the song is so incredible beautiful and the whole story surrounding the song is just magical. kindest regards from austria, stay safe and healthy in these rough times (november 2021) ☮
Your tutorials are amazing! You are clearly an excellent musician, vocalist. Certainly, your love and respect for the Beatles pours out of each post. I play bass and guitar and so appreciate your talent.
I've noticed a lot of players doing this will pick up their middle finger on the F#, 1st string, when playing the bass rundown, but that F# has to be kept in their like a pedal tone. Good job!! I love the slides. They talk about a 2nd guitar, and I would guess the Donovan story is true, and Lennon played exactly what you're playing, maybe without the slides, and Harrison came over that with the slides.
Thanks for you videos! A nice variation on Travis picking. Donovan taught Lennon this in India and John was mesmerized by it. The Beatles recorded several Lennon songs with this picking pattern after that. Dear Prudence, Happiness Is A Warm Gun and of course Julia. :
I have only been playing for a little over 2 months but thought i might give this song a go, the beatles and this song in particular are what made me want to learn. But everyone made it look way harder than it is (the right handed part) and i couldnt figure it out. So today i watched your video guitar in hand and learned the intro in a couple of hours, still getting faster but almost there. Thank you so much!!! I hope to play the whole song by the end of the month! Not many 15 year old beginners can say they can play Dear Prudence xD
Enjoyed this very much! Your teaching style makes it easy to pick up and play this great music. Plus, getting the nuances down in tone, attack and delay puts these tutorials above anything else out there!
Ciao, ti ho scoperto da poco, oltre ad essere un eccelso insegnante sai trasmettere lo spirito contenuto in questa fantastica musica senza tempo. Grazie per questo Galeazzo
Thanks for this your video made the most sense. I have only been learning for 2 months but have almost mastered the intro, you are very discriptive with the finger picking, makes it much easier then what everybody else says. Peace and Love
The last part of the video, only for true beatlemaniacs, you don't get that kind of advice on other tutorials, Lennon was a genius, you said that. Thank you :)
New subscriber here - questo va molto bene! I've been playing for decades and notice that my versions drift away from the originals all the time. This is to be expected, but seeing how they actually played it gave me a lot of insight. The only suggestion I have is that you could simplify the explanation by referring to the chords by name after describing the fingering just once, such as "this is a G played like an open D on the 7th fret" and so on.
I'm keyboard, not guitar. But this is so-called "Travis picking", I believe (right?), a method of guitar picking John learned quite quickly from Donovan in India.
Excellent work - as always, so grateful for your time/energy/passion. I've been performing this one w/ our band and can't wait to work on some subtle improvements.
Galeazzo, this is perhaps my favorite video you've ever posted -- I've tried to learn the clawhammer method of playing used here for a long time, and watching you I *finally* have it. Thank you SO MUCH!
Very good tutorial sir, thank you! I discovered the channel by the videos of vocal analysis and subscribed right after the First watch. It is very nice to see a large Number of guitar tutorials on the Beatles' music as well, and this one is one of my High valued masterpieces of John Lennon's composing genius. My one and only minor ''complain" is that you didn't get Technical with the sort of the chords at the beggining, at the High fret positions and the bridge, and didn't talk much about how the ranks of the leading harmony (probably here in D) come into play. It was mostly about finger placing and fret numbering, but as you have proven with your highly advanced vocal videos it could be a bit more analytic.But apart from that, your videos are Near perfection! Your passion is shared as your manners make it flow out of your tutorials, and also the inner appreciation and love for their ingenius compositions here in the Web Community. Saluti dalla Grecia!
This tge 2nd time I've seen this guy...he did a video on how to set up a stratocaster....probably 7 yrs ago....I've probably owned 5 since...3 Mexican..Squire, and 90' Eric Clapton Artist Series before the custom shop,....Anyway...very knowledgeable on the setup, action, intonation...floated tremelo...or blocked....I suggest highly if your a strat owner. ✌
Nice video. I really like how you piece it together. There are some who can play and some who can teach. Not all who play can teach. You can play and teach. :-) It is so simple once you get the syncopation down of the thumb and fingers. At first, of course, it seems awkward. Perseverance is the key. Thanks!
I play and sing this song and always skipped the intro / outro until now I got it thanks! The droning aspect is interesting. When I hit position 0, where the video is at ~11:30, my left hand cant do what he does, so I play a MUCH easier compromise way : D D7 Gmaj7/D Daug only using the first three strings which looks like: 232, 212, 002, 332 and sounds good to me. Its not spot on but pretty close and when Im singing and playing, I need to conserve some of my limited brain power. After one verse I drop the picking and just strum that. BTW Its about Mia Farrow's sister Prudence Farrow in India who wouldnt come out of her tent she was meditating so much.
Thanks, Galeazzo! That was an excellent tutorial on one of my favorite songs. Very clear and precise. This is one of the first songs I learned when I started teaching myself to play guitar 7 years ago. My technique on this song has changed several times over the years as I learned more and grew more comfortable with my instrument, but still is not 100% exact, maybe 90-95% since I picked it out by ear instead of having instructions, and I like to give other artist's songs my own twist and therefore rarely attempt to play anything exactly like the original. I came on here to brush up and polish my Prudence licks because my 11 year old is having a talent show at her school in which she is supposed to sing, and she asked me to come and accompany her on guitar. This is her favorite song in the world. Thank you for the great video! On a side note, are you from Russia? I saw a documentary a few years ago about Russian Beatles fans and apparently The Beatles are SUPER popular in Russia. Like, even more so than the West! Apparently they were banned during the Cold War because those in power(Kruschev?) believed them to be a bad influence on youth culture, promoting individuality and rebellion against authority; but everybody had bootleg albums and played Beatles songs on Balilaikas and whatnot. (I also play Balilaika.) The Beatles never played in the USSR, so it was a huge deal to everyone when Sir Paul played a show in Red Square a few years ago.
Oh, that's cool. I hope I didn't offend you by asking if you were Russian, I just couldn't place your accent. Anyways, I love the detailed way that you teach guitar on your videos. I will definitely check out the others that you have posted. Thanks for replying, and have a nice day!
Great work! Do you and your friend play out a lot? I can see your friend from the coffee shop has a likeness to Lennon. I want to contribute when i get some extra cash as your teaching is worth it and the time and quality of them are extraordinary!
Another amazing video! May I ask why you recommend fretting the 5-5-3 chord with middle-ring-index instead of ring-pinky-index? Ring-pinky-index feels more natural, but I'm sure you have a good reason for recommending middle-index-ring.
Never mind -- I think I've answered my own question. Playing it the way you recommend makes it easier to slide down from the previous chord. When I try to use my pinky, I often end up on the D and G strings instead of G and B.
I know this video is 6 years old but when the picking changes for those couple of chords, are you supposed to end on a G string instead of D like the regular fingerpicking pattern? Everywhere I look online it seems that all that changes is the removal of the E bass note in the pattern but not any other strings. Could someone please clarify if this was a mistake or correct, I'm a beginner, thanks!
Grazie mille! You are a great teacher and this lesson format is excellent! Have you done tutorials on Michelle, Blackbird, and Mother Natures' Son? :-)
THESE BEATLES LESSONS MAY END! PLEASE DONATE TO KEEP THEM ALIVE!: ➡ goo.gl/ldPTmk
The 2nd little triad chord is Dadd9 (not same shape as 1st chord D6); the 3rd of the chord is F# on the 3rd string 11th fret, not the G on the 12th. Try it; sounds like the recording.
@@pmurray8065 Not true---the video is correct!
The main riff is double tracked.

This man truly loves the Beatles, and I love him for that
I owe them everything!
He’s so right: the beauty of that one added sliding note in the beginning elevates the piece and illustrates how the Beatles put magic into the song to tug at the listener’s heart and pull them in, wanting more. Geniuses, they were.
String lubricant helps!
Something picked up on in the bass part later.
I was a luthier in a NYC shop that Joe Walsh frequented a lot. One day he picked up an old Martin and played this song, sounded like Angels. He told me he spent quite a bit of time an effort to play this song. Years later George Harrison told him it was all done with 2 guitars. Joe joked that he spent all this time working it out only to find out it was 2 guitars playing simple passages.
+Fred Garvin an amazing story worth sharing with the world.
thanks!
I've heard this story too. Only about And Your Bird Can Sing instead of Dear Prudence.
Yes. I think one of the others said the same.
did he say which part? it sounds like an overdubbed guitar playing just the top 2 notes of the D chord throughout the progression.
Yet it has the exact same picking pattern as Julia.....with a couple very minor tweaks where you change it in 1 or 2 places for a beat, they both have the same right hand. I wonder if the story of Donovan teaching John Lennon the picking pattern is true then??

I love when you slide from the 11th to the 9th fret. Oh my.
:)
By far the most heart filled Intense best lesson on the Internet Of Dear Prudence . I applaud you sir ! It worked for me !!!
TY friend, if it wasn't for the way you taught flat picking I would have never figured it out again ty so much.
Had to correct one chord on this one. Enjoy!
Wish I knew which one and where, cause SOMETHING doesn't sound right, but I can't pinpoint it. The first one he plays sounds off to me. I'm probably wrong, but it's driving me nuts. That first chord just doesn't sound right to me for some reason.

Thank you for noticing this :)
The best lesson ever, thank you for your time and patients.
That was amazing!!! very helpful and well explained. thank you so much :)
Your emphasis on the dynamics and crescendo of the part is spot on, thanks for illustrating that so clearly.
Glad you appreiated John :)

Thanks for this video, my first Travis picking lesson.
Sir you do the best job of showing the exact way. Your the best.
Excellent lesson. I like when you get into technique.
Thanks for taking the time..GREAT!! I have been playing it half assed for decades
Nice vid, I agree, this is the correct way to play DP in fact it's the way I've been playing it for 40years. Thanks for confirming it!
Your understanding and presentation is top quality. Thank you for sharing. More, more, bring us more!
Fantastic.....much appreciate your lessons and teaching style...

amazing tutorial!!!! I understood everything you're an amazing teacher, thanks a lot!!
I'm going to have to listen to this song at least 3 times in a row now.
Fine and accurate lesson here.
This is my first watch. Looking excellent and I have subscribed after three and a half minutes. Great stuff so far. Thanks and best wishes.

Thank you very much!
thank you so much your videos are incredible
Once again you prove how great you are !
Keep up ! :)
great lesson,easy to follow. thank you.
talos50 You're very welcome :)
Great lesson!
video fantastico, grazie
amazing lesson!great advice.
very nice tutorial. thank you.
Full play through!! Then break it down.
Looks like you changed your choice of voicing on the G chord of the verse?
Right :)
Great work! Do you and your friend play out a lot? I can see your friend from the coffee shop has a likeness to Lennon. I want to contribute when i get some extra cash as your teaching is worth it and the time and quality of them are extraordinary!
Best teacher ever!
I appreciate the explanations but it can be a bit much. Great song and thank you for the explanation.
Excellent video, thank you very much.
Gerard O'Rourke Grazie!
The Beatles Vocal Harmony God job , it's amazing
Fantastic lesson, fantastic!
Another amazing video! May I ask why you recommend fretting the 5-5-3 chord with middle-ring-index instead of ring-pinky-index? Ring-pinky-index feels more natural, but I'm sure you have a good reason for recommending middle-index-ring.
Never mind -- I think I've answered my own question. Playing it the way you recommend makes it easier to slide down from the previous chord. When I try to use my pinky, I often end up on the D and G strings instead of G and B.
the best, much appreciated. Yep, pinky over the D is hard... :)
I love your lesson, thank you, love the tone of your guitar too , which model?
+S St-Pierre It's an old Yamaha :)
+The Beatles Vocal Harmony : a good guitarist will make any guitar sounds good :)
OMG you sound just like John Lennon I can hear the emotion. It brings tears to my eyes.
Got it thank you 😊
Thanks Man!
Is missing a D note (the D string) in each chord. Is not 100% right, but thank you. I love your videos.
I know this video is 6 years old but when the picking changes for those couple of chords, are you supposed to end on a G string instead of D like the regular fingerpicking pattern? Everywhere I look online it seems that all that changes is the removal of the E bass note in the pattern but not any other strings. Could someone please clarify if this was a mistake or correct, I'm a beginner, thanks!
i cant do the d shape with my pinky on a without muting d string
Thank,YOU!!!!! Now I can Play Dear Prudence.
Grazie mille! You are a great teacher and this lesson format is excellent!
Have you done tutorials on Michelle, Blackbird, and Mother Natures' Son? :-)
Yes check them out here :)
Playing this skill level 3/20 writing this skill level 20/20
Great can you do Julia next - kind of in the same strumming type
Picking pattern 14:14
lovely true Beatle man.ex player too!.
Thanks for going over the picking pattern at a good pace rather than the guy at the top of the list
In that first chord of the verse, can I use my index instead of the pinky and leave the G string open?
