Aiming for a new video every weekend! Obviously I can't always stick to that schedule, but it's the goal! Hoping to really nail the last 5 songs, so there might be a slightly longer gap until the next one. But the last 5 will all come out all around the same time.
"It WAS you buzzing, you naughty boy!" Wow, the Gretsch really got close for the solo, good choice! I always wondered whether it was Paul or George Martin who played piano on this one. I've always liked this song a lot. When I first saw the film (I must've been 10 or so) I was exposed to 5 or 6 songs that seem to never be on the radio, I was amazed! So many gems that don't see the light of day much.
This is one of Paul's first standout piano songs. He used this same shuffle on "The Word," "You Won't See Me," and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting. I'll do a video on McCartney piano styles again one day, he had 3-4 styles he'd draw from. But yep, this is a signature McCartney piano style!
Wonderful, this song is one of my favourite pre Rubber Soul "album" tracks, up there with If I Fell and No Reply and this cover is immaculate. You make me want to paint my strat sonic blue! (though that would probably be a bad idea ☺️)
It is indeed a great example of their prolificness. To think such an absolutely killer song like this is just sort of buried beneath their mountain of hits and other more popular tunes is incredible. Nice job by the way!
Thanks again! Like someone else mentioned: it's a great way to start the weekend. Love the guitar break. It's funny but I noticed how much I even love the songs that I always thought were so so. It's your recreations that make me realize they are all great!

I've been telling people for years that was his Gent on the lead....THANK YOU. That bridge pickup on the Gent is the only thing that sounds like that (as in the intro to Roll Over Beethoven).
Are you msjokes??? Where have you been? I have a DVD you sent me many years ago. Welcome back (although I still need some sort of crutch, chords, tabs, etc. to try some of these classics myself with a Hofner 500/1, Rickenbacker 4003, and Chinese 325 and 360/12-strings)
Man, I don't know how you do it, buy you've done it again. I love the boys singing, but even their backing tracks are just so joyous to listen to . . . Which you've proven. Love it.
Hey Michael, I just now realized that the rhythm guitar is slightly flat to the piano, just like on the recording... Did you know that going into it? I'm born with perfect pitch which you think would be wonderful but in fact it can be completely the opposite sometimes. Again as always, nicely done.
*This is the one I've been waiting for!* As I'd hoped, your version sounds glorious and very in-tune. Could you talk a little about how you dealt with the weird tuning stuff in the source track? Also, if you do what you did with "guest vocalists" on Help! how will you approach that logistically?
This is a great point that I forgot to make in my description! John’s guitar is flat! Not quite sure how, but the song still works and holds together. But I never for a second wanted to recreate that part of the original sound of this track. Always drove me a little nuts, that dissonance. And yes, I found an isolated vocal for this tune, so I will probably put together the “guest vocalist” version soon!
@@MichaelSokil Thanks for the quick reply! Can't wait for the guest version! I love this song and it's been driving me berserk for years. I wound up making a mono mix from the non-piano channel of the super dry 1965 stereo mix that came with the mono box set. I don't have perfect pitch so I've never fully understood what's going on, but to my relative pitch ear, the vocals sounded out of tune but as soon as I removed the piano they sounded great. But I love the piano! Especially that little bluesy lick at 1:01. So you've finally made it possible to hear the whole masterpiece in tune. I had one theory that they just tuned their guitars to themselves and sung perfectly in tune with that and then added the piano as an afterthought, but maybe the Abbey Road "pianet" or whatever it was was at concert pitch and the guitar were in-tune to themselves below that? But the Hammack book shows guitar 2 and pianet as having been superimposed onto the same track! Every time I try to figure it out I wind up pulling my hair out so thank God you've done this version! Here's a super-clean vocal isolation (th-cam.com/video/aCQDzxoISZM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheBeatlesVocalHarmony). But ... how will you you do it? Will you digitally lower your whole mix or raise the vocals? And do you yourself have perfect pitch such that your ear wants to hear everything at 440? On ones that are at 440, I've tried combining the isolated Beatle vocals with your tracks and it's absolutely uncanny how perfectly they fit. I've even made liveBPM screenshots of the Beatles' tempo with all its natural ebb and flow and yours fit like a glove. It's truly amazing what you're doing here! It's like having the full master tapes but better in some ways.
@@kevinmoore4237 Yep, it's always driven me nuts too. Processing the "guest vocal" version now. I guess I tuned to the vocals, since I didn't need to make any adjustments to match the pitch of the record! I'll post the link here when it's live.
@@MichaelSokil Holy crap - it sounds soo good. The falsettos are just ... soooo good. And that piano lick before "the way you treat her". Oh my God. The very first backup vocal response "yes yes you're gonna lose that girl" still sounds off in the same way it sounds off on the Beatles track, so I guess Paul & George just had to take a second to find the pocket. Everything else is sublime. It somehow manages to sound better than the Beatles without sounding different from the Beatles in its essence. Quite a trick.
Your videos are so skillfully made and much appreciated. My favorite little part in this song, unfortunately not captured here, is the transition from the F chord on the second bridge back to the E for the last verse (at 1:46 in this video). Lennon really rakes the strings on that part, and it somehow makes the song for me. Otherwise, this is a perfect recreation, well done!
Oh man, I'm sorry! I love capturing those signature little moments. I guess this one didn't register with me. For me, that "Beatley" magic in this song are those jazzy piano riffs after "that's what you'll do." I guess everyone has little moments they love. I do my best, but I ain't perfect!
@@diegochavarini3994 I think John played his Sonic Blue Strat, and George played his Gretsch 6119 Tennessean. On the photo of Your Gonna Lose That Girl's session, shows that John was play sonic blue strat. Sorry for my bad english
Excellent as always Mike. Running out of superlatives to describe your work. I hope that by temporarily skipping With The Beatles and Beatles For Sale that you don't lose interest in their older and simpler works when it's time to come back to them.
I second all the praise others have given you on this. I hope you get the fact that not only do we recognize your great talent, we all really appreciate your taking the time and putting in the effort to do this. A great big Thank You. This song has always been a personal fave by the way. Watching you play is most enjoyable. Additionally, I always enjoy reading the information given about the original and the replicated recording. Everything you did sounded correct on this one, but after listening to the original again carefully, I cannot hear piano after the first note at :01. Of course, they were always putting things in that were blended into the background that made imitating them impossible, so you are probably correct. Your Country Gentleman sounded right when you played it, but I do believe George played his Strat. Listen to the last note he hits at 1:22. If you were going to play this just for yourself, would you try to bend those strings like that on your Country Gent or on you new Strat? As for John's rhythm, again you sound correct, but here at home I can make my Epiphone Casino sound more like the real thing than I can my Strat. One source even suggests John is playing his 160E! Go figure. Interesting that all these years later we still discuss it. Even debate it. Good observation that very soon John would stop writing love songs. I think he felt he had "outgrown" that.
yes, I agree that George used his strat. However, there is no way that John played Casino for this song, as he only purchased his casino after publishing the album Help!
My master plan is - god willing - to hit every album eventually. I don't have a master plan beyond that! I'll do whichever period is interesting to me. I would bet that "Rubber Soul" is next, since it has 3-4 of my absolute favorite songs. But we shall see!
The guitars on this track are still a mystery. In the movie John is using his Gibson J160e and George his 1962 Country Gentleman. But in photos taken during the recording session, John is seen holding a blue strat and George his Tennessean. Is it possible that John AND George played rhythm that day? And George overdubbed the lead another day with Paul's bass and the bongos???
I would say that this is one of your best yet but the ones this year have been exceptionally strong so I’m not sure how I’d judge it 🙂 Having heard the version with vocals I’m not sure that I’d immediately notice the difference. It’s that close. The only criticism that I have is that you’ve done the bongos too well. I’m a huge Ringo fan and his feel for timing is normally spot on but I’ve always felt that his Bongos on this track have been sloppy (only my opinion of course. Others love his Bongos bere). You’re too professional 😀 Really well done track Michael!
Could you please take separate videos of each isolated instrument to understand what you play? Because from soundcloud it is difficult to tell from the sound what chords or riffs you make.
I don't know if it's just some bias that only exists in my head but ever since I was a kid something has always sounded out of tune in that song. I don't know what it is. Love it though
Basically just played the shit out of them, haha. I didn't bother replicating this part note for note, except for that interesting little fill in the second to last verse. I did the same thing with "You Can't Do That" - I listened to get a rough feel for the bongo part, and just focused on playing something in rhythm that was interesting, fit the song, and felt close enough to sound right!
Depends on the part of the song you're referencing. It's E to G#major to start the verse, but E to C#minor under the lyrics "You're Gonna Lose That Girl."
I haven't seen a scan of his notes for "YGTLTG." Which is unfortunate, because his notes for other "Help!" tracks have been insanely helpful! www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/beatles-story-puts-george-martin-8643567
Well this is a surprise. My favourite moment from the film and a song I've massacred many times. But if I had just seen this video online without the title or provenance I wouldn't have given it a second glance. I don't doubt that it's an accurate recreation of their recording but I'd have never imagined that Lennon used a Straocaster or that there was any piano in it at all. And then there's the bongos. Just goes to prove how fickle the ears are. That buzzings annoying.
@@MichaelSokil It does sound much closer. Maybe the reports that George used the Strat on the song are as incorrect as the ones that state John used the Gibson J-160E.
Yeah this song isn't probably to Beatle standards and only made it to Help because there is a lot of weak tracks on this album. But nevertheless this one has a few very nice tricks that would have been awesome to find them in a better song.
Better than the real thing (their piano was out of tune with the rest).
But John s voice

You're right, it's not just in your head! I tried correcting it a little in my version, but yes there's definitely an odd dissonance in the original.
You should do "I'll get you" BBC live version.
Out of curiosity - With the bongos so (relatively) low in the original mix, how did you figure out what to play?
isolated the right channel probably

I'm really confused if it's E chord then G#m or C#m
Depends on the part of the song you're referencing. It's E to G#major to start the verse, but E to C#minor under the lyrics "You're Gonna Lose That Girl."
Heck YEAH!
You're Gonna Lose That Girl
@@DLD2Music Yes yes you're gonna lose that girl

Doesn't George Martin's production notes say the rhythm guitar as being "John on Gretsch"?
I haven't seen a scan of his notes for "YGTLTG." Which is unfortunate, because his notes for other "Help!" tracks have been insanely helpful! www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/beatles-story-puts-george-martin-8643567
Feel free to send donations, lol. I wish I were able to afford all of these!
@@MichaelSokil Me neither, I only read about it in John C. Winn's book, Way Beyond Compare. Anyway, excellent job on the recreation!
@@beatlesfan2884 You’re getting aggressive again, sir. I have not yet.
@@beatlesfan2884 You only need to post a suggestion once! I see all the comments…
So is it just me or does the E chord sound out of tune. Maybe I’m too used to the tuning of the original
Well this is a surprise.
My favourite moment from the film and a song I've massacred many times.
But if I had just seen this video online without the title or provenance I wouldn't have given it a second glance. I don't doubt that it's an accurate recreation of their recording but I'd have never imagined that Lennon used a Straocaster or that there was any piano in it at all. And then there's the bongos.
Just goes to prove how fickle the ears are. That buzzings annoying.
Two more to go!
5 more! Act Naturally, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Another Girl, Tell Me What You See, and Yesterday! I've started work on all 5....
@@MichaelSokil Oh yeah thanks for correcting me.
I always heard an acoustic guitar in there.
I thought George played the solo on his Strat.
Hey, I tried the Strat and got a much closer sound on the Gent.
@@MichaelSokil It does sound much closer. Maybe the reports that George used the Strat on the song are as incorrect as the ones that state John used the Gibson J-160E.
I agree 100%!
Miss the taiiin 3,2,1.
The bongo part is being played wrong. Tempo is a tad too fast. Otherwise it's great.
John lennon used gibson j160e
Nope, the J-160E sounds completely different electrified. I know, I tried it. Thanks!
Ok
Yeah this song isn't probably to Beatle standards and only made it to Help because there is a lot of weak tracks on this album. But nevertheless this one has a few very nice tricks that would have been awesome to find them in a better song.
The most lasting image from this song was Ringo smoking a joint
A version with special guest vocalists...vimeo.com/633868327
it sounds like a 50th anniversary remaster, that intro sounds way identical to the record!
How did you do that?!
