Such a weird song. John's playing triplets, Paul's playing a walking bass, George is picking Atkins-style in the solo and Ringo is drumming a loping twist beat in the verses and straight 4/4 snare beats in the chorus. It all holds together though.
Not really weird to me. It's not uncommon for songs to mesh straight time and swing. For me the take away is the precise and fast chord changes.
That's why it's so great. It isn't just one thing.
If you listen with post-Beatle era ears it sounds perfectly acceptable. If you have pre-Beatle ears it sounds outrageous.
Yes mate it's that weird it turned into beatles
@@jimduffy1967 Be weirder if it turned into Stones
I remember in one of John’s last interviews he said that he liked that song because he enjoyed playing it.
And in the hospital on the day he died this song played
@@Bettinabaltes how the hell do you know that!!😂
I know that because my grandad was there he's like 93
@@Trashboat0908 Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at 11:15 p.m., but the time of 11:07 p.m. has also been reported. Witnesses noted that the Beatles song "All My Loving" came over the hospital's sound system at the moment Lennon was pronounced dead. His body was then taken to the city morgue at 520 First Avenue for an autopsy.
its true
he was proud of himself and for good reason
When people question John Lennon’s ability as a rhythm guitar player, I always point them to this song.
I don’t think anyone would question his ability
Jakub 83 you’d be surprised
To be fair, I've never heard anyone question it
@@jakub8302 People don't question it, I find they just forget or never realized how good he was.
@@lous8619 Yeah I was guilty of that for a long time and thought it was George who did all the hard guitar stuff. Only thru youtube videos I found the truth. Still though, that does not take anything away from George - he still one of my favourite guitarists today.
The player can't help but do the slight knee bend to the beat lol
It's part of the song.
@@michaelwilkinson6230 😂😂😂😂😂
I can't help but do the knee thing playing air guitar to this song!!
kinda frogs legs
The knee bend is a buy one get one free deal with the song
John Lennon is a highly underrated guitarist
@Let it be. knowing who someone is, isn't the same as underestimating/underrating them. loads of people knew hitler, therefore he wasn't such a bad guy. see the problem with that logic?
Not by most players. They acknowledge his talent.
Not really. This was one of the most challenging parts he came up with, most others are pretty simple I guess for most players. It's unimportant. His creative imagination as a songwriter was OFF THE FUCKING CHART
I'm still trying to play that rhythm part after many years of trying. Can you imagine the frustration of thousands of beginning guitar players in the 60's trying to play John Lennon's rhythm licks on their Silvertone finger wrecker acoustics? Triplets at that speed with those chords? John is the most underrated rhythm guitar in rock history
Me too. This was the song that made me need (not want) to learn to play guitar. I've been playing for 10 years now, and I'm still chipping away at this part. On good days it comes out pretty well, but I doubt that I will ever be able to keep up with John through the entire song. Keep at it!
Andrew Bigelow *want - use English properly
Alexis Flores It’s annoying when people say they need something when they only want is. And this guy knew it and said (need not want) which is just stupid considering what you actually need is just food, water and shelter
No one in the beatles is "underreated" lmfao
Ash D You get oxygen naturally if you live on earth. I mean what you need to survive if you just appeared in a forest or something
As one who watched The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, I can tell you that nothing in rock 'n roll sounded like this UNTIL this. It was either the one, four and five or cowboy chords. Even their simplest stuff wasn't really "simple".
The day of the Ed Sullivan Show, a Sunday, everybody was waiting to see them, even my mom was talking to our neighbor's mom, they were laughing how silly the Beatles looked but were curious, nobody knew even what they really looked like and the only big songs were I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You with the "yeah yeah yeah" and their hair was the BIGGEST thing, everybody was like totally STUNNED, it was SO radical and out there, it is so funny to think about it today but it was like aliens landed on Earth and they were BRITISH and it was all so weird and wonderful. And the only music that was even close was Everly Brothers. What they managed to do with three guitars was amazing. And remember JFK has just been shot like a few months ago. I was going on 10. It was earth shattering.
Triplets are hard as f to play, and you didn't missed a single note, so you're my hero xD

Speaking of hard to play -look at what piano players have to deal with. th-cam.com/video/4H0VObXXA7U/w-d-xo.html
I can't believe how talented John Lennon was, when he played his Rickenbacker 325. He was legendary. I feel sad, hearing his part of All My Loving, just as it was announced, he was shot dead, on 8th December, 1980, aged 40. All My Loving was playing on the hospital radio.
I heard that. Is is really true? How spooky.
I heard the doctor who worked on him said that in an interview. Really weird.
@@JohnBarrylizard He lied for attention
@@ChorltonOutlaw How do you know. Were you there?
John Barry I was in the next ward and that doctor was a known liar. In the staff room a few weeks later he confessed that it wasn’t a Beatles song on the radio he just wanted to be a part of all the commotion. Sad really but that’s the kind of guy he was
Those are some funky looking chord shapes... real finger twisters, to be sure...
Guitarist from the Sex Pistols called it a "wanky Beatle chord" lol
@@w0210230 can you go into more detail?
@@mokrodog sure. There was a VHS tape about the making of Nevermind the Bollocks (probably find it on TH-cam now tbh) where the guitarist from the sex pistols was told by their original bassist (Glenn) to play a certain type of chord on a song. He said something to the effect of "he always wanted me to play this wanky beatle chord, power chord, thats all you're getting"
Lennon was a fuggin awesome rhythm guitar player. I will die on this hill.
RIP brother
Learning to play this, the best part is the chorus and solo since you can take a break from the triplets 😩😩😩
Right. It also helps break the tension in the arrangement. Creates space.
That triplicate strumming is actually a lot of fun, just goes to show what a good guitarist John actually was.
it's a good workout especially on acoustic
John was a very underrated rhythm player because when you break this sequence down, it’s deceptively difficult!
Brilliant playing by John in that song, it just makes it come alive. Playing the chords isn't the big deal, it's keeping a fluid, steady and even sounding up and down strum that makes it tough for most of us. When you watch John do it, it's like he's not even thinking about it, it's so natural for him to do. The song would never been the same without those triplet strums. I've always liked the verses better than the chorus just because of that strumming.
You're right about that. I can't imagine an arrangement of that song in any way that doesn't contain those triplets. I just does not compute.
He played the Banjo before so he got that skill from there I think
My favorite thing in life is playing the Beatles, but I'm currently out of band. I use your isolated videos to play along. Very good, man. Thank you!
Where you from
Thanks for Johns guitar on that great song. Amazing.❤

That’s Me
- John Lennon
Awesome Job! John was an incredible rock guitarist, on top of his singing and songwriting.
This and "Happy Just To Dance With You" exemplify why John Lennon was one of the best rhythm guitarists in rock ever. :) Not just a strummer, by any stretch of the imagination.
Nice work! Those triplets aren't easy to sustain and play clean! Sounds like you have that 325 properly strung with flatwounds, for that percussive sound that JL was famous for.
Yes! His "Happy Just to Dance With You" is a way cool rhythm too!
Genius of Beatles is their ability to put each wicked instrument and vocal pieces together to make an unique, off beat & wicked timed finished master pieces.
Great rhythm guitar work. John Lennon was such a brilliant rhythm guitarist, he's my hero
John thought he had no super skills to contribute to jams but he was a damn good rhythm guitarist and a GREAT songwriter.
I was so pleased when I managed to nail this. Same with Happy Just to Dance with You.
Beautiful. Will we ever have another perfect mix of musicianship, artistry, and legacy like The Beatles ever again? I think not.
Pink Floyd
@@Tyleriscoolx2 Excuse me, I just spit out my coffee. Pink "Two Decent Albums" Floyd?
Yes...the band is called Radiohead
Bee Gees...
Oasis.
C'mon tell the truth, who's singing along.
Meeee
I am!
M-me 🥺
i cannot lie...
Playing that part and concentrating a superb vocal performance. Lennon-love ya!
Those jangly triplets (or whatever they're called) totally make the song. It's just the driving force to push it over the top...
Thanks for that! I didn't realize that John was playing such nice lines through that song! Lot more to it than one would first think!
Wow man!!! I smiled the entire time. This is incredible. I loved the quick smootg slide to transition to the closing bit. It was butter.
Always loved this Lennon performance. Extremely harder than it looks, and sounds. That's the brilliance of it, and it sounds so good to the ears. Excellent job. So glad you minimized the backing track so we could hear your performance.
Fantastic mate ,I never thought about this stuff,it's brilliant when you break it down.
Holy moly, glad I found this channel, which ought to be huge. I'll try to spread the word.
Very nice indeed. Thanks for taking the time to record this.
Apparently this also one of the last songs Lennon heard, not sure if it’s true or not, but at the hospital while the doctors were desperately trying to save him this songs eerily playing at the hospital he was in. When doctors announced his death a witness heard a shriek. Apparently this was a story from a witness of the same hospital which where Lennon was in.
A journalist by the name of Alan Weiss who was also in the emergency room following a motor cycle accident
If you can give me that guitar, that would be great😂, love rickenbackers
Superb!!!! Played perfect! Excellent job!!
One Of my fav George solos, and great job on capturing. Johns part mate
Just hearing this makes me happy. Well done!
I like how You even move like John just wiggle your butt up and down a little bit :))
Why?
Mcbain12 sorka mordki. polska autokorekta lmao
Perv
Just like the original track, amzing job! You even bounce on your knees just like John did! lol
That was pretty incredible!
That was very, very cool. Thank you.
Dude that was friggen awesome!
...this is so freaking awesome!
OMG, this was so much fun to sing along to!! Thanks for doing this
The rythm guitar in this song immediately strike me when this song came out. It carries the whole song. Even when played without hearing the other instruments you know which song it is.
Very well done my friend, fantastic rhythm guitar.
I love love love this.
Wow...you are so very good. With this tune...you are the best i've seen or heard.
BEAUTIFUL
Magnificent intonation.
The Strumming!
Absotively perfect.
I like your videos I’m a big Beatles fan
How can anyone put a dislike on this video? Awesome playing!! ❤️🤘🏼
'cause, trolls, mutants and prats with six working brain cells are allowed access to the Internet.
@@rosswatson5996 I didn't dislike the video but its pretty sloppy and is out of tune. People just have different standards.
Beautiful
Excellent job!
Yes man. Realy good ! Love it ! 👍 Best regards, from Germany
Yes!! Good job.
Excellent job. The tone is perfect. The only thing I hear differently is that John plays that B7 chord during the verse, the standard way. I don’t think he bars it. But I’m just nitpicking. I love the video.
This is one hard ass song to play. Lead guitarists have nothing on John Lennon.
*incoming GH stan
This song always sounded fairly easy to me by ear but proved to be very difficult to actually execute. The timing is crucial and you pretty much got it down to a tee here. Love that jangly Rickenbacker sound!!!
I find much more difficult to Play "I'm Happy Just to Dance with you" on rythm guitar than "All my Loving"... (Well, I'm intermediate...) 😊
BRILLIANT
Bravo young man!
I love playing Paul’s walking bass line on this tune, those triplets though……and how he keeps the steady attack consistent throughout, respect.
Excelente cover!!!...
Perfection
why are people being so negative? he tried his best, that's all that matters
News just in from the Large Hadron Collider - it's been proven beyond all doubt that the Rickenbacker 325 is the sexiest guitar ever made.
Excellent!
very well done!
Is fantastic,🤘
I’ve heard many people say that the Beatles guitar work was very average and not very special. I would love to see those people learn this rhythm guitar piece and play it perfectly in a short amount of time.
Fantastic
Just saw a clip of Beatles appearances on Ed Sullivan. I've always could hear the guitar but John was so good, I wasn't sure if it was 1 string or strumming all 6.... you're still amazing us John.👍
🎼 Excellent ! 👌
Bravo ! Really true part .
Excellent.
Only a true Lennon fan would make this video. Respect bro
I can sing the whole song just listening to rhe rhythm guitar played brilliantly by the dearso sadly missed big man,RIP John.
Well done!
I've had to play this before.....it was a nightmare at first. After you're done it's like, 'I made it!!!'.
Very good!
John was a very under-estimated Great Guitar Player.
Same as George.
What are you talking about? Both have always been acknowledged as gifted musicians. Don't take my word for it--just Google it.
@@fredpearson5204 I saw John on a list of influential guitarists who were terrible players. They probably just went with an opinion and didn't cite any evidence
I never learned how to play this as exactly. Lol.
I’ve never been able to play this for as long as I’ve tried. Maybe with your excellent video I might take another stab at it.
westfield90 I always have thought is due Rickenbacker's short scale what makes easier to play it compared to any another standard scale guitar
Luis Bonillas I think you are exactly right
Well done.
I would never have guessed that’s what it sounds like!
Cool stuff
Great cover series of one of my favorites. Are you using flats or roundwounds on the 325? Also curious to know what type of pick you're using. Strings and picks make a huge difference in getting the timbre just right on these tunes.
John was a great rhythm guitarist.
Nice job dude.
Wow...you are very good! That's a hard song to that fluently.
Sweet!
Thanks! 🙂😎
Amaze
Bella !!!
Its a killer to play
