The Beatles learned their trade by playing covers of fifties popular songs and updating them for their long stage appearances in the Hamburg Clubs. Excellent video as always, thanks. ( FYI Sophie Tucker was renowned for her large appearance back in the day...... Hence the "favourite Group" Joke by Paul hehe!).
And to think George was only 20 years old when he composed his parts and the solo, and then the band recorded it so well, including the two interwoven classical guitars.
The solo is amazing! The chord preceding the F is a flat 5 substitution for C7, something I learnt when working my way through the Mickey Baker jazz guitar book. Incredible how they could effortlessly incorporate jazz harmony into pop songs.
Incredible solo from George. He was 21 at the time he came up with that, and none of The Beatles could read or write Western music notation, or were educated in music theory, so I find it all the more amazing that George would come up with something so sophisticated.
I remember being drawn in hearing George Harrison's guitar "Til There Was You" in 1964. Even to my 13 year old years, his sound was distinctive from anything up to that point in rock and roll/contemporary music. It is a very sophisticated sound for 1963-64. Just hearing George's melody hooked me... from then on I couldn't wait to hear the next Beatles' song to see where they were taking this exciting new sound. It was fresh, unique and very "modern" for the times.
Now, that's a teacher! Chords with context, history and theory to boot all in one lesson. It will take me a whole year to unpack the lesson. I can see the dark learning pit I must jump into willingly and crawl out of. I've become a guitar pilgrim. Thank you!
Your channel is still one of the best out there, man! Been playing for 11 years but never felt confident enough to take on that solo! Cleared up some of the chords I was guessing on too! Thanks for the great lesson!
Good lesson Mr. believe it or not this is my favorite Beatles tune. When I was 9 I saw them play this on Ed Sullivan and it changed my life. Music is truly freeing, I guess ya had to he there. For those who were not you missed out. ❤ the Beatles 4 ever.
Another great lesson, Thomas, just another great, great lesson with insights, historical perspective, and facts that enrich we listeners/learners and music fans. For the record, Sophie Tucker used to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show prior to the Beatles and was a rather rotund or healthy woman one might say charitably. She had a great voice for the so-called standards back then, but for we kiddies and teeny boppers attracted to the Fab Four, Freddy & The Dreamers, Gerry Marsden, Eric Burden & Animals, Paul Revere & Raiders, etc., Sophie was a hoot and more known by your grandmom's and grand-dads, if you know what I mean. She was a musical artists from another generation that simply covered the tune and was somewhat of a humorous celebrity, not intentional of course. Sir Paul, was obviously poking a little fun at Sophie with his quip about The Beatles' favorite band being Sophie Tucker. All in good spirit....
We played this beautiful number in my first band fifty years ago, I played the solo on my 63 Strat., I hadn't played it in years "Til there was you", Thom, you have a great voice!!! John was a master of nuance and finding beautiful chords, probable related to his early exposure to uke and banjo, on the record they play the F at the 8th fret and then slide down to do the Am to Gm walkdown. Great lesson!!!
That was wonderful Thom! Beautiful guitar playing & that ending with Ray Charles was totally amazing! Thanks for this & hope that you & your family are doing well. 👍👍😉😉🎹🎹🎸🎸
Loved the lesson! Awesome job! 👏🏻 I love this Beatles song! You said that one part of the song it sounds a little latin, and I agree, it sounds almost the same as a "Bolero" which is a traditional mexican musical style!
Merci, what a colletion of musicians. Ending with Ray Charles...brilliant. Have you ever seen Rachel Flowers? She started on the keyboard, and played for Ray when she was 9 (I think) and she also played guitar with Dweezil Zappa with "Montana". You will be amazed at her right hand work on the guitar.
I play this song regularly and love it. I must play it to remember it. I can do the solo too. Very jazzy. How many rock bands did songs like this? This is much more complicated than power chords.
Great! At last the first video showing the correct intro part. John would have maybe played an acoustic with his fingers, but he always played his rickenbaker with a pick.
Je prends le temps de vous remercier de mettre autant de passion dans ce que vous faites. Vos explications sont toujours claires et précises et vous abordez la guitare aussi bien que la théorie musicale ainsi que son histoire, de manière tellement ludique qu'il est toujours agréable de vous entendre et quel bon guitariste êtes vous, vraiment bravo ! I take the time to thank you for putting so much passion into what you do. Your explanations are always clear and precise and you approach the guitar both music theory and its history, in such a playful way that it is always pleasant to hear you and what a good guitarist you are, really well done!
How's that adorable 'terrible two' toddler working for you?? Getting more sleep these days?? Must be more fun though as personality develops and hopefully, you're delivering that full musical exposure to influence some musical greatness!! Love this era of the Beatles as innocence and fun was still the order of the Liverpool day!! Jim C.
Your presentation of how to play the song was great to a point! Moreover, I wished you would have finished the bloody presentation of how to play the song to its conclusion (The Beatles did).
Thanks Pilgrim. I learnt this song 10 years ago when I became infatuated with the Beatles. Glad to learn I was playing it wrong, I much prefer your (correct) version. Do you learn these by ear?
In the same jazzy style,with george on lead,ill follow the sun, very tricky guitar work.they even performed these two songs at royal venues,you have good taste,as most of the masses cling to the cliche numbers.harrison. ,Was only appreciated by realmusicians

Love this ballad from The Beatles, especially Harrison's guitar solo!

@@paulmacpherson6622 He was even younger as he was playing this in the clubs of Hamburg as an under aged minor, makes it even more impressive.
Check out his solo on Dig a Pony. In my opinion, it's his best.
Incredible solo from George. He was 21 at the time he came up with that, and none of The Beatles could read or write Western music notation, or were educated in music theory, so I find it all the more amazing that George would come up with something so sophisticated.

One of my favourites. That guitar solo is so beautifully played. Only George could do that.
It's very simple any pro guitarist can easily play that simple solo
Your channel is still one of the best out there, man! Been playing for 11 years but never felt confident enough to take on that solo! Cleared up some of the chords I was guessing on too!
Thanks for the great lesson!
You not only play exceptionally but your have a wonderful singing voice.
Good lesson Mr. believe it or not this is my favorite Beatles tune. When I was 9 I saw them play this on Ed Sullivan and it changed my life. Music is truly freeing, I guess ya had to he there. For those who were not you missed out. ❤ the Beatles 4 ever.
Always such a joy to watch you explaining songs, styles, etc. Wonderful, man.

Thank you for this. I love the song and I love the way you present it. This passion... I am joining instantly... Thank you.
Sophie was Marshall Tucker's sister, and was big in southern rock in the 70's.
No, she was Chris Tucker's Mom. She's the one who got him his start in show biz.
@@glenncalzada1707 Does that make her a Mother Tucker?
@@daveowens9490 apparently!!😂🤣
Great selection this morning. Ive always loved this song. Thank you Pilgrim, you've done it again.
That was wonderful Thom! Beautiful guitar playing & that ending with Ray Charles was totally amazing! Thanks for this & hope that you & your family are doing well. 👍👍😉😉🎹🎹🎸🎸
An inspiring lesson with such a lovely guitar solo! Great!
Another beautifully played, excellently explained rendition of a beautiful song. You Rock Groovy One!
Oh wow...the Ray Charles performance is stunning. Thank you for including this. Love all the extras in your video. Thank you! Well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great lesson GP, and very informative, thank you for your posting it was excellent! James 🎸
Well done. This is especially good that you sing during this video.
Most lessons like this dont have vocals to pinpoint the chords. Very
nice!
Became a member because of this tutorial. You are a GREAT teacher. Thank you.
I've been trying to learn this song but it was so difficult to get it perfectly right. Thanks so much for this video
Excellent breakdown of the history of the song and arrangements.
As usual lively and informative. Thank you!
Cheers from Indonesia.
This channel deserves so much more 🔥Thanks for amazing video
Loved the lesson! Awesome job! 👏🏻 I love this Beatles song! You said that one part of the song it sounds a little latin, and I agree, it sounds almost the same as a "Bolero" which is a traditional mexican musical style!
Gem of a lesson! Thank you!
Thanks this is a fantastic lesson and inspiration to play all styles of music .
You played it beautifuly Thom . Just goes to show The Beatles knew complicated chords too ! Great explaination 👍🎸
That solo is truly beautiful in it's ability to teach freedom from scales while using scales
i didn't know this song it's so well written, thanks for the lesson :)
Great song, great video! Also thanks for adding Ray Charles' version in the end, never heard that one, cheers!
Aparte de que eres un gran músico tienes una forma de explicar muy clara y amena, vale la pena para ésta hermosa melodia. Ya me la aprendí
Merci, what a colletion of musicians. Ending with Ray Charles...brilliant.
Have you ever seen Rachel Flowers? She started on the keyboard, and played for Ray when she was 9 (I think) and she also played guitar with Dweezil Zappa with "Montana".
You will be amazed at her right hand work on the guitar.
Thanks. Love your singing (in addition to your playing and song deconstruction)
JUST GREAT !!...thank You..love Your channel 💙✌
I play this song regularly and love it. I must play it to remember it. I can do the solo too. Very jazzy. How many rock bands did songs like this? This is much more complicated than power chords.
nice song by beetles.loved your tutorial to play it.thanks a lot for the lesson.
Thank you great video it’s helped me a lot.
Love it. Thanks.
Many thanks for a great lesson 😊
Thank you! I learned an another version but yours sounds definitely better!
Great choice, great video, thanks 😎
Wow, that is a great song! You are correct sir.
I was looking for this song today
Very well commander Data 👏👏👏
First heard it in the music man! I always thought the Beatles version was great. Paul really did a good job with the vocals.
Such a brilliant version
Thank you for Ray’s version! And I thought I new majority of his works 😂
Great video! You also sing great👍👍👍
Gracias por el video, muy interesante. Desde España.
Great video!
Some real gems here...
Hendrix style
Beatles 6th
CoolVid
Very educational and enjoyable
Thank you, Pilgrim! You're great
I saw "till there was you". I clicked. Even If I don't time to watch it now
Great! At last the first video showing the correct intro part. John would have maybe played an acoustic with his fingers, but he always played his rickenbaker with a pick.
AWESOME
Nice! Thank you 😊
Paul said in this performance: "the american band Sophie Tucker."🤗
Sophie me thinks was KGB material. George just was amazing everything he touched was gold
Love it
Hats off to George "Carl" Harrison, and of course To Guitar Pilgrim!!! En español, olé, olé y olé!!!
A good song is a good song no matter who plays it. Any song becomes an epic song if Ray Charles sings it.
Nice video!
Paul's singing is Unbelievable
You had me at Bing!

To heck with your "ring" finger. Let's talk about your VOICE! Beautiful! You should have sung the whole song. That would have been an ice cream treat!
Can you, or have you done 'And Your Bird Can Sing'? Another tune with great riffs.
NICE SONG AND LESSON.
More Beatles please!
How's that adorable 'terrible two' toddler working for you?? Getting more sleep these days??

Thank you we hlave surely the same blood group. Very nice explanation….
Your presentation of how to play the song was great to a point! Moreover, I wished you would have finished the bloody presentation of how to play the song to its conclusion (The Beatles did).
very romantic song
Paul said in this performance: "The American Band, Sophie Tucker"🤗
Nice Tutorial
Mellow and sweet tone, singing ... GP
But Ray got some tears. Soul.
Great! Do you have regular tabs?
Nice
Thanks Pilgrim. I learnt this song 10 years ago when I became infatuated with the Beatles. Glad to learn I was playing it wrong, I much prefer your (correct) version. Do you learn these by ear?
Yep, pop music by ear, classical music by notes
Красивое 🙂
Hé Henk ! Je maaj leuk filmpies
In the same jazzy style,with george on lead,ill follow the sun, very tricky guitar work.they even performed these two songs at royal venues,you have good taste,as most of the masses cling to the cliche numbers.harrison. ,Was only appreciated by realmusicians
👏🙏🇧🇷
If you think this is fancy listen to September in the rain by the Beatles super jazz chords and they were only teenagers at the time !
“Thank you Lennon.” Ha ha. That Taylor sounds deep.
Are you sure that second chord isn't F#dim on the second fret..?
Singing and Bass. I also find difficult.
The joke about Sophie Tucker is that she was large so Paul says she was their favorite "group" intimating that she qualifies are more than one person.
Ray....
Oh...mit Händen und Füßen. Lg Ellen
By the way, Sofie Tucker was a bit, shall we say, overweight; I think that's why the audience laughed when Paul called her a 'band'.
The joke: because Sophie Tucker was so fat, she was the "group".
Lesser talk much better
