My dad was a professional jazz trumpet player in the '50's and '60's, and he hated rock 'n' roll--until he brought the Abbey Road album home and asked us all to gather in the living room and listen to it. I was only 11 years old at the time, but it's still one of my clearest memories. When "Something" came on, my dad raved about George's solo as one of the sexiest solos he'd ever heard. He also loved "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" because of its bluesy sound. From that point on, he changed his mind about rock music and started buying more Beatles albums, among albums from other groups. That experience also got me hooked, and I'm still blown away by the Beatles.
Good story. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing a wonderful part of your family life with us, Im sure that it happens to many many musicians of these years, your father was a great teacher. blessings, and greetings from Lima Perú.
Awesome!
@ Secret Treasure....I read a comment on youtube a few months ago from a lady that had a story similar to yours. It was about Ringo. In her comment or post, she said her dad was a professional jazz musician in the 50's and 60's. He hated rock music and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about with the Beatles etc. When they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show he wanted to see what this new band was all about. After a few songs he turned to his daughter and said of Ringo...."that drummer is the bread and butter of that band". Even professional musicians of a different genre can detect talent.
WOW

Excellent job. The amazing thing about Beatles (mostly Harrison) solos is that they are short but so memorable. They are meticulous in efficiency.
+sammy beasty (sammybeasty) I also have it on good authority that Johnny Marr never did either.....
The Beatles was 4 Genius! ;)
Never did what?
Harrison´s music was fundamental in the developing of the fab four.
@@mateusschaffer They sure was. I break down their music and are staggered at the composition of their songs. We will never see the like of them again!
For those of you who are discussing who played the "Let It Be" solos: it was always George. Three versions of the song have been released officially. The first one to be recorded, in January 1969, is the one in the album "Let It Be... Naked", the one you can see in the "Let It Be" film, and it was played with the Telecaster through a Leslie speaker. George overdubbed a new solo in April 1969, and he also used the Telecaster and the Leslie; this is the version that was used in the single. The last of the three solos was another overdub recorded in January 1970; this time he used the red Les Paul, and this was the solo that was used in the album (though you can hear very quiet parts of this solo in the single, too). And that's all there is to it. No John, no Paul, no Ringo in the guitar solo. Just George.
While my guitar gently weeps solo is one of my all-time faves. Tremendous.
A great Clapton solo. Agreed.
Did George show Eric how to play the solo or did Eric just make it up on his own?
I was surprised to see how you got Clapton's guitar tone.. the engineer actually slowed the tape speed down to achieve that guitar tone. Great job!
@@TheDerek47 pretty sure that's all
Eric.. it really sounds like his phrasing.

I must have watched this video 50 times or more over the years. And, I have to say... This guy is awesome! The people looking for flaws and mistakes in his playing must be amazing guitarists themselves. Because, for someone such as myself that just likes to play but, I'm not very good, this guy is extremely talented! Give him the credit he deserves. And, I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't have the exact same equipment as the original artists for every band they cover. Mateus... You are awesome!
Great job. The Beatles never cease to amaze, simple/complex, musical, interesting, melodic, ballsy etc... all at the same time!
Jaw on the floor. Eyes wide open. Eyebrows up. Fists clenched. Toes curled. Feeling utter amazement. Wow. I just want to watch this over and over. Thank you.
An awesome job Mateus. You did George proud.
Great solo in taxman Paul did it so well.
This video proves two important truths: first, Mateus is an excellent musician; second, the guitar one plays makes all the difference (Mateus' guitar isn't the same as what the Beatles played). Well done!
The Taxman-Solo is one of the coolest bass + guitar combination soli I know. The bass line is incredibly awesome.
Hard enough just trying to duplicate the solos, never mind the creative Beatles genius that went into each and every note, song, and melody. John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Never before, and never again. Great Job Mateus.
That closing bit of A Little Help From My Friends is absolutely lovely.
I'm jealous of your ability! You make it look so effortless. I on the other hand have the touch of an iron worker! Strangling the life out of my guitar with my left hand. One consolation...I can play "Norwegian Wood". Thank you for sharing Mateus.
OK, You win. You can keep the sunglasses on. Excellent work.
Thanks 😂😂😎
Very Clean & precise picking. Great sound and Great Job !@!!@
From a huge Beatles fan who started collecting in 1970 I thoroughly enjoyed
this. Great job!
Outstanding job bro!
Fam? I love your vids. Learning here comes the sun now. Even better than stupid Marty Swartz
So memorable. So melodic. Perfect fit. Unfold so effortlessly.
Super and excellent work...Thank you SO MUCH Mateus.
Fab.
All these years on since when these album tracks were recorded and released when i originally heard them back in the 60's i have admired them, they will and continue to stand the test of time, truly brilliant.
George!, George!, George!
Why do people keep saying that George was the most underrated guitarist?. I think some mean to say that he is the most "understated". I feel George was the most economical player with some of the most tasteful guitar solos ever recorded. They are little songs within the songs. I think the best way to describe his style is that he played in "complete sentences". Other examples of this style would be Don Felder and Joe Walsh on Eagles' records. George just did it on many occasions with so few notes. Steve Cropper could do it with as little as three notes. On the other hand Django, Chuck Berry, and Clapton played in complete encyclopedias!
The amazing slide solo on Come Together is economy at its freaking most effective
In my opinion, George didn't care about this, he was just trying to do great solos
OMG, I never realized LET IT BE solo is one of the SWEETEST solos in rock history @4:30
I totally agree!
@@danielbarreto1973 One of my fave solos ever, I don't like listening to the other version with the keyboard solo
George’s let it be solo is always been one of my favorites there’s actually four different solo versions and they’re all different let it be naked let it be in the movie let it be on the record there’s another one I can’t think of it
@@joecummings9662 There's the Let It Be single version and Let It Be album version.
Excellent. A true Beatles lover and appreciator.
Thanks buddy, sometimes we stay in awe in front of the beautiful voice arrangements of the Fab Four and forget how beautiful George´s lead guitar is.
Decent stuff!! I do like that its played in a modern style. This is surely what the solos would sound like if George could have played them now. He was an underrated guitarist, and this is some fine playing from Mateus :-)
YEAH, I like that too. We can see and hear that Mateus is a post-80s player in a heartbeat, but it matters not. There are many quite subtle nuances in this Beatles lead work that he totally nails PERFECTLY and a few others that are slightly altered. I can can hear the originals anytime. I like the little subtleties that mark out that bit of player interpretation for originality. It takes a bt of chutzpah to do that to the work of legends - full marks to Mateus as he's clearly got both the taste and the skills to pull it off!
I think the beauty of his approach here is it will inspire 60s players to get a bit smoother at playing their old faves and it will also inspire those of a younger more metalhead persuasion to see the great skill and craftsmanship to be found within in this music - if they haven't already got there earlier. It has to be a win-win if we can carry the appreciation of the Beatles' musical genius forward to a new generation.
man, never underrated their solos, truly my fav band ever in all senses... when you started I was like 'he's picking some of my fav early beatles solos, great'.
I think you did a great job.
Jeeeeeeesusss !!!!!!!!! UN-FECKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have just inspired me to start playing guitar again.
best compliment ever for a musician
Let it Be was actually Gorge Harrison I think..
Yes, that was George Harrison's solo on "Let It BE." Just look at the video.
Vitina Morabito there's two solos one on top of the other, if you listen to the solo you can hear the other solo in the background.
+Iram Velazquez John Lennon played bass (Fender VI)
It was Harrison playing the lead on Let It Be. Just watch the many videos of the movie footage. I saw the movie when it first came out. Case closed.
+cancel As Iram Velazquez points out, there are two different solos. The one that George played in the film and then there's an overdubbed one that was either on the LP version or the 45, I don't remember. Maybe John plays the overdubbed one...?
Wow .... talk about perfect ! Plus ... it makes one realize just how fab George was !
John lennon didn't played the Let it be solo guitar...John played actually a fender bass
His Bass was removed from the album Paul went in an re-recorded all the bass Tracks
Great job Mat. So pleased that the next generation appreciates the music of the Beatles. Rock on Bud. Love & Peace , out. SW. Ontario Canada.
Enjoyed it very much! Wanted to add; The twin leads in "And Your Bird Can Sing" are by George Harrison and Paul McCartney. (Not only George).
The solo on taxman was also McCartney and not George
The most awesome performance of this material that I have ever heard and seen. The Toppermost of the Poppermost!!!
excellent work - great quality
Beatles were really good musicians ...
when someone say "I don't love Beatles music", you can be sure it's not the advice of a good musician ! ... .
jean michel Dumont fully true 😀
jean michel Dumont what a line of horseshit. People can have different opinions, it's not your place to say whether they're right or wrong.
@@PaintHerWhite I know a very good drummer here where I live, that says he doesn't like the music of The Beatles.
He prefers blues before pop music.
I have a hard time understanding his reasoning or even believeing him.
You could put it more succinctly as 'cloth-eared numpties'
I'm so happy you did "The End." Hands down my favorite Beatles solo, but probably one of my favorite solos of all time. Very underrated.
You captured the simple beauty in all of those guitar solos. Superb job!
I wouldn’t say any of them were “simple”! :-)
Your tone on the let it be solo sends me straight to heaven
And your playing of course. Great job man
Thanks, dude!!! ❤️🤘
Mateus , brilliant sir , thank you
Very nice. You’re playing what every teenaged boy in the ‘60’s wished he could play. Most of us had to settle for air guitar.
Thanks for an intensely nostalgic experience!
Let It Be is George and Drive My Car is Paul.
Great video.
That's right
And Drive my car is slide guitar
zolque Yes, and the guys who've played for Mac on tour generally haven't used slides. So what?
He showed a fine way to play it without.
TH-cam is so full fo numb-minded fools.....
MP Pk
I've got something for you dude, look back in your ass : a big bottleneck, but you can have fun without.
***** The good one is George's.
Excellent Masters! I absolutely love the solo to And your bird can sing. Not an easy one, and your harmonies were spot on! Thank you!
omg i've been looking for this video and you know for how long?? for about 5 years now..first time i've watched it was in 2009, i downloaded it then my PC got formatted and now i found it again!! so happy xD
Superb I totally appreciate It
Great job- love how you highlight musicality of their guitar work through your fine playing- Maccas' solo on Taxman puts most shredders in the shade- guitar trio at the end had me in air-guitar mode
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting!
Beautifully done. You nailed every single one excellent playing. So many guys who attempt Beatles solos never seem to get them right you are the exception and you've taken the time to get the tone right. Well done son.
exo playing, you nail every solo beautifully.
Very good stuff. Much enjoyed. I've listened to (and currently listen to) Beatles music for decades along with a great many hours playing their music on the drums.
Excellent playing.... subscribed.... huge.
I love these videos that TH-cam throws up for me to watch. I really enjoyed this. I wish I could play like this. The Let it Be solo (by George) is one of my favourites. Every time I hear it I get goose bumps.
Respect, well done mate.
Cheers.
Good renditions of classic Beatles guitar solos.
Everybody's a damned critic. You sound great. Ignore the trolls.
Or maybe he appreciates constructive criticism instead of shallow people like you just telling him he's "perfect" and never telling what he needs to hear to get better.
Exactly! He who complains should upload a video of themselves playing said riff
Thanks guys ;)
Wolf Blade this coming from a guy who’s biggest accomplishment is eating his own booger’s
@@wolfblade7224 very true sir
I could listen to these all day.
I really like this ;)
All I see by you guys is arguing over who played the album version of the "Let It Be" solo. Does it really matter? I always knew that George Harrison played the original "single version. It's good, but man isn't the "album" version so much better? Who ever does play it, absolutely let's it rip! Now to my main point. Damn boy, what a hell of a great job you just did! Awesome, entertaining video. I didn't want it to stop! You can really jam on that axe man. Thank you very much!!!
Single is better
George played all 3 solos we are familiar with. Two with his tele and one with his Les Paul.
Even though you play the same note, you don't play the same way and it's nice to hear this as something new
I just liked something that was made 11 years ago lol. Nothing gets past me.
What I like about this guy is the inexpensive epiphone guitar, sunglasses and headphones and yet he sounds like a million bucks. That's confidence.
Each of these solos is in fact a new song inside another...
I could watch and listen to this all day
I think it's proper to say that you ROCK
Thank You bro 🤟
Nice job. Clean playing, lyrical, musical. Characteristics shared by the Beatles, especially George.
Great vid man!!! You play amazing!!!!
Thanks dude! 🤘🏻❤️
Thank you so much! One can learn so much from watching how you are playing these solos. I am more grateful than I could probably verbalize it :}
Let it be is George Harrison's Solo.... John Lennon play the bass
Javier Carbajal John Lennon played bass, but Paul redid the bass part. www.beatlesbible.com/songs/let-it-be/2/
Johns Bass was Removed Paul RE-recorded the bass tracks
Absolutely brilliant, sounds true to the original tracks
Fab job mate!!!😎
simply amazing!!!!
Great video! It was a wonderful way to pay homage to all that great music. And you look pretty damned cool performing as well. Thanks for the show.
Make it an even dozen. Old Brown Shoe. Genius.
Brilliant work.
Nice job! Just a few corrections. Paul played the Drive My Car solo, George and Paul played And Your Bird Can Sing, and George played the Let it Be solo.
***** No, Paul played guitar on several Beatles songs. He was a guitar player first, and took over on bass when Stu Sutcliffe quit before they made it
.
***** John played the solo in Let it be in the album version
Luis Daniel Preciado Nope. It's got George written all over it. Lennon played bass.
mr guffman You are correct! John played a Fender VI, to be exact (Baritone guitar as opposed to a proper bass). Just FYI :)
MP Pk Actually, it was Ringo Starr who played this solo: "While the others were out, having a smoke, Ringo grabbed Paul's Casino guitar, plugged into a Boss Flanger, and began wailing away...'bloody hell!', I said to myself, 'gor blimey, who knew??, said engineer G. Emerich" - George Martin, in "The Secret Beatles", p. 425
Great work. Hearing the Taxman solo the first time was amazing.
damn... I need more practice....
GREAT JOB DUDE! :)
Hahaha!!!
Yeah Mateus. So Great to SEE these Great Beatles solos after hearing them all these years. I'm a drummer but I can hum these solos note for more. Also I am pleased to finally see and understand how much bending of strings goes into the playing of these solos. Beautiful guitar playing Mateus, of my favourite band.
Very very nice! Terrific playing and you captured the feel really well. Love the fact that you're using the Les Paul for everything.
Absolute sheer utter respect for you - you make it look so easy. Brilliant and a delight to watch.
Paul played the slide solo on Drive my Car and Paul and George played the solo on And your bird can sing and Your going to Lose that girl. John and George played the Nowhere Man solo together.Paul is highly underrated as a guitarist.
Excellent job. Mateus's modern more distorted style brings the solos up-to-date -- they stand up against anything you'll hear today (IMHO).
Excellent. Wow I never knew Lennon did the solo on the album version of Let It Be?
He didn't. it was George that did both solos.
Very good,i love the subtlety of Harrison's style which you demonstrate quite beautifully.Neat man.
Amazing solo, man. but I think it's George who played the solo on Let It Be.
WOOOWWWWW. BRAVO. PRECISION AND PERFECTION!!!!
thats whats missing in todays music: instruments!
todays music does in fact have instruments. just because a synth isn't the same as a guitar or piano doesnt make it less of an instrument, although todays pop music is subjectively shit
ko kop a synth plays an instrument it’s not an actual instrument like a real guitar
You're a moron. There are thousands of great bands out there, young bands, making great music, on instruments. You act like they're a thing of the past or something. You're just ignorant.
Look up Red Vox and king gizzard and you can thank me later
@@the8bitbuilder956 King Gizzard, yeah!
LOved your While my guitar gently weeps solo. I am just learning that now! Let it be! OMG amazing.
Incredible guitar work. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing, friend.
I love these inspirational comments. Make my day brighter even if it is not my vid
Thank You so much! ❤️🤟
What about day tripper guitar solo? That’s good solo
Great skills. Great listen! Thank you.
Fantastic. You need a part 2 to get the Lennon leads on "You Can't Do That," "Every Little Thing," "Get Back," and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)."
I play every single Guitar solo by The Beatles! Part 2? Why not?
@@mateusschaffer yes please, can you do a part 2?
Awesome video, thank you for keeping their music "the beatles" alive.
Kind regards, Eric Dee
Misssing the amazing guitar solo of George Harrison in Old Brown Shoe.
That’s my jam...’.right there!
Please update..with that solo!
Thank you mateus for reintroducing me to these solos from my early teens. I'm going to work through all of them again.
Damn, that was BadAss 👍
I can honestly say that you play he best Beatle solos that I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I like the background tracks and I love that all the songs are in A 440 HZ.. So many of the Beatle songs are tuned a little lower or higher and I have to retune my guitar all of the time while practicing.
Paul played the solo on Drive My Car not George.
George played most of that solo. The only part Paul played was the very end of the solo, with a slide. Read it in an interview with George.
Paul played the whole solo. George played the bassline-doubling guitar throughout the solo as well.
Now that was fun to hear!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for making my day dude. Music from the 60's & 70's always makes me smile and somehow manages to energize me. Play some Beatles and all will be right with the world.
It's cool to know that George wasn't the only lead guitar in the band
But he was the best.
And for let it be, it was still George who wrote it
@@reworkgaming1202 And he played Both versions
