I also love the 'historical' anecdotes of the times. Maybe some of the early songs were written in vacuums but even then, it's rather wonderful to realize how contextual (if not biographical) these songs were. Even MAXWELL's, ROCKY's and LOSE THAT GIRL become richer, more appreciated. I always hope all composers leave these breadcrumbs for us to trail along.
Great job Mr Sixth Beatle, always love the back story and when you blend it all together at the end is great! Always look forward and love it! Thanx for sharing!
I’ve always loved this song and how heavy it gets, also another fact I always liked about this song (if I remember it correctly) was that people would return the record because they thought the massive fuzz/distortion was a result of the record being broken. Great video as always, Mike, and I know I’m asking this over and over so I apologize again for that but if you ever decide to do more of The Beatles’ heavier tracks I’d love to see Helter Skelter, I Want You (She’s So Heavy) or And Your Bird Can Sing just for that awesome dual guitar harmonies
Thanks Mike. Great stuff as usual. Have you ever considered to set up an interview with Paul or Ringo? Send them your videos; maybe they'll watch them. You've covered them so well, striving for accuracy, maybe they'd like to share some of their memories with you (us). I know it's a long shot, but it's the ONLY thing you could add to your videos that would make them even better (and they're damn good sir). So.... Paul...Ringo...you guys around? Even a comment would be sweet.
Fantastic lesson! This is the best Beatle guitar teacher I've ever seen and I've been working on Beatles guitar since they WERE Beatles. If you want to learn to play guitar look no further than Mike!
Fabulous analysis. Thanks. One of your best, Mike. One thing that deserves comment and emphasis is how John’s guitar creatively extends the basic Chuck Berry riffs and lead lines, adding originality and harmonic spice to back up the singing and making the song unique and distinctively a Beatles song. The Beatles never copied directly from their heroes. The made everything their own.
4:03 I didn’t like that version of “Revolution” because of Paul and George putting in “shew bee doo ba shew bee doo ba” crap. It’s like they were mocking the song.
Revolution unlocked! When you're a kid it sounds like a glorious rock and roll thrash about. Actually it's total rock and roll virtuosity. One of your best works.
Brilliant break down again. Some interesting stuff online with AI recreating new Beatle material; songs they never sang. Think about that - once and when its perfected what possibilities.
These videos are incredible so interesting to see all the minute details I’d never picked up in their playing, it would be great if you also did the bass parts.
Never thought about it, but it made absolute sense that it was Nicky Hopkins playing piano. That's makes Clapton's initial reluctance to play guitar on While My Guitar more curious tho
Even after watching your channel for years, you continue to amaze me with your comprehensive knowledge of my favorite band. I don’t care what street John or Paul were born on. I love that you dissect all the parts that went into the songs.
Finally! Someone who "got it right". I was using the wrong tablature getting the chorus wrong for the longest time while using a capo. Ugh. Thank you Mike! 🙂
Awesome vid and lesson, Mike. Love how you go through the recording process/history the band used as well. Really adds a lot of depth to the presentation and puts us right there in the studio during the production.
Fantastic - A real fun song to play & Mike, you explain and demonstrate so very well + I love that tone you are getting! Thanks and Cheers from Seattle! 🍻 BTW - is that a Moon photo on your computer screen behind you? Reminds me of a project I did with Richard Hoagland 1990s spotting "Lunar Anomalies" - Haha!
Remember learning the song as a 15 year old. I had piano lessons at school since age of 8. Grade 6 by age 15. Played guitar since 10 yearsold. I was lucky born into a music family and was gifted with a good ear even though I could read music. Point I am getting at is you have highlighted the curiousity of the key of the song. And damn it to hell dontcha know I had a horrendous time figuring out the song. You explain it well. Anyway we played it in A from the outset. Easier and I was used to concert pitch accuracies and what is somewhere between Asharp and B for heaven's sake. A quarter of a semi-tone? Jeez! GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO MIKE, AS ALWAYS.
@@MPfrance I was looking for leg movement I'd guess you played it heel down or the movement is just more subtle than I thought Either way thank you for clarifying And great video as alway really outstanding no one goes quite as in depth
I'm sure when Paul wants to revisit a Beatles tune he's revisiting , he's checking out Mike for the tidbits, and if he's not, he ought too@! Thanks Mike God Bless!!
Fabtastic! Always felt the original was flawed somehow, however great, glitchy and too rushed. Now I feel like hearing the slow version as well - something about the horns and "shoobeedoo-ahh"s
Excellent job Mike. I love to watch your lessons. I've been playing guitar for more than 50 yrs. And I am still learning. Thanks Mike. I grew up with the Beatles and have always been a John Lennon fan. Keep rocking on :)
So happy you got around to doing this one. Learned this song from multiple sources a few months back, but need the Pachelli magic to give it a new lease of life (and remind me because I've totally forgotten how to play it!)
Never would have figured a single coil for George’s part. The Rock N Roll Circus rehearsal version is interesting and too bad they didn’t get it together to play it for the film. Nicky Hopkins doing a nice job on this one.
Definitely a loss of fidelity. They tried to 'over-eq' on the 1st tape when they knew they'd be doing a reduction mix. But they weren't that good at it. 'Tis why the acoustic gets buried alot.
Interesting to think how much 60's technology shaped/limited the recordings. And yet they still sound so good somehow, at least to this layperson's ears. Thanks Mike. @@MPfrance
There is not anybody breaking down the Beatles anywhere close to Mike. Respect and thanks for sharing your hard work and talent.
Agree, it’s beyond belief how he does it
Mike is a genius
yep!!!!!!!!
Certainly is. Just amazing detail
I also love the 'historical' anecdotes of the times. Maybe some of the early songs were written in vacuums but even then, it's rather wonderful to realize how contextual (if not biographical) these songs were. Even MAXWELL's, ROCKY's and LOSE THAT GIRL become richer, more appreciated. I always hope all composers leave these breadcrumbs for us to trail along.
There’s nothing like getting up & watching this video on a Saturday morning. Mike you freaking nail it & I can watch you all day! This is so great!
I appreciate that
Amazing!!
Yet another fantastic lesson & rendition of a classic JL song by MP! Thanks again Mike for keeping the music of the Beatles alive & well! 👍👍👏👏
Absolutely fantastic, Mike. Many thanks again from Liverpool. Consider myself a Beatles nut but I never knew John effectively played the lead on this.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job Mr Sixth Beatle, always love the back story and when you blend it all together at the end is great! Always look forward and love it! Thanx for sharing!
Thanks Mike - been waiting for this one. You really nailed the overdriven tone. Didn’t think that could be done via an amp rather than the desk.
I’ve always loved this song and how heavy it gets, also another fact I always liked about this song (if I remember it correctly) was that people would return the record because they thought the massive fuzz/distortion was a result of the record being broken. Great video as always, Mike, and I know I’m asking this over and over so I apologize again for that but if you ever decide to do more of The Beatles’ heavier tracks I’d love to see Helter Skelter, I Want You (She’s So Heavy) or And Your Bird Can Sing just for that awesome dual guitar harmonies
Awesome!, I love your attention to detail, even down to playing the bass left handed. :o) You are so easy to learn from thanks for all you do.
Thanks Mike. Great stuff as usual.
Have you ever considered to set up an interview with Paul or Ringo?
Send them your videos; maybe they'll watch them.

I know it's a long shot, but it's the ONLY thing you could add to your videos that would make them even better (and they're damn good sir).
So....
Paul...Ringo...you guys around?
Even a comment would be sweet.
Couldn't agree more. It would be nice to hear from them while they're still alive.
Fascinating to see the different parts and how it all fits together. Thanks for breaking down another great Beatle tune Mike!
Fantastic lesson! This is the best Beatle guitar teacher I've ever seen and I've been working on Beatles guitar since they WERE Beatles. If you want to learn to play guitar look no further than Mike!

Thanks Mike for the wonderful lesson!
Great tone on the guitar, Always thought it was George on SG due to the thich tone.
As always brilliant! :) Thank you
'it is the 'foggy mountain breakdown' of pure ROCK & ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did great Mike P...!!!!!!!!!
I'm like George on this one ..I like the shoo be do wah version overall.. and have i tin my collection..
Mike is the best at this.. incredible detail and clear explanations. This channel is an archive for the ages.
Brilliant break down again. Some interesting stuff online with AI recreating new Beatle material; songs they never sang. Think about that - once and when its perfected what possibilities.
Destroys the myth again - John couldn't play
please do yer blues next!
Wow. Impressive again Mike. The time and detail you put into these is fantastic. Thank you once again.
These videos are incredible so interesting to see all the minute details I’d never picked up in their playing, it would be great if you also did the bass parts.
You're terrific m8
Fantastic! This is a masterclass. Your lessons are so meticulous. Love it.❤
Wow ! Asked Mike to add this one awhile ago. As always, we are all SO appreciative if his work !
Amazing how the Beatles added so much flavor to a Rock & Roll tune. After all...they were a Rock & Roll "guitar band."
2:01 Chairman Mayo😁
Would really like to see a lesson on the acoustic version
Great job Mike. Special thanks for that weird riff John plays in the solo. I could never wrap my head around it.
Sounds like glitter rock!
Never thought about it, but it made absolute sense that it was Nicky Hopkins playing piano.
That's makes Clapton's initial reluctance to play guitar on While My Guitar more curious tho
Even after watching your channel for years, you continue to amaze me with your comprehensive knowledge of my favorite band. I don’t care what street John or Paul were born on. I love that you dissect all the parts that went into the songs.
Mikes amazing
Mike, after yers of being a subscriber, THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoa this is awesome! I'm finally learning how these songs are supposed to be played!
Mike you are a Beatles (YT) treasure.
Lennon is an awesome guitarist!
I don't know anything about drums but that snare sounded pretty close to the original.
Finally! Someone who "got it right". I was using the wrong tablature getting the chorus wrong for the longest time while using a capo. Ugh. Thank you Mike! 🙂
One of my favorite Beatles songs and it is amazing seeing the breakdown. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job as always Mike.
While I'm thinking of the "Hey Jude" album, is there any chance of you teaching " Paperback Writer?"
Smythe - I already did it - here's the link: th-cam.com/video/LWgsevK7VT0/w-d-xo.html
I get a kick how you invert your video while playing bass so you look like you're playing left handed. Works well. Cheers
Mike, i love the breakdowns and the history with the songs ! Your breakdowns are helping me learn on guitar and learn these great songs 👍🏽
Great lesson and a terrific sound alike. Exceptional, as usual, Mike!
Awesome vid and lesson, Mike. Love how you go through the recording process/history the band used as well. Really adds a lot of depth to the presentation and puts us right there in the studio during the production.
Thank you Mike, there is no one close to an adequate tutorial out there other than you right here
What a pleasant surprise to wake up this morning to this video in my feed featuring one of my favorite songs. Thank you Mike.
You just nailed it again Mike!
Awesome! I can't wait to learn this one!!! Thanks Mike as always!
Bloke can actually talk for 4 and a half minutes and I don't leave.
description of the key and tuning at 24:20 is huge. thanks
Always perfect Mike…..hope your voice has recovered!
Keith - I ate potato chips to scratch up my voice. And pitched my nose shut when double tracking to be more nasally. I'm ok now - thanks!
@@MPfrance Glad to hear it. Those higher pitched screaming gravelly vocals are something I've never been good at!
Alright!
Mike is sooooo frickin awesome!
Just brilliant.
This is not a Mike Pachelli revolution!!!? It’s a marks and Spencer’s Mike revolution !!!!😉
Fantastic tutorial Mike
the lesson starts at 5:05
Fantastic - A real fun song to play & Mike, you explain and demonstrate so very well + I love that tone you are getting! Thanks and Cheers from Seattle! 🍻
BTW - is that a Moon photo on your computer screen behind you? Reminds me of a project I did with Richard Hoagland 1990s spotting "Lunar Anomalies" - Haha!

So Ringo plays the floor tom the whole time instead of the bass drum who knew thank you for teaching me
No, Ringo plays the bass drum. I’m playing the bass drum and the floor. Tom tom at the same time, same beat.
@@MPfrance I was looking for leg movement I'd guess you played it heel down or the movement is just more subtle than I thought
Either way thank you for clarifying
And great video as alway really outstanding no one goes quite as in depth
Latter part of George’s solo sounds like and reminds me of Paul’s main riff (“the hook”) of Paperback Writer.
But when you talk about learning The Beatles with Mike Pachelli, don’t you know that you can count me out… IN!
that was awesome!
I'm sure when Paul wants to revisit a Beatles tune he's revisiting , he's checking out Mike for the tidbits, and if he's not, he ought too@! Thanks Mike God Bless!!
Fabtastic! Always felt the original was flawed somehow, however great, glitchy and too rushed. Now I feel like hearing the slow version as well - something about the horns and "shoobeedoo-ahh"s
Superb Mike! I can't wait to try my hand at it!
Don - You can do it!
Fabulous Mike, and great sound alike too!
Many thanks!
First! Hey, Boo boo! Thanks, Mike. Just what I've been waiting for. Love your lessons.
wow great vid
Excellent job Mike. I love to watch your lessons. I've been playing guitar for more than 50 yrs. And I am still learning. Thanks Mike. I grew up with the Beatles and have always been a John Lennon fan. Keep rocking on :)
Thank you Mike! 👍
So happy you got around to doing this one. Learned this song from multiple sources a few months back, but need the Pachelli magic to give it a new lease of life (and remind me because I've totally forgotten how to play it!)
The two guitars really fill out the sound. What cool, inventive parts...
Never would have figured a single coil for George’s part. The Rock N Roll Circus rehearsal version is interesting and too bad they didn’t get it together to play it for the film. Nicky Hopkins doing a nice job on this one.
Definitely quoting Do Unto Others! Even the drums are the same!
Thank you Mike! I was looking for a version in A and so much more. Your Beatles lessons are the best!
Hi mike! I love your videos, maybe do strawberry fields or penny lane? It would be very helpful
Awesome Mike as always. Good job.
I appreciate that
1st!
Hi, Mike besides you have secrets of how to play chords when you show us also which pedals to use in the songs thanks you are great
Sounds great through that JTM45.
Great suntan Mike - must be warm down there?
Brilliant lesson as always😊
That was very nice. Thank you! I will download that one for sure.
😍😍😍 wow!!!
Thanks for illustrating the intro properly.
Yogi bear joke put me on the floor😂😂😂
This is totally cool. Thanks Mike. All the nuances - must have taken a long time to figure all this out.
awesome as usual...just wish i had my own studio somewhere to do this stuff like this full-time ha
Wouldn't there be an inevitable loss of fidelity with reduction mixes? Or is it negligible with professional analog equipment?
Definitely a loss of fidelity. They tried to 'over-eq' on the 1st tape when they knew they'd be doing a reduction mix. But they weren't that good at it. 'Tis why the acoustic gets buried alot.
Interesting to think how much 60's technology shaped/limited the recordings. And yet they still sound so good somehow, at least to this layperson's ears. Thanks Mike. @@MPfrance
I love waking up to a surprise video by Mike!
Would love to see a lesson on Revolution I (the album cut)
Very well done. I wanna hold ( and shake ) your hand.
Looks like Mike had fun with this one!
Just a awsome sound a like perfect
Amazing!!!...thank you so much!
Mike ……fantastic lesson … thankyou
