Thanks for your superb lesson! Exceptional ! I believe that George came up with those brilliant lead lines - then Paul very quickly came up with the harmony parts. What they created here was something SO original - no precedent for it. John, very selfishly said this song was a piece of garbage. Not giving George & Paul any credit for their work which actually MADE the song.
Lennon occasionally seemed to derive pleasure from creating a Mona Lisa and then painting a mustache on it - or equivalently doing the same thing to masterpieces created by the other Beatles. I just ignore those dumb remarks and enjoy the music.
@spindriftdrinker That is a very good one of putting it! Ive always heard if him doing this, for one instance on Till There Was You (which they played for theif Decca audition and EMI) John HATED it and thought it was a load of rubbish so he would mock the song with his rhythm guitar playing. Low and behold George Martin later said it was one of the songs he was most impressed by. That says it all!
Just an amazing guitar song. IT IS SO AMAZING THEY EVEN THOUGHT OF THESE LEAD PARTS….kind of orchestral. I think George probably started it out then when Paul started in on it , it became epic! Great job.
Kind of amazing to think John and George worked out the parts. There really was no precedent for it. Amazing and often dismissed (even by john) as a throw-alway, but complex parts. Great job.
Great lesson. There was a fantastic beatles complete from the 70s that did a great job on this. Milton okun (the book arranger) transcribed the lead part using 2 notes in the part instead of 1.this would mean plucking the 2 strings at once instead of using a pick. You get the duet effect with one guitar. I never mastered it but from what I got it did sound good.
"One person takes a note of the chord, another person takes the next lowest note and they carry it all the way through." Although I love your work and thank you, I don't think that is the best way to explain a musical concept.
Another good lesson. You ask for requests. How about Big Brother and the Holding Company? Jefferson Airplane (not Starship)? Cream? and all those great tunes from Steppenwolf?
Good job. I've had to play this tune in various tribute bands and classic rock bands, over the years and I have alway had the luxury of having two guitarists play the lead solo parts. I have done something similar as you do, if you are playing the part solo, but maybe a little different. I actually like yours a little better. It's a tough song to get to sound right and I am not one to try and "do my own thing," especially when it involves a Beatles or an Eagles tune. I try and keep it as close to the original version as possible. I will never understand some of these guitarist who always want to make it their own, because there is a reason that people liked the song in the first place, which is the SOUND, so why in the hell change it? lol
Possibly the PITCH SHIFTER was invented for such dual octave duets -?---wonder if an OCTAVE DIVIDER PEDAL---3 octaves apart --would suffice ? George & John played an amazing duet on this song !!----the old fashioned way !
Fun fact 1: When Joe Walsh was a kid, he learned to play both guitar parts together (at once). Fun fact 2: Joe Walsh owns the original artwork for the 'Revolver' cover (by Klaus Voormann), and keeps on threatening to colour it in! Fun fact 3: Joe Walsh is now Ringo's brother in-law
Fun thing is that SRV said in an interweiw that he struggled with the two harmony to play it at the same time until he got to know that it was two guitarists....
@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG I would imagine he was pulling the leg of whoever he said that to, because he said in an interview I saw that he had it in a safe.
Not yet. Been to London a few times, went and saw all the Beatle sites there, but not Liverpool yet. I could have in 2009, my old band Apple Jam got offered the gig there for the Beatles festival. I couldn't go because my 2nd son was being born so I couldn't make the gig. One day though.
@@12footchain Well, I hope you come over one year for a bevy in town! I'm a born and bred Scouser, and live near to Penny Lane by Greenbank Park. I've been going to the festival for donkey's years. Sadly, the original free Mathew Street Festival with the outdoor stages has bitten the dust, due to rising costs. But, it's sort of gone back to its roots. It all started in the 80s, when the Cavern Club and a few local pubs in the area, started to put bands on all day over the August bank holiday weekend. Then the council got involved and erected outdoor stages, and it expanded to cover most of the town centre. I once saw "Jimi Hendrix" in a local club one year, he was fantastic! Over the decades, the town centre has changed massively. There are a multitude of places to eat and drink, tons of music venues, and it caters for everyone. There's a large student population, and it's party central at the weekend. Late Saturday afternoon is my favourite these days, then I head home early-ish, usually - before the children of the night come out! The International Beatles Week is a paid for event. This year it's running from Wednesday, 23rd August to Tuesday, 29th August. The Mathew Street Festival is always on the bank holiday weekend, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of August 2023, and it's all indoors these days. You might have to pay to go into a club like the Cavern, but the pubs are free to get in. The original Grapes Pub, just down the road from the Cavern Club, is where the Beatles use to drink. It's still going strong, it's very popular, and they always have something on, but it's far too small for a band, it's either a DJ or the Karaoke, it's a good laugh, though. I usually end up in my local haunt, the Cavern Pub, which is opposite the Cavern Club. A few years ago, Denny Laine popped in for a wee drink! Keep on rockin'. 🎸
Hey! I don't think I've ever seen another EDS with the tailpiece extended like Jimmy Page's until I spotted yours behind you. Not even John McLaughlin had that going on; what can you tell me?
Good eye! Well, that batch of them in 2020 had that feature with the tailpiece far back like that. I don't think I saw them before or since with that, and was just right place right time I guess. It's actually an epiphone G-1275, not the Gibson EDS. One day I'll hope to have the real thing, and if the tail on that isn't in the "Jimmy spot" I'll move it myself. I love that look, not sure if it makes a difference string tension wise, but love the look.
@@christianenriquez1603 Thanks. Much has been said to corroborate what you've pointed out. My informations source may be mistaken. There does seem to be alot of that about this subject😉👍
John and George used sonic blue Strats (procured by their faithful roadie Mal Evans) on Nowhere Man. Your source might be mixing reference to that. The strats are omnipresent on studio photos from as early as Ticket To Ride on into the Revolver sessions, so they may have found their way, in some part, on any number of tunes.
It is absolutely a brilliantly crafted song. It is masterpiece.
Its amazing how many songs one FORGETS how to play after so many years! Your YT channel is much appreciated.

I like how you give a lesson, and this is a particularly demanding song. One of my all-time favorites
1st. One of my favorite all-time songs!
Now this is a guitar lesson we all needed!
Kind of amazing to think John and George worked out the parts. There really was no precedent for it. Amazing and often dismissed (even by john) as a throw-alway, but complex parts. Great job.
It’s Paul and George on lead. John is just strumming chords.
Superb. Thank you for all these great Revolver songs.
The best lesson of this Song EVER. You made it make sense. Thank you!
You teach my Favorite Beatles songs, you really get it, excellent
Excellent lesson, thank you!
Another great lesson, thanks!!
Thank you very much !!! That was an outstanding tutorial! ❤ Thank you for sharing!👍🏼🥰
I love the other version, johns droning rhythm with George’s jingling 12 string 🤤
The chime of the duo lead guitars ❤❤❤ the vocal harmonies 💯
Legend has it that Joe Walsh from the James Gang auditioned for The Eagles and played both the harmonized guitar parts simultaneously.
Great lesson. There was a fantastic beatles complete from the 70s that did a great job on this. Milton okun (the book arranger) transcribed the lead part using 2 notes in the part instead of 1.this would mean plucking the 2 strings at once instead of using a pick. You get the duet effect with one guitar. I never mastered it but from what I got it did sound good.
Thanks so much for this. I know this one was a challenge. Feeling lucky. You could have passed this one up.
I used the Doctor Robert lesson too.
This song really straddles that line of seeming pretty strange but conventional at the same time.
great lesson!
"One person takes a note of the chord, another person takes the next lowest note and they carry it all the way through."
Although I love your work and thank you, I don't think that is the best way to explain a musical concept.
Thanks
Thanks!
Can you do a lesson on horizontal departure by Robert Plant on the electric guitar I always wanted to learn and play that song
cool man
I love anything Beatles related
Another good lesson. You ask for requests. How about Big Brother and the Holding Company? Jefferson Airplane (not Starship)? Cream? and all those great tunes from Steppenwolf?
All good suggestions. I have Badge, I Feel Free, and Srrange Brew so far, check those out if you haven't seen yet

Possibly the PITCH SHIFTER was invented for such dual octave duets -?---wonder if an OCTAVE DIVIDER PEDAL---3 octaves apart --would suffice ? George & John played an amazing duet on this song !!----the old fashioned way !
I think John said it was garbage. I never understood that.
John wasn't a happy man!
Fun fact 1: When Joe Walsh was a kid, he learned to play both guitar parts together (at once).
Fun fact 2: Joe Walsh owns the original artwork for the 'Revolver' cover (by Klaus Voormann), and keeps on threatening to colour it in!
Fun fact 3: Joe Walsh is now Ringo's brother in-law
@drutgat2 According to a Klaus Voormann interview I saw recently, he had no clue where the original artwork was... better give him a call...
Fun thing is that SRV said in an interweiw that he struggled with the two harmony to play it at the same time until he got to know that it was two guitarists....

@@RickytwelvestringI didn't know that!
Any chance you could please do some Mick Ronson tunes? Moonage Daydream maybe?
Just wondering, have you ever been to Liverpool, Doug?
Not yet. Been to London a few times, went and saw all the Beatle sites there, but not Liverpool yet. I could have in 2009, my old band Apple Jam got offered the gig there for the Beatles festival. I couldn't go because my 2nd son was being born so I couldn't make the gig. One day though.

The Stratocasters were used for the leads on this tune, according to what was reported... if memory serves 😎👍
No they weren’t, Both John, Paul & George used their casinos on this song

Whoops. Dammit.
We all make mistakes from time to time…especially when we have a bit of a cold.
This video is a lesson? Or is the history to the song.
To much bla bla.
Excellent ! Its's a G#m for sure. Key of E, chord built on the third scale tone, blah blah blah
Oh yeah, C# (not Db) for the same reason
John Lennon derided this song? Really? I'm shocked. Shocked! (Yes, sarcasm in force here.) And it's 2:00. Kinda amazing, that.
i was wondering why you werent palm muting
Too much talking. Show more. Do more.
The Beatles never played on Revolver, that's why yhey never played this song live.
Stop talking and just play
Stop talking so much
Click bait. I still can't play it.
Maybe because I only play drums?
He talks to much lol
I like you ! I think you are way off. It takes feeling. Not just notes.
talk too much...sorry
Bla bla bla bla bla!!teach please!!!!!
a lot of words dude! I'm not interested in this
So go away. This man is doing a great job and you are being rude and missing the context that he is giving.
