I can't get enough of these. I keep telling myself, "expand your playing, Sam," yet 90 percent of songs I play are Beatles songs. I can't complain though. The amount of different and new rhythms, keys, and chords these videos show me is enough to broaden my playing.
George was beyond awesome. I can understand the ''Lennon-McCartney'' songwriting credits, but that's so unfair because many of those Len/Mac songs would have lost so much without George's input. I don't think there was any other person anywhere on this planet who could have come up with the great solos that complemented those Beatles' songs so perfectly.
they all needed each other to reach the heights they achieved. In the Band Chicago Terry Kath wanted to have his own band without the brass but didn't realize the diversity and timing of the band works together to put them where they were.
You can tell why The Beatles liked it - rolling rhythm, great harmonies and swooping melody. Always been a favourite of mine and you did a great job on this video. Many thanks.
A clever song explained by a clever man. Never thought much of this song until now. The brilliance of the Beatles displayed in its purest form. Well done Mike.
Thanks Mike for another great video, I know you put a lot of time in your videos. All of us musicians and Beatles fans appreciate you, keep them coming.
Excellent job Mike. This wasn't one of my most played songs until I saw them play it at the Candlestick show. From that point on I was hooked. The dark subject, yet the extensive use of major cords was confounding. The harmonies were really different, interesting and well executed even when performed in far less than ideal conditions. And as you so aptly note, George's riffs fit in so well. Thanks for your work with this, and your many other lessons.
Brilliant lesson as always Mike. Love the simplicity but effectiveness of George’s part. Awesome job on the vocals…. Love the high harmony on the last chorus… you nailed it!
This is some of the very best learning material for music anywhere. "If you want to learn to really play guitar, learn every Beatles song there ever was..." ~ Joe Walsh. Now, we have Mike Pachelli to help us. CHEERS MIKE! Thanks for all you do!
To my ears that bridge has McCartney's fingerprints all over it. And notice how naturally it rolls back into the verse, just like he did on Here, There and Everywhere. A master songsmith. At the ripe old age of 23.
Mike, you have nothing but love, respect, awe, and appreciation for The Beatles. As a lifelong fan of the Fab Four, I can identify 100%! Thank you so much for your meticulous, methodical videos. As a subscriber, it’s so easy to tell that all of your videos are labour’s of love.
Fantastic again Mike. The detail you put into your lessons are second to none. It must take you some time just to listen to what the lads are playing on each record let alone transpose it and then film it part by part. It's remarkably brilliant how accurate you are. Thank you.
Great cover Mike. You really nailed this one. As with all of the Beatles music, it is the subtle nuances that really make the difference ... I think you heard them and brought them into your cover.
Fantastic breakdown of yet another amazing Beatles tune Mike! Your version is always so close to the original that it's hard to tell them apart, just incredible. Thank you for these amazing lessons & hope that you are staying safe over there! 👍😉
Good demo of strumming pattern! Your Gibson sounds great. Thank you for showing how to do this old Beatles song. Amazing demo on your Gretsch! Wow! Love those George Harrison riffs where he bends those notes. I like how you've got your metronome going along with this. Very cool & great vocals too.
...thing is the Beatles developed an enduring intuitiveness as to what is required in a three minute song to grab and maintain the attention of the listener....good work....
Great, Mike. I have just started playing bass and love going through the different songs as Paul would have. When I then go back to a 6 string it feels really weird. I shall certainly be practicing this one as it is one of my favourites from that era.
Love it, Mike. Interesting that the only instrument you do vocals with is the bass. It amazes me that the Beatles were able to do complex harmonies at the same time as playing complex instrumental parts. What talent!!
I like how you explain why each song came about from Beatles it's a fun story to hear it and like the way you break down how the song was played i am tone defe i can't tell the difference between abc so your video is like a lesson for me it give me a better idea how it was played hope to more of video about the Beatles songs because i am a big fan of Beatles👍👍👍😍😍😍
Mike, Excellent stuff as usual... After 2 cups of coffee this morning, I thought about the great videos you make and decided to look into your repertoire for the Fab 4 song, "Every Little Thing". I was dismayed to discover it just wasn't there. I'll be waiting patiently.
MP, love this song, always have….the amazing harmonies…..I love the old Beatles albums that include hidden gems like Baby’s in Black, There’s a Place. Etc.
I'm not here to get the tutorial aspect of this but like your style and enthusiasm in these lessons. I didn't think much about this song until stumbling on it in another video where the Beatles are playing several songs in concert. It's actually a strong composition, both serious and a bit comical in a black humor way. I think their use of a country style in the song is also a mixture of sentiments--partly spoofing the country sound and partly embracing it and enjoying the fun within that style of music. It's not totally sincere, but the country sound is put to good use in this tale of courting a woman who continues to mourn the loss of a lover who may have simply moved on from her. As for the "mistake" she doesn't see, I think it's less about failing to give John a chance and more about the failure to just accept that the former lover has left her and move on in life. But because she can't forget about the lost lover, she's unavailable for John at this point, so he's salty about that, too.
Thank you so much for this this was awesome and really helped I always loved that little riff George plays. While it is definitely a crime to call a Beatles song underrated, Beatles For Sale has so many songs that are off the beaten path like this, I'm a Loser, Mr. Moonlight (which I've yet to find a good guitar breakdown for that) . Thanks again for your awesome videos
Funny thing is, when I hear the intro, the lyrics especially, to the James Ray song, I immediately thought of one section in Dig A Pony that seems to mimic almost perfectly the phrasing of the song's intro. I hear what you're saying about the feel being emulated for Baby's in Black, for some reason I also thought of Dig A Pony a bit.
George Harrison’s playing is sometimes described as simplistic but it’s not simplistic to replicate, he’s timing was spot on and he’s touch was impeccable and that’s something that’s just In you or isn’t ⭐️⭐️🌞⭐️🌞🌞
A quick shoutout to Mike Pachelli for all the lessons he has given us on how to properly play Beatles songs on the guitar. I have learned more about the Beatles, how they played their music and how I can recreate it from Mike than any other source. I keep watching the lessons and wait to be surprised by what comes next. Sexy Sadie can't be too far away and looking forward to future lessons.
Great job, Mike. I've got a special fondness for this song for a reason you didn't touch on. It may be just my subjective take, but from the moment I heard Baby's in Black it sounded like they were trying to do something Scottish. I couldn't listen to the droning pentatonic scales coming out of George's guitar without hearing bagpipes, and nothing else in the song detracted from the vibe. I assume there's nothing in the folklore about this or you'd have brought it up. Again, it may just be my impression. Or maybe George thought bagpipes while working out his part but kept it to himself. Still, the impression remains with me to this day and I just wanted to get it on the record. Again, great job!
Beautiful and has always been one of their most magical arrangement. I've always wondered and I mean ALWAYS, is Paul (and you) in normal register or falsetto for the bridge harmony? Your voices come across so strong as to keep me baffled sounding normal register yet I can't imagine a male reaching that without falsetto. For me, that harmony is the hook that steals the show - I can actually feel the endorphins pouring from my head down to me toe. edit: when I listen to live performances, Paul's voice sounds on the verge of breakup which again gives me the impression he's in high normal..but how on earth??
Great lesson, Mike! Aways liked this song. Enjoyed your rendition at the end as always. Beautiful Gibson, too. I see Epiphone has a limited edition of this guitar (EJ-160E) for less money. I'm sure it doesn't sound as good as the Gibson, though. Still tempting to try out.
Man you know every part in detail! I wonder if you have access to isolated tracks of each instrument or you decipher everything from the record. Thanks for the video.
Luis - An engineer friend of Ringo's gave me a myriad of iso tracks about 25 years ago. But there's still plenty of leakage on those tracks. So yeah - sometimes I do. Most times I can pinpoint and highlight the part I'm deciphering from the record with precision eq to hear it better. I had no iso tracks for "Baby's In Black."

Probably my favorite to watch them play live .. their heads bobbing and coming together to share a mic, priceless
I always loved Paul's voice in the "Oh how long will it take....." portion. He is absolutely screaming through this. A favorite of mine.
Excellent video, Mike! Appreciate you putting in the hard work to put these out!
I appreciate that!
A clever song explained by a clever man.
Never thought much of this song until now. The brilliance of the Beatles displayed in its purest form. Well done Mike.
Thanks Mike for another great video, I know you put a lot of time in your videos. All of us musicians and Beatles fans appreciate you, keep them coming.
Just love your method of showing us how great tunes were made!
I was ONE day old! August 11 was a Tuesday! 1964 a very pivotal year in pop music. And the world received me! Great post!!
Excellent job Mike. This wasn't one of my most played songs until I saw them play it at the Candlestick show. From that point on I was hooked.

Brilliant lesson as always Mike. Love the simplicity but effectiveness of George’s part. Awesome job on the vocals…. Love the high harmony on the last chorus… you nailed it!
You’re a treasure, Mike! Keeping the music alive as a much welcomed tradition. Wondrous assessment and execution. Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you kindly!
Brilliant lesson as always Mike, thank you for that! One of the Beatles' best harmonies!
I have spent a lot of covid hours learning Beatle songs....you are the greatest!
Outstanding as always. Thanks Mike.

I think he was only 22 in 1964! Scary how talented he was at such a young age.
Light Years Ahead of anything or anyone today 🥸👍🏻🌞⭐️❤️
Except himself probably 🤣😆

Make that “labours”. Autocorrect!
Awesome analysis of my long time favorite John's song. Thank you, Mike!
Thank you, Mike. I've played this song in various bands since 1980, but never really appreciated its clever and "intuitive" details... Fabulous!!
Fantastic again Mike. The detail you put into your lessons are second to none. It must take you some time just to listen to what the lads are playing on each record let alone transpose it and then film it part by part. It's remarkably brilliant how accurate you are. Thank you.
Martin - thanks for noticing and yeah - it takes the better part of an entire week for me to decipher, learn, record, teach and edit a lesson.
Really enjoyed this lesson, always loved this song, thanks Mike
Thanks Mike I have always appreciated your lessons and Beatle history. 👍👍🍀
My pleasure!
Great cover Mike. You really nailed this one. As with all of the Beatles music, it is the subtle nuances that really make the difference ... I think you heard them and brought them into your cover.
This is a fantastic video Mike! A simple song but also with it's complexities, like nearly all Beatles songs
Fantastic breakdown of yet another amazing Beatles tune Mike! Your version is always so close to the original that it's hard to tell them apart, just incredible. Thank you for these amazing lessons & hope that you are staying safe over there! 👍😉
Wow, thanks!

Another great video Mike! 🙏⭐ Keep em coming ❤🎶🙌
I have watched several of your videos and for the first time, I just noticed you playing left handed on the bass. Now that is impressive !
Absolutely great, really got goosebumps at hearing
im so grateful for your master lessons!!!!
Awsome job once again! Thanks Mike!
Great, Mike. I have just started playing bass and love going through the different songs as Paul would have. When I then go back to a 6 string it feels really weird. I shall certainly be practicing this one as it is one of my favourites from that era.
Thank you mike. I love these Beatle song videos.
Thanks for bringing this to us - great lesson as usual!
I like your Gretsch. Nice instrument.
Awesome lesson and performance at the end. I never quite appreciated George’s genius on the guitar. Thanks for another stellar video.
Texas - Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah - George was a genius!
The best 5th Beatle anywhere! Kudos to you, Mike!
I just love your videos, they help me a lot to play like the boys! Thank you
Yes, that solo is just marvellous.
Great as usual thank you Mike

Hey I'm from Liverpool. You are a talented guy! Very accurate. Love you passion.
Great stuff mon pote Michel. You videos help me polish up my playing of these songs.

Awesome lesson. As awesome as the rest ones. Thanks so Mike. Rock on!
Glad you liked it!
Thx for the insights Mike, great tune!
Thanks for listening
Thanks Mike! a great song and fun to watch them play live. Could you please do Tell Me Why or I Need You?
Nicely done Mike.
The most greatest! Thx)
Your videos are unbelievable professional! Greetings from Hamburg
Thank you so much for this this was awesome and really helped I always loved that little riff George plays. While it is definitely a crime to call a Beatles song underrated, Beatles For Sale has so many songs that are off the beaten path like this, I'm a Loser, Mr. Moonlight (which I've yet to find a good guitar breakdown for that) . Thanks again for your awesome videos
Fun little diddy Mike. Thanks for breaking it down! 😉😎🎸
Love your videos, Mike. Certain parts of your videos - I watch them like it's the Zapruder film.
Wow, thanks!
Lol I know exactly what you mean…”back, and to the left…back, and to the left…”
Funny thing is, when I hear the intro, the lyrics especially, to the James Ray song, I immediately thought of one section in Dig A Pony that seems to mimic almost perfectly the phrasing of the song's intro. I hear what you're saying about the feel being emulated for Baby's in Black, for some reason I also thought of Dig A Pony a bit.
My favorite Waltz!
Awesome Mike 👍
I had to smile when that little bonus Mike popped up in the bottom corner.
Awesome, finally I've learned the solo.
Wonderful stuff as usual
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice one Mike. I was thing so Buddy Holly, then you said Peggy Sue - yes! 😉
George Harrison’s playing is sometimes described as simplistic but it’s not simplistic to replicate, he’s timing was spot on and he’s touch was impeccable and that’s something that’s just In you or isn’t ⭐️⭐️🌞⭐️🌞🌞

Hey Mike! Have you done a video on I’m a loser already? Love those country lead licks
Boy !!! you are GOOD
Great lesson Mike. Do you plan to do “I Call Your Name”? It’s got the best 12 string part I’d love to learn. Thanks
Hey Mike I was wondering if you could help me find one of those J1 60s Keep up all the great videos are the best
Even those times when George doesn't impress you, he should.
I hope Paul watches these videos. I dare say he would appreciate the details you have revealed.
Beautiful and has always been one of their most magical arrangement. I've always wondered and I mean ALWAYS, is Paul (and you) in normal register or falsetto for the bridge harmony?

derekec - That's sung in full voice. By Paul & me.
The bass sounds so good in this
Great lesson, Mike! Aways liked this song. Enjoyed your rendition at the end as always. Beautiful Gibson, too. I see Epiphone has a limited edition of this guitar (EJ-160E) for less money. I'm sure it doesn't sound as good as the Gibson, though. Still tempting to try out.

Man you know every part in detail! I wonder if you have access to isolated tracks of each instrument or you decipher everything from the record. Thanks for the video.
