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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
...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....
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 👍😉
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.
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!!
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.
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👍👍👍😍😍😍
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.
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.
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.
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
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."
"Beatles for Sale" was their "Carl Perjims" LP. Perkins began as honky-tonk country before rock and roll came along. Wheter fact or rumor, I don't know, but I read somewhere that Carl Perkins was in the stupido and showed George how he played the two Perkins covers on the LP. "Baby's in Black" is a great song. In fact, "Beatles for Sale" is one of my two most favorite "Beatles" LPs, the other being "The Beatles".
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.
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.
Probably my favorite to watch them play live .. their heads bobbing and coming together to share a mic, priceless
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.
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.
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.

Excellent video, Mike! Appreciate you putting in the hard work to put these out!
I appreciate that!
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!!
You’re a treasure, Mike! Keeping the music alive as a much welcomed tradition. Wondrous assessment and execution. Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you kindly!
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.
One of my favorite Beatles songs.😊😊😊
Just love your method of showing us how great tunes were made!
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.
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 🤣😆
Thanks Mike I have always appreciated your lessons and Beatle history. 👍👍🍀
My pleasure!
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 !
...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....
This is a fantastic video Mike! A simple song but also with it's complexities, like nearly all Beatles songs
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!
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.
Outstanding as always. Thanks Mike.
Thank you, Mike. I've played this song in various bands since 1980, but never really appreciated its clever and "intuitive" details... Fabulous!!
I have spent a lot of covid hours learning Beatle songs....you are the greatest!
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!
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.
Absolutely great, really got goosebumps at hearing
Awesome lesson. As awesome as the rest ones. Thanks so Mike. Rock on!
Glad you liked it!
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.
Make that “labours”. Autocorrect!
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.

Wow, thanks!
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.
Awesome analysis of my long time favorite John's song. Thank you, Mike!
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…”
im so grateful for your master lessons!!!!
Thanks for bringing this to us - great lesson as usual!
I like your Gretsch. Nice instrument.
Brilliant lesson as always Mike, thank you for that! One of the Beatles' best harmonies!
Another excellent lesson! Thank you
Great stuff!!!! My favourite beatles song...... Cheers Mike 👍
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!!
Fantastic! I checked tor this tune on your channel last week! Thanks for your hard work!
Yes, that solo is just marvellous.
actually one of my favorites , well done , sounds great
Playing along with you using the A7 occasionally, definitely gives it some depth. good job, Mike. One of my all time "B" side favorites.
My favorite Waltz!
Another great video Mike. I really enjoy these. Keep up the excellent work and thank you.
Still hoping you will do hide your love away some day. 👍
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.
Never heard the 3rd harmony at the end before, I’ll have to go listen for it. Great ear great job
amazing work on these videos Mike
Another great video Mike! 🙏⭐ Keep em coming ❤🎶🙌
The best 5th Beatle anywhere! Kudos to you, Mike!

Thanks for listening
Great as usual thank you Mike
Hey I'm from Liverpool. You are a talented guy! Very accurate. Love you passion.
I just love your videos, they help me a lot to play like the boys! Thank you

Great work Mike! Thank you 👍🏽👍🏻🎯.
I had to smile when that little bonus Mike popped up in the bottom corner.
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.
Hey Mike! Have you done a video on I’m a loser already? Love those country lead licks
Awsome job once again! Thanks Mike!
Thanks Mike look forward to this one
You nailed it all the way mike..😍😍
Superb job Mike thank you
Great stuff mon pote Michel. You videos help me polish up my playing of these songs.

Great stuff Mike, thanks!!!!!!!!
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 ⭐️⭐️🌞⭐️🌞🌞
And you’ve got it Mike , Great Lesson
great video as ever Mike.
Amazing Mike, thank you so much! 🙏

Thank you for this high quality content
Wonderful stuff as usual
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Mike! a great song and fun to watch them play live. Could you please do Tell Me Why or I Need You?

Thank you! Cheers!
Fun little diddy Mike. Thanks for breaking it down! 😉😎🎸
Awesome, finally I've learned the solo.
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 hope Paul watches these videos. I dare say he would appreciate the details you have revealed.
The most greatest! Thx)
Greaaaaaat harmony
The bass sounds so good in this
Awesome Mike 👍
Even those times when George doesn't impress you, he should.
Great 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 SUPERB

Geoff - Thanks and those Epi's are just fine! Most tone comes from a player's hands.
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
Astrid's half-lit countenance at 1:00 is reminiscent of the "With The Beatles" album cover.
Not a coincidence.
Hey mike where can I get one of those j160 e please reply ty
